The proposed development of alternative site 3 Glebe Farm Cubbington would mean a total loss of identity for the people of Cubbington as the proposed housing would merge the village into the unrestricted sprawl of the Leamington conurbation. We believe that the green belt between Lilllington and Cubbington must be protected to safeguard the countryside from encroachment and maintain the two distinct communities of Lillington and Cubbington.
The very real fears of flooding will be significantly increased due to the additional run off of rainwater caused by the loss of green land. The impervious heavy clay subsoil causes the site to be prone to flooding, so building on this land would only worsen the existing problem. If this development should be approved the potential for flooding could be for worse than the disaster which hit Cubbington three years ago.
Traffic implications of the scheme are horrendous and will have a truly massive impact on local congestion, in particular at the roundabout at the top of Windmill Hill/Rugby Road, where many accidents already occur. This area is really not suitable to support the significant increase in traffic from the thousands more houses travelling to and from the village at 'rush hour' morning and evening and will cause a great deal of disruption to all Cubbington residents.
The environmental impact of such a huge development on wildlife, as the old fields and well used footpaths disappear, is a real concern as is the great deal of extra pressure that would be placed on local schools and doctors if such a large scale settlement was to take place.
We believe that if the area is not protected the quality of life for the people who live in Cubbington will disappear forever and ask you therefore to refuse the proposed development of Glebe Farm Cubbington
