1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
No

The DPD has not had regard to the Sustainable Community Strategy
1.3 Please give details of the change(s) you consider necessary to make the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD legally compliant, having regard to the test you have identified at question 1.2 above.
It would be helpful if you could state your proposed change to the DPD and the reasons why you think it is necessary.
TO MAINTAIN SUSTAINABILITY IN THE COMMUNITY IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE SUBSTANTIALLY THE
PRESENT PROPOSALS TO ALLOCATE HUGE AREAS OF GREEN FIELD SITES FOR DEVELOPEMENT.
AS NOW APPROVED BY SLDC THE PROPOSALS WOULD IRREPARABLY DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTER OF MANY PARTS OF THE DISTRICT.
VALUABLE AGRICULTRURAL AREAS COULD BE LOST THUS MAKING SOME FARMS ECONOMICALLY UNVIABLE.
THE WHOLE SCHEME HAS NOT BEEN WELL RESEARCHED. THE DEMAND FOR MORE HOUSES HAS BEEN EXAGGERATED.
DEMAND FOR HOUSING IN SOUTH LAKELAND IS INSATIABLE. NEW ESTATES DRAW IN PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE LAKE DISTRICT IS SO ATTRACTIVE. BUT NOT IF FILLED WITH SPRAWLING NEW ESTATES.
1.4 Use this space to explain your support for the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD.
INSOFAR AS IT MAY PROVIDE SITES FOR LOW COST HOUSING IT IS TO BE WELCOMED.
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.

NO DETAILED EVIDENCE AS TO LOCAL DEMAND HAS BEEN PRODUCED.
AS A FORMER SLDC CHIEF HOUSING OFFICER I WOULD CAUTION HAVING TOO MUCH REGARD TO THE HOUSING WAITING LIST WHICH DOES NOT ALWAYS REFLECT TRUE NEED.
2.4 Use this space to explain your support for the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD.
INSOFAR AS IT MAKES PROVISION FOR LOW COST HOUSING IT IS GOOD BUT TO WHAT EXTENT AS COMPARED WITH HIGH COST SPECULATIVE DEVELOPMENT ?
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
3.2 If you wish to participate in the oral part of the examination, please outline why you consider this to be necessary.
HAVING LIVED AND WORKED IN THE DISTRCT FOR MOST OF MY LIFE (I AM NOW 85 YEARS OF AGE) I HAVE ALREADY SEEN ENORMOUS HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS WHICH HAVE NEVER SOLVED THE INSATIONABLE DEMAND FOR HOUSING FROM THOSE WHO WISH TO MOVE INTO SOUTH LAKELAND FROM ELSEWHERE.
THE PRESENT PROPOSALS WOULD ENCOURAGE FURTHER FLOODS OF INCOMERS RATHER THAN MEET LOCAL NEEDS.
