Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4347

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Juliet Robertson

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Loxwood developed a local plan that first allowed for 60 houses, followed by a further 121 houses. The village is now faced with a minimum of a further 220 rising to 311. This additional volume ignores the Neighbourhood Plan prepared by the Parish Council and residents.
It takes no account of the already inadequate sewage infrastructure which is not planned to be rectified.

There is no regular public transport or long term job opportunities so the pressure of commuter traffic will increase substantially on already heavily utilised roads.
The scale of the proposals will change the nature of the village.

Change suggested by respondent:

There needs to be a review of the overall plan for Northern area to ensure a more equitable distribution of housing.

The CDC has not followed established National Planning Guidelines and should not ride roughshod over our own Neighbourhood Plan.
