The data gathering and analysis undertaken by the District Council has fully justified the selection of Cubbington as one of the most sustainable villages to accommodate additional housing. As is pointed out in paragraph 5.8 of the current Village Housing Options document, Table 3 attempts to summarise some of the key findings from the technical studies and site evaluation matrix as they relate to individual settlements. In Cubbington, table 3 says that the preferred option(s) focus on minimising landscape impact and regenerating a small corner of the settlement edge, subject to suitable site screening and relocation of the existing allotments.

-Support preferred option 2 at Cubbington. It is agreed with the District Council that the 2 sites should be considered together. Although, as requested separate submissions are made for each option, they are made in identical terms.
-Our agent is seeking to discuss alternative arrangements for the provision of allotments satisfactory to both parties. Land within the ownership of the Charity adjoining the existing allotments could, in principle, be made available. The location would be as equally convenient to the allotment holders as the existing allotments.
