I object to the development at Glebe Farm because:
1. Cubbington is already subject to flooding problems due to its low lying geographical situation and an ancient drainage and sewerage system which wasn't designed to service the existing number of homes, let alone a new development. If this is allowed to go ahead many more homes will be flooded in the village on a regular basis.
2. More ingress into Greenbelt land shouldn't be allowed. Cubbington is a village, not part of the urban sprawl of Leamington. A development of this type will destroy the character. Development of Brown Field sites would be more acceptable and appropriate.
3. Traffic issues. There are only two exits from Cubbington - Windmill Hill and Church Hill. There are two proposed access roads into Offchurch Road, this would cause a traffic nightmare at peak times and be dangerous to schoolchildren attending Our Lady and St Teresas. This is already a busy and dangerous road.
