I would like to express my objection to the development of green field sites in Yealand Redmayne. Firstly, Yealand is within an area of outstanding natural beauty, it is also a popular area for walkers and tourists. New builds would spoil the village and surrounding countryside. There are brown field sites available for development locally e.g Milnthorpe and Sandside - locations of previous industry. There are also buildings which are empty and dilapidated, why can't these be developed? Have we not lost enough of our green field sites already?
Secondly, the access to the village and surrounding area is by narrow country roads. Each new build is likely to have at least 2 cars. Eight acre running into nineteen acre lane is already a busy road with traffic accessing the Yealands as well as Silverdale and Arnside. Increasing the population in this area is likely to make the roads more dangerous to road users, including horse riders, cyclists, pedestrians as well as car drivers. Traffic also increases during the tourist season.
