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 effective in that the document is not deliverable, flexible or capable of being monitored.
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 above Parish Council met last week and discussed the effectiveness of the Allocations of Land in the surrounding areas, there being no allocation of land earmarked in Field Broughton or Wood Broughton.
However, the Councillors do not consider the proposals to be sound or an effective or deliverable strategy in adjacent Parishes as any development will generate extra traffic, local to the proposed development and, in particular in this Parish, especially on he narrow roads leading to and from the A590 and also create drainage and sewage problems.
The traffic on the roads travelling through this Parish already has a speed limit of 60mph, which the Councillors consider to be too high; there are no footpaths and in places barely room for two vehicles to pass in opposite directions. They consider that the general quality of life would be diminished if development were to take place in for example, Cartmel, Allithwaite, Cark or Flookburgh without taking into account these implications. These country lanes are not only used by motor vehicles, but by cyclists, pedestrians and horse and carriage drivers.
