Respondent: Mr & Mrs H Trewren

Representation Summary:

The linking of Lillington to Cubbington village would create a land mass which would be detrimental to the local environment area.

The visual impact to the properties would destroy a long standing natural view.

Wildlife established in the area will lose their natural habitat.

Cubbington already has a well documented outstanding sewage/ drainage problem. Additional housing would place an unwarranted burden on the existing infrastructure.

The topography of the whole area has a potential to cause serious drainage problems.

Welch Road is already subject to excessive speeds and Windmill Hill would face an intolerable increase in traffic levels.

Cubbington is a mature rural village. The linking of Lillington/ Leamington to the Southern boundaries of the village would create a land mass which would be detrimental to the local environment area.

The visual impact to the properties along Parklands Avenue would destroy a long standing natural view.

Wildlife established in the area will lose their natural habitat.

Cubbington already has a well documented outstanding sewer/ drainage problem. Additional housing would place an unwarranted burden on the existing infrastructure. This must impinge on any planning considerations.

The topography of the whole area has a potential to cause serious drainage/ sewer problems which in turn would make it difficult to provide low cost affordable housing.

Welch Road is already subject to excessive speeds and Windmill Hill, where new speed limits are daily ignored, would face an intolerable increase in traffic levels.
