Please indicate below whether you support, support in part or oppose the suggestion that this site be included in the Land Allocations document.
Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
This site was not chosen by the SLDC in their land development proposals and the reasons that led to its exclusion are still valid i.e coalescence with Oxenholme, loss of agricultural land, the worsening of existing traffic problems, visual impact on environment etc. We should adhere to the principle that new development in Natland should continue to be infill, and not further extend the village boundaries which, when added to previous developments, would destroy the concept of Natland as a village. As Natland has no industry, residents normally work in Kendal. Surely it would be more sensible to develop approved sites in Kendal and see how demand for houses is being met, before building on sensitive green field sites such as the one in this proposal.

A reduction in the time span will reduce the number of approved sites and enable us to ascertain eatlier the progress made in resolving housing demand thus testing the validity of the development plan proposals.
Please indicate which of the options for the future housing and employment land needs of small villages, hamlets and open countryside you would support.
Option A - Allocating sites for houses and employment in the Land Allocations document

Providing Government guidelines do not enable developers to add to the agreed sites in The Land Allocations Document.
