BASE HEADER

As a resident in Offchurch Road I strongly oppose the proposed development at Glebe Farm for the following reasons:

The thought of having a concrete jungle with up to 3000 dwellings on appals me. I have lived here almost 20 years and thoroughly enjoyed the open views across the fields from my windows, one of the main reasons for buying my property.

I have not been flooded myself but I have been completely surrounded by water which was frightening enough as the water has come within 1/2" of actually coming into the house. So the thought of this development has got to have a huge impact on the pluvial flooding and make it much worse. Another reason also is that fortunately the flooding has generally occurred either in the evenings or at the weekends, at times when we have a cloud burst you sit at work wondering exactly what you are going to be greeted with when you return home. Even getting to your house anyway round the village is a nightmare.

My family enjoy walking the footpaths over the fields to see the wildlife and the views, the peace and quiet which I think we should protect as well as the greenbelt.

Another factor is the traffic, which is getting heavier, faster and more dangerous every week, even without the development. I live not far round the bend as you come down Windmill Hill and sometimes cars come round on two wheels and have a job to control the vehicle due to speed. I can see more accidents happening with more volume and impatience.

We want to protect Cubbington as a village which will be destroyed if this development goes ahead.
