Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4330

Received: 15/03/2023

Respondent: Mr Roger Newman

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The plan for Loxwood is unsustainable given the local lack of employment, public transport and waste water disposal. There will be a total reliance on car journeys for work, leisure and living needs. For these reasons the increase of 220 houses is fundamentally flawed and unsustainable. This local plan demonstrates a lack of understanding of the environment in the far north of the district and needs revisiting for Loxwood and surrounding villages.

Change suggested by respondent:

There needs to be reduction in the number of houses required in Loxwood back to the numbers stated in the neighbourhood plan which is currently held up in CDC.
