Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7518

Received: 10/03/2019

Respondent: Rosemary Rowley

Representation Summary:

Traffic congestion and noise would be considerable and it would alter the feel of the area. The devastation to trees and wildlife also should be considered. The 'green' is what makes Solihull so special. The tennis club is a valuable asset to us the residents and the Rugby Ground should be used to its full potential. I demand that the 2013 all party policy on the Rugby Ground be maintained and that the freehold should not be sold or covenants lifted. The council has a duty to consider the wishes of its residents before the profits of developers.

Old Rugby Ground Proposal
I am writing to register my opposition to the development of this site. I am dismayed at the continual rebuilding of homes in this area and the thought of a new development is beyond contemplation. The traffic congestion and noise would be considerable, but more than that, it would alter the feel of the area: an area that we have bought into and paid taxes to upkeep. The devastation to trees and wildlife also should be considered. The 'green' is what makes Solihull so special. The tennis club is a valuable asset to us the residents and the Rugby Ground should be used to its full potential. I demand that the 2013 all party policy on the Rugby Ground be maintained and that the freehold should not be sold or covenants lifted. The council has a duty to consider the wishes of its residents before the profits of developers.
