Please indicate below whether you support, support in part or oppose the suggestion that this site be included in the Land Allocations document.
Oppose

RN315# is a ridiculous proposal that seems to be an attempt by the main landowner to rescue a failed attempt to dispose of all the land between the A590 and Pennington Lane and presumably use the proceeds to fund a move elsewhere.
The development of RN109M would seriously affect the viability of the farm without providing sufficient funds to dispose of the farm but, if RN315# were to be added then the balance shifts in favour of disposal.
In my view, if this proposal is rejected RN109M will not be developed on its own because it will wreck the farm.
Other options have been proposed, some of which are already in the ownership of a highly regarded local builder and these should be pursued rather than provide a foothold for the Carlisle based Story Homes in the south of the county.
There has been no support for any development to the west of the A590 other than by the landowners and their associates. It’s time to listen to the views of the existing community!
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
Oppose

The demand for housing in this area is questionable and development should not be rushed.
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
