Re: LDP - Proposed Housing Allocation 18.
I write to oppose the above scheme as I do not think it suitable for the neighbourhood. Losing the rugby ground means even more green, open space will disappear locally. This is on top of losing the sports field on Prospect Lane, the playing fields of Sharmans Cross Girls School, the playing fields of Sharmans Cross Boys School, all to housing. Despite the tendency to build more homes in what were people's gardens, there is still a leafy, suburban feel to the area. You never know what you have lost until it has gone.
I also oppose the scheme because it will overload the local infrastructure. Another 100 homes means another 100 to 200 motorcars adding traffic to already congested roads
