LA1.3 Housing Allocations - RN131M,RN141#, RN321# &RN284# Ulverston - Gascow Farm
1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
No
1.2 If NO please identify which test of legal compliance your representation relates to by selecting the relevant option(s) below and completing section 1.3.
The DPD has not had regard to the Sustainable Community Strategy
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.
These new proposals would destroy the environmental character of many parts of the town especially as theses parts are on green land. Many of these green land areas are of agricultural use. The loss of this land would be economically inviable.
There is brown land space in near by areas to Ulverston that lie in Furness. These need to be considered as well.
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.
The DPD is not effective in that the document is not deliverable, flexible or capable of being monitored.
The DPD is not consistent with national policy.

At the beginning of the consultation only part of Gascow Farm was considered for building. To begin with this was not sound as it is classed as green land. After the initial consultation the whole of the area has been put forward for building work after the commendation of a building firm. This is not listening to the voice of the residents, this was listening to people who fit in with the plans. Gascow Farm has already been denied planning permission in the past because of flooding problems. Why are these problems now being overlooked? The plan to build houses of this scale in Ulverston in absurd. For a start many houses lie empty and they are being ignored. Secondly there are plenty of houses already for sale in the area. John Woodcock MP has also pointed out that Barrow has plenty of brown space areas to offer and yet have not been consulted. Why ignore brown space land in the area for the sake of destroying green land which should be protected. Ulverston is already struggling to maintain the town with many pot holed roads still not being fixed and services, such as recycling facilities, being cut. A new estate of the size being proposed would cripple the infrastructure of the town. I also don't agree with how the decisions are being made in Kendal. It seems convenient that Ulverston is one of the towns with the most amount of housing and opinions in this town are being ignored. New housing would introduce new people to the area not help local people in need of housing.
2.4 Use this space to explain your support for the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD.
Brown land in the Furness area would be of more benefit so I feel that they need to take part in these consultations.
