I wish to formally oppose the planned development of the site in Sharmans Cross Road
previously used for Rugby and currently for Football and other sports at the Arden Club.

We have far too few green spaces in Solihull allways being greedily eyed by developers
to make a handsome profit and once completed retreat to their more sulubrious properties in the country .
Solihull has a great tradition of excellent housing stock and this must be protected to ensure the borough does not lose its magnetism for those people wanting to move to Solihull with their jobs .

Never should any consideration be given to the "fast buck" philosophy but instead care for that which is worth keeping in perpituity .

The poposed building site will have significant impacts on access and egress from and to it with high risk of accidents in Sharmans Cross road and the environs. Traffic volumes will significantly increase and quiet roads around the area will become congested and potentially dangerous .
Along with congestion on the roads the parking will become a major problem.(Just look at the parking in Woodside Way every day when 20/30 vehicles reduce the road to a single roadway )
A younger population will undoubtedly increase noise pollution and destroy the character of the area .
Finally the drainage in the whole area is already on a knife edge and no doubt the effect of this development will have added complications which the Council will be faced with in issues of flooding .
Please stop now!!
