Re Site Reference Number: A24
We as Landlord would strongly oppose to any development on Station Field, Arnside. Our objections are as follows:-
Our building comprises of 32 privately owned residential retirement flats immediately next to the proposed site for development. Any buildings would have a huge impact on the residents particularly if houses were to be built close to our boundary wall which runs along the entire side of the field. Residents on this side of the building would have their privacy invaded and noise levels would certainly be an issue, with the ground floor flats loosing considerable light.
Restricted access due to the entry from the main road only (Ashleigh Road is privately owned and could not be considered for public use). This would mean less parking on an already busy road and spaces would be reduced due to access into a new development.
Flooding: Station Field has a high level of flooding all year round therefore to consider any type of housing would be quite out of the question.
Station Field is in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and any dramatic changes such as the suggestions been made would have a devastating effect on the landscape. The Salt Pans which were at the top of the field have already been severely damaged due to previous temporary works that were carried out in the field.
Re site Reference Number: A22
We oppose the development of parking along the front of the field as it is constantly under water and again, too close to our boundary wall. Noise levels would be a huge issue to anyone living on this side of Ashleigh Court.
