Representation Summary:

I object to this particular site for a number of reasons. Firstly as a long standing resident of Cubbington the area has been subject to flooding and has only just recovered from the last floods Further building will only serve to exacerbate the already dire problems. This is not a new problem and it appears that over the last 20 years at least measures have failed to improve the situation.Secondly this is a green belt area an if this is built upon we are gradually destroying what little natural beauty we have along with the habitat for the wild animals.

I object to this particular site for a number of reasons. Firstly as a long standing resident of Cubbington the area has been subject to flooding and has only just recovered from the last floods Further building will only serve to exacerbate the already dire problems. My parents live in New St and both themselves and their neighbours have had an incredibly stressful and distressing time. This is not a new problem and it appears that over the last 20 years at least measures have failed to improve the situation. There are a number of residents who have found it hard to even get insurance and due to this and other circumstances one resident has had their house repossessed.
Secondly this is a green belt area an if this is built upon we are gradually destroying what little natural beauty we have along with the natural habitat for the wild animals.
Thirdly it appears that Cubbington is always viewed as the easy option as was clearly demonstrated with the mobile phone masts which have been placed within the area.
Finally there needs to be consideration given as to whether these house would be part of Cubbington or Leamington. We are viewed as separate to Leamington as is blindingly obvious from the way the boundaries have been changed for the voting. If the Village - which will no longer be that way - is to accommodate a huge number of extra families where will the money come from to expand the schools and local services?
