In general the selected sites in Cubbington make sense BUT the mini-roundabout at Rugby Road/Windmill Hill junction is already grossly overloaded. Consequently improved road access is essential.

There are few employment prospects in Cubbington therefore it follows that any new people that move into the area will require employment in Leamington environs. There appears to be sufficient residents at present to support services, facilities and businesses in Cubbington. Due consideration should be taken on the children between 0-15 for schools and the number of residents over 75. From the figures in the demographic of household headlines and key housing issues there appears to be no requirements for additional housing. If Leamington Spa or Warwick require additional residents, housing issues should addressed elsewhere.

Sites 3 and 4:
-Are mostly previously developed land.
-Are well screened.
-Would be a natural continuation of adjacent development.
-Will have little impact on residential amenity through loss of privacy.
-If too low a number is proposed then their long-term viability could be compromised.
-Good access- no accidents in the local vicinity in the latest five year period; the existing private driveway could be utilised; access to the south is good- it is unlikely cars will be exceeding 30mph; Although there are trees in the visibility splay at the northern end, they do not obstruct the required visibility splays.

-I am realistic regarding the national need for more housing and how that trickles down to the Local Plan but going about it democratically and ensuring that sites are chosen with the least environmental/adverse effect is crucial. Neither of these points has been adhered to regarding the current Cubbington Village Housing Option.

-Support preferred option 2 at Cubbington. It is agreed with the District Council that the 2 sites should be considered together. Although, as requested separate submissions are made for each option, they are made in identical terms.
-Our agent is seeking to discuss alternative arrangements for the provision of allotments satisfactory to both parties. Land within the ownership of the Charity adjoining the existing allotments could, in principle, be made available. The location would be as equally convenient to the allotment holders as the existing allotments.

-Site 5 has been discounted for development due to its alleged poor access and elevation. Land around Site 5 does not appear to have been considered either in the Village Housing Options report or properly in the SHLAA. Object to these exclusions and request that land around Bungalow Farm be allocated for development in the Village Housing Options paper.
-Land was considered in the 2012 SHLAA which concluded it was unsuitable for development as it would 'lack cohesion' with the existing settlements.
-Revised submission showing the correct boundary submitted during the 2012 Preferred Option but was not considered.

-In Cubbington, WDC have failed to assess one parcel of land which was promoted for development. That land being adjacent to Site 5:
-It is not open and highly visible in the Green Belt.
-Development could occur without coalescence between Cubbington and Lillington
-It is not of high ecological value.
-The land can be appropriately developed without harm to the wider landscape.

-As concluded by a survey carried out by WDC, the area to the north of Cubbington was not suitable due to high landscape and green belt value.
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!!!!!!!
