I would like to express my concern about the allocation of houses in Loxwood indicated in your CDC Local Plan Review, Policy S5 which has been issued for consultation.

Bearing in mind that we are in the far North of the area, we also have to contend with a possible 2500 house on Dunsfold Airfield, two large housing developments in Alfold, plus proposed development in Bucks Green and the ever increasing size of Billingshurst, which are all within a few miles of Loxwood. The extra number of cars that these developments will bring to area is enormous.

My concern is that the present infrastructure will not be able to cope with another additional 125 houses. There are problems with the sewage system in the village now and it appears that there are no immediate plans to remedy this. There is no reasonable bus service so people are reliant on using their cars. There are no employment opportunities in the immediate area which means people have to use their cars to commute further afield to Horsham, Guildford or even further. An added problem is the flooding of local roads when we have heavy rain.

Also the number of houses seems to be disproportionate compared with those allocated to other villages such as Wisborough and Kirdford.

To summarise : I consider the number of houses allocated to Loxwood is disproportionate and that neighboring villages should take their share, bearing in mind the inadequate sewage system here in Loxwood.
