Full text:

I understand that, as part of your local plan revisions, you are proposing to amend the green belt
boundaries in order to allow more housing provision within the Lapworth/Kingswood area. As a
local resident I would like to confirm my support of this proposal.
As owner of the above name property in Old Warwick Road, Lapworth I am aware that my
neighbour, Graham Bull, has been suggesting that his own site is considered for housing
development. Mr Bull has consulted with me from an early stage; sharing his plans and I want to
also confirm my support for his proposals (subject to detailed designs) which I believe will not be
detrimental to the area and will sympathetically add to the limited housing stock in the village.
More importantly I believe the proposed development would meet demand given location, access
and ability to walk to amenities of shops, train station, doctors surgery, village hall and
restaurants/pubs. The nature of the proposed accommodation for retired/restricted age given use
of local amenities also appears to fit with the current planning localism theme guidelines.
Furthermore I would also like consideration be given to including my own site within any extended
development boundaries to the village as it is equally well placed in terms of location and access
to villages amenities etc. I would be prepared to work alongside Mr Bull as the two sites adjoin
one another albeit ours does also have its own access. Our site is shown edged red on the
attached plan and at present the majority of the land is used as a paddock with stable having a
separate road access.
If you do have any other queries please contact me.
