Respondent: Cubbington Parish Council

Representation Summary:

I believe in the currrent economic climate the growth forecasts are over estimated and a more cautious approach to development should be considered. Brown field sites and ensuring existing housing within the town is fully occupied should be the first step, only when this supply has been proven to be exhausted should expansion into green belt land be considered? This would also ensure the existing infrastructure is optimised before reinforcing existing or building new.
