Q26: Option 2
Q27: It is essential that plans contribute to the vitality of the town centre, and reflect the Kendal Masterplan with a holistic view. Canal Head should be seen as part of the town centre (not edge of centre) and it is important that it remains as employment land, and not given over to retail.
Q28. Strong design principles, retaining employment land (where appropriate) but also maximising opportunities for town centre living (above the shops, edge of town centre etc) to help maintain a vibrant town centre.

65. We would like to see local parking standards adopted with a flexible approach as we are supportive of initiatives which encourage town centre living to ensure a vibrant town centre.
The protection and provision of town centre parking is vital with a focus on cheaper, long stay options on the outskirts of town for local employees etc to ensure central spaces are available for shoppers and visitors who will impact the local economy.

The national standards in this area is already rigorous and additional local policies or burdens could encourage businesses to choose other local authority areas. We want to encourage businesses to come to the area. Local policies could be beneficial if they don’t impose more stringent measures and their impacts are carefully considered.
