Local Development Plan Site 245
I write with regards to the above Development Plan and demand that the 2013 all party policy on the Rugby Ground maintaining the sports ground only covenant and not selling the freehold be honored and retained.

The policy was agreed in the first place because any substantial property development on the site would :

1.Destroy the character and reduce the distinctiveness of the area.

2.Create further parking problems in an area already besieged with traffic issues.

3.Contravene tree preservation orders.

4.Create further drainage/flooding problems in an area of Sharmans Cross which already has severe drainage problems . All to often a heavy downpour results in drains overflowing causing traffic problems and a danger to public health.

5.The density of properties would be in the order of 4/5 times the surrounding area.

6.Result in further pressure of an already strained medical and schooling facilities.

and

7.Potentially harm the future of the Sports Club.
