Responses to Arnside & Silverdale AONB DPD - Pre-publication Consultation
Response from Mr Mike Coyle (Individual)

Storth - Quarry Lane
Please use the box below to make your comments.
With reference to the consultation plans concerning Storth

There are a few concerns re the plan:

1 Access
The proposed new access to Park Road involves shutting off Quarry Lane, which is an important route for vehicles (including emergency) at high tides. The proposed access through the adjacent field for emergency vehicles, which will lead into a narrow single track lane with no footpaths, would require creating a new access for vehicles onto Yans Lane. Also the proposed new access to Park Road will reduce the Ship Inn's car park, which does get very busy at weekends particularly

2 Drainage
There are already issues in the village, particularly the lack of mains drainage close to the proposed site, with surface water drainage from the roads discharging from the roads into fields.

3 Commercial Developments
There is and has been for some time unused plots within the proposed area as well as
at the ear of Booths, so why create more? Suggest change the proposed commercial plots in Quarry Lane to housing development.

4 Public Transport
Creating new homes may also exacerbate the shortage of public transport
