Representation Summary:

Came to live here as wanted to live in a village! Flooding has occured not long ago; more houses would worsen the threat.
Major issue is danger of amount of extra traffic. Already can be nightmare leaving Cross Lane to join Offcurch Road/Windmill Hill. We walk trainee guide dog puppies and it can be very difficult now crossing. Even now traffic has to negotiate roundabout at junction of Windmill Hill/Rugby Road.
Where is increased surface water going to collect? Cubbington couldn't cope with extra houses.
Water pressure is not good even with existing properties

We object very strongly to the proposed development of Glebe Farm. We came to live in Cross Lane only ten months ago as we wanted to live in a village! We understand from long term residents that flooding has occured not long ago; more houses would make the threat worse.
A major, major issue is the danger of the enormous amount of extra traffic which would make life for pedestrians, school children many aged persons who live in 'Old' Cubbington and existing motorists. Already it can be a nightmare leaving Cross Lane to join Offcurch Road/Windmill Hill. We walk trainee guide dog puppies and it can be very difficult now crossing, even at off peak times. Even now an enormous amount of traffic has to negotiate this roundabout at the junction of Windmill Hill/Rugby Road etc.
Where is all the surface water (which with the tarmac of new roads and footpaths) going to collect? This village of Cubbington could not cope with a large number of extra houses.
The water pressure in old and new Cubbington is not good even with the existing properties
