I strongly object to the current planning proposal under consideration for the above site.
I have objected at every stage will continue to do so.
This land MUST be retained for sporting purposes as outlined in the current lease with Oakmoor Estates Ltd.
In my opinion it is not a site suitable for a residential housing development of between 67 and 100 homes.
The area will become so densely populated which is completely out of character with the surrounding area. This will have a direct impact on the character of the area.
Building houses on this site will also cause major problems from a drainage & flooding viewpoint. Sharmans Cross Road is already suffering badly in this area due to the Victorian drains.
We also do not have the capacity for the increased parking issues the building of new homes would create.
Is there also a suitable infrastructure in place to cope with increased demand for school places ? Medical facilities will need to be increased too.is there capacity here too ?
I am currently a member of the Arden Tennis Club. Surely residential homes could damage its future as a longstanding Sporting facility ?
We need to retain this site for sporting purposes only. We need to encourage & facilitate any sporting groups the ability to use such a site as it had been historically.
At present it is an overgrown eyesore that has been left to decay. It is very quickly becoming a site for anti social behaviour & this must stop !
I am actively saying NO to a residential development.
