The numbers of proposed houses for Loxwood needs to be heavily reduced and LPC need to be consulted

There is insufficient infrastructure in Loxwood to support the increased number of houses proposed. There is no longer a village shop or post office, the plan incorrectly says that there is a reliable bus route when there really is not - there is inadequate transport services. The doctors and the school are at capacity with the existing numbers of residents and cannot handle more.

There is a major issue with lack of sewerage capacity as confirmed by Southern Water. Foul sewage has to be collected daily from the two newest developments in the village, Nursery Green and Stonewater, which is ridiculous! The system cannot handle more development. There are similar issues with waste water and grid capacity and the recent developments have put undue strain on the village which will worsen if these increased numbers of houses were to be built.

CDC seems to be unfairly targeting Loxwood without realising the serious infrastructure issues that already exist. CDC failed to consult Loxwood Parish Council about the increased numbers of houses proposed for the north of the district and have ignored the local plan submitted by LPC in 2018 and revised in 2020. This plan therefore also contradicts the Localism Act 2011 which devolves power to local areas.

Increased housing numbers in this area would only be possible by destroying areas of countryside affecting existing footpaths and routes which are heavily used and also impacting wildlife habitats. This is not acceptable in this day and age where the environment needs to be protected. The plans are not sensitive to the historic nature of the village and will lead to the village being overdeveloped
