Replace the single large site allocation for Loxwood with a dispersed approach comprising small / medium sized sites with a focus on self build housing provision.

The policy approach for Loxwood is for inappropriate homogeneous large scale housing estate development.

This does little to broaden housing choice in the local area because similar developments are evident at larger nearby centres such as at Billingshurst in Horsham District.

Communities in Loxwood and the north of the district are ready to embrace more dispersed smaller site opportunities and growth of a proportionate scale that serves to organically evolve and grow the settlements maximising support for local businesses, facilities and self reliant strong sustainable communities.

Local insights and available information on local growth and self build housing are not reflected.

The policy approach lets the northern part of the district down because it does not reflect an understanding and appreciation of the particular potential of the local area and its distinct social, environmental, economic and settlement characteristics including demographics.
