A developement on the proposed sight would have a detrimental effect to our view. The owner of the view may not be the owner of the land.It would also invade our privacy as the new houses would be level with our bathroom and bedrooms.New access roads would have to be built in an area where there is no suitable access, any attempt to make access would cause a danger to the small children that attend the local school.The extra traffic load,created by any development, on an already dangerous road would only increase the likelyhood of accidents to the existing population of Grayrigg.Grayrigg village has very few street lights, a new development would cause light pollution and could interfere with local wildlife.Bats,a protected species,can often be seen on the proposed sight as well as other wildlife.Grayrigg is a small farming community with no amenities this is one of the reasons why the people that come to live here do so,adding to the village would take away the rights of these people who have chosen to live in a small communinty.Any extention to the village would be totally inappropriate.The village church is a grade 2 listed building and enjoys a great vista,the new development would be clearly visable from the site of the church.
