In the original consultations, Site RN150, which is part of the proposed RN256, was not considered suitable for development and the reasons given then remain valid. Little evidence has been provided of the need for significant housing development in Natland and there is a serious risk of overdevelopment of the village. There are already traffic and parking problems. Further housing development on the scale available on this proposed site would increase congestion and the risk to pedestrians (There are narrow roads and no walkways in the village centre.).
The suggestion, by the proposer of RN256, that a car park could be incorporated (Site ON51) does accord with an identified need. However, the proposed access near the village hall is not suitable for two-way traffic and it is unlikely that this site would be used by many of the people currently parking inappropriately in the centre of the village.
