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
I have commented on previous occasions about the landscape importance of many of these sites to Kendal and how their development would undermine the visual amenity and be to the detriment of the town - a larger area on the elevated eastern fringe of the town is now being proposed and my concerns now apply to an even greater extent, please see my previous comments.
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
Support

Circumstances change, the current economic climate, and lack of new employment opportunities in the Kendal area do not warrant allocation of land 15 years hence.
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
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
Option A will give some certainty, but both may be appropriate depending on the circumstances.
