Somerfield is at Risk of losing our Character Homes & Green spaces!

Julie Tobbell from Somerfield Residents Association

We welcome anyone to join us for our First SRA Meeting for 2017! Our SRA Committee looks forward to great progress this year with a variety of concerns / projects which commenced in 2016.

However Most importantly:
Our main Agenda item is regarding half of Somerfield being zoned as a RSDTZ (Residential Suburban Density Transitional Zone (enabling high density units to possibly replace our character homes?) & the other half of Somerfield remains as RSZ (Residential Suburban Zone).
Please come and find out more about how your home may be affected & sign the Studholme Street Petition to prevent a 4 x two storey unit being built at number 23 Studholme Street. However if the developers are unable to build there - they may very easily decide to build in the next street over! Therefore SRA & our Spreydon - Cashmere Community Board or MPs may be able to assist us with having the zones reinvestigated & hopefully changed all to RSZ.
Join us for a tea / coffee / OJ & snack after!
At Somerfield Community Centre, 47 Studholme Street, Somerfield
Time: 7.30pm.
Due to the size of the Back room and unknown number of people attending - room could be limited??
Warm regards
Julie Tobbell.
SRA Chairperson.
