Sharmans Cross Rugby Football/Sports Ground
The above ground consists of sports facilities for various activities and my understanding is that several covenants were agreed on the last sale of the site for the purpose of retaining the ground as a sports facility. Despite this, some years ago an application was made to take over the site for housing. Following objections from very many residents of Solihull the application was not pursued and the ground continues to be used for its proper purposes as guaranteed by the various covenants.

It now appears that a new application for housing has been submitted to the Planning Department. May I urge you, please, to ensure that this application is refused? My feeling is that, because of the existing agreements and covenants any change in use of the site would be illegal and it is certainly totally unsuitable for housing.

I look forward to hearing that the new application will not be allowed to proceed.
