Silverdale - part of S50
Please use the box below to make your comments.
1. Parking is already a big problem for vehicles exiting into Emesgate Lane. There are always vehicles parked at the entrance into St Johns avenue making the turn from Emesgate Lane very hazardous, vehicles also park opposite the junction making the manouver even more difficult. This is particularly bad when parents are collecting their children from school.
2.Wildlife is always seen in the area including Partridge, Deer, Hedgehogs numerous bird species including rarities, so it is important the area is preserved.
3.A public footpath runs up the side of the field and is used by numerous holiday people as well as local residents who come to enjoy the open views fro the area.
4.The doctors surgery is only open four mornings a week and a further influx of people will only put more pressure on the service. Patients already face an appointment waiting time of at least two weeks.
5. Silverdale has no mains drainage and uses septic tanks, the field is very wet at times, where is the excess water going to go and more importantly effluent drainage from the septic tanks.
6. This development would set a precedent for further development of the field.
7. Does Silverdale need more houses? Recent low cost housing developments failed to secure enough local interest & had to be filled by advertising nationally. Recent new builds of large detached houses do not blend well with the character of the village.
8. Local employment is extremely limited, public transport is also poor & the bus service likely to be lost.
