Representation ID: 7744

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Ian & Janet Thomas

Representation Summary:

It's a sports field and we are short of sport's facilities in Solihull. With increasing obesity in young and old people in the area we should be encouraging sport not decreasing it.
The proposed density of housing is not in keeping with the locality.
Additional development would have an adverse effect on the local Schools and GP Surgeries.
Traffic and parking is an issue in this area, increasing vehicle numbers would be detrimental to the environment in Solihull.

Objection to Local Development Plan site 245
I wish to object to the inclusion of site 245 in the Local Development Plan on the following grounds.

1. It's a sports field and we are short of sport's facilities in Solihull. With increasing obesity in young and old people in the area we should be encouraging sport not decreasing it.
2.The proposed density of housing is not in keeping with the locality.
3. We are already struggling with pressures on schools and medical facilities in the area, this level of development would have an adverse effect on the local Schools and GP Surgeries.
4. Traffic and parking is an issue in this area, increasing vehicle numbers would be detrimental to the environment in Solihull.

We hope you will take the above into consideration and remove site 245 from the Local Development and return the fields to a well used sports facility it used to be.
