LA1.3 Housing Allocations - R76M BURTON-in-KENDAL EAST OF HUTTON CLOSE
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.
I wish to record my objections to the proposed LDF for Burton.
The government White Paper stating that Burton is not sustainable still applies i.e. The village amenities are insufficient, lack of car parks and local schools already full.
Land REF R76M (behind Church Bank)
The reasons this site was refused planning have not changed since it was turned down on appeal in July 2006.
1) The vehicle access to this site is totally unsuitable i.e. part of the access road is unfinished
2) There is no safe pedestrian access to the village, wheel-chairs or parents with prams would find there is no suitable pavements. The bridleway from Vicarage Lane does not lead onto this site.
3) The public viewpoint paid for in part by public collection and erected by the Parish Council on Slape Lane for the benefit of all, will become irrelevant because some views indicated will be obliterated by any development.
