No
1.2 If NO please identify which test of legal compliance your representation relates to by selecting the relevant option(s) below and completing section 1.3.
The DPD has not had regard to national policy and does not conform generally with the adopted Core Strategy and (until it is abolished) the Regional Spatial Strategy
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.
The DPD is not effective in that the document is not deliverable, flexible or capable of being monitored.
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 LDF document refers to the land incorrectly as Oak Vale, but having ascertained which parcel is referenced, this land is currently in agricultural use and as a building site does not comply with the current UK plans;
• the land is not 'infill' as it is not developed on the southern boundary;
the land is not suitable for building the proposed 22 houses as is unstable, liable to flooding and the extreme elevation would seriously impair light to the existing development to the north;
the drainage in the village is already compromised by the excess surface water evidenced by the flooding which occurs on the roads and the inability of the new water treatment plant to cope;
the school could not support the additional pupils which would be introduced by such a development;
the transport infrastructure would not cope with the additional demand;
the property I occupy was previously owned by the Diocese of Carlisle and there are restrictive covenants which prevent me from causing any detriment to the adjacent properties owned by the Church which would .
affect services and the general enjoyment of anyone attending those amenities. Such a development would seriously compromise this aspect.
3.1 If your representation is seeking a change, do you consider it necessary to participate in the oral part of the examination?
NO, I do not wish to participate at the oral examination

there is no evidence of the need for additional housing in this area as already there are thirteen properties for sale and no potential buyers, further supported by the 2008 Parish Survey;
