Policy A15 should be removed and Policies H2 and H3 amended to reflect an allocation of 125 houses

The question of legality cannot easily be determined by those without the necessary specific technical legal expertise. However it would seem that the local plan is not in line with the Localism Act 2011 where power was devolved to local areas.
There has been a failure in consultation, a promised study in growth scenarios did not materialise. The local neighbourhood plan has been ignored and the concerns raised on sewerage issues caused by the current level of development in Loxwood and the surrounding villages disregarded. The Nursey Green and existing Stonewater developments are serviced by daily sewage collection tankers due to a lack of appropriate waster water infrastructure. As there are no plans to develop the infrastructure adding more houses will further stress an already over stressed system with an even higher risk of sewage overflow and more tanker traffic through the village. Building which requires waster water management of this type cannot be considered sustainable or environmentally sound. Loxwood cannot be construed as a service village. The village shop and post office closed in 2022 and the proposed shop development delayed due to the known water neutrality issues in the village. Transport links are minimal, the frequency of the buses and the journey duration do not support those needing to get to work. The local roads are not built to support the volume of traffic today, more houses will mean more traffic not just from Loxwood but from the surrounding villages.
The Stonewater development did not take the rural character of the area into consideration and has had a detrimental impact on the essence of a countryside village with its scale and position. Additional development will further degrade the countryside and its local habitat putting ancient hedgerows, woodland borders, footpaths, bridleways and and protected species at risk.
The requirement for specialist housing needs is questionable with the large Stonewater site already over catering for this as some plots remain unsold.
Increased risk of flooding due to changes in watercourses caused by additional building
The Council itself recognises that this part of the plan area would not normally be identified for higher levels of growth, but instead of raising legitimate concerns on quotas with the government on the constraints in the district due to the A27, and the South Downs National Park, the council has chosen instead to put the burden onto Loxwood to justify why it should not be subject to development above and beyond what has been included and shared in a well thought out neighbourhood plan which was developed through a consultative process.
