I strongly object to the proposals for the development of land at Glebe Farm on the following grounds:
1: In recent years there has been considerable flooding arising from the heavy clay soil, not only in the centre of the village but also in parts of New Cubbington and other areas. Some of the problem has arisen from householders paving or tarmacing over their gardens to accommodate the increasing number of cars owned. Building a further 2000 plus houses on the proposed site would exacerbate the problem.

2: Quite obviously Cubbington is not sited in an industrial area and the siting of the development here would lead to a substantial increase in commuter traffic. It is plain that existing roads would struggle to cope particularly at peak times. The increase in pollution levels is not acceptable. I would make more sense to build in an area where people in employment can walk to work or on convenient public transport. Such sites already exist just outside Coventry at the old Peugeot Works at Dunchurch and the virtually defunct airport at Baginton - Both brown field sites. It is sensible to consider siting housing as near to existing businesses/ manufacturing conurbations as possible and certainly not in rural surroundings.

3: This urban sprawl would have a devastating impact on the environment. There is an abundance of wildlife and a number of badger sets on the land which would disappear along with footpaths which have been used for leisure of the People of Cubbington for a long time. The destruction of existing village life would inevitable follow with, I believe, disastrous results for many.
