LDP proposed Housing Allocation Site18
I would like to object to the above for the following reasons:-

1. The development would destroy the character of the neighbourhood. It will be out of scale and character in its appearance compared to existing development in the vicinity.

2. Increased traffic and pollution. Danger to children attending Sharmans Cross school.
The traffic situation is horrendous at school times. Also parking would be a big issue.

If I do not start out to go to work before 7 a.m. to go to Homer Road, my journey can take up to 40 minutes. It should be a 10 minute journey at the most.

3.Flooding- Sharmans Cross Road is already subject to flooding during heavy rain.

4.The loss of yet another sports facility, we have already lost Prospect Lane to developers.

5. Schools and medical centres are already struggling and this development would just add to the pressure that they are already under.

6. Use of land SMBC formally minuted in 2013 its policy about the use of the grounds only for sports and they would not sell the freehold. I would like reaffirming of this policy which implies that this development is inappropriate for inclusion in the LDP. One previous application for this site has been refused and another withdrawn.

Please let's have some common sense and reject this application.
