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
1. Flood liability due to low lying nature. This area has been frequently flooded in the near past. There is also the concern that a housing estate would disturb runoff and/or the ability of the ground to absorb water thus increasing the chances of flooding offsite.
2. The access roads via Tebay and Alpine lane are totally inadequate to the task of supporting volumes of traffic represented by both construction and end use.
3. The proposal impacts on a a geological SSSI
4. The proposal impacts on a RAMSAR site and inland nesting sites for rare birds
5. Recreationally activities in the area would be curtailed. The paths across the area are presently in use by Ulverston residents
6. Danger represented by the nearby closed dump with ground water seepage on the boundary of the site. This has occurred in the past.
7 The site is not within the Ulverston development boundary
8 Geo-technical issues due to the presence of ancient iron works.
9 The character of the view from both the Hode and Morecombe bay may be adversely effected[amongst various locations].

hasty planning applications such as this represent an inability to plan for the long term. It would also allow propsals to pass because concerns were not renewed
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 A - Allocating sites for houses and employment in the Land Allocations document
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
option B is meaningless. It is a charter for relatively powerful interest groups to manipulate the planning process by recruiting agents from within the community which is likely to cause a great deal of harm.
