Please explain your reasons
My wife and I strongly object to the building of new houses on site R684SW in Swarthmoor. The traffic on the A590 is already extremely busy especially at the beginning and ending of the working day and the extra traffic from these new houses will only add to the conjestion. We live on Ulverston Road and have seen many accidents due to all the heavy traffic.

The few amenities we do have in Swarthmoor are on the opposite side of the A590 e.g. the Pub, the playground, football club, chapel and reading rooms. It would surely make more sense to build on that side of the A590 so avoiding having to cross a very busy road to use these facilities. Just trying to cross the road can take 10 mins. at peak times.

The field where the proposed houses will be built is used all year round for both sheep and hay timing. Why spoil a beautiful view for the residents. If this plan goes ahead it will totally block any view whatsoever.

The amount of houses proposed for Swarthmoor and Cross-a-Moor is totally excessive. There are very few jobs around this area so who is going to buy them. Are they going to be built and then remain empty for years.
