Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43670

Received: 14/03/2010

Respondent: Mr Jeff Cummings

Representation Summary:

Objections are:

1) Local infrastructure is not at all suitable for this development

2) We should be protecting this green belt land for our children and their children and not building on it.

3) Natural drainage in the area is poor and this may lead to exacerbating the issues local residents have experienced over the years.

I have viewed the other sites and they provide a far more suitable location for this development than site 3 (Glebe Farm).

I object to this proposal for the following reasons:

1) The local infrastructure is not at all adequate to support this kind of development without vast expenditure given to improvement. This is not the case with a number of the other possible locations.

2) The land forms a natural boundary between Lillington and Cubbington and the removal of this will be to the detriment of our children and their children. My daughter currently enjoys walks on this land with our dog as do many local residents. Removing green belt land is not the most appropriate measure when we have more suitable land available in the other sites. Warwick District Council should be looking to protect this land not build on it.

3) The natural drainage of this area poses a problem and by building on it this will exacerbate the issues experienced by Cubbington residents over the past few years.
