Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 7088
Received: 07/03/2019
Respondent: Joyce Rothschild
I understand the council's need to build more housing, but this is a scarce recreational amenity / resource and once it is gone, the impact for the community and the Borough will be greatly diminished.
There is an all party policy on the Rugby Ground maintaining a sports ground only covenant. The freehold should be retained.
Development of the site would affect wildlife and add significant strain on the area due to increased population, which would lead to worsening parking and increased congestion. This is already significant. Access to medical and education services are already stretched.
Re LDP site 245
I am writing as part of your consultation regarding the Old Rugby Group/Arden Tennis Club site. LDP site 245
I understand the council's need to build more housing, but I am concerned that the proposal to build on this particular site is on a scarce recreational amenity / resource and once it is gone, the impact for the community and the Borough will be greatly diminished.
I understand there is also an all party policy on the Rugby Ground maintaining a sports ground only covenant and would urge that this freehold should be retained.
In addition to losing this sports amenity / green wildlife area, the proposed building of houses on this site would also add a significant strain on the area due to the increasing density of the population, which would lead to worsening parking and increased road congestion. This is already significant. I am also concerned regarding access to medical and education resources which are already stretched.
