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.
We wish to object to the proposed land allocation for development – to south of Lumley Rd. (M41KM) and Scroggs Wood Light Industrial Site (E4M) .
Our main objections to the two proposals are:
The Main Road into Kendal, Milnthorpe Road cannot take any more traffic at peak times, with traffic tailed back way past Shenstone roundabout most weekday mornings. It makes it almost impossible to get out of Helsington Laithes at this time. This is a main route for the Emergency services who are taking more and more patients out of Kendal to Lancaster.
We do not think either the commercial site or the development of housing is needed in Kendal when you look around and see all the empty land where house development has started and the builders have been unable to finish and sell the properties. Many commercial units stand empty in Kendal especially in the Mintsfeet area and nothing has been done on the old K Shoe site on Natland Road. We are of the opinion that these proposals will only benefit the current land owners and Building companies.
Loss of green field space is detrimental to the character and heritage of our area, particularly the Helsington
development with it’s historic background and long history of sheep farming.
Surely the present approach is more likely to attract people to our market town rather than ugly developments which are unnecessary and harmful to the environment.
We hope you will listen to and act upon the many comments made by the objectors who know this area well and do not wish to see it spoilt by unnecessary development.
