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.
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 have given some considerable thought to the proposed development Land Allocation plans regarding Arnside village.
I would like to make the following points;
1. Arnside village has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ("AONB") and should continue to be protected as such under the development laws.
I would ask you to either re-consider the entire development plan or at the very minimum reduce the number of houses being proposed on the Red Hills Road site.

2. The proposed number of houses to be constructed on the site adjacent to Red Hills Road (42 houses) is grossly out of proportion to the land size and reference to the number of houses proposed to be constructed on other sites within the village (which are of a larger size e.g. adjacent to Black Dyke Road - 30 houses).
3. The access road (Red Hills Road) is a small lane which cannot sustain the increase volume of traffic should the development go ahead. Furthermore, it is adjacent to an elderly people's home (Inglemere Close) and close to a school (Silverdale Road) - both of which present safety hazards with an increase traffic volume.
I would ask you to either re-consider the entire development plan or at the very minimum reduce the number of houses being proposed on the Red Hills Road site.
