Representation Summary:

To destroy a well established golf course in Scraptoft in order to accommodate a large housing development and then re-create another golf course elsewhere seems to be somewhat illogical and unnecessary, The scale of such an undertaking will cause immense disruption to the Scraptoft area and to the neighbouring Leicester City residents. The Leicester City Council itself, who own the land on which part of the Golf course is situated, also, needs to consider the feasibility of this proposal and the impact it will have on the local community and the loss of a recreational facility.
