Following the recent planning meeting at Rowington Village Hall, we are writing to confirm our support for the proposed development. We believe it is important to ensure the growth of the village communities of Lapwort h and Rowington and is in line with the current policies of Central Government to build more houses and support rural and semi rural areas.

We suggest the following points should be taken into consideration:
It is central to the village.
It is close to all the key services and facilities.
It is not in an area likely to flood.
It is not overlooked.
It has it's own existing landscaping and defined boundary.

We have lived in and around Rowington for the past 45 years and have seen the villages grow and particularly the proposed site which has contributed to the community both as a riding stable and latterly a successful Garden Centre and Nursery.
We believe the proposed development is vital if we are to ensure the growth of the community and to encourage the younger generation to be to stay in the locality with the addition of smaller housing.

We look forward to following the progress of the development.
