I consider any large scale development in Levens to be inappropriate given that there are no local jobs to speak of and no public transport to speak of. A development of this sort goes against any kind of sustainability criteria which the Council is / should be not only adhering to but setting an example in. This development would result in greatly increasing the amount of road journeys required over what would be generated if development was limited to being nearer to where the need is. It also destroys what is currently green land – of concern not only for the loss of amenity to the local population and to visitors but also with regard to concerns over food security issues (this is currently farm land) and contribution to climate change through “concreting over” of green spaces.
