I am strongly opposed to the building of houses on land in greenbelt areas. Large scale development on Glebe Farm Site 3 will eliminate the separation between Lillington and Cubbington and will have a detrimental effect on Cubbington Village and on the lives of the residents therein.

Traffic volume will inevitably increase to a large extent and there will also be an impact on local schools and other services. Also to be considered is effect on wildlife and loss of footpaths across various fields in the area.

Flooding has also been a problem in the Cubbington area and further development could exacerbate this situation.

I am of the opinion that not sufficient effort has been given to exploring the possibility of developing brown field sites in the Leamington area, notably the derelict pub site on Clemens Street and associated areas behind it in Court Street. Also, vacant factory sites on the Queensway estate.
