As a longstanding resident of Lapworth, who lives very close to the site C1 , on the South Warwickshire Local plan, it is disappointing to think that the Green Belt is being destroyed and with it the character of the area. There will be disruption to all the wildlife that makes this area beautiful.
The site does also not have the infrastructure to service a development of this size.
The Doctors ( Lapworth surgery) is full and so is the small primary school in Station lane. The railway station has limitations such as a very small carpark with only one disabled parking space and very few trains stopping there. This is not even adequate for the current population. Warwick Parkway and Leamington are much larger and could cope with an increased population.
Lapworth has very limited shops even for the current population.
The utilities in the area are majorly stretched currently. The water system constantly has problems with leakage and Severn Trent appear to be unable to solve these issues even with the current level of housing.
The frequent electricity issues such as many power cuts would suggest that companies would be stretched and unable to cope with even a small number of extra houses let alone a very large development.
Telephone reception in the Lapworth area is barely usable as it stands.

Areas that would be more suitable for a large scale development would be ones that have the infrastructure already in place such as South Leamington and also the Long Marston Airfield.

The Green belt is precious and there are many better areas that would be more suitable for a large development of houses, where there are main roads, multiple varieties of shops and areas for parks, large schools and activities for the younger generations.
Our countryside and heritage should be preserved.
