BASE HEADER

1. This is greenbelt land. There is plenty of brown field sites as long as the council stops allowing supermarkets and offices being built on them.
2. We were asked previously whether there was need of housing for LOCAL people - not all and sundry. 3000 new homes here would more than double the amount of those in Cubbington at present and would link up Lillington to Cubbington.
3. The number of 3000 out of 10,800 new homes needed in the next 16 years is much too high a proportion to be built in one area. Especially as it would create a large urban sprawl.
4. The land has impervious heavy clay subsoil. So many new homes would make drainage of water worse than it is now. Low lying homes in Cubbington could face even more flooding and misery.
5. All extra homes, people's cars would cause horrendous traffic jams at the top of Windmill Hill - right next to the first school. It's a dangerous junction now!
6. A second 'Warwick Gates' would put enormous pressure on local services and amenities.
7. Warwick council should be protecting the environment and the local people. Allowing such a vast housing estate, built by developers for greedy profiteering where housing would be like rabbit warrens with little or no aesthetics, would be a betrayal of the people affected. And, don't forget Cubbington could also be affect by a high speed rail from Birmingham to London, with no benefits to anyone living along its route.
