I am writing to express my multiple concerns in relation to the proposed housing development on
Sharmans Cross Road. As a home owner of 38 Sharmans Cross Road,
My objections are as follows:-

Firstly may i ask if you are planning to build a new primary school & secondary school, as there has been planning for a large housing estate on the stratford road, where are you planning on putting all the extra children, as the schools in Solihull are already over subscribed, as are the hospitals, dentists,
doctors and colleges, as a mother of two children I am very worried about this.

Flooding
We already experience issues with dreadful flooding on Sharmans Cross Road . The drainage systems are not equipped to cope with additional usage from an additional 67-100 families.

Additional traffic and issues with parking - I am concerned from a safety perspective (my children walking to and from school) and also the increase congestion and gridlock in the morning and evening.

Please Send your traffic control personal to come down and take a look at Sharmans Cross Road between 8 am - 9 am & 3.45-5.30 it is so congested so to add another 67 - 100 houses to an already over populated area seems like madness to me.

What about all the building traffic, the road is already far to dangerous as it is.

Sporting
Facilities - I understand the Rugby pitch has a stipulation which requires the site to be used for sporting purpose. I also understand that there have been multiple enquiries to lease holders to use the site for sport e.g. football training. The holders either do not take the enquiries, or price the site unrealistically, so that it makes it unviable or the use it was intended. This really seems to be an underhanded approach by the holders. I understand with this stipulation that these grounds are inappropriate for inclusion in the LDP, even though multiple attempts for planning permission have been put forward.

My sons play for Local teams and my concern is that grounds for sport will disappear with these plans for building and others in the area.

I am really concerned with these plan, could you please reply to me with your plans for all the above.
