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

Storth - Quarry Lane
Please use the box below to make your comments.
I write following the invitation for comment on the proposal that B79, B116 and B117 should be re-considered as extensions to the area proposed for development at Draft Plan stage.

I note that these are all greenfield sites within the AONB. I strongly object to the suggestion that such sites should be considered for development. I believe that the required quota of housing will be met by another nearby site, specifically the site previously occupied by Travis Perkins.

Inclusion and subsequent development would also set an unwanted precedent for development on greenfield sites that should be protected by the fact that they are situated in the AONB in the first place.

It would also be very problematic to develop emergency access to any development via Yans Lane which is already heavily congested with vehicles at all times of day and night an would lead to an unnecessary amount of extra traffic on very narrow roads.
