Local Plan Cubbington Page 42, Chapter 5 - Objections to Options 1 and 2
Consultation period - There have been serious issues with communication (or should I say lack of) as most residents were unaware of this until 12 January 2014.
The views of the Parish Council may not reflect those of the Residents.
The allotments are part of the landscape and a major factor in keeping the open nature of the village and maintaining the vitality of the community.
A previous WDC survey concluded that the allotments were not suitable for development due to the impact on the landscape/greenbelt/recreational aspects.
Nothing has changed on the allotments. What makes it suitable now?
Re-establishment of the allotments, even if the ground is prepared, will take years, especially for mature trees and plants. The general ambience will never return.
The survey also concluded that the area to the north of Cubbington was not suitable due to high landscape and green belt value.
Again, what makes it suitable now?
The proposed development is excessive due to the already identified (housing survey) need for just six local homes!
Recycling of 'brown field' land is a preferred option. Options 1 and 2 are not 'brown field' land. It is 'Green belt'.
Further pressure will be put on the (already oversubscribed) local schools.
Increased traffic flow along Coventry Road and Rugby Road.
Options 3 and 4 were discounted due to insufficient vehicle access/landscape impact - roads would be built on the development so access could be improved there. Options 1 and 2 also have a landscape impact.
The sewerage from the pumping station in Coventry Road has discharged into my garden on a number of occasions and found its way down to the ditch and allotments. We have also had flooding in the house.
For the residents of Coventry Road, and others, this area of Cubbington is quiet and peaceful with lovely views of the landscape and has been this way for over 80 years! This was a main factor in purchasing our home.
The development would have an adverse effect on this area of Cubbington, with reduced 'greenery' (landscape), noise, disturbance, air pollution, light
pollution, increase in traffic.
-2-
It is often difficult to enter my drive without holding up the traffic, most residents of Coventry Road reverse onto their drives as it is safer than trying to reverse off due to the bend in the road.
My home would be overlooked, my privacy gone.
The development would block my views of the landscape.
I would be overshadowed so unable to enjoy the late evening sun/sunset.
This is apart from the fact that it is 'GREEN BELT' land.
'Green Belt' land is precious. When it's gone, it's gone forever.
Please remember we are also 'Under threat' from HS2!!!!!!!
