Local Development Framework Consultation

Allithwaite

field between green lane and vicarage road

Oppose

This site was proposed in a previous round of building applications. The site was turned down by the planning committee of SLDC then for several reasons, CHEIFLY THAT IT WAS NOTE PART OF THE COUNCILS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREAS. Practical reasons for not including the site included very poor access both roads are very narrow with poor exits to Church Road. No route for sewerage connection from the site was available. Water pressure to surounding properties is already low and further additions would make this worse. Development next to the cemetary was considered difficult to sell, and incidentally would also restrict the extension of said cemetary. There is 1 dwelling that backs inmmediatly onto the proposed site and any development would restrict this properties light.The site is designated as open space within the village, development would destroy the character of a village ie: a loose developed area including green space. All of these reasons still apply.

Support

Village development by its very nature should be small, possibly even single plots over a long period of time to reflect local demand.

Option A - Allocating sites for houses and employment in the Land Allocations document

Option B would allow developers and pressure groups to form alliances with development not adequatly controled. Leading to undisirable developments against the greater interest.Option A is therefore favoured.
