LA1.3 Housing Allocations - M38M BURNESIDE LAND OPPOSITE HOLME HOUSES
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 would like to lodge my complaint that the proposed development of the above site does not go ahead.
I have a number of objections:-
1) The field is in a trust named the Willink trust for the use of the people who live in Burneside. It cannot be used for any other purpose, bar recreational. If it was to be used to build upon, the people of Burneside must vote on this. It is NOT for the trustees to decide. They do not have a balanced view.
2)There are very few playing fields left in Burneside. This being one of the last. The building of houses by the Youth Club has already reduced the area for play dramatically. The youth of Burneisde are able to play freely on this field without being a member of any club.
3) Due to the decreased area of field, there is decreased absorption of water. This means there will be more run off and more flooding. Burneside already has a problem with flooding and sewage due to ancient sewers. Obviously this will make the matter 10 times worse.
4) The river Kent in Burneside is home to the White clawed crayfish. This is its last stronghold left in Europe. If there is more run off into the river, which WILL be the case if more land is developed, more pollution will get into the river. The white clawed crayfish are very susceptible to pollution, and further building in Burneside could endanger the crayfish further. We also believe there are several types of bat living and breeding in and around this site which are also protected.It is believed that Great crested newts inhabit this area too.
Due to all the above points I would like to question the soundness of the proposal to build in the areas of M38M and SF32.
