Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9282
Received: 20/03/2019
Respondent: Rhys Ponsonby
This is a site which should never have been included in the plan and must remain as a sporting facility.
It has a covenant which restricts its use for sporting purposes only, this should be upheld in accordance with the provisions of the covenant and the 2013 all party policy on the rugby ground.
The lessor should be made to put into effect the conditions of the lease rather than seeking to obstruct local clubs from using the land for sport by imposing extortionate fees to rent or use the facility.
Proposed houses on the site would be totally out of keeping with the surrounding area and cause parking, congestion and drainage problems for the adjacent roads and houses.
Would have a detrimental effect on the mature locality. We need to preserve our green spaces in Solihull, not destroy them.
I am writing to lodge my strong objections to the above site being included in the LDP.
This is a site which should never have been included in the plan and must remain as a sporting facility for use by the people of Solihull.
It has a covenant on the site which restricts its use for sporting purposes only, and I demand that this be upheld by Solihull council in accordance with the provisions of the covenant and the 2013 all party policy on the rugby ground.
The lessor should be made to put into effect the conditions of the lease rather than seeking to obstruct local clubs from using the land for sport by imposing extortionate fees to rent or use the facility.
Apart from anything else the plans to build so many houses on the site would be totally out of keeping with the surrounding area and cause parking, congestion and drainage problems for the adjacent roads and houses.
It is a dense and ridiculous proposal which would have a detrimental effect on the mature locality. We need to preserve our green spaces in Solihull, not destroy them.
This site should be excluded from the LDP.
