Having been badly flooded ay my home (I had to move out whilst repairs were carried out), I am VERY concerned about building on the above land. The heavy clay soil will cause problems and probable flooding.

Drainage/ water pipes still need updating, they are not adequate for the village and surroundings - they are already on overload since new houses built.

I anticipate there will be more traffic in the area, rush hour times are already difficult especially around the Windmill Hill area. The roundabout has accidents there.

Also school traffic is heavy at the beginning/ end of the day with children crossing and the parking for parents is already congested.

There will probably be a need for extra school places at both village schools.

An extra demand on doctor's surgery on Cubbington Road - already overloaded.

A need for better public transport.

A threat to village life, lose its identity - Cubbington would become more of an estate, Cubbington and Leamington are two separate communities.

Loss of greenbelt between Lillington and Cubbington.

Threat to local wildlife and countryside footpaths. The surrounding countryside is very popular and people come to walk here and enjoy the unspoilt beauty.
