Please explain your reasons
The market town character of Kendal will be changed for ever if large scale developments on green field sites are allowed to proceed.
For that reason I am opposed to large scale developments around Kendal which use up green field sites. I am however, not opposed in general, to the re-development of brown field sites.
Do you think that your area needs new or improved community facilities? If so, what sort of facilities and where?
Please explain the types of improved and/or new community facilities your community may need in the next 15 years
An option which must be considered is to extend the existing Kendal A591 by-pass from the Plumgarths roundabout to join with the A6 north of Kendal. This will reduce the volume of commercial and private traffic on the A6 southerly approach to Kendal, and the volume of town centre traffic. As a result there would be an improvement in the town centre air quality which at times is currently below recommended standards.
