No

Re : 500 New Houses in Grange over Sands
Grange does not need the planned additional 500 new homes thrust upon it by SLDC . It
should be allowed to develop organically protected by the old planning rules that have
served and protected it so well in the past.
The town has kept its character, primarily as a holiday/retirement town, and, as such, has
not developed any other industry. SLDC should be promoting it as such, not trying to
change it into a 'run of the mill' dormitory town.
The concept of building 325 houses to help fmance 175 affordable ones makes no sense
at all. It would be preferable for the government to help finance housing projects in the
areas where they are actually needed, i.e. near to centres of industry, close to the
motorways and on the many rundown and brown field sites in towns and cities which are
in urgent need of regeneration.
I am sure that you have heard all the arguments against the building of so many houses,
such as road access and lack of suitable infrastructure many times.
I have not yet spoken to one person who is in agreement with the SLDC plans.
Please listen to the electorate and fight the plans.
