I have been a resident of Warton Village for the past 50 years. I am appalled by the proposed development of greenfield sites in this village. Further building in Warton could only have an extremely detrimental effect on what is a lovely village in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The village has a narrow winding main street which already struggles to cope with existing traffic. Also, any further building on the Crag side of the village would increase the danger of flooding on the lower side of the village. There is already a serious risk of flooding! The road through the village has been flooded in the past week and the fields have become an extensive lake. The fact that it is an AONB area should be enough in itself to preclude any further building! Yours sincerely Patricia Wilkinson
