Proposed Housing Allocation Site No 18
Sharman's Cross Road Rugby Ground

I am utterly amazed that the above sports ground is again been considered for housing development.

This issue was considered by the council in 2013. Its findings were that this land should remain for sporting purposes and the council affirmed this policy and they would not sell the freehold of this site or lift the covenants and that this land to be used only for sporting purposes.

Since 2013 no effort as far as I can tell have been made by the owners of the land to attract or use this ground for any sporting purpose. From hearsay, efforts have be made by various people to have use of the ground, but their requests have been ignored.

I respectfully request that the council make efforts for this land to be removed from The Local Development Plan. I believe this will be the only way that sporting activities will return to this ground.
