C1 is not suitable for many reasons. Reasons can be divided into:
1. poor road, bus and rail access and links
2. effect on countryside, biodiversity and historic sites
3. effect on education and health services
4. possible effects on natural resources, water, energy - and on existing less than perfect infrastructure
5. Disruption to local area during construction (time and area affected)
6. no landowner support

The Government and local authorities should be developing policies to bring under-used existing dwellings (ABNBs, second homes, etc) into the housing market rather than developing on green belt and rural land.

This is Green belt & agricultural land, No mains Gas, poor electric power supply with power cuts, area is subject to flooding with most of the roads into the village being just lanes no footpaths, no street lighting, low railway bridge, lots of narrow hump back bridges. It is a Canal conservation area ,Ancient Rowington coppice, Hay wood, two National Trust properties which locals and many visitors come to enjoy all of this area of outstanding beauty. The GP surgery, primary school is at capacity. The Railway Station at capacity too, parking for 16 cars only, and many other reasons.

i consider that the C1 area is in a rural area with inadequate infrastructure and will negatively impact the green belt . The local services of schools and the 2 doctor GP surgery are completely impractical for such changes. The roads are not compatible with the higher level of traffic . The area simply does not have the capability or capacity of having the development placed upon it.

I formally oppose the proposed development of over 7,000 homes in Lapworth, Kingswood, and Rowington under the South Warwickshire Local Plan. The current road network is inadequate, leading to severe traffic congestion and safety risks. Additionally, public services like drainage and water supply are already strained, and this development would exacerbate these issues. Furthermore, the proposal contradicts sustainable development goals due to poor transport links and insufficient infrastructure. I urge the Council to reject this plan in favour of a more balanced and sustainable housing approach.

I strongly object to the proposed development of over 7,000 homes in Lapworth, Kingswood, and Rowington under the South Warwickshire Local Plan. The current infrastructure cannot support this population increase, with GP surgeries, schools, and shops already under pressure. There is no concrete plan for new facilities to be built alongside housing, risking overcrowding in education and healthcare. This rapid expansion will compromise the character and cohesion of our villages, transforming them into commuter towns. I urge the Council to prioritise sustainable, community-focused planning that supports existing residents.

This would change the feel of Lapworth village to a large town, putting enormous pressure on the roads in the area. The local school would not be able to cope with such a large influx to the area and the current railway station already has extremely limited parking unable to accommodate a large increase in users. The country village would become a sprawling mess, covering large amounts of current farmland and detracting from the reasons people visit the area by concreting over local footpaths.

The site is in Green Belt. Proposal is over-development. Insufficient infrastructure to support such a development.
Only one primary school in village, no secondary school and children are bussed to other areas. Doctors' surgery already at capacity and site is too small to develop, currently parking for maximum of 12 vehicles. Rail service from Lapworth insufficient, as trains only run hourly throughout the day, and every 2 hours at times. The service is very unreliable with trains often cancelled. Parking at the station is already an issue, with 16 spaces, without capacity for expansion.
Local lanes narrow without passing places.

I believe this site is wholly inappropriate being entirely within Green Belt and served poorly by infrastructure in terms of bus routes, train transport etc The Road network in this area is unsuitable for a large development with many roads in or around the area are too narrow to have centre lane markings. There is inadequate school, medical or shopping facilities without commuting. There would also be substantial detrimental effects upon wildlife habitats.

This area is accessed by a narrow bendy rural B 4439 road largely through green belt.There are few pavements. The roadsflood quite regularly. The width of the road is restricted by width and height of the railway bridge at lapworth. The station at lapworth has only 16 carparking spaces and no land to increase.The rail capacity is full and there is not a frequent service from the station so would not meet commuter need. C1 area is rural and offers very little employment . Green belt should be preserved to give access to the countryside.

the school in the area is full and only primary and poor travel links to any secondary schools along rural narrow roads or poor railway links on a line at capacity with only 16 parking spaces at lapworth. A lot of electricity is supplied via overhead lines.The area has a lot of powercuts. employment within a 20 minute commute is minimal and it is a green belt area, with canal conservation area, ancient woodland , wildlife eg kingfishers great crested newts voles ancient hedgerows with nesting birds it is not an area therefore to develop with houses or industry.

Not suitable for many reasons:
1. Existing infrastructure (railway station, shop, school, GP surgery) inadequate.
2. Major new infrastructure required before development rather than as an afterthought.
3. Fluvial and surface water flooding issues.
4. The site encompasses entirely Green Belt land and, partially, a Conservation Area and an Ancient Woodland, and is rich in wildlife.
5. in his consideration of the Warwick District Local Plan in 2017 the Inspector said: "The adverse impacts of development on these sites would outweigh the benefits and exceptional circumstances for further alterations to the Green Belt do not exist."

Lapworth is such a popular place to live, with a thriving school, shop, and many pubs. Houses in the area sell for a premium, and there has been a lot of development of large properties and bit detached new builds recently. Having new houses which were more of a mix would bring different people to the area and help to diversify the village.

I formally object to the inclusion of site C1, Land south of Kingswood, in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. As a resident of Mousley End/Rowington, I have several concerns. The site significantly impacts the Green Belt, threatens biodiversity, and would strain local infrastructure with 6,000 new homes. Additionally, there are potential flood risks and negative effects on cultural heritage. I urge the planning committee to reconsider this development, as the drawbacks outweigh any benefits. Alternative sites should be considered to protect the Green Belt and local residents' well-being.

I object to this proposed new settlement on Green Belt land as there is no apparent justification for its inclusion. No landowners have offered sites, and no developers are pursuing housing here. While there is a nearby station, the same concerns raised for B1 Hatton apply: the need for substantial infrastructure investment, the loss of Green Belt protecting community identity, the loss of biodiversity and the failure to prioritise urban regeneration over countryside development.

I believe the new settlement proposal south of Kingswood will harm the character of Lapworth, disrupting its unique identity and community spirit. The rapid influx of new residents will overwhelm the village, altering its character. Additionally, the local wildlife and natural habitats are at risk, which are vital for our heritage. The development will increase traffic congestion and strain existing infrastructure, including schools and healthcare services, particularly at Lapworth surgery. Overall, this proposal threatens the environment, health, and essence of our community, transforming it beyond recognition.

Loss of green belt, which can never be replaced. road network not suitable. utilities would require a serious upgrade to support such a large development. Council should be looking at rezoning town centres to encourage change of use from commercial to residential, to bring life back into the towns. not the easy option of building on greenbelt destroying the landscape and wildlife. We need to be protecting our farm land to produce our food not destroying it.
the council needs to look at other options to solve the housing problem. Affordable retirement villages, students in student accommodation, release housing stock.
