Cool Stopping floodlights in rural village...please help!

I live in a small rural village outside Warwick, called Claverdon. We have no street lights, excellent for amateur astromoners like my father and for anyone wanting to stargaze like myself (rather rare in the Midlands it seems). However, there are plans afoot for the local tennis court to erect 6.7meter tall floodlights. Help us in our campaign to stop this!
....light pollution is a major concern.....
....the area is a conservation area....
....the tennis courts are grossly underused in the daytime anyway........
....owls and bats maybe disturbed.....
....the lighting posts themselves will be an eyesore for anyone visiting the village and will inflict upon the scenery....

To me this is highly alarming so any advice/ help would be extremely helpful in our campaign.....
