Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 44761

Received: 22/03/2010

Respondent: Mr & Mrs M Munro

Representation Summary:

Green belt between Lillington and Cubbington must be protected to prevent the unrestricted sprawl of Leamington Spa. Safeguards countryside from encroachment and maintains two distinct communities of Lillington and Cubbington. If not protected village life will be gone forever. Proposed site is prone to serious flooding which would worsen existing village flooding problem. Such a large scale settlement would cause a great deal of pressure on local schools and doctors. Would you please justify why we need so many extra homes in Leamington, Stratford and Warwick district which has already had to absorb major housing development.

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 safeguards the countryside from encroachment and maintains the two distinct communities of Lillington and Cubbington village. If not protected village life as we know it will be gone forever. The proposed site is also prone to serious flooding which would worsen the existing village flooding problem. Such a large scale settlement would cause a great deal of pressure on local schools and doctors. Would you please justify why we need so many extra homes in Leamington, Stratford and Warwick district which has already had to absorb major housing development.
