Local Development Plan Site 245 - Ex Rugby Pitches Sharmans Cross Road


I would like to object to the above proposed development on the following grounds:-

1. As I understand it the land has covenants restricting and thereby protecting the site for sports use, and if this were now to be ignored it undermines the local democratic process. I would very much like the Council to enforce the covenants and actively seek and enable such use.

2. POW GROVE: I am particularly concerned that the mixed broad leaf wood (SINC) known as Pow Grove (Grid Ref. SP136795) and owned by SMBC should be protected from any possible erosion that a housing development threatens. There is also a right of way from Welcombe Grove through the wood and I am concerned about how this would be managed?
