LA1.3 Housing Allocations - All Allithwaite sites
1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
No
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.
South Lakeland District Council have conducted all aspects of the Proposed Land Allocations Document very much on a "need to know" basis, with all dealings dressed in jargon and abbreviations.
It is a fair guess to say that most of the local population are ignorant of the detail of it's proposals. I do not consider that enough effort has been made to engage stakeholders, with the exception of land owners and developers.
2.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is sound?
No
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.

I think all residential development in Allithwaite is ill advised, paticularly on the field M32#.Recent Government planning guidlines state that development should be such as to encourage the use of public transport,walking, cycling. Allithwaite has next to no public transport. Cycling on the busy narrow and hilly B5277, the only artery towards employment and ameneties would be very ill advised. Pedestrian access to any housing at M32# would be along a very narrow twisty stretch of road without footpath.
I consider much of SLDC's DPD to be out of line with current Government Guidlines and should be subject to large scale ammendment.
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
