1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
No
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 consistent with national policy.
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.
The process of identification of development sites was influenced by a draft National Policy Framework parts of which have since been radically altered. The allocations were thereby skewed to over development.
A selection based on a false premise can in no way be deemed sound.
In particular the greenfield site of this response which presently and for past years been used for the pasturing of sheep demands review.
A further apparent lack of soundness is in council decisions whereby party political bickering excludes the rational outcome that these serious matters require. See for example a letter to the Westmorland Gazette of Feb. 12th 2012 by Peter Thornton, SLDC Cabinet member for Housing and Development.
The necessary change is the removal of this site from the allocations.
