Before completing this online representation please tick the box to show you have read the 'Guidance Notes for Making a Representation'
I have read the guidance notes
Policy/Site No.
LA1.3 Housing Allocations - All Endmoor sites
1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
No
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.
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.
The number of houses proposed for Endmoor village is excessive. To increase these by 48% will change the character of the village - the traffic this would generate is a real worry. Enyeat Road would be seriously affected.
Also the A65 - probably produce a rat run to the motorway.
Another concern is the sewage system - I understand they are at capacity now. Village facilities would need to improve e.g. a doctors surgery required, improved bus service, a post office to name a few.
What is required is low cost housing on smaller scale - to encourage the young to stay in the village.
