Loxwood Parish Council Objection
Public Meeting Presentation February 20th ON Local Plan Housing Allocation of 220 homes for loxwood1/3/2023 Residents and landlords reminded to apply for up to £10,000 of home energy efficiency funding
Eligible homeowners, tenants and landlords in the Chichester District are being urged to apply for grant funding to help them install energy efficiency and renewable energy measures in their homes. Last year, Chichester District Council announced that it had secured Government funding to help residents keep warm and save money through improved insulation; air source heat pumps; and solar PV panels. Funding under the scheme is available until the end of March this year and people are being reminded to check to see whether they are eligible and apply as soon as possible by visiting: www.warmerhomes.org.uk or calling: 0800 038 5737 To be eligible, an applicant’s household income has to be £30,000 or less, or they need to be in receipt of a means-tested benefit. The applicant’s home must also have an Energy Performance Certificate of E, F, or G (with limited funding for EPC D rated properties). People can check their rating at: www.gov.uk/find-energy-certificate People who rent privately should speak to their landlord, who will be required to make a financial contribution and give consent for the improvements. Landlords looking to improve their properties through this scheme are required to seek their tenants’ consent. Please contact Terri Foster, Senior Communications Officer at Chichester District Council on 01243 534679. WSCC Highways have developed a new online reporting tool for reporting highway issues. Assessable by the following link Report a problem with a road or pavement.
I have attached two documents which you might find useful: a ‘Flyer’ that gives a bit more detail and a ‘How to’ guide which is a step-by-step guide to reporting and explains how you can ‘bookmark’ the reporting pages to make it easier to find when you want to report again. The rationale for making this change is to improve our journey for customers. For many years, we have been using ‘Love West Sussex’ which is essentially a national tool called Love Clean Streets. We want to make further enhancements to improve the functionality but we can’t do this using the ‘Love West Sussex’ tool. Our new tool includes an enhanced map and improved functionality to enable regular, detailed updates to the customer; however, this is very much the first step in an improvement journey and we will be taking on board feedback to help us shape future changes. We appreciated that this is a change for customers but would like to assure you that this is a first but necessary step to improve our customer offer. As part of this change initiative please consider the following:
Please note that the dog bag bin along Spy Lane will be relocated shortly to North Hall. The odour from the bin in this location was offensive to adjacent neighbours and the Parish Council would be grateful if you could respect this and take your rubbish home instead. Thank you.

The Parish Council have sought clarification from Chichester District Council's Development manager Fjola Stevens as to the current status of the new shop planning approval.
The response received was "I can confirm that the current application for the shop and residential development has been held up by the introduction of the need to demonstrate water neutrality. The case officer is working with the developer to resolve the issue and a scheme to off-set the water usage has been developed and submitted to the Council. There are however some complex legal matters that relate to the particular application and the level of off-setting proposed. This has meant it has been necessary for the developer to apply to discharge the conditions on the originally approved application. This process will demonstrate that the existing permission on the site would be built out if the current application is not permitted and as such only the uplift in water demand between the 2 proposals need be mitigated. Officers will continue to work with the developer in respect of the outstanding issues, although unfortunately the timeframe for resolving the issues will lie in part with consultees and therefore outside of the Council’s control." The Parish Council note residents' concern should the current village shop close and there be no replacement for the many villagers who rely heavily on the local shop. This state of affairs now looks highly likely if the existing shop closes in September. The Parish Council will be discussing this at their Annual Parish Meeting on 25th April 7.30pm in North Hall. Please come along to be part of the discussion. |
