Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 44624

Received: 09/04/2010

Respondent: Mr and Mrs P Payne

Representation Summary:

Green Belt between Cubbington and Lillington must be protected as village life will vanish. Pressure will arise to extend development to the boundary of Welsh Road. The heavy clay subsoil will cause the site to be prone to flooding. Building on this land would worsen the existing village flooding problem. The proposed site access will cause problems in Offchurch Road and Windmill Hill roundabout as the roads are not suitable for an increase in traffic. Schools and doctors could not cope with the increased population. Wildlife and footpaths will be affected.
