What is a Primary Service Village? What is the definition and how is it decided that Lapworth is one?
I am not against new houses being built but I would want to see them in small clusters. I am unsure where the requirement for 100-150 new houses comes from. Is this published anywhere?
The impact on the village would be significant and I would like to see a proper consideration of how the growth in population would be dealt with e.g
* impact on Pre-School and School - how would the additional children be catered for in these settings, both of which have limits on capacity and, as far as I am aware, are operating close to full capacity already.
* public transport - bus and train services here are limited. Would transport be improved to help the new residents get to their place of work or will it be a requirement for all new residents to own a car? And how does this tie in with social housing requirements?
* parking - if there are going to be more children at our pre-school and school (if they will fit....), will the issue of parking at before and after school times be addressed?
* GP surgery - I am unaware what the capacity is here but will there be consultation with the practice to ascertain whether new residents can be accommodated.
There seems to be a huge amount of unanswered questions. It is unclear whether some of these questions may be answered in the myriad of related documents or whether they have yet to be addressed. The whole process has not been well communicated by the council. Many are only aware of it due to particularly active local groups.
