Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
I OPPOSE any development of the above proposed site as it would be situated in the green gap area between Ulverston and Swarthmoor and outside the Ulverston development boundary.
The proposed site access is directly onto the A590 which would involve vehicles having to cross the road in both directions approx.100 yards from the start/end of a dual carriageway (the scene of a number of traffic acccidents and incidents)carrying over 16,000 vehicles a day including a large proportion of HGV's.
A major consideration for a proposed large retail store on the outskirts of Ulverston must include traffic volume on the A590 with no consideration to Ulverston and the disastrous effect this would have on the existing town centre trading community.
SLDC's Local Plan Document for the Future of Ulverston states 'the Local Plan will seek to improve the attractiveness of the town centre whilst limiting new retail development which would jeoparise the vitality of the existing shopping area'.
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
