This development will put additional preasure on the already busy routes down the cubbington road to Leamington Spa where all the shops and facilities are. As a resident of Warren close where at peak times it is already difficult to exit on to the roundabout in rush hours. This will become impossible as the new developments increase traffic. It is unclear what plans are in place to mitigate this. This site is unsuitable for the proposed development.

There are insufficient facilities to accommodate a large number of houses and people to the north of the town, with retail areas concentrated in the south. Traffic congestion is already problematic, and adding approximately 1,000 cars would worsen it. I question whether North Leamington School can take in several hundred more pupils, especially given the existing teacher shortages. Additionally, maintaining some countryside between us and Kenilworth is crucial for air quality, as the expansion of both towns risks them joining together.

I don't believe that the East of Lillington Group should be considered for inclusion within the SWLP because I fear that if this was approved for housing, this could lead to an erosion of green spaces, which is so vital for people to live healthier lives, reducing pressures on the health service. Therefore, I believe that the East of Lillington Group should not be included as it would lead to the erosion of green spaces and it may not be connected to the rest of Leamington and Warwick therefore increasing the reliance of a car rather than incentivising active travel.

Housing here would lead to heavy traffic issues upon the Cubbington road in Lillington as well North Leamington. Additional traffic that would occur trying to move south of Leamington to access major retail and supermarkets. Those large supermarkets Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons etc. are already heavily burdened, and there is no such provision to the north of the town. The bus services are also poor in this area. With the opening of the Valley Road Surgery in Lillington we have only just got to a point where the existing population is able to access appointments when we call in.

I reject this plan. This poses big problems for this area. We are a small village and we already have the impact of the expansion of Thwaites. Our roads are just too small for such an increase in traffic. These new plan are going to make this even worse. There's also a high risk of flooding due to the sloping landscape and the existence of natural springs just exacerbates this risk. Of course, people need housing but this is not the way to do it. Better planning is needed to I reject this plan until better planning is in evidence.

Community / Character / financial Impact – existing peaceful, semi-rural character is highly valued – people’s quality of life / property values will be detrimentally impacted.
Infrastructure impact – schools, shops, roads, utilities, drainage etc would need significant investment for such a large increase in local population. Traffic impact and pressure on roads between north and south of town due to geographic split of employment / shopping concentrations.
Green belt / wildlife / food production impact – land use is established for agriculture (food production) with a diverse range of wildlife depending on it for their habitat and food source.

This area is a poor choice for further development as it is a high quality piece of green belt that gives Old Milverton and North Leamington access to green spaces and is likely to be poorly connected to the train station and M40 corridor. Placing housing here will likely put more pressure on the existing routes through the town centre which cannot be expanded to accommodate further congestion. There are no supermarkets in this area and many people will drive to the retail park to access ammenities and employment.

Newbold Comyn is an exceptional space which provides access to the countryside and vast expanses of farm land within walking distance of Leamington Spa's town centre.
This is now the last such space in Leamington, which means it should be preserved.
Traffic in the area of Leicester Street would worsen considerably due to the boundary created by the Leam valley.
Other areas around Leamington seem more suitable for development.

Leamington Spa is an historic town with character. Sadly we see in the middle of Victorian houses some pretty horrible modern buildings made back in the 70s which just break the characters left by your ancestors.... The council has made plenty of rules for individuals to obey when their own property is in a protecting area and here you are planning to have modern houses built close to a natural area, Newbold, which allows taxpayers to walk in a quiet area with no building or no roadworks (plenty at the moment...). Can't you get houses further away like Cubbington etc...?

Destruction of this stretch of greenbelt will destroy the individual identify of Cubbington Village, making it just another suburb of Leamington Spa.
Development will increase flood risk to the whole valley below the development.
The existing roads are not adequate to service the additional houses.
There is no adequate provision for additional education or health facilities that this scale of development will need.

The sustainability plan shows housing needs can be met easily without resorting to destroying our greenbelt. Our greenbelt is not sustainable for housing as it is half an hour's walk to the town centre. The greenbelt is a natural haven for wildlife and plantlife; we need to preserve these rare native species for posterity. People walk the footpaths in thousands each week--locals and tourists. It is a spot of scenic beauty and part of our local heritage. Do not destroy this beautiful refuge for nature. It is unlawful to build on greenbelt land when housing needs can be met elsewhere.

I agree with the overall approach and methodology.
I would like to comment on SG05 the East of Lillington Group. The ground has significant slope to the land and water often pools at the bottom of the fields particularly neat Thwaites. If a large number of home were build then much of the already struggling soakaway properties of this area would be lost and flooding along Welsh Road is very likely. In addition the development of this area would link Cubbington to the Lillington/Leamington area. The village would loose much of its current character.

The area is allready a busy hub for the village, and for all the traffic travelling through from the Fosse Way.
There are better suited areas within 5 miles of Cubbington that do not infridge on Green Belt.
2 Schools are full to capacity - there is no room for these houses and no infrastructure to cope with the additional demands

This is called East of Lillington Group but all it is an additional burden on the village of Cubbington. The village doesnt have the capacity or infrastructure to cope with this - it will end up as a rat run between Cubbington and Lillington to avoid the congestion on the Rugby Road and Windmill Hill
The extra traffic will be joined by all the traffic that comes from the Fosse Way through Offchurch and the heavy transpoters heading to Thwaits

The ?2009 proposal for development was rejected, why another?
Water would run downhill off a new development into lower-lying areas of Cubbington, marked on your interactive map as flooding and surface run off areas. There are many natural springs locally.
This green belt farmland needs preserving for food-growing, as wildlife habitat and for recreation and access to nature on the footpaths for both Lillington and Cubbington communities. It naturally separates Lillington and Cubbington and needs to remain rural.
Significant new infrastructure would needed.
Brownfield and non-green belt areas should be used and do exist in the area.

RE- SG05
This area is very undulating, prone to flooding in various areas.
Thwaites Ltd have put in flood defences already due to this issue. Walsh road and the surrounding roads will become more of a rat run.
Access is an issue. Traffic, Schools, Doctors and other amenities are all south of Leamington. Increasing in congestion and air pollution.
Cubbington will no longer be a village, but a suburb of Leamington.
This area is also outstanding in natural beauty and wildlife which yet again will be destroyed.

I am extremely concerned about the plan for new housing and do not support the proposal to build on site SG05 for numerous reasons (attached) including, the proposed review of the Green Belt and removal of the proposed designation of ‘Wildbelt’ (to protect land for conservation). The local traffic and infrastructure impact, the destruction of precious wildlife (including resident badgers (a protected species) and foxes) habitat and environmental impact. The impact to local community from the scale of the proposed housing. It exceeds likely needs and will have significant negative impact to the quality and character of the local area.
