Testun llawn:
Land to the west of Cubbington Heath / Hill Farm
I would like to express my views that I believe this site to be inappropriate for the following reasons ...
1. The depot entrance / highway access is on the brow of a hill on a relatively fast road, the risk to travellers & their families regularly entering / exiting the site represents a risk to both them and other road users.
2. Combined with the potential HS2 disruption in the local area this is another development that does not fit into the local surroundings on the edge of green belt.
3. North Leamington School and local juniors & infant schools have pressure on numbers already and class sizes are too large together with other local amenities & services.
4. No local industry exists and therefore pressure will increase on the already congested road network, only making the situation worse.
5. These sites historically attract other social & nuisance problems, the impact on local property prices and neighbourhoods is both an issue and unwelcome.
6. The recent review of the local plan rejected further residential development in a 'green belt' area of North Leamington & Cubbington
7. The enlargement of existing sites would seem to be a more sustainable plan rather than numerous smaller and more likely costlier to maintain
8. The protection of existing council land ie. playing fields from being occupied by travellers seems a growing problem, I question if these sites will change this situation?
