1.This is productive agricutural land which should continue in flood protection. People increasingly prefer locally produced food and we should strive to reduce food miles.
2. We need to prevent open countryside being nibbled away by urban sprawl. This land is criss crossed by public rights of way which are well used by public rights of way which are well used by local people as green open recreational spaces.
3. Unrestircted sprawl of the town should be prevented.
4. Open countryside should be safeguard from encroachment.
5. Lillington and Cubbington are distinct communities, neither wish to be merged.
6. Urban regeneration should be encouraged and derelict land should be identified and recycled for housing. Town centre brownfield sites whilst initially more expensive to develop mean reduced car journeys for work, leisure, essential services as people are able to walk. Less traffic, less pollution, less congestion.
7. Flooding already a big problem in Cubbington
8. Traffic on Rubgy road is nose to tail at rush hour. Winmill hill is already dangerous with cars parked outside St. Teresas School.
9. Mini Roundabout at Rugby Road/ Kenilworth Road/ Windmil Hill Many cose Shaves/ Minor accidents-more traffic would be impossible on this busy crossing.
10. Even if this were to be designated as 'last resort' building land only to be used when every other bit of brownfield /derelict/;contaminated land had been used. It would give the signal that building on greenbelt lamd is acceptable: it is not, Its a precious resource which people value and once lost it wont be retrieved.
11. Developers want cheap, attractive building land to maximise profit.
12. Government policy demanding housing development sites may change considerably in years to come. Having once designated greenbelt land for development this would be hard to rescind despite changed policy on numbers.
