Former garages and therefore brownfield site, well screened on two sides with good access. Ideal site for 100% affordable dwellings.

In our view the shorter timescale would be desirable (2003-2020). This would enable the council to:
i) review the position of land allocation; ii) review the demand fluctuations for housing; and iii) react to changing government edicts and in general create a ‘fit for purpose’ system to meet ever changing needs, both of the public and government.

i) This land is on a flood plain and should not be built upon. It is also an attractive area as viewed from the heavily used footpaths across the river Kent
ii) The proposal would bring industrialisation to the door-step of the river Kent which is acknowledged through Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) to protect the white-clawed Crayfish. The area is abundant with wild life, with otters known to be in the reaches and Kingfishers are regularly seen.
iii) Screening of the site would be difficult and the building would be prominent from the Kentrigg housing area, which is within the KWAG representation area.
iv) The development of this area would further increase traffic on Shap Road and lead to further Junction Congestion in the Longpool area adding to an already over air polluted street scene.

For the same reasons given for the previous consultation for site R489 (which RN304# is part of).
These are sewage problems (raw sewage on roads during/after heavy rain); this field floods after heavy rain; The extra traffic through Burneside would increase the danger to pedestrians, in particuler children. Also add to the already unacceptable junction congestion in Kendal which is not currently meeting EU law.
