Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43674

Received: 15/03/2010

Respondent: Yvonne Henderson

Representation Summary:

The main attraction of living in Cubbington is the village community which will be destroyed by the building of a large housing development.
The village already suffers from problems with flooding and losing natural drainage from this land will make this worse.
The current infrastructure is only just sufficient to support the community at present - the additional demands placed on services and roads by additional housing will overload these already stretched services.
As a resident of Cubbington I feel very strongly that we should maintain the identity of the village and ensure that the quality of life of current residents is protected.
