Questionnaire Response:
Site 1a. Yes. This area of land has little in the way of environmental impact. It has obvious access from Leamington Road and off the A46 if required.
There are no public rights of way which would be affected by development.
Site 3: I would object strongly to this. The proposed development would link Lillington to Cubbington village, eroding natural boundaries and green belt land.
The affected area is extremely popular with dog walkers, walkers and families with a number of public footpaths, including the millennium way, a national, long distance path. There are also other paths which although not currently shown on the definite map and statement have seen continual and interrupted use by the public for over twenty years. Definitive map modification orders could be made for these routes.

There will be other environmental issues. There are a number of badger setts and I understand that there are greater crested newts at a site close to Hill Farm.

Cubbington itself has seen enormous strain put on it's foul water systems and over the last few years flooding has occurred. The proposed development will only add to any further incidents.
