Whilst supporting the need for small scale, sympathetic development that does not change the rural nature of the village, I object to the proposed addition of 100-150 houses in the Kingswood area for the following reasons;

1. An additional 100-150 houses would be too many for the small area of Kingswood that has been designated a category 1 village - the number of additional houses was originally based on the much larger area of Lapworth Parish rather than a small concentrated area which will be massively impacted by such a large development.

2. The lack of public transport in Kingswood means that new residents and their vehicles would create even more congestion on the already busy Station Lane. Children walk to school daily on this road.

3. The increase in residents will also impact the quality of service delivered by the school and local surgery.
