Existing drainage and all other services inadequate
Existing flooding would be increased
Why use farm land to build on
Impact of carbon footprint would dramatically worsen

The green belt must be kept to keep Leamington Spa and Cubbington separate
The 'below standard' of existing roads should not support more traffic as the experts on traffic in this country don't have a clue, look at the following examples:
Junction at Tesco - Warwick
Junction at Cubbington Road/Parklands Avenue is another example of what is wrong
Roundabout at Comptons Garage is another example - all black spots waiting on catastrophes waiting to happen
The existing road Kenilworth through to Offchurch is really a country lane forced to take ever more increasing amount of through traffic (to the Fosse etc)
Extra cars on Valley Road - already proving its too narrow for existing traffic
Parklands Avenue is already overloaded racetrack. Side accessed to non estate would prove to be a nighmare, too narrow, drops into fields
Schools, shops, doctors, surgerys etc. Inadequate to support extra housing
Existing drainage and all other services inadequate (50's, 60's, 70's design)
Existing flooding to some areas of Parklands would be increased
Why use fully used farm land to build on
Impact of carbon footprint would dramatically worsen
Disasterous effect on existing wildlife in this lovely open field area
Why put another large estate at the opposite side of town to all the shops and employment areas
Poor crossing facilities on Cubbington Road
Poor speed control on Cubbington Road, Parklands and Telford
The supposed 'planning' in this area is non existant and needs to be re-organised into a semblance of sensible and orderly - not on a whim!!
Our distinctive areas must be kept separate. Not a great blob!!
