Object to the sports park allocation, site IP150b Land south of Ravenswood. It's not needed, as there are existing facilities nearby at Gainsborough Sports Centre/David Lloyd. We understood the original site was smaller with the remaining land becoming Country Park and buffering the Latitude development. Traffic congestion is a problem in the area and bus services have been cut, so even outstanding planned development at Ravenswood/Futura park will bring traffic to a halt and affect road safety. The design of the Charles Church houses was based on overlooking the country park. The land currently provides a natural haven for skylarks.
