Representation Summary:

The whole area has always been farming land, growing wheat, rape etc yeilding well on the heavy clay soil.
There are serious flood problems.
Access will be a major problem. The cul-de-sac roads leading off Parklands Avenue are narrow residential roads not for heavy traffic!
The Cubbington Road and Crown Way junctions are congested and could not take extra traffic .
Those in Cubbington and Lillington has to travel towards Leamington for shopping/work. The road through Offchurch to the Fosse Way is very narrow and floods after heavy rain.
There are badger setts and foxes in the field.

The whole area has always been farming land, growing wheat, rape etc yeilding well on the heavy clay soil.
There are some serious flood problems as water does not drain owing to the clay.
Access will be a major problem here. The cul-de-sac roads leading off Parklands Avenue were built in 1963/64 are narrow residential roads not for heavy traffic at all!
The Cubbington Road and Crown Way junctions are really congested especially at busy times already and could not take the extra volume of traffic building more houses would create. Every one living in Cubbington and Lillington has to travel in that direction towards Leamington for shopping and work. The other road from Cubbington through Offchurch to the Fosse Way, Southam and Daventry area is very narrow and always floods after heavy rain and is then impassable.
I jhave lived on the border of these fields for 46 years, sole owners of our bungalow and are very much aware of the badger setts here, also foxes.
For these reasons, I object to the development of Glebe Farm, Cubbington
