Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4659

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs Helen Jewell

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Loxwood does not have the infrastructure to support an increased population, already increased beyond the targets for housing agreed in the previous Neighbourhood Plan by recent additional developments. We no longer have a village shop or post office so infrastructure has deteriorated since that Plan was approved by the village.
Loxwood Parish Council has not been consulted.
The village looks North for most work shopping and recreation but congestion will significantly worsen as a consequence of Waverley Plans.
There is reason to be very concerned about the capacity of sewerage and surface water management contrary to statements by CDC.

Change suggested by respondent:

Specific budget provision needs to be made to rectify infrastructure weaknesses before development is considered
