Please explain your reasons
• There are already major traffic problems in the area as can be seen on any day of the week along both Shap Road and Appleby Road. Appleby Rd is already very dangerous for pedestrians due to Queen Katherine school parking issues and the extra traffic these proposed developments will create will increase the danger to the hundreds of children who walk along Appleby Road and Shap Road each day.
• Historically the area is prone to serious flooding as it is on the first hill the prevailing wind hits as they follow the natural wind funnel up the Kent Estuary; any further housing will increase pressure on the Sandy Bottoms flood defences.
• A similar plan was previously rejected at independent enquiry
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
No. The area is already over-used. In the last 15 years there has been massive (over)development in NE Kendal.
