Respondent: Brian Savin
High-density housing of this kind is completely out of keeping with the area and neighbouring properties.
Concern for traffic issues & parking issues that may get worse
Concern for amenities for the community - schooling, doctors surgeries etc.
Loss of sport facilities - And what sports facilities will they use, if yet another one's been taken away?
However, most important of all, the site earmarked for this development is subject to a Covenant stipulating that the land should only be as a sports ground. Oakmoor Ltd (the lessor) have undertaken to honour this covenant
I am writing to object to the plan for up to 100 new homes on Sharmans Cross Road.
High-density housing of this kind is completely out of keeping with the area and neighbouring properties.
Traffic problems come high on my list of concerns. Parking issues and traffic congestion along Sharmans Cross Road are steadily increasing and, whatever the developers may claim, these homes will make the situation far worse.
What about the facilities and amenities needed by the residents on this development? Where will their children go to school, when schools in this area are already oversubscribed? Which doctor will they see, when surgeries are oversubscribed?
And what sports facilities will they use, if yet another one's been taken away?
However, most important of all, the site earmarked for this development is subject to a Covenant stipulating that the land should only be as a sports ground. Oakmoor Ltd (the lessor) have undertaken to honour this covenant. Solihull Council must do likewise and firmly reject all plans for this development.
