Policy/Site No.
LA1.3 Housing Allocations - RN337# ARNSIDE STATION RD
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.
If new houses were to be built on the station-field, the chaos would be intensified, because:
* a valuable site for a car-park would be lost, even though parked cars in Station Road already cause minor traffic-jams on too many occasions;
* the residents of the houses would inevitably demand somewhere to park their own cars, thus causing even more congestion.

The most urgent need in Arnside is for off-street parking in the vicinity of the railway-station and the promenade. This seems to be the only way of avoiding chaos during fine weekends in the Summer.

I fear that South Lakeland District Council's housing-plans show that it has lost sight of the fact that Arnside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Is this designation to be ignored?
