We have lived here for 25 years now in a very peaceful area designated on the Cartmel & Furness Plan as an " Area of Great Landscape Value ". The only blot on the landscape to the north east is that of Tronic perched high on a mound raised above the flood plain, lit up like a fairground at night with at this stage & especially at this time of year very poor foliage softening the harshness ( I guess the trees will grow eventually ).

We object on the following grounds :

The development would be over intensive for a rural aspect on the very edge of town.

The development due to the ground level would be raised to high & consequently claustrophobic to existing residents fronting onto Priory Road.

Priory Road is not the safest of roads to drive onto or on. In spring & summer it is very busy & a race track for many even though a 40mph speed limit was introduced. We have first hand experience of how dangerous it is.

To walk along Priory Road as a lot do especially in summer is taking your life in their hands especially at the Cemetary bend. There have been many accidents on this stretch of road between the Bardsea end of the houses & the Cemetery gates. You only have to look at the holes in the wall
( some of which I agree are caused by the foundations giving way ),even so only a couple of weeks ago a huge hole appeared where the latest accident happened.

Priory Road floods in places when the rain is heavy. The fields in front get saturated & due to the rising water table the surface drains can't cope & the water sits in the road which causes accidents & breakdowns. Obviously development of the land, filling the ground with more concrete is just going to push even more water onto Priory Road & make the problem worse.

An Aquaduct with a building exclusion zone of 10.5 mtrs each side runs through the field.
