A revised approach for Loxwood and the north of the plan area with a focus on self build and small - medium sized sites that embraces and reflects available local insights and information.

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.

The lack of a positive approach to the distinct nature of the north sub area leaves it vulnerable to inappropriate homogeneous large scale housing estate development that does little to broaden housing choice in the local area. Such development provision is evident at larger nearby centres such at Billingshurst in Horsham District.

Communities in Loxwood and the north of the district are ready to embrace 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.
