LA1.3 Housing Allocations - M9M2-mod MILNTHORPE NORTH WEST OF MILNTHORPE
1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
Yes
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.
It would be helpful if you could state your proposed change to the DPD and the reasons why you think it is necessary.
During a recent regional poll 98% of peoples responses were against the continued building up of the area which has a continued negative impact on the wildlife and over all view of the landscape which helps to bring in tourism during the summer months.
The Booths development and the proposed industrial estate next to Houghtons coachworks already detract from the appearance of this corner of the village and further development would only serve to erode the character of the village and by extension have an adverse effect on house prices.
Access into any estate at the proposed location is limited and will be used by traffic for the industrial estate as well, putting too much pressure on the small road of Grisleymires Lane and effecting those residents that already use it for Dallam Chase.
In short, the proposed estate is neither wanted or needed by the voting people of Milnthorpe.
3.1 If your representation is seeking a change, do you consider it necessary to participate in the oral part of the examination?
