I strongly object to the sale of and housing development of the site at Rowood Drive Ref A6 on the following grounds:

I have recently had planning permission and developed my extension (at 34 Bramcote Drive) that overlooks this field, this extension cost me over £250,000. The only reason I did this was because it overlooks the field and I have double doors and a balcony so I am able to watch my children playing in the field.

There are a significantly reducing number of green areas for children to play in, to walk dogs and it has been sad to see that the council stopped mowing the grass to stop local community football teams using the site to help children develop and increase health and well-being. I see this as a deliberate attempt to present the false argument that it is no longer in use!

My property will be in negative equity as it will decrease significantly in value, I feel that if this proposal goes through I will have been mislead to invest in this area.
