Most of these alternative sites were in the original proposal which were discarded in favour of sites on the periphery of the village, these I believe would have met the given targets.
It seems as though we are now going down the way of urban sprawl and turning Allithwaite into a domitory town, taking all the green spaces out of the village. The infrastuture within the village could not take the amount of buildings that are now being proposed, most of which will go to second homes, destroying the village even more.
The area suggested which is bordered by Vicarage Lane and Green Lane is the only green area within this part of the village. The land does not drain rainfall fully when rain has been heavy and this seeps into Green Lane alongside the field. Should this be removed to provide multiple houses which will have hard standing and pathways the drainage problem would inevitably be increased.
In addition to this there will be the increase in vehicles which will add to the already increased traffic travelling along Green Lane, which has grown greatly in the last 10 years when houses have changed ownership and there are two/three car ownerships now to many properties. Green Lane is already suffering from not only increased traffic from householders but also Home Delivery vehicles and commercial vehicles.

By reducing your time span, you are losing the opportunity to review at appropriate stages the possibility to make amendments where required to your plans to suit the needs of the area.
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

If left to local communities and developers plans are not formatted for the benefit of the area only for the greed of the developers and land owners.
