I have read the guidance notes
Policy/Site No.
LA1.1 Development Boundaries- ULVERSTON
2.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is sound?
No
2.2 If NO please identify which test of soundness your representation relates to by selecting the relevant option(s) below and completing section 2.3.
The DPD is not justified in that it is not founded on a robust and credible evidence base and/or is not considered the most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives.
The DPD is not consistent with national policy.
2.3 Please give details of the change(s) you consider necessary to make the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD sound, having regard to the test you have identified at question 2.2 above.
It would be helpful if you could state your proposed change to the DPD and the reasons why you think it is necessary.
The number of houses planned for Ulverston is out of proportion to its housing needs, and doesn't take into account the negative effect it would have on the infrastructure to the town - roads and traffic, schools, amenities etc.
Greenfield sites should not be built on when there are brownfield sites available in the local area - the brownfield site running alongside the canal could be regenerated by building affordable apartments, and Barrow-in-Furness, the nearest town to Ulverston, has brownfield sites suitable for housing.
Regarding specifically R242 and adjoining plots - an underground watercourse runs through these plots and floods upto the town boundary after prolonged rainfall. Any building over this watercourse could further restrict drainage and cause flooding to Croftlands estate.
The need for housing should be planned for on a much more local level - the Regional Spatial Strategy for which the DPD was originally instigated has since been retracted from current government policy.
