The surrounding roads already struggle to cope with the volume of traffic at peak times. An increase of current levels would be particularly dangerous especially with the close proximity of 2 infant schools. There are also a large number of elderly residents living near to the proposed site which would present another danger with an increase in traffic.

Cubbington village has experienced severe flooding issues in the past few years (several homes uninhabitable for extended periods), building on the farm land adjacent to the village would only make these matters worse due to the increase in run-off water.

The area has a very diverse collection of wildlife inhabiting (including several badgers setts which would be destroyed by the development). Muntac deer have also been spotted on the land. Surely further destruction of their habitat should be forbidden.

Cubbington is an historic village dating back to at least the 14th Century, the likes of which should be preserved and allowed to maintain its individuality rather than have it blend in to the central conurbation of Leamington Spa.

The plans mention the use of the cul-de-sacs off Parklands Avenue as access points to the development. These roads are not suitable for any increase in the volume of traffic nor could they handle vehicles larger than the average family car.

The land is good agricultural soil, which is used for the production of food. It would be wrong to see that land developed when there are perfectly good brownfield sites currently providing no meaningful purpose. The use of good farmland (when the world could in the near future be facing a major food shortage with exploding population levels) for housing when brownfield sites are gathering dust is immoral.

The plans make no mention of building a school, where are the large number of children who would inevitably be residing in the development be educated? The nearest 2 schools (Telford and Cubbington) certainly don't have the spare capacity to take them on.
