Grayrigg is a small community and with the proposed development being at the lower end of the village, a large percentage of the village would have an obstucted view of the surrounding countryside. New access roads will need to be built, but I feel there is no where suitable for this without causing a danger to local children, adults and wildlife. The development would bring more traffic, including wagons and heavy plant to an already dangerous road and so close to the primary school. There are no amenities in this little village, making it one of the reasons why it should be left alone. The majority of the community appriciate the countryside on their doorstep, be able to see the wildlife up close and enjoy the peace and quite that you would expect from this, but, the development would ruin this beautiful way of life.

22 years is too long as the wrong decission could be made in later years.
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

People in a small community should have a final say on anything which could affect their way of living, as any changes will nearly be on their doorstep.
