Arnside - Hollins Lane A8/A9
Please use the box below to make your comments.
We wish to express our opposition to the proposal to develop the meadow to the North and West of Hollins Lane.
Of all the sites proposed in Arnside and surrounding areas, The Hollins Lane plot by far is the most unsuitable.
Hollins lane is an extremely narrow lane with pinch points, and few passing places. The road has blind bends and there are no footpaths and very few street lights, all made worse by very poor road maintenance.
Any development would result in an inevitable increase in traffic which would endanger pedestrians ,cyclists and other road users.
The surface water on Hollins Lane is currently a problem , resulting in a river running down it's length in moderate to heavy rainfall.
We feel the proposed development of 14 houses would have a detrimental impact on all the properties that face the field and in particular those that back onto the field, resulting in a loss of views and privacy and more worrying the potential increased risk to security and unlawful access to properties.
We conclude by saying that we believe the A8/A9 site is unsuitable/unviable, and in our opinion would make a dangerous lane more so.
