While the draft document asks the right questions about impacts of potential development and everyone agrees there is a need for more housing, the document does not identify appropriate areas. C1 Kingswood is green belt and development would cause destruction of woodland, agricultural land, and wildlife. The need should be met by infill development. These proposals will effectively swamp the existing village. Local roads are completely inadequate to access this development so further road building would be required outside the development area itself, causing further destruction and permanently altering the character of the area. Lapworth Station has insufficient parking and is only accessible by a narrow residential lane. It is unsuited for a major increase in use. The area between the Stratford and Grand Union canals is low lying and prone to flooding. The north eastern area is close to the historic Baddesley Clinton House, a National Trust Property, and to the Heart of England Way. The section of the Stratford Canal affected is also under the care of the National Trust as an area of natural beauty. Numerous farms and residential houses would be engulfed by a semi-urban environment.
