I refer to my previous submissions objecting to the proposed change of use of site R121M and wish to confirm those objections in this response.
RN302 appears to be equally inappropriate for all of the reasons previously stated – the significant increase in flood risk, destruction of a valuable and highly visible area of the local landscape, an inappropriate extension of the Kendal town boundary, destruction of a valuable habitat for protected wildlife, to name but a few. RN302 would extend even further up the hill and so would increase the size and prominence of this development further, thereby compounding the problems relating to R121M, and I oppose this proposal.
Designation of ON50 as a public open space has also been proposed, subject to RN302 and R121M being approved. The land covered by ON50 is a delightful area populated by protected wildlife and it would be criminal if a change of use of this land was ever contemplated. ON50 therefore appears to be a cynical ploy by potential developers designed to encourage acceptance of R121M and RN302 without actually giving anything away. It would be a much more appropriate and far-sighted decision by SLDC if they were to designate all of these areas (ON50, RN302, R121M and R56) as a public open space, for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.
