1. This is a Strategic Open Space - approving this building application would destroy the Council's Planning credibility. The Care Home (if needed at all) should be built on one of the Council's designated building sites.
2. In the most recent Sport England participation study, hockey is played by just 125,000 people, less than 5% of the 2,660,000 people playing football. To remove 3 scarce football pitches and replace with one all-weather hockey pitch (a very different surface not authorised for competitive football) is contrary to logic and all Planning principles.
3. Old Schools Lane with its dangerous blind bend and heavy school children pedestrian traffic is not suitable for additional vehicles.
