A590 corridor and M6 Junction 36
Site reference number (e.g., RN298#)
EN56#; E56#; E57#; EN18#; E58#; M7#.
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
Preston Patrick Parish Council has consistently over many years opposed large scale development in the vicinity of Junction 36, a visually important area considered to be "The Gateway to the Lakes". The sites referred to above are variations of sites put forward at the earlier stage of the Land Allocations process and the Parish Council maintains its total opposition to any of them being developed.
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
Support
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
In view of the current economic situation and the changes proposed by Government to the current planning system, the reduction in the time span proposed would appear appropriate.
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
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
Option B will better allow for the identified needs of a particular settlement to be met and will ensure that development is of an appropriate scale.
