LA1.3 Housing Allocations - All Grange-over-Sands sites
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 write with reference to the plans for house building in the Grange over Sands area.
We are very unhappy with the proposals for the following reasons:
1. We are not persuaded of the need for hundreds of new homes in this area.
2. We have seen no compelling reason for accepting the Government's statistics on
which all the development plans of SLDC are based.
3. We understand that there are over one hundred and twenty dwellings for sale in
Grange at present.
4. The green spaces that remain in the area are precious both in separating various
conununities, and in allowing invaluable views over the bay.
5. The roads in Grange, in particular Main Street and Risedale Hill, are already
overloaded and often congested.
6. New residential development should take place on brown field sites before anything
is built on green field sites.
7. Empty spaces above shops should be converted into living space.
8. Long term empty properties should be brought back into use.
It would appear to us that the desires of developers are being put before the more important
feelings of residents. We should be glad if you would put this letter before the councillors
who are involved in decision making.
