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.
plans are unsound in relation to croftlands estate because 1. iThe double in houses will double traffic: Birchwood Drive, already busy with local buses, through traffic and many parked cars, would become hazardous and no plans have been made to
deal with this.
2. Similarly no plans have been made for the increase in local services - such as schools, doctors sewage capacity (already full) - necessary for a double population.

3. Need in this area over and above kendal, Dalton and Barrow has not been clearly demonstrated. Indeed, houses on the estate are not selling quickly.
4. 1,250 more houses in Ulverston represents about 10 percent increase in population. Larger towns such as Barrow and Kendal could more effectively absorb these numbers without increasing their populations by 10 percent.
5.There will be increased car usage: The A590 between Ulverston and Barrow is already notoriously busy and since Barrow has more industry etc commuting will increase, overloading the road and forcing traffic dangerously into small country lanes.
6. The majority (93 percent) of the houses planned for Ulverston will be on green field sights, though there are brown field sights elsewhere and many of these sights are liable to flooding
