LDP-Proposed Housing Allocation 18

As a householder in Dorchester Road I wish to object to the above proposal to build
100 houses on the former BEES Rugby Club site on Sharmans Cross Road on the
following grounds:

* The traffic situation at the junction of Sharmans Cross Road, Streetsbrook Road,
Stonor Park Road and Dorchester Road is already chaotic and dangerous at peak
times, and additional traffic from so many new houses can only make the situation
worse.
In addition school traffic increase in Sharmans Cross Road and surrounding roads
will cause additional danger to school children and parents.

* We have concerns that Schools and health services in the local area will struggle
to accommodate additional residents and the resulting quality of services provided
will deteriorate. I note that Tudor Grange School has already lost its top Ofstead
rating.

* As a former player at the rugby club I wish this facility to be returned to supporting
local area field sporting activities.
