LA1.3 Housing Allocations - R110 GRANGE-OVER-SANDS SOUTH OF THORNFIELD 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.
I hereby give the reasons for not building on the field adjoining Kents Bank Rd & Thornfield Rd:
1) About 20 years ago planning permission was sougth for building on this field (known as Trickets field). It was turned down chiefly because of access. Since then the traffic flow has substantially increased and at times it is almost impossible to get out of Thornfield Rd or Methven Rd onto Kents Bank Rd.
2) There is absolutely no need for more housing in Grange as there are numerous houses & flats up for sale which are not selling.
3) There is no such thing as affordable housing as the high cost young people pay (my grandchildren included) prevents them being able to save for a deposit to get on the housing ladder.
4) Grange is unique ad should remain that way and ot become a concrete jungle like so many places. If there have to be new houses, the 'new' swimming pool should be knocked down (an eyesore) and houses built there.
5) Finally, the above mentioned field is the only place where you can look down from the road to the wonderful views of the Bay. It is full of rare birds & animals & used by the local farmer for his cows. Where will they go if it is built on?
For goodness sake leave a bit of green in Grange!
