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
This proposal is even worse than R664M in the original consultation. Bowston is a small hamlet; a development of this size would swamp the existing hamlet. Bowston is already big enough. New houses should be built in Kendal or Burneside, not Bowston.
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
No view
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
I think that it is inappropriate to allocate land in advance for small hamlets such as Bowston. Development should be directed by local needs and local views, within the overall rules for new development.
