Comments on site s50, St.John's Avenue, Silverdale.
I would like too urge that this site be removed from development plan for the following reasons:
1. There is no strong evidence of any need for further housing in Silverdale.
2. In the light of this absence of need there are strong reasons for not adopting this particular site:
(a) Traffic congestion on adjacent Emesgate Lane and the nearby school entrance would be exacerbated by further development on this site.
(b) Further development would also exacerbate the existing sewerage problems afflicting Silverdale.
(c) The present open character of the village would be adversely effected by the removal for development more of the existing pastureland which is an integral feature of the village.
(d) There is little opportunity for employment in the village and poor public transport to facilitate commuting.
Consequently, in the absence of a serious need for housing and the deleterious effects on the quality of life development would cause, there should be no development on this site.
