I have written on several previous occasions regarding the importance of these sites and as I understand those views will still be considered for this consultation I will not repeat my views. However, I do wish to point out one additional fact.
The reason these 3 sites have been proposed is not for the benefit of the development of the town but purely to serve the proposers' interests. The proposers for sites RN154 and R100, living on Sedbergh Road and Castle Green Lane, will both be affected by the proposed development of the land at R121M. Therefore, I believe they are only proposing alternative sites, that the Council has already considered and dismissed in the previous consultation period, in the hope that the Council will change their minds on site R121M. I strongly feel that the Council's previous designation as Amenity Open Space (AS97) should remain for these two sites.
The proposer for site R17, again previously consulted on and designated as Public Open Space (PS206)is acting on behalf of the landowner who clearly wishes to squeeze houses onto this small site for financial gain, disregarding the importance of the site for the residents who use it. Again I would strongly urge the Council to keep the previous designation and protect these allotments, and this important green space.
Thank you for your time considering my response.

With Government policy constantly changing, and already changed since SLDC started this process, the shorter time frame the better to allow the council to respond to these changes, and not build unnecessary houses that are no longer required by Government targets.
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 this is the best way for larger communities, I don't see any difference for smaller communities.
