Respondent: Mr Daniel Kuszel

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Adding an additional 220 homes to Loxwood is not sustainable. This is a rural location with absolutely nothing by way of public transport. The village does not even have a shop at the moment.

The village has dutifully supported enlargement through its now 2 Neighbourhood Plans, and now you want to turn the village in to a small town by making the village take an additional 220 dwellings. The sewage system cannot cope at the moment let alone adding hundreds more.

Change suggested by respondent:

These additional homes need to be cited close or in an urban area where there are sustainable transport options available and a funcitoning sewage system which overflows whenever there is heavy rain.

If additional houses are required the total should be massively.

Also the date from which new applications count towards numbers should include the 50 council/housing association properties built off Pond Copse Lane. Scandalous that these have not been included in any housing numbers.
