Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
The proposed development of over 100 houses on the green fields between Cark and Flookburgh should not be permitted due to:
THE ACCESS POINT ON STATION ROAD - This is on a very sharp bend and the addition of a through road on this corner would be extremely dangerous! The access to Cark train station is just beyond this bend. There are no pavement on one side of the bend and a very very narrow pavement on the other. Increased traffic flow will cause more DANGER, CONJESTION and DISRUPTION!
THE ACCESS POINT ON MARKET STREET - Adjacent to a sharp, narrow bend leading onto Winder Lane. This is the route many children take to their local School - pavements along this route are very narrow, especially on the corner of Market street and winder Lane. Increased traffic flow on this corner will cause more DANGER, CONJESTION and DISRUPTION!
VILLAGE IDENTITY - The proposed site is the area of land which seperates the villages of Cark and Flookburgh. Developemt on this site will merge the very different villages into one.
LOW EMPLOYMENT - Very little employment in this area.
SECOND HOMES - Due to lack of employment in this area locals are being priced out of the market. There are already a huge number of second homes and in my opinion this number will increase if this development is permitted.
