LDP-Proposed Housing Allocation 18

The above proposal for housing development on the Arden Tennis Club in Sharmans Cross Road is subject to various problems--not only for local residents but the public who use this road.

Already SCR is subject to severe traffic congestion at rush hour
morning and evening. Vehicles exiting or entering the new
proposed site will cause chaos, particularly those turning across a busy road and Bus Route to go to Solihull.

The road where it meets Streetsbrook Road is subject to heavy flooding and has been for our years. Our houses and gardens in Winterbourne Road are subjected to flooding as the land falls from the Tennis Club area towards our property. A housing development of the nature proposed will add to this.

Parking in this area has to be strictly monitored and will be worse if extra vehicles both from the Tennis Club and new housing
cars use the road. At present Winterbourne and Beaminster
roads have to be controlled between 9am--11am and2pm--3pm as workers in Solihull used to park all day . Four cars would arrive, park and four people would proceed to Solihull in one car, the others left all day.

Side roads off S C R already suffer from this congested parking every day.

Surely sports facilities like the Rugby Club ground should be preserved for Solihull. A few years ago, the same developer was refused permission to develop this area as Solihull Council
decreed that it be used for sport only. What has changed?

We the local residents and rate payers will continue to oppose the proposed development.
