We fully support the representations previously submitted by HOW Planning on behalf of Rawdon Property seeking an amendment to the proposed allocation of site M11M at West Lodge, Ulverston for employment development. The site is readily available and deliverable for development, and for the reasons set out in previous representations we fully support the release of this site from the Green Gap and we consider the Councils reasons for doing so are appropriate. We agree with the representations submitted by Rawdon Property which state that whilst the site is an entirely appropriate location for new development, without a change to the proposed use for this site it is unlikely to come forward for development in the short to medium term. We agree and fully support the proposal that a mix of uses including employment and a retail foodstore would be best suited to this location given the need for additional food retailing in Ulverston and the absence of a suitable, deliverable site within Ulverston town centre. This would open up the site allowing employment development to be delivered in the short term which would bring new jobs to the local area which are needed and the foodstore itself would provide additional valuable new jobs for Ulverston.

We consider that the previously stated timeframe for the DPO (till 2025) is appropriate and should be maintained.
