Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 44073

Received: 08/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Anne Harwood

Representation Summary:

I would fully support a more modest plan for affordable housing in Cubbington.

However, the size of the proposed development cannot be supported by the infrastructure, especially the road systems - and in particular the way it would feed onto Windmill Hill (a cross roads already well-known for accidents).

Local schools would not be able to cope with the increased pupil numbers and again the traffic congestion around schools that already exists around morning and afternoons.

The added flooding threat which would be worse than three years ago when almost 50 homes were severely damaged.
