LPD Proposed Housing Allocation 18

I wish to place on record my objection to the proposed redevelopment of the Rugby Ground on Sharman's Cross Road. My reasons are:

1. The loss of a leisure amenity at a time of when facilities of this kind are in decline. It would be lost forever. The greater the population with more leisure time, the greater the need.
2. Increased traffic on the road which serves a nearby Junior School. The junction with Streetsbrook Road is highly dangerous with current usage.
3. The proposal ignores the pressure placed on the intake at the school which would need to expand losing some of the play areas.

I therefore do not thing this is a good idea.
