NO TO 7,000+ NEW HOMES IN LAPWORTH PARISH



Understand the issue

The Public Consultation on the South Warwickshire Local Plan (SWLP) Preferred Options ended on 7 March 2025. 

The impact to Lapworth Parish could be enormous: 7,000+ new dwellings.

This means loss of the green spaces to large infill developments around our homes and loss of vast swathes of countryside to the building of a new settlement.



Have your say

Your voice is critical to the future of our village and surrounding countryside.

Many South Warwickshire parishes will be affected by the proposal, including those nearby - Hockley Heath, Rowington, Hatton, Shrewley, Budbrooke, Claverdon...

Don't let it just happen - say NO to the over-development of our village!
