LA1.3 Housing Allocations - RN213-mod BRIGSTEER LAND OPPOSITE THE WHEATSHEAF
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.
The DPD does not include evidence submitted during the consultation that the electors of Brigsteer do not support the building of houses on site RN213, namely that in a survey of Brigsteer residents conducted in February 2011 to which 95 residents responded (about 66% of the number on the electoral roll), 73% opposed the building of up to 13 houses on RN213 and 95% considered affordable housing should be integrated into the community on small sites, not segregated on one site and should be developed gradually and not all in Phase 1. Those facts should be included in the DPD as evidence that the electors of Brigsteer oppose building on site RN213. That situation was confirmed at a Parish Meeting on 10 April at which 31 electors voted against the development of RN213 and 20 voted for the development.
