Responses to Arnside & Silverdale AONB DPD - Pre-publication Consultation

Silverdale - part of S50
Please use the box below to make your comments.
We would like to object strongly to the proposal to build houses on site S50 St. John's Avenue, Silverdale. It is vitally important for our AONB that no building should take place on green field sites and this site could not be any greener!
There is little or no demand for low cost housing in Silverdale, recent new builds and vacant properties in this category have struggled to attract local residents.
Of major concern would be the significant increase in traffic levels at the junction of St. John's Avenue and Emesgate Lane, particularly in school term time, seriously compromising safety. The junction is already often blocked by parked cars at school drop off and pick up times.
Other important concerns are sewerage (no main drainage in Silverdale), lack of local employment, poor public transport any the effects on wildlife.
