I strongly oppose the proposed development of the green gap(green field) site especially the new suggestion for retail use/superstore.This is an important green gap that separates Swarthmoor and Ulverston and is ouside the planning boundary for Ulverston.

We are already over catered for by huge 24 hour superstores in this area which have closed many Barrow town centre shops and now it seems our local market town Ulverston is to go the same way.There would be a significant loss of employment and only a few low paid jobs made.

The A590, in this section especially, is at saturation with severe congestion, multiple accidents (fatalities)and narrow collision spots.It is madness to add to this with more ribbon development.

I urge you to stop any development on this site and preserve this unique market town.

Option A - Allocating sites for houses and employment in the Land Allocations document
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
think it's fairer to go out to proper consultation and not for individuals to suggest sites just to make money.
