Please explain your reasons
Proposed development of site between Helsington Laithes and Lumley Road completely unacceptable for the following reasons.
1)Traffic congestion on Milnthorpe Road, already horrendous at peak times, will become impossible, resulting in traffic back-up and pollution all the way from the A591 to the centre of Kendal.
2)Destruction of beautiful approach to Kendal and rural atmosphere, thus changing the aesthetic nature of this area.
3)Sharp drop in value of houses in Lumley Road.
4)Unsuitability of sloping site compared to flatter areas of Kendal.
5)Existing empty sites should be developed first.
6)Development of E4M will further exacerbate this situation.
7)For all these reasons plans for M41KM should be dropped immediately.
My wife and I strongly oppose the ruination of this beautiful area of South Kendal.
