LA1.3 Housing Allocations - R697 & part R242 ULVERSTON CROFTLANDS EAST
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.
It would be helpful if you could state your proposed change to the DPD and the reasons why you think it is necessary.
You can see where I live, so like many other residents I'm obviously opposed to the buildign of affordable housing on green fields behind the Croftlands Estate and beyond towards Priory Road, Ulverston.
I have been a resident since 1973, came from the London area with my mother (now passed away) looking for green fields, open spaces and a new start.
Although the estate has deteriorated considerably since (supposed to be open plan gardens now anythign goes eg fences and walls put up 'willy-nilly') my partner and I had at least a pleasant outlook to the rear of the property.
Feeling vulnerable now and no-one to fight my cause (my partner passed away last year) I, with other residents, feel I must object to having our peace shattered, our view destroyed due to unnecessary building on what is prime agricultural land.
When I lived in London in the 60s it was 'tabeoo' to build on green belt area - this is our green belt!!
Ulverston is a unique market town surrounded by natural beauty, fells, open spaces which attract tourism. The open vistas of the Bay from Priory Road will disappear if the planned build is given the go ahead; result, an urban sprawl no doubt one day to amalgamate with Barrow (or Dalton the other way) who wants another Barrow? Horrendous!
New housing development at Croftlands Estate would increas the traffic from the A590 making the junction Coast Road / Oakwood Drive a potential nightmare; (already an accident waiting to happen with shoppers at the Co-op nearby.) & Birchwood Drive an even busier thoroughfare, extra buses etc
I am sure you know the scores . Think before you act need listen to the people - please!!
Several years ago a meeting on the subject at theLancastrian pub, Mountbarow Road (the consultation period if you like) aired several problems which still have not been addressed; roads have only recently just been 'patched up', the flooding situation behind the pub and in the lanes to Kirkigg remain the same. Due to the scale of the development have all utilities been upgraded? i.e. what about the capacity of the shcools; the Health Centre too can hardly cope as it is.
There appear to be plenty of affordable properties on the market in and around Ulverston for potential buyers or to let or rent, so why build on important green gaps between communities which are needed, especially on such a large estate that too is meant to be 'affordable' housing. We already live within a huge council estate are we to have more those ugly grey properties build or private properties like at Swarthmoor built like a pack of cards, with flooding problems too I believe.
Please note we are already fighting to prevent an onslaught of supermarkets in our town. How much more can we take? This brings to mind the discussion of the one-way system in Ulverston years ago, meetings were set up, letters written, opinions asked for, only to be completely dismissed as the decision, admittedly, had previously already been made. Hopeless! Therefore are we to assume that the expansion of the children's play area on Caentral Drive Croftlands amounts to the same thing? I sincerely hope not!!!
Anyway thanking you! I await the next step in anticipation.
