Representation ID: 7153

Received: 08/03/2019

Respondent: Robert Blond

Representation Summary:

I demand' that the 2013 all party policy on the Rugby Ground on maintaining the sports ground only covenant and not selling the freehold be retained.

The proposed plans would damage the future of the tennis/squash club, at a time when we should be encouraging sport

The old rugby club would be an ideal football pitch if allowed, making sport easier and not relocating to out of the way places encouraging car-based travel.

If development went ahead it would also damage the mature oaks and other trees and go against your tree preservation orders.

Regarding the Local Development Plan Site 245.

I demand' that the 2013 all party policy on the Rugby Ground on maintaining the sports ground only covenant and not selling the freehold be retained.

The proposed plans would damage the future of the tennis/squash club at a time when we should be encouraging sport, especially for the young!

The old rugby ground would an ideal and much needed pitch also for football if permitted. Lets make playing sport easier and accessible and not relocating to out of the way places which encourages cars.

I am sure if development went ahead it would also damage the mature oaks and other trees and go against your tree preservation orders.
