Q6 The absolute number, rather than the proportion, should be specified. See answer to Q2 above.
Q7 Yes, if possible. This will encourage the local economy. See answers to Q2 and Q6.
Q9 Yes, there should be a policy. There is little need for agriculture and forestry workers in AONB. This could be solved by restrictions to use by ‘agricultural workers’.
Q11 Yes. The density should be high for starter and affordable homes.
Q13 The area is suited to clusters of ‘high tec’ internet based firms which have little impact on the landscape.
Q14 All the quoted types of energy have severe impacts to the AONB and should be discouraged in AONB and its environs.
Q15 There should be a presumption against major new infrastructure.
Q16 More parking is needed near recreational nodes such as Yealnd Storrs, Yealand Conyers village, Jenny Brown’s, Sandside promenade, Beetham village and particularly Heron Theatre. Some of these could be soft engineered for use only at peak times.
Q17 The DPD should uphold the Las positions.
Q19 No
Q21 Uphold the present policies.
Q22 A policy should be developed to map, and protect from development exposed limestone pavement and rock faces.
Q24 There should be a ‘local list’ and the very restricted historic landscape survey should be widened to include older features such as enclosures and historic routes.
Q25 There should be an AONB design guide for new build, extensions and the protection of existing structures.
