The development of this large site would be contrary to the adopted Core Strategy which identifies Ackenthwaite as a small village where the policy is essentially one of infilling and rounding off on a small scale,to meet an identified local need.

It is taking so long to do this consultation that the maximum time benefit should be derived.
Please indicate which of the options for the future housing and employment land needs of small villages, hamlets and open countryside you would support.
Option B - Communities and/or developers bringing forward sites for housing and employment for consideration under relevant Core Strategy policies, through neighbourhood plans and/or other local initiatives
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
This is a sensible approach provided that Core Strategy policies are not compromised.

The allocation of this site would be contrary to the Core Strategy policy. Ackenthwaite is classified as a small village where the policy is essentially one of infilling and rounding off with small scale development for an identified local need.

Further to my previous comment, in light of the Government's Draft National Policy Framework,just published, it would be dangerous not to allocate land to cover a 15 year span. Developers would be able to force planning decisions on land they chose in the absence of adequate allocations by local authorities. The Land Allocations document currently under review should therefore include contingency in the event that the Government's Draft Proposals be adopted.

Option A - Allocating sites for houses and employment in the Land Allocations document
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
Previously commented as support for Option B but could be dangerous in light of the likely introduction of the new National Policy Framework,ie developer driven inititives could prevail over local interests. Some protection, therefore, needs to be built in to the Council's Policy.
