Settlement (e.g., Natland)
Levens
Site reference number (e.g., RN298#)
RN282
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
Totally unsuitable location for housing
Sloping field site with drainage problems as RN291
Lacking any safe and adequate access - NE end of site on sharp blind bend of steep single track lane.
Certainly no Public Utility services to the site
Would spread sprawl of existing village - Levens is not a suitable village with its minumum infrastructures for any large scale development. Infilling, yes, small developments also but not estates.
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document

These two sites have better access to the roadsystem than the sites to the NE of the village.
Access lanes would still require improvement,lighting and pedestrian paths. Public Utilities could probably be more easily supplied. Both locations would extend the village "envelope" but not destroy the ambience of the existing village,
BUT, anything other than small developments would be too great for existing facilities and infrastructure and being on the edge of the village most open to view from the A590 would impact detrimentally and could lead to further growth in the future thus leading to the impression of Levens as a housing estate rather than a village.
