Having reviewed the proposed plans for Lapworth /Kingswood, it is abundantly clear that the proposal to add 100-150 new homes would:
1) Compromise the rural nature and reputation of the village, turning it into a mere junction between Birmingham and Warwick
2) Place considerable strain on the village infrastructure including sewerage, roads and amenities
3) Cause significant pressure on services already at capacity including parking, school, doctor's surgery
4) Further damage inter-generational relationships in the village due to lack of facilities for children and young people, leading to a requirement for an increased police presence
5) Not increase the allocation of affordable housing for rural/low-paid workers and would compromise the value of existing properties
6) Require a significant improvement in public transport in order to reduce residents' reliance on motor transport

In conclusion, it is clear that this proposal is unsustainable and should be further reviewed. As a parish resident I am not prepared to support these plans as they are currently mooted.
