Policy/Site No.
LA1.3 Housing Allocations - All Ulverston sites
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.
I would like to object to the above proposal on the grounds that SLDC Land Allocation Development Plan consultation process was not 'sound'.
Perhaps the Planning Department have never tried to exit the A590 at Cross-a-Moor to turn either left or right during 'peak' times. It is a nightmare, already Main Street at Swarthmoor is used as a 'quick way' for Croftland residents to exit or get on to the A590. It is used by local schoo children to get to and from Penningto at Croftlands schools.
What are SLDC plans for the pavements on Main Street? To walk in safety you have to cross this road when the pavement stops and continues on the opposite side.
Remember these are country road and were not built to be used by HGVs which even at this moment are being used as a quick route by them.
What are the statistics for accidents happening at Cross-a-Moor? Do the Planning Board propose to widen this part of the A590 to allow the central reservation more vehicles to be situated, to exit the road to turn left or right?
I am in favour of affordable housing but to build more new homes when we already have many people that are unable to sell property, is crazy. The point is the young people just cannot get the mortgages required, because they do not have the deposit required.
Please listen to the residents issues with these proposed plans, does Ulverston need all these new homes, it is a small market town and as such the infrastructure cannot take such a huge plan.
