Testun llawn:
We object to this proposal for several reasons.
1. Flooding in Cubbington affected many houses and streets, this has yet to be fully resolved despite much discussion between residencts, local council, our MP and relevant authorities.
2. The site slopes down toward Offchurch Road, which means this mass of housing will be seen rising away filling the view from the village, the natural landscape quality will not be enhanced.
3. Cubbington Village will lose its rural charachter as it is swamped by this excessive urban development.
4. It will impact on local schooling at all levels, some of which are well oversubscribed.
5. Increase in traffic through the village on Offchurch Road which will be a main site entrance. This and Windmill hill is already busy most days and there have been a number of accidents at the roundabout junction with Cubbington Road. Windmill Hill is not a major road suitable for heavy traffic. Traffic will increase dramiatically on this road as the main road to major routes.
6. Parklands Avenue will be the other entrance, which will again see massive increases in traffic at the junction with Cubbington Road/Telford Avenue and may lead to further congestion/accidents, which is a major junction for many walking/cycling to schools.
7. It will not protect or enhance the Environment.
8. As Leamington is the main provider of shopping and centre for services, Cubbington shops provide for the local rural area and currently can be congested. Such a large development will impact adversly.
9. Cubbington is not one of the rural areas focused for development in the Warwick District plan.
The local plan identifies the five villages of Barford, Bishops Tachbrook, Hampton Magna, Lapworth (Kingswood) and Radford Semele as the most suitable villages within this strategic context to be the focus of any development to meet local needs within the rural areas.
