We at Irvings butchers are strongly opposed to the any attempt to change the designation of this land to retail. We fundamentally believe that this should be kept under Green Gap protection, and no development should be allowed at all. If any development is to occur, it should be for high-value industry, bringing high-value jobs, not the low-value offered by retail. But our objections are also that an out-of-town retail development would sound the death knell to the small traders in Ulverston, renowned for its local and independent retailers, and turn this town into any other.
It would also bring traffic chaos, promote ribbon development along the A590, and fundamentally no need for a supermarket has been demonstrated.
We oppose the change of land use to retail, in the interests of Ulverston as a vital and viable market town.
