Respondent: Mr Ian Jones

Representation Summary:

I have a number of concerns regarding the proposed development.

With children under school age I worry about the pressure on school places.

I fear for the unique character of rural community feel of Cubbington which might otherwise be absorbed by expanding suburbs of Lillington......

I fear for the unique character of rural community feel of Cubbington which might otherwise be absorbed by expanding suburbs of Lillington and Leamington.

Currently there is easy access to the countryside, this is a great asset and building a development would greatly reduce the quality of life for the residents.

Flooding has been a problem in Cubbington in the past and anything that might make this worse should not be considered.

Parking in and around the Cubbington village shops can be congested this would be exacerbated buy a size of the development proposed.
