LDP - Proposed Housing Allocation - 18

I strongly OBJECT to the proposals to build 100 properties on the Rugby Club Grounds in Sharmans Cross Road.

This is overdevelopment will take away much needed sports and recreational facilities, destroy natural habitats and be detrimental to all of the residents in the surrounding areas.

The additional traffic will be immense and cause mayhem to an already out of hand traffic problem particularly at Peak Periods.
As a regular user of Streetsbrook Road and Sharmans Cross Road I can assure you that the junction between the two roads is already GRIDLOCKED for at least three hours a day. Any additional traffic will make a serious situation worse and create additional safety problems.

Overburdened Local amenities will struggle to cope with an influx of such a large number of families
