Proposed Housing Allocation 18

I wish to register my objection to the proposed development on the rugby ground in Sharmans Cross Road for the following reasons.

1. Any development on this site will cause a considerable increase in traffic and pollution in an area, which is already highly congested at
peak periods.

2. Access into and out of the site onto Sharmans Cross Road will cause gridlock, especially at the junction with Streetsbrook Road. As
the amount of traffic will have already increased by the development of the old Woolmans Nursery site in Solihull Road.

3. I consider there could be a potential danger to pedestrians, especially unaccompanied school children travelling to Sharmans Cross
School. Parent parking already already causes chaos as this is also a main bus route.

4. This development will undoubtedly put further pressure and already oversubscribed school and medical services.

5. It is understood that previous applications to develop this site have either been refused or withdrawn as this is a designated sports
ground and should not be used for private development.
