I wish to object to the proposed development of Glebe Farm, Cubbington, as I believe that the green belt between Lillington and Cubbington must be protected to prevent the unrestricted sprawl of the large built up area of Leamington Spa. It is important to safeguard the countryside from encroachment and maintain the two distinct communities of Lillington and Cubbington village.
Cubbington has suffered disastrous flooding in recent years and this is an issue that has still not been properly resolved. The very real fear of flooding can only be significantly increased if the proposed building of thousands of new homes on impervious heavy clay subsoil takes place due to the additional run off of rainwater caused by the loss of green land. This would only worsen the existing village flooding problem.
Such a large scale settlement would, of course, put a great deal of pressure on local schools and doctors, which will have a detrimental effect on the people who live in the village and have a massive impact on wildlife as old fields and well used footpaths disappear, If not protected, village life as we know it will be gone forever.
A further worry is the horrendous implications this proposed scheme will have on traffic for the local area, in particular at the roundabout at the top of Windmill Hill where many accidents have already occured. I believe this area is not at all suitable to support the extra traffic that will be generated around the village during 'rush hour' both morning and evening should this development go ahead.
I hope you will take into consideration the above very real concerns and objections and reject the proposed developmnet of alternative site 3 Glebe Farm, Cubbington
