I object to the proposed development of Glebe Farm, Cubbington. If this area were to be developed it would create one enormous urban sprawl, and Cubbington would lose its identity. The chosen site is of heavy clay and would be prone to heavy flooding. Recent history has shown the impracticality of more concrete and tarmac.
Site access such as Parklands Avenue, Rugby Road, Offchurch Road and Windmill Hill are not suitable to support the significant increase in traffic.
What of the environmental impact on the protected species of wildlife, and the well trodden footpaths.

The chosen site is of heavy clay and would be prone to heavy flooding. Recent history has shown the impracticality of more concrete and tarmac, which would have to be used in this area.
Site access such as Parklands Avenue, Rugby Road, Offchurch Road and Windmill Hill are not suitable to support the significant increase in traffic. 10,800 homes could mean over 20,000 more vehicles during rush hour.
What of the environmental impact on the protected species of wildlife, and all the well trodden footpaths.
