I strongly agree with many of the valid objections already listed by other's such as the increased levels of congestion, flooding, loss of green belt and wildlife habitat and a shortage of facilities for the rise in population.
Also as a recent addition to the Cubbington community I am concerned about the likely negative affect the development will have on property prices in the area alongside the concerns in relation to the recently announced high speed railway

My primary concerns would be the increase in traffic in and around the communities involved as I already encounter regular issues with the state of the roads and the behavior of other road users

It seems that conscious objectors have little influence on development issues, particularly where speculative development or big business is concerned as several recent projects have gone ahead in the area despite strong opposition (council local community and business ) -
Mobile Telephone mast on Rugby road - health concerns and aesthetics,
Tesco's development of pub on Cubbington road - likely closure of local shops and loss of important communal meeting and drinking establishment
Lidl development in Milverton - congestion and aesthetic concerns

The proposed development takes little consideration for the existing local facilities such as the schools and health centers or those necessary to cope with the new development

Cubbington would be likely to lose its village status and be swallowed up by Leamington Spa

One has to ask what and how the local community will benefit from the proposed development given that it is already well served but close to capacity
