Respondent: Mr David Moore

Representation Summary:

If you allow this totally inappropriate and damaging housing development to go ahead, you will be remembered by future generations with the same contempt as the planners who allowed the view of Eden Court to blight the landscape for miles around. Don't do it.

Full text:

This proposed site for housing development is unsuitable for many reasons. The destruction of countryside would mean the end of Cubbington's identity as a village, existing since Domesday. This development would only be the beginning as further encroachment of the green belt would be inevitable, spreading like a stain on the countryside.
The logistical problems of siting such a development here are blatently obvious as anyone who has experienced the traffic on Offchurch Road, Windmill Hill and Rugby Road would tell you. The pressure on local facilities would be detrimental to all residents and the worsening of existing flood problems would be intolerable. At a time when destruction of the environment is a major worry, how can you justify destroying such a large area of natural wildlife habitat and footpaths ?
