There has been no consultation with local residents with regard to the increase in planned housing.
Cubbington historically suffers from flooding due to run off water. There have been two major schemes which have attempted to deal with the problem. Notably, the scheme where work was completed in Cubbington Primary School in 2001, failed to address the flooding in 2007. The latest scheme, completed in 2015 on Mill Lane, has yet to be tested.
It has been suggested that the covering of land that acts as a natural soak away can contribute to further surface water and increase a flooding risk.
