We feel that the type of housing that is proposed for this area will be too high density and will be out of character with existing properties in this area (individual styles and large gardens)
Flooding may be a potential problem in this area. This field is part of the water catchment area for the Helm. In winter there is almost always surface water visible in this field (suggests significant potential problems and hazard with locating sewage and other underground services).
There will be problems with high levels of noise from the A65 with houses located in this area
It is likely that this development will increase traffic along the already busy A65. Low cost housing is proposed for this site but we feel that this site is located too far from most amenities and work opportunities in Kendal. Therefore, most residents would not be prepared to walk into Kendal and would therefore rely on their cars which will increase traffic.

We feel that the type of housing that is proposed for this area will be too high density and will be out of character with existing properties in this area (individual styles and large gardens). This issue will be exacerbated when combined with the proposed housing on site RN223 on the opposite side of the A65.
There will be problems with high levels of noise from the A65 and the railway with houses located in this area.

Low cost housing is proposed for this site but we feel that this site is located too far from most amenities and work opportunities in Kendal. Therefore, most residents would not be prepared to walk into Kendal and would rely on their cars which will increase traffic.
This development will be highly visible from the Helm and will have a detrimental effect on the views and landscape.
