Representation Summary:

I rent in Cubbington and believe I am the type of person that this housing is aimed at. However I have found these types of housing developments to provide small houses with cramped living conditions, this is how they meet their targets/make a profit. It is a terrible idea to try to link lillington and cubbington, the places have different atmosphere's and would create a generic urban sprawl which would lack individual village identity. Offchurch road would need widening to cope with the extra traffic and causing further environmental impact! Green field sites should be exactly that!

I have recently moved to Cubbington into rented accommodation and believe that I am the type of person that this housing strategy is aimed at. However I would refuse to buy one of these houses as I have found these sort of developments to be very small, cramped living conditions, how else can they meet their targets/make a profit? I think it is a terrible idea to try to link lillington and cubbington, they places with very different atmosphere's and identities and would just create a generic urban sprawl which would be lacking in the identity that villages have. Roads such as offchurch would need widening to cope with the extra traffic and this would further disrupt the wildlife which will already have been made homeless by this development! Green field sites should be exactly that! Countryside, water absorbing areas to be enjoyed.
