LA1.1 Development Boundaries- PENNY BRIDGE/GREENODD
1.1 Do you consider that the South Lakeland District Council Land Allocations DPD is legally compliant?
Yes
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.
Site Ref RN152 is not appropriate for housing development for the following reasons:
- The land is known to be part of a natural drainage channel. Problems with drainage are well known with many properties downhill of the site suffering standing water and flooding after significant rainfall. Disturbance to the water course by building is likely to create further problems with water run-off and the properties erected on the site may suffer from flooding and dampness.
- The sewerage infrastructure in Penny Bridge and Greenodd (upstream on the new treatment works) is inadequate for current needs. Addition of new-build housing will only exacerbate this existing and serious deficiency.
- The village school and pre-school already run at their nominal capacity with little capacity for expansion.
- Building on the site with completely change the character of the adjacent church, limiting views destroying the rural atmosphere.
- The demand for this level of development in the village has yet to be rigorously established. Job creation in the locality is severely limited and many properties within the area have remained unsold for extended periods.
- Traffic increase during construction and occupation of the new properties will add to the existing problems of access and parking within the Penny Bridge and Greenodd villages.
- The land is not an 'infill' site as stated being on the edge of the village with only the church grounds separating it from agricultural pasture land.
THIS PLOT IS ENTIRELY INAPPROPRIATE FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
