I am opposed to the number of houses planned for the Kingswood area of Lapworth. The planned 100 to 150 new houses represent an increase in housing of 31% to 46% in the Kingswood area, a huge proportion which will alter the character of the area. While I am not opposed to phased small scale development distributed throughout Lapworth, I am strongly opposed to major development in any part of Lapworth, including Kingswood. Any development should blend into the existing landscape and not eat into greenbelt land. There are other possible sites identified in Lapworth that seem to be ignored.
I am also concerned that the issue we have at the moment with surface water flooding in the Kingswood area will only be made worse by more house building.
Traffic on Station Lane is already congested around the school and the Lees Chapel at busy times and this will be exacerbated.
