In my view the council and government should consider the empty properties in the area for regeneration rather than looking at new developments. Also there is insufficient business activities within the area to support additional houses. There is no point building new houses when there are no employment opportunities in the area to sustain the influx of more residents.
You also have to take into consideration the recent problems of flooding to Cubbington village. Building on open land which currently soaks up the rain water would only increase the probability of more localised flooding in the future.
