RN87 Allithwaite
2.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is sound?
No
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.
In the map and other documentation published in January 2011 relating to Emerging Sites, ref RN87 and RN 37 relate to part of Allithwaite Lodge Field. We were very happy for this land which is owned by us but was. also put forward by others to be included as an option for consideration.
Developments on some or all of these two sections would provide pleasant rural aspect for the householders but would not obscure views for others because of the levels of the sites in question.
We understand that the sites were struck off from further consideration on the basis only of access.
Clearly road access onto Flookburgh Road Allithwaite is an issue. A major development would increase traffic volumes perhaps to dangerous or unacceptable levels. However we feel two points require further consideration
• Traffic produced by a small scale development say 3 to 8 properties would be unlikely to
create a major hazard
• If a larger development in the mid to longer term went forward there would be scope for
redevelopment of the junction to embrace appropriate current safety standards.
Accordingly we feel the decision to exclude sections RN 87 and RN 37 from the plan is not sound and should be reviewed. We ask that you submit this view to the appropriate authorities as part of the next stage of the planning process .
3.1 If your representation is seeking a change, do you consider it necessary to participate in the oral part of the examination?
NO, I do not wish to participate at the oral examination
