LA1.1 Development Boundaries- GRANGE-OVER-SANDS
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.
Assessment of housing need is flawed and the allocation plan does not accurately reflect the needs of the area. Specifically, to increase housing provision in the Grange area by approx. 20% is nonsensical.
It is also nonsensical to increase private housing stock on this scale in an area with considerable stock for sale in an attempt to provide for the small amount of affordable housing required in the area.
The proposals for Kents Bank and Allithwaite mean that the two separate communities are in danger of coalescence, in contradiction of the Council's declared policies. Furthermore, the proposals do not include upgrading the road and service structure, leaving a hazardous 'pinch-point' at the junction of Church Road and the main route through Allithwaite, a junction without pavement or pedestrian access. Given the significant increase in traffic to the village and primary school as a consequence of the proposals this represents a serious danger of accidents. The main road carries large commercial vehicles and buses around an already hazardous corner.
