Lapworth cannot take 100 new homes in the period proposed
As a Parish Councillor in Lapworth I cannot accept the allocation of 100 new homes over the planned period. We have poor transport links in terms of buses and train frequency, we should be allocated the lower target classification for villages.
If one looked back over history to see how far back it would go to aggregate 100 past new homes it would be around 60 or 70 years I suspect.
Your target is too high and does not justify building on green belt land.
You should have done more to use brownfield sites such as the Ford Foundry in Leamington and not let it go to retail. That location had good services and links, our village should not suffer for your failure to act in time to use it for housing.
Our village school is full now, to increase the number of classes to meet new demands would require it to double in size.
