LA1.3 Housing Allocations - R121M-mod KENDAL EAST OF CASTLE GREEN ROAD
1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
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 Land Allocations Document (DPD) is not within the Local Development Scheme and the key stages have not been followed
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 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.
1. The policy set out in former LDS's (199, 2006, 2008) to preserve Kendal's eastern hilsides as visual assets has been ignored.
2. Recent consultation procedure has been followed but the outcome rejected (400 against inclusion of R121, 2 for, plus objections from Friends of the Lake District, Wild Life Organisations adn Kendal town Council). Solution: Omit R121, use brown-field sites and create new settlements.
Please omit site R121 from the DPD. I would welcome more use of empty properties, brown-field sites, or out-of-town sites, where a vibrant new settlement could be created (Taylor Review, 2011 for market towns).
The National Planning Policy Framework March 26th 2012 states that a LDS must:
1. take into account the wishes of a local community (400 against R121, 2 supporters)
2. benefit the community; Kendal's projected housing need has halved to 205p.a. - do we need these expensive houses?
3. be encouraged to use 'brown' sites over green fields.
4. preserve green corridors, open spaces and landscapes - a lovely approach to kendal would be lost.
5. preserve agricultrual land - today the fields have sheep and lambs.
6. protect sits of specific interest, even if not designated; the area is home ot the great crested news and uncommon birds.
7. not build on flood-prone land; the site has numerous springs, drainage of which would seriously imbalance the current Stock Beck scheme.
8. always consider the well-being of all residents; there would be pollution and traffic danger to Oaktree Road.
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
Please tick the box if you wish to be notified when the document is submitted, published and adopted.
