Oppose

Site RN290 is not a 'new' site - only a small paddock/orchard adjoining Cartmel Road is a new addition to the previously designated R692 north of Templand Park. All the many objections to building a large development on this site, from those who attended meetings and individuals, have been previously documented in consultation. These objections remain, and in addition the loss of the small orchard, to provide access to Cartmel Road would reduce, as has happened in the past, the number of productive fruit trees around the village.

I support a reduction in the timespan if it is a genuine opportunity to ensure that more attention is given to local supply and demand. A reduced timespan and its subsequent reduction in the number of houses projected for that timespan, should allow villages such as Allithwaite to ensure that necessary smaller-scale development occurs. The emphasis should be on local occupancy and social housing needs, maintaining the village structure and atmosphere and with regard to its sustainability as a village community.
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 B - Communities and/or developers bringing forward sites for housing and employment for consideration under relevant Core Strategy policies, through neighbourhood plans and/or other local initiatives

Local plans and initiatives are more likely to ensure that local needs are met in a sustainable manner and with regard to more members of the community provided that relevant local committees have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding of the issues overall and are prepared to make fair decisions that take account of all views.

All of these seem to be small sites that have minimal impact on their surrounds, some follow the linear nature of development while others infil small areas near other relatively new developments. For any site there is need to improve the road and footpath infrastructure around the whole village e.g. use of mini roundabouts, widening roads, providing footpaths to allow ease of access to the church, school and other amenities. In addition, any new properties would need plenty of parking space, plus opportunity to have land/allotments. Obviously there is an economic impact with any new development that is essential for future sustainability.
