To place any development on this side of Swarthmoor and just off the A590 would be disastrous for the village and the community. Its open countryside, with the original suggestions for the surrounding fields it would more than double the size of the village putting hugh pressure on roads, schools, drainage etc.

This is valuable Green Belt Land between Ulverston and Swarthmoor. The Government are keen to see Green Gaps between settlements remain.

This area of land is actually in the boundries of Ulverston West Ward. This area of land will have an effect on the Green Gap between Ulverston and Swarthmoor. At the junction of two very busy roads. It would also look very out of place if developed in isolation,

Totally ridiculous. If developed this would double the size of Swarthmoor. Swarthmoor is a pleasent village and to develop these three areas would put huge pressure on all facilities and infrastructure.

This area is very close to the Historic Swarthmoor Hall, it is a valuable green area for the residents of Ulverston and Swarthmoor. When Quaker Fold was developed some time ago, it was stressed by Ulverston Town Council and the Planning Committee that no further development would take place in this area. Ulverston does not have many historic buildings and to have this Hall surrounded by homes would be a disaster.

(E19#) As Ward Councillor for this area, I STRONGLY OPPOSE any development on this site. It has been suggested that employment and food retail could be put on this site.
I wish to object on the following points (1) This is an important Green Gap area after leaving Ulverston, before entering Swarthmoor, the area is also outside the Development Boundary of Ulverston. (2) The site has no access from the A590 one of the busiest roads in the County. The A590 at this area of the site comes off a busy duel carriageway after coming through the Urban area of Ulverston, at the other end of the site the road narrows because of a row of terrace cottages on one side (known as The Bee Hive Cottages) and a United Utilities Pumping Station on the other side.
Residents of the Furness Peninsular get very frustrated with hold ups on the A590 and often because of this take risks in other areas of the very, very busy road resulting in many accidents and incidents. (3) Setting up food retail (Superstore) on this site will do nothing to promote or support the many unique and individual shops Ulverston has promoted and encouraged over the years. It would be a disaster for the viability and vitality of the Town Centre. I Totally OPPOSE any development of this site.
MN6# I STRONGLY OPPOSE with the same points as in (1) and (2)
No Development what so ever should take place on M11M# a very important part of the Green Gap which allows communities to have their own identity.

As Ward Councillor I made my comments in the first consultation regarding this site and my views have not changed. Stonecross Mansions is a Grade 2 listed building and the area of land surrounding the mansions is an area of important open space and they should remain as such. Oppose any new development without good reason.
