LA1.3 Housing Allocations - R697 & part R242 ULVERSTON CROFTLANDS EAST
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 processes of community involvement in developing the DPD are not in general accordance of the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
The DPD has not been prepared in accordance with the Town & County Planning Regulations 2004 (as amended)
Sustainability Appraisal has not been carried out and its baseline information and conclusions have not been used to inform the DPD
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
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.
I have no idea whether its legal or not in the same way that hundreds of other residents wouldn't.
Is it being carried out fairly and in an unbiased and morally correct way (whether legal or not) is a question most would be concerned with.
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.

This has not been a consultation process but has no doubt satisifed legal requirements as such. To really consult involves letters through doors so that everyone is informed of the plans not just those who have access to the internet or who buy the Evening Mail.
My views are applicable to all of Ulverston and not just to the one boxed area i was permitted to tick.
I am very much in favour of the next generation having work and housing in the area but no evidence is presented that this will be the case as only 35% of housing is designated as being affordable and 60% of that will be social rented (therefore only 21% of all housing will be social rented). What will the rest be, unaffordable AND offensive to the eye? Is it predicted that without these 1193 houses there will be a few thousand homeless people in Ulverston? If not, this is one huge and expensive gamble. If so, demonstrate it. There is no evidence presented of where all the people who will take up these houses will come from. Equally there is no guarantee presented that housing will be taken up by locally employed people and no account of that it will NOT be taken up by rich outsiders looking for a second home?
The local taxpayer will clearly pay for these houses, but who will own them once built? The council or a Private funding initiative (or equivalent) that we will pay extra council tax for generations to come?
This whole document is designed to be only understood by experts and does not allow open and free answers from ordinary people. This is not consultation, its clever and devious manipulation of public opinion to fit a template of pre-designed responses made to be less troublesome to those involved.
2.4 Use this space to explain your support for the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD.
A sensible plan based upon obvious and DEMONSTRATED local demand would receive my full support. As this does not fit that criterion. It doesn't receive my support.
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.
So that my views, which represent those of a considerable number of the ordinary community are heard in full.
