This is a large complex development to be dropped into a rural area. To sustain it would require
a number of primary schools, probably a secondary school a major upgrade of the Old Warwick
Road to provide safe access to the site together with a new medical centre and some shops.
The public transport in the area is very poor so all journeys to and from the development would
be by car putting a large strain on the existing road network.
It would take out a large area of greenbelt and effectively form one large conurbation of
Lapworth and Rowington.
The area enclosed a large area of ancient woodland Rowington Coppice which could be lost
during development.
There also seems to be a dearth of owners putting up land for development of this scheme
which to me demonstrates the lack of local support for it. All of the above in my opinion leads to
plot C1 not meeting the sustainability criteria to justify the destruction of so much green belt. I
therefore urge the planning committee to remove C1 from the SWLP.
I believe the my objections to the two developments C1 and 53 above are important because
the are unsustainable without increasing the local infrastructure massively and consequently
changing the villages of Lapworth and Rowington beyond any recognition of what they are now.
I believe that the type of housing will be expensive and unaffordable for a lot of the local
population.
I respectfully request that planners and councillors refuse the allocation proposal for
the site(s) referenced, based on the reasons provided.
