Objection to the Proposed Play Area Being on Chorleywood Common.

to object to a playground on common ground

Because I feel strongly that this is the fight solution to a probl M that has gone on for far too long

Our beautiful Common is a play area in itself and could be used as such without being defiled by the fruition of these plans.

The best place for the play area is Chorleywood house

A adventure trail around the common would encourage children & parents to discover & enjoy our wonderful common

The Common is not the place for a Play Area

A play area on this ancient common would be out of place - it is an area of quiet amenity value. Play areas sited near to busy roads would be dangerous. Chorleywood House already has many sports facilities and is away from roads.

To protect the rare and special nature of the Common

In my view the Common should be left as Natural as possible so i wish the petition every success

I grew up in chorleywood and hope to move back there soon.
It would be a terrible sin to touch such a wonderful piece of Green Belt

I strongly believe that Chorleywood Common is a playground in its own right and it is not the place for an artificial one.

Because it is vitally important to protect a Local Nature Reserve from encroachment threatening the wildlife and species which depend upon it.

There are two playgrounds within easy access of the area - both have fallen into disuse. I would expect a further play area would suffer the same fate, after having wrecked wildlife and vandalised the natural area of the Common. Rather than spend money on more facilities for small children, why not instead consider creating a venue in the Village for young people between the ages of twelve and sixteen where they could engage in activities and socialise?

Because I feel strongly that the Common is not the right place for play equipment. It is already a giant play area, and enjoys special protection as a Common that should not be breached. If a play area is put on the Common, what special interest group will we hear from next, who want to nibble away another piece?

Because I think Chorleywood Common should be left natural, for children to run free and not to be organised. There are fallen logs for them to climb and jump off. It should be at Chorleywood House.

I have concern about parking congestion on narrow roads and no pavements or proper access with buggies making it dangerous. In particular concerned about site 15 opposite pub due to busy road to station carpark. This is not a good idea.
