Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53485

Received: 25/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Michael Polgreen

Representation Summary:

Kingswood (Lapworth) should not be classed as a primary service village because local services and transport in particular are just not good enough.

The proposed infill developments on the East side of Station Lane are unimaginative and out of keeping with the rural environment. If houses have to be built then it would be better to create a new close off Station Lane for them and leave some of the green aspects of Station Lane.

Kingswood (Lapworth) should not be classed as a primary service village because local services and transport in particular are just not good enough. There is no prospect of the train service improving as Chiltern Railways are making it worse each time it is changed. The suggestion by a Council representative that this doesn't matter because people will use cars instead is just madness. Houses and transport should be co-ordinated so that people need to use cars less, not more.
