Cubbington is currently identified as a Growth Village but with little brownfield sites and has several flood and surface water flood risks. The Cubbington Neighbourhood Plan survey identified that 84% wanted no new housing but if there was any then the development should be assessed on its impact on the whole village and not in isolation. Appropriate development must serve the whole community. Cubbington's population is relatively static, only 5% of those surveyed had family that had moved out because the area was unaffordable – 7% of respondents have relatives who want to move back to the area. The majority of respondents were over 59, have lived in Cubbington over 10 years and were working full time or retired. Cubbington is well served by schools and any housing needs to consider smaller new energy efficient homes to potentially free up larger family homes if residents wish to downsize but remain in the community.
