Object to housing Site 18 as member of Arden club as will increase pollution and traffic with Sharmans Cross Road already gridlocked during peak times, compromise safety associated with adjacent school and football ground, decrease light and privacy to tennis club potentially impacting on TPO and wildlife, reduce parking available for tennis club, and result in loss of club identity with incorporation of community facilities within club land.
LDP - Proposed House Allocation 18
As a member of Solihull Arden Tennis Club (SAC), I am objecting to this LDP proposal for the following reasons:
Pollution/Traffic
* Sharman's Cross Road is already gridlocked during peak times, therefore, additional housing/cars would only exacerbate this problem. The adjacent school and football ground would also be affected and safety standards compromised.
* The proposal for 2/3 storey houses would decrease light and privacy to SAC members and residents, as well as concerns with regards to the preservation order on the beautiful trees and local wildlife.
* The LDP would also reduce 75 car parking spaces belonging to the SAC which is unacceptable.
* As I learnt at the recent Residents' Meeting, it is also proposed to incorporate community facilities within the SAC which I also object to as this would lose the SAC identity as a private members club.
In conclusion, I sincerely hope that the LDP will be rejected as it has been twice before.
