Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43637

Received: 11/03/2010

Respondent: Mr Dan Cresswell

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the development of Glebe Farm, Cubbington.
The area is already known for flooding after heavy rainfall. The building of an estate on 53 hectares would undoubtedly exacerbate this problem, due to the removal of vast swathes of natural drainage, and construction of estate roads, buildings, drives etc.
There is no suitable access point for this development on the Cubbington side, and should an unsuitable access be put in, the trips generated by such a development would surely swamp Cubbington and indeed Lillington.
