I strongly object to the proposed development of 7,000+ homes in Lapworth Parish due to its detrimental impact on the local area. This scale of development would irreversibly damage the village’s rural character, strain already overstretched infrastructure, and harm the environment by destroying green spaces and wildlife habitats. The proposal is also incompatible with local planning policies and fails to address the pressure it will place on essential services, particularly healthcare, where hospitals, GPs, and dentists are already struggling. I urge the committee to reject this proposal in the best interests of Lapworth and its residents.

I am lodging my objections to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan, particularly regarding potential new settlement C1. My concerns include significant traffic issues on Old Warwick Road, which is already hazardous and lacks public transport options. The local healthcare system is overstretched, and the area’s schools cannot accommodate the projected population increase. Utilities like gas, water, and electricity are inadequate for new developments. Additionally, the impact on wildlife and the loss of green spaces will drastically alter the character of Rowington and Lapworth, compromising their appeal as countryside locales.

I object to the proposed settlement at ‘Land south of Kingswood’ (C1) due to several reasons. The NPPF requires developable sites to be available, but the land has not been submitted by a willing landowner, making collaboration challenging. Additionally, the site is in the Green Belt, and there are no exceptional circumstances to justify its alteration. The area lacks adequate infrastructure, with limited road access and public transport options. Furthermore, the proposed development would harm the heritage of nearby Baddesley Clinton and exceed Lapworth school’s capacity. I urge the committee to reconsider this

I live near the proposed development site south of Kingswood and enjoy the area's beauty. I question the need for development when there are brownfield sites available in Warwickshire. I am concerned about infrastructure; the roads are congested, and local services like doctors and schools are overwhelmed. The potential increase in sewage, water use, and waste also worries me. This area is unique, with small villages and community values that could be lost with the arrival of thousands more people. I urge a reconsideration of the proposed planning deal.

I oppose Potential Settlement C1 due to inadequate infrastructure in Lapworth/Rowington. The school and doctors' surgery are at full capacity, and the power network frequently experiences outages. The railway station is also overcrowded, with limited parking and no room for more services. Traffic is already gridlocked during rush hour, undermining the concept of a 20-minute neighbourhood. Continued development threatens access to countryside and green spaces, particularly near national trust properties. Additionally, roads and pavements are unsafe, especially for school children, which raises concerns about increased traffic from proposed developments.

I am responding to the South Warwickshire Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation regarding the proposed new settlement C1 . I have serious concerns about C1's viability with the 20-minute neighbourhood policy due to inadequate transport infrastructure, narrow roads, significant traffic issues, and pressure on local schools and healthcare. Additionally, the environmental impact on heritage sites and existing challenges like frequent power cuts, flooding, and the lack of mains gas supply raise further issues. Lastly, the area has limited local employment opportunities, compounding these concerns.

I am deeply concerned about the poor infrastructure in Lapworth and Rowington and wish to object to the proposed housing settlement C1. As a resident of Rising Lane for five years, I have seen a significant increase in traffic, which has damaged the roads and agricultural access. There are already issues with drainage and sewerage, with past incidents affecting residents. The thought of adding 4,000 cars daily before addressing these pressing infrastructure problems seems unreasonable. A large settlement should be located closer to major roads to minimise disruption for local communities.

I strongly object to the proposed C1 settlement and 18 infill applications at Lapworth and Rowington. This development would harm the rural countryside, disrupt wildlife, and increase light and noise pollution. It threatens valuable agricultural land and would worsen traffic congestion on narrow local roads. The local community's facilities are already overstretched, and infrastructure issues like frequent utility outages would be exacerbated. Additionally, the design would irreversibly alter the landscape and impact areas of historical interest. This development is wholly inappropriate for our rural village. I urge decision-makers to reject it.

I am concerned about the proposed C1 housing development in Lapworth and Rowington. My main concerns include the negative impact on wildlife and the green belt, pressure on local services like the school and GP practice, and inadequate transport infrastructure. The local roads are narrow and the bus service is minimal, making it difficult to accommodate the increased population. While I understand the need for affordable housing, the development does not seem sensible, especially when there are brownfield sites available. This proposal could harm the environment and community spirit, as well as strain local infrastructure.

I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed development on Green Belt land, south of Kingswood towards Rowington Green. Developing this area would lead to the loss of productive farmland, damage to conservation areas and ancient woodlands, and threaten wildlife habitats. Lapworth, a small Warwickshire village, is already struggling with traffic issues and lacks sufficient public transport and local services, including a full primary school and an overburdened surgery.

As a resident of Lapworth for 24 years, I am responding to the Public Consultation on the SWLP regarding the proposed development near Lapworth, marked as C1. I find C1 unsuitable due to inadequate infrastructure, including over-subscribed schools, a struggling doctors' surgery, a lack of dental practices, and no pharmacy nearby. Public transport options are limited, and the road network is constrained, leading to potential traffic issues. Additionally, poor mobile reception and utility problems further hinder development.

I object to the area C1 proposals in the South Warwickshire Local Plan for several reasons. The local road infrastructure is inadequate to handle the increased traffic, and the rail station is too small and at full capacity. The proposal threatens precious greenbelt land and agricultural space, and development should occur closer to existing towns with better infrastructure. It would require significant expenditure on appropriate power and utility supply arrangements. and exacerbate flooding issues.

My objections stem from several key concerns regarding the proposed development on site C1. Firstly, it significantly impacts the Green Belt, undermining its purpose and suitability for large-scale development. Secondly, the strain on local infrastructure, particularly roads, schools, and healthcare, is unsustainable, risking congestion and decreased service quality. I also worry about the safety of local roads, frequented by walkers and horse riders. Additionally, the development threatens local biodiversity and lacks deliverability assurances. Finally, it disproportionately affects the community, altering its character. I urge the planning committee to reconsider site C1 and explore alternative sites.

I strongly oppose the inclusion of the C1 and B1 sites in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. The C1 site is unsuitable for development due to inadequate infrastructure, particularly the narrow B4439, which cannot accommodate the additional traffic from nearly 5,000 homes. This road already faces challenges and would need impractical upgrades. Furthermore, the development would harm the environment, affecting protected trees, wildlife, and local communities. Existing local services, like schools and transport, cannot support such large development, making the C1 and B1 sites inappropriate for the plan.
