Better to have the new development all in one place rather than spread over the whole of the village. Natland does need a car park BUT it should be followed by :-
*double yellow lines around the village green and outside the school to ensure it is used and also
*a well lit pedestrian way to the Village Hall.
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document

The further development of villages like Natland should be avoided for as long as possible and SLDC should be fighting to keep them, not destroy them as they seem bent on doing.
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
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
Communities should be responsible for putting forward sites when the majority view of the community can be taken in to account and not just the views of the Parish Council.
