We object to any development on the following grounds
The access onto the roads will cause much more traffic congestion which is already very heavy
The drainage into the village is also very worrying particularly with regard to the flooding the village has suffered over recent years.
There have been a number of very serious accidents at the top of Windmill Hill, this could become very much worse because of the volume of traffic
The wildlife conservation including skylarks could be lost
Cubbington is essentially a village and should not become joined to Lillington

I think village life should be protected and it would be a big mistake to link Lillington with Cubbington

Flooding: all the land on the proposed site slopes towards the village, we already have a flooding problem
Work: no work in the immediate area therefore the residents would have to commute, possibly through the town adding to the congestion at peak times
Parking: already a shortage of parking at the shops in the village
Loss of village life. We do not want to be a suburb of Leamington Spa

My first objection against the housing project is the Badger hill they will destroy plus all the other wildlife. Next is the public footpaths which I thought were protected by law. What is the point if someone can over ride these, also is the traffic and noise it is going to create, please don't take any more green fields. We soon will run out if any one can apply and get permission. We should respect our green fields not destroy them and also we have very little if any firms left in Leamington so people moving in have a distance to travel to their works.
I object strongly to this move also the two schools won't be able to cope. Look what happened at Warwick Gates they took all Whitnash places and caused a lot of problems

If this development is allowed it would result in the loss of the green belt between Lillington and Cubbington and result in unrestricted sprawl of the built up area of Leamington such a large scale development will increase traffic and put a great deal of pressure on local facilities. The council should stick to their preferred options and decline any submission from speculators. Local planning should meet local peoples needs

I am concerned that we have another proposal which will remove open space. I am also concerned regarding the impact of the proposal on the existing infrastructure in Cubbington and the potential adverse effect on flooding in the future in the village. I have concerns regarding impact on local schools and services. We do not want another Warwick Gates with developers maximising on density of habitation to the detriment of quality of life for future residents and for existing residents

Loss of green belt land and objection to becoming joined to Lillington.

It is a green belt area and I don't feel the extra houses are needed.
The village is already susceptible to flooding. Our street was flooded in 2007 resulting in a large number of residents having to be re-housed for a long period of time.
I use the footpaths regularly for walking my dog
Traffic is already a problem at the top of Windmill Hill during rush hour. this increased traffic would cause huge delays and disruption

Loss of green areas
Excessive traffic congestion
Greater threat of flooding

I strongly object because we should protect and keep our village community. The countryside a short walk away, grew up with very little criminal activity and a lot less than in a town environment. There will be no countryside, natural habitat etc. for our next generation. On top of all that, flooding is a large concern to village residents and this could make it a lot worse.
We do not want Cubbington to become a town or Leamington a city

Could well increase or worsen the problems of flooding in Cubbington village. Already inadequate water or sewerage disposal facilities.
Traffic at the roundabout at the top of Windmill Hill will be increased at a junction that is already congested at busy times, such as early mornings and evenings. More accidents sure to happen. More pressure on local services and doctors.
Local roads could not cope with the significant increase in traffic produced by a large housing development. There would be chaos at various times of the day

This project will destroy all that Cubbington stands for. It's a village and proud of that.
Over the years I have watched Leamington destroy landmarks, its history and many things we have loved. Yes houses are needed for future but where you put them is a bit problem. Cubbinton heritage must be protected and you must listen to the people who live here and voted for you to listen to us. So leave Cubbington and your proposal out of any plans you have. We do not support your development

My objection to the proposed Glebe Farm site can be summed up in one short phrase: 'Save Cubbington for the Future'.
I have lived here for a mere 45 years - Cubbington has been here for about 1000 years. Why destroy it now?
Cubbington will be on the edge of a large urban sprawl - from Tachbrook via Leamington and from West Warwick on the other side. The speakers at the public meeting on 17th March said we had to look at the broader view:
It is obvious that if the present possible development goes ahead. our village life, one rich in community spirit, will be lost. I know all about community spirit. At the time of the 2007 flood, I was on holday and returned to a flooded uninhabitable bungalow (I was afterwards in temporary accommodation for 9 months), however, at the moment of the flood, my neighbour, who has a key, managed to come and get some of the water out and rescued some of my personal belongings. They did this even though their own homw, like mine, was completely wrecked. Upon my return they came into my home with me as they didn't want me to enter my wrecked home on my own.
I don't want to live anywhere but this village, where community spirit is still 'alive and kicking' i.e. the OAP Ass'n, Cubbington Club, WI, Scouts and Guides, a fully booked village hall - and not forgetting 2 pubs. I feel all these will fade if we become just a dormitory of Leamington.
The green belt land between Cubbington and Lillington must remain green for the benefit of residents and wildlife alike.
The land to the south of Thwaites should stay green because of possible flooding - because of the 'bowl' situation of the village, the run off of water from the surrounding heights will increase the danger if the area is covered in concrete and tarmac. The clay subsoil anyway makes this prone to flooding.
The proposed new road outlets on to Offchurch Road would be accident black spots immediately. Offchurch Road is already a rat race for part of each day. The bridge over the river (nearer Offchurch) and also the road through Offchurch village cannot withstand greater volume of traffic. Flooding is again always a problem in wet weather, coming from Cubbington.
I think also that if these 'Glebe' proposals were given the go ahead the sewers system in the Ladycroft, Price Road, New Street area would probably need updating.
Also there would be pressure on local schools - transporting pupils (and more of them) would create a problem - adding to already congested roads.
Has full consideration been given to possibly using sites at Coventry 'airport' and the old Peugeot site for further development

It is crazy and outrageous to create one huge conurbation of Lillington and the village of Cubbington which already has its own problems of flooding.
I consider it unacceptable to consider this green belt site when there are other non- green belt sites available for housing in WDC area
Traffic congestion in the Cubbington and lillington area is already very heavy at peak times and these roads were never expected to carry current volumes of trafic, never mind the obvious increase which the Glebe Farm development would create.
I would urge the council to reject the Glebe Farm development

We object very strongly to the proposed development of Glebe Farm. We came to live in Cross Lane only ten months ago as we wanted to live in a village! We understand from long term residents that flooding has occured not long ago; more houses would make the threat worse.
A major, major issue is the danger of the enormous amount of extra traffic which would make life for pedestrians, school children many aged persons who live in 'Old' Cubbington and existing motorists. Already it can be a nightmare leaving Cross Lane to join Offcurch Road/Windmill Hill. We walk trainee guide dog puppies and it can be very difficult now crossing, even at off peak times. Even now an enormous amount of traffic has to negotiate this roundabout at the junction of Windmill Hill/Rugby Road etc.
Where is all the surface water (which with the tarmac of new roads and footpaths) going to collect? This village of Cubbington could not cope with a large number of extra houses.
The water pressure in old and new Cubbington is not good even with the existing properties

Concerns:
Extra traffic
Higher flood risk
Loss of identity for Cubbington and Leamington
Loss of green environment
Threat to wildlife/insects/birds

This is a flawed scheme. Cubbington village is busy as it is. the increased traffic will ruin our village status. The sewerage system is inadequate. We have had flooding several times in recent years,. In New Street when pupils arriving and leaving school, the traffic and parking is horrendous and the police do nothing. If this scheme goes ahead it will be worse and more dangerous.
Offchurch Road which is already a busy road will become more dangerous as will Welsh Road.
The schools would not be able to cope with the increased number of pupils this scheme would bring.
This idea is stupid to say the least and would spoil a nice village. Nothing has been done to alleviate flooding situation

I think this is wrong. Cubbington will no longer be a village. What happened to the green belt? This site is all green belt and should not be built on.
Traffic on Rugby Road will be increased

It will create over-burden of roads and communication. It will create and exacerbate drainage problems over a wide area

Would worsen flooding problems in Cubbington and cause pressure on local services

Devastation to flora and fauna plus loss of important agricultural land
Cul-de-sacs off Parkland Avenue not constructed for regular and heavy traffic - more accidents with traffic congestion
Development of housing estate will cause more flooding for Cubbington etc.
An increase of population will add strain to existing Lillington and Cubbington schools and doctors surgery

The green belt between Lillington and Cubbington must be protected to prevent the unrestricted sprawl of the large built up area of Leamington Spa. It safeguards the countryside from encroachment and maintains the two distinct communities of Lillington and Cubbington village. If not protected village life as we know it will be gone forever. The proposed site is also prone to serious flooding which would worsen the existing village flooding problem. Such a large scale settlement would cause a great deal of pressure on local schools and doctors. Would you please justify why we need so many extra homes in Leamington, Stratford and Warwick district which has already had to absorb major housing development.

The development of the proposed site would create much congestion on the roads around 'Parklands' and the proximity to Cubbington village would not benefit the village. There are existing drainage problems which would only be exacerbated by further development

I object to this development. It is too big and too imosition for the area. Where will the extra sewage go, where will the run off water go. The roads areound will not take the rush hour traffic. With the anouncement of the high speed rail link, I think this area has enough to worry about

I refer to the WDC document on Cubbington Conservation Area whihc states 'Conservation areas are a fragile environment which can soon be destroyed by unsympathetic changes. The village of Cubbington has been selected as a place with special characteristics worthy of designation as a part of our local and national heritage. It is important to preserve them both as a historical and social record, together with a pleasant environmetn to be enjoyed by those who live in them and for the enjoyment of others'
The green belt land between Cubbington and Lillington should be protected as Cubbington village and Lillington are two separate communities. Preference should be given to non-designated green belt sites for development. The proposed development would cause devastation to the local wildlife.
The access roads off Parklands Avenue are unsuitable for the huge increase in traffic. Congestion would become unbearable and there have already been many collisions at the junction of Telford Avenue, Cubbington Road and Parklands Avenue. This would only increase if the development goes ahead.
THe heavy clay soils would increase the problems of flooding which Cubbington village and properties in Oakridge Road, Cubbington Road and Parklands Avenue have already experienced, causing great distress to the residents.
All the major food retailers are situated at the south of the town and Leamington would become more congesteed as people travel to the supermarkets putting additional pressure on the towns bridges.
For the reasons above, I strongly believe that the Glebe Farm site should not be considered for development

Flooding in Cubbington village would become worse if these houses were built
Roads, schools, doctors would be put under much greater pressure. Roads are already very busy, especially at peak times
The green belt between Cubbington and Lillington must be protected for the sake of the welll being of the present residents, wildlife would be decimated in this very beautiful area

It would increase the chance of flooding. Cubbington village is a nice place to live. Changes would destroy it as a village.
Building 100's of extra houses would destroy the value of our houses

The green belt between Lillington and Cubbington must be protected to prevent the unrestricted sprawl of the large built up area of Leamington Spa. If not protected, village life as we know it will be gone forever. Such a large scale development would cause a great deal of pressure on local schools and doctors

Cubbington does not have the capacity to accommodate the increase in traffic or cope with parking in the shopping area.
It does not have the infrastrucutre to cope with the volume of traffic needing access to the main roads. The small roundabout at the top of Windmill Hill already has a high accident rate. An increase in traffic will increase this rate and will also create difficulty for pedestrians wishing to cross the roads and children attending St Teresa's school.
The area is already prone to flooding and the scale of housing proposed will increase this risk.
Cubbington will no longer be a village if this scale of housing goes ahead.
It would dwarf our green belt, reduce wildlife, and take away our access to public walks and the countryside

Development would very likely cause severe traffic congestion at peak times - progress into town in the morning is already very slow
The building of houses on this site would destroy the rural aspect of the area
on a more personal note, we prefer to live near the countryside, if we wanted to live in the middle of town, we would have bought a house there
