Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

The site has a covenant which restricts use to sporting use only. This should be maintained.
The density would be 5 times that of the surrounding area, diminishing its character and distinctiveness.
Parking in the surrounding area would become a nightmare.
There are a number of tree preservation orders in operation.
The Victorian drainage system is already fully stretched, and would, almost certainly, break down completely if forced to cope with an increase in capacity.
The existing medical/educational facilities would be sore pressed to cope with the influx that would result from proposed residential development.
Local Development Plan Site 245
I have no doubt that you will have had many objections to the putative usurping of the 2013 all party policy on the sports ground only covenant on the Rugby Ground. Selling the freehold for residential development would be both ill-advised and short sighted. The following reasons support this contention, viz:
The density would be 5 times that of the surrounding area.
The character and distinctiveness of the surrounding area would be diminished.
Parking in the surrounding area would become a nightmare.
There are a number of tree preservation orders in operation.
The Victorian drainage system is already fully stretched. And would, almost certainly, break down completely if forced to cope with an increase in capacity.
The existing medical/educational facilities would be sore pressed to cope with the influx that would result from proposed residential development.
Please take this email as formal objections to the Plan from myself and my wife.
