I object to the above mentioned site being used for future housing development for the following reasons:

* The protection given by the existing green belt should be retained and protected whilst there are other non protected green sites suitable for development in the district.
* The green space between Lillington and Cubbington must be protected in order to prevent the unrestricted sprawl of the large built up area of Leamington Spa, it safeguards the countryside from encroachment, protects wildlife, improves the environment and maintains the two distinct communities of Lillington and Cubbington.
* Access to the proposed development site would be via the existing estate roads infrastructure built during the 50's 60's and 70's, totally unsuitable to support the substantial traffic increase that would follow any large scale development of the site.
* The current main roads and associated junctions serving the areas of Lillington and Cubbington are already overloaded at peak times and are inadequate to support the additional traffic development of the site would bring. In addition, cross flow traffic and congestion through Leamington Spa would significantly increase as the majority of food retailers and employment opportunities are located south of the the River Leam accessed by only four river crossings.
* The impervious heavy clay subsoil causes the site to be prone to flooding particularly, along the north western boundary which currently causes surface water run off flooding to the rear of Cubbington Road, properties in Oakridge Road, Parklands Avenue and Cubbington Village.
