Please find enclosed maps with annotations which act as general summaries of present remarks regarding this present consultation on Land Allocation, together with this covering letter and a list of those maps the whole together to be MY RESPONSE.
During the last twelve years or even more I have put forward various letter summary papers that refer to land under South Lakeland District Council including that which concluded with the Inquiry of March 2012 into S.L.D.C. Core 2025 Plans. I particularly note this as it was cleared with the assumption that the Council would have the same amount of land at its allocation as from prior than. But since that date both the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales National Park have made representations to claim parts of this land for their own. Altogether as much as one third of land as at Two Thousand and Ten would be lost to SLDC which makes me wonder the legality of Core 2025 especially as YDNP Planning comes under the North East Regional Board as Sedbergh does now.

1. M2M - completely against; fight and fight again .... Combined employment; Parkland; apartments / hamlets, no roads, exceeds access, quiet building, club house, cafe, classrooms, exercise swimming (Sandgates suggestion type - over subscribed)
2. Completely against this - see Kendal South East Maps; fought in inquiries several times; why restate?
3. I have been in various inquiries over the years where this land has been put forward for use. Each time the Inspector has agreed with our points. One of the greatest views out over the fields to the castle of The Parr family (6th wife of Henry VIII) surrounding it the 'Old Grey Town' of Kendal. Why keep putting it back into such plans except pounds?

In the Inquiry of March 2010 this Action Plan was mentioned and various other matters arising. Particularly regard a third supermarket that could be classed as 'Town Centre'.
There was reference to the Jubilee Fields (Kendal North East) and fields below West Coast Main Railway Line at Oxenholme off Oxenholme Road. The fact of these large areas of Town removed from Plan Core 2025 and this Land Allocation has sometimes proved difficult to make complete judgements.
Jubilee Fields here guarded - good. But possible some development associated with ex Milk Marketing Board Road (opposite Morrisons / Queen Katherine) could be considered adjacent? By roadside (west) on way to this (new) Business Park - i.e. small units = as Beezon Road ex railway but [text omitted - unable to decipher]

Kendal Old Quarry = 'Penningtons'. Stopped due to water discovered. Limestone filtered = pre historic possibilities? Any heavy machinery / Industrial usage should be properly assessed / sealed surface to reduce contamination.
Still do not like 'blank' of this action plan which has had a variety of suggestions not all good AND includes housing which being separate PLAN does not seem to count towards number called for through The North West Planning Regional Authority which is disconcerting at the least.
On upper northern part of this sheet (see attached plan) I mentioned how the sweep of the bypass but also visible from the Brigsteer Road would be able to view this overrun of new building.
Ironically as Bradley Fields where the old Kendal Horse Racing is still noted is a SSSI - Site of Special Scientific Interest. How long will it remain so when there are bridges to convey dog walkers to and into it. Just a nice 'swing' of a route for a walk. Aside from spoiling the greenfields approach to the Lake District.
Some suggestions - possible walk linkage to northern end of Parkway off PS61.
Query (map ref Kendal South East) - This is water what is the sense of the gas mains near railway?

Use of this brings buildings closer to the railway. I remarked on this type of closeness in the past. Over the years I have seen the disinterest of train passengers to look out of the window even when the Lake District Hills (National Park) are visible.
I fear that this act of dischantment could tell against future business.

Termage:
'Blood Kendalians' - those people with a very strong connection to the area i.e. born and possible parents also born Kendal (or very near - 5 miles)
This [site] completely breaks the boundaries of Kendal. Completely green fields NEVER BEEN BUILT UPON. Any claims as 'gaps' not what one could call same. This is rising land - top of road is high but houses not easily seen due to screening of gardens. Stone - variable walling too.
At past consultations RN169M & RN299# suggested IF passed for building give special protection. To be built part sunden in GROUND as additional and local co-operative of 'Blood Kendalians'. As all aboe red signed land should be starred for special consideration. Design materials; screening.

Low 1 - so named as near watercourse that could be overwhelmed by a new drainage system on this low lying site.
Site 2 - Even bigger possibly.
Both sites bring transport problems to mind. Road narrows and not made for any type of heavy or high volume traffic.
Inquiry, Core 2010 suggested problems; capacity water = Wattsfield Sewage Workd.
Delay on Planning several years.
Size is not given but if one fills in field boundaries in which these are set area is much larger.
My understanding is these red dashed circles denote additional areas under consideration for more buildings. Both are huge areas OUTSIDE present boundaries that are built.

This too via lovely old peice of ground with vegetation undistrubed. Surprised - considered due to contours suitable for building upon. Lock out use of heavy machinery DESIGN / TO SITE / Unique development. This is such a disappointment to use these beautiful green fields; not green gaps visible on top of hill coming along on bypass.

Could be an interesting block of apartments not to be wasted on a few houses. 'Sheltered' by high ground rise = possible security of ground stability. Buildings along railway - see my notes on disenchant visitors to lake District; same applies here.

Time and time again; passed accepted boundary of Scroggs Wood green site; partly in possible flood plain.
These green fields on the right into Kendal look across green fields. Once called Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty towards the unspoilt land south of Kendal upwards to the eastern hills that being the town.

LAND ALLOCATION PLANS CONSULTATION April 2012

This shows employment; industrial - craft outlet, visitor centre. Additional usage of sponsered CCC bus route used by local people. Able to divert before entering village. Main entrance. Easy access to A roads and motorway / bypass.
Re Water Canal - without waiting for reconnection to Lancaster at Tewitfield due to 'CUT OFF' M6 motoway 1962.
As Inquiry evidence, Canal Trust; This section (as shown on map) to be part of Section 3 redevelopment plan to re-water whole length - join onto canal into Lancaster and thence all English / Welsh system navigation as is.
My suggestion - Why wait? from as shown re water whole or from Sedgwick. On present bus route - day tickets available. Could extend to South Kendal - re-water - to Watercrook.
Local housing a solution. Separation from existing housing and yet naturally screened by raising ground.
IDEA - As suggested Core Plan 2025 SLDC and Inquiry 2010; develop fields in a natural screened hollow.
Excavate 5 ft only required (waste riddled stone used)
Two harbour pools on either side of bridge; new returned track access; access only (foot traffic).
East 'Houseboats' local people = local stock building; West - 'visitors' own or hired (i.e. Norfolk Broads); craft 'village' suppliers (workshops / shops / display) chandlers; None vehicle one in park (stone wall screened).

Disappointed - this field has been retained. Hope some consideration is given to surrounding houses and styles. H = was Holmes (see attached document), a local nursery, good quality plants raised on own premises. Now sold and built upon by not very welcoming design; last seen compared with spacing and looks of carefully crafted buildings on north, east and south of same. Hope more care given to any allowed on this site.

The suggestion on this map has been put forward by both word and in the written. I was disappointed not to see it NOT given the consideration I feel it deserves due to its nature and circumstances of the future. It is, I believe, ideally situated as it is close to Kendal and can be driven, walked , bus or riden to with ease.
It is a quiet locality inspite of this close proximity to the town and easily arrived at from reasons of localities.

I will just mention this patch of ground M38M. Is just as you are pulling out of Burneside on the train heading to Windermere with the Lake District National Park boundary VERY CLOSE. Apart from this my comments about infill up to the railway line and the disenchantment of our many guests.
I would request:
1. Development is starred for special design requirements (Development Brief for site) AND includes natural stone in both housing and boundary (walls). Together with all year screen - natural planting i.e. holly - can be cut to 10ft high to stop 'urbanization' look - back gardens - seen from train.

Sorry these fields will be built upon while leaving main comments to those most closely concerned. Hope rememberance is given to fact that a lot of stone is in Burneside used in both houses, other buildings and boundary walls.
