Support policy that states that the District Council will work with the Parish Council on defining the boundaries of villages and thus identifying land suitable for development. Land outlined in red on the attached plan is recommended as a potential housing site in line with this emerging policy. This site is adjacent to the existing Lapworth village envelope. The site:

- Is well located for local services and facilities.
- Has the option for suitable highways access.
- Does not flood.
- Is of minimal agricultural value with ecological interests able to be retained.
- Is not 'virgin' land.
- Is of negligible visual impact.
- Would meet local housing needs - particularly for affordable and older housing.

The site is also suitable, available and achievable and could be brought forward in conjunction with adjacent land.
