Objection to proposed development site ref ID 169, 649 & 514
The proposed sites are all green belt land & will be detrimental to the area & wildlife.
The access to these sites are from Station Lane & Rising Lane. The area & surrounding lanes would not cope with the potential of over 1000 additional vehicles. Station Lane is over 50% unpaved (see pic) & would prove a significant risk to pedestrians. The School is also on this Lane. Rising Lane has a blind narrow canal bridge (see pic) & unpaved.
The building of the large amount of houses proposed would cause significant disruption to all residents of Lapworth over a long period of time.
The trains calling at Lapworth are insufficient for a large increase in population. Chiltern run a regular service from Birmingham to London, adding stops at Lapworth would prove very problematic for them even if they would agree to consider. The car park is also very small.
Buses at present are not really servicing the area, there would need to be considerably more placing further pressure on the lanes. The narrow canal bridge on Rising Lane would also need to be considered. It should also be noted that the Railway bridge on the Old Warwick Road has a height restriction of 3.7 metres 12'3" which for scale is less than a height of a double decker
bus.
Lapworth surgery is at full capacity.
The Primary School could not accommodate so may additional children.
Limited shops & no recreation areas. All proposals are for dwellings, no additional infrastructure.
Lapworth is a popular walking area with the unpaved lanes being regularly used
