LA1.3 Housing Allocations - M41KM KENDAL SOUTH OF LUMLEY ROAD
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.
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.
Once again the southern side of this market town is threatened by extended development on open land on either side of the A6, beyond the existing building line. Where is the soundness for this careless decision. Both sites are valuable farm land, cattle are once again emerging after wintering inside under cover. Sheep - ewes and lambs are feeding on the green fields presently. It is a natural line for the border of the town, both physically and visually. How proud we are. How cavalier are you to make these decisions against the will of the townspeople? Industry? no doubt, because there is an open space - no, there is a limit, make homes on the brown sites within walking distance of the services, no longer lines of traffic, queueing to enter the town.
