Name: Rena McCarthy on Jul 2, 2010Comments: Light pollution disturbs the natural rhythms of birds, insects and nocturnal animals, according to wildlife historian and naturalist Sir David Attenborough. Some species are affected by unnatural light to such an extent that their lifecycles are completely out of kilter.Flag

Name: Charlotte Mole-Morgan on Jul 3, 2010Comments: I am concerned about this application because I believe the lights would be too close to housing and create light pollution to the neighbouring properties as well as noise pollution from games and parking problems caused by an increase in spectators, amongst other difficulties.Flag

Name: Alan Thomond on Jul 3, 2010Comments: As a long time resident of The Ville I feel that there is no benefit, indeed quite the opposite, to the residents (excluding the Football Club) if these lights were to be given the go-ahead. Only the Football Club will benefit - the rest of us will suffer.Flag

Name: Rachael Magowan on Jul 3, 2010Comments: Having giant floodlights on this green space site would be highly detrimental to local wildlife, especially the nocturnal creatures such as bats and owls which are sensitive to light levels. There are also other animals and birds living in the area which would be driven away by the increased noise pollution from scores of shouting youths and spectators, not to mention the increase in motor vehicles to the surrounding roads. There is also the aesthetic impact of these proposed monstrosities. The Meadows is a much valued retreat for residents and visitors from further afield alike, affording a rare stretch of countryside within an otherwise drab urban environment. For many, myself included, this area is a priceless oasis of calm and tranquility, therefore to allow light pollution and extended facilities for noisy sports would completely ruin the peace and beauty of the place. There is more than adequate provision for football throughout the city, yet woefully little green space locally. Developers are snapping up every tiny bit of grassland and building houses, offices and sporting facilities on them. There is NO NEED for yet more sporting provision here. My husband and I already have to put up with the offensive noise and light pollution from the vast stadium at the end of our road. To escape from it we frequently go down to Chorlton Meadows. To have this last area of unspoiled beauty desecrated by yet more blaring tannoys, bellowing teens and vast ugly invasive lighting would be completely intolerable, and we would therefore contest any move to this end by developers vociferously and resolutely.Flag

Name: Eleonor Burton on Jul 3, 2010Comments: I would like to add my concerns to the many voices which have already expressed concern about the proposed floodlights. Many of the objections that we have made in the past re the floodlights on the meadows hold true for floodlights here, too. ie the effects on the wildlife of the area, including the bats, the effect of increased levels of noise at night - noise travels quite a distance over the meadows, and already matches can be very loud. The proposed development is next to occupied properties, and the club is served by a small access road down a side street by a school, which is not suitable to accomodate the extra traffic that may be ibvolved in extending the club hours in this way.Flag
