LA1.3 Housing Allocations - All Endmoor sites
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.
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.
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.
South Lakeland Land Allocations Development Plan Document Representation
l.Housing Site 1 M41M-mod Land North of Sycamore Close Endmoor (100 dwellings) and
Housing Site 2 R670-mod Land Adjacent to Endmoor Farm (25 dwellings.)
1n housing sites 1 and 2 the DPD proposes to build 125 dwellings which together increase the area
of Endmoor village by 30% and increase the number of homes in Endmoor village by 48%. There
are too many dwellings packed too densely with no open green spaces. The DPD is not sound and
the strategy is wrong. There is no evidence of need for so many houses. 1n South Lakeland there are
1000 empty dwellings needing to be refurbished according to Tim Farron and there 2,500 empty
dwellings which don't need refurbishing according to Radio Cumbria because of a downturn in the
economy. This development will damage the beautiful landscape especially the drumlins and is in a
village with no jobs for workers, no banks, no doctors, no dentists, shops are closing down and the
post office has closed down. The outreach post office has reduced hours of opening. Occupants of
the new dwellings will have to travel to Kendal or Milnthorpe for work or shopping or banks or
doctors etc which is a waste of non renewable resources and will damage air quality. There is a
major problem with sewage (see Infrastructure below.) A better alternative would be to use the
thousands of empty properties in South Lakeland and then if it is necessary to build more dwellings,
build them in places where there are jobs, banks, doctors, shops other services and infrastructure.
3 Infrastructure Waste Water Treatment
The DPD for the above housing and employment sites is not sound because there is no clear strategy
with regard to waste water treatment. Therefore none of the above developments can go ahead and
therefore the DPD is not deliverable. No consultation took place that the sewage treatment works at
Crooklands and Endmoor do not have enough capacity for the above housing developments
and will have to be closed and the sewage pumped to Low Park Lane sewage works which
will be too small and will be replaced by a very large new sewage treatment works. United
Utilities will have to lay large diameter sewage pipes from the Crooklands and Endmoor
sewage treatment works all the way to a new very large sewage treatment works at Low Park
Lane. The sewage pipes will have to be laid deep underground causing damage to the
beautiful landscape especially the drumlins. The sewage from the Crooklands and Endmoor sewage
treatment works will have to be pumped uphill to Low Park Lane sewage treatment works. Laying the
pipes for this distance and pumping the sewage uphill all this way and building a very large sewage
treatment works is a waste of non renewable resources. Large sewage works are usually smelly and
damage air quality. A better alternative is to build a new sewage works on Sites EN20/EN33 at
Gatebeck near the river instead of building the commercial/industrial sites there. Sewage from
Crooklands and Endmoor sewage works could be pumped to here which is easier and waste less
renewable resources than pumping it uphill to Low Park Lane sewage works and it would not be
necessary to enlarge the sewage works at Low Park Lane.

2.Mixed Commercial/Industrial Premises Sites EN20 and EN33 Land at Gatebeck
The DPD is not sound and the strategy is wrong. This is the wrong place for a new site. There is no
evidence of need for more mixed commercial/industrial sites as there is already a surplus of
vacant and apparently unwanted units of this nature in Gatebeck and Sunnnerlands because of
a downturn in the economy and because Gatebeck and Sunnnerlands are too far away from centres
where commercial/industrial units would be viable. Commercial/industrial units on this land at
Gatebeck especially the storage and distribution type will give rise to unacceptable levels of traffic
including trucks on the very narrow country lanes and create conditions prejudicial to highway
safety. Gatebeck Lane is very dangerous due to the large number of vehicles including trucks
travelling very fast around the narrow tight bends and blind comers. Also the development will
damage the beautiful landscape especially the drumlins. There is a major problem with sewage (see
Infrastructure below.) A better alternative would be to use the vacant units in Gatebeck and
Sunnnerlands. There are commercial/industrial units available at Farleton where the auction mart is
being built as well as at Milnthorpe and Kendal

CS 1.1.1 Improve air quality, strengthen ecosystem services to enhance resilience of the natural
environment and minimize the use of non-renewable resources.
CS 1,1 ,2 It is vital to protect the countryside for its intrinsic beauty, diversity and natural resources and
for its ecological and geological values.
CS 1.1.3 Enhance landscape characters and features.
CSL 1.6 Minimise the need to travel.
CS 1.1. 7 New developments should be directed to existing service centres where there is adequate
service and infrastructure capacity to accommodate the levels of development.
CS 1. 1.8 Development should first use existing buildings and previously developed land and when this
is used up, should develop land where this is well located for jobs, other services and infrastructure.
CS 1.1.9 Developments should meet the diverse social and economic needs of local communities.
CS 1.1.1 0 Development needs to be balanced with protecting and enhancing the attractiveness of the
area.
CS 1.2 The development strategy New development will only be permitted in open countryside where it,
has an essential requirement for a rural location and is needed to sustain existing businesses.
CSS The East. Protect the network of green infrastructure and important environmental characteristics
and ensure that new development safeguards and enhances the natural environment.
CS6.6 Making effective and efficient use ofland and buildings
Bring previously developed land and buildings and empty housing into housing use.
CS7 .1 Do not overdevelop employment sites in relation to the actual scale of economic growth in light
of a review of employment trends and needs.
CS7.4 Employment related development should not be detrimental to the character and appearance of
the landscape and should not give rise to unacceptable levels of traffic and should not create conditions
prejudicial to highway safety.
CS8.1 Green Infrastructure Ensure that green infrastructure is an integral part of creating sustainable
communities and protect the countryside from inappropriate development and protect species and
habitats and create new habitats and wildlife corridors.
CS8.2 Protection and enhancement of landscape and settlement character

value ofland and buildings
CS8.1 0 Design The siting, design, and scale of all development should maintain or enhance the quality
of the landscape.
CS 10.2 Transport impact of new development. Development will be designed to reduce the need
to travel and the expected nature and volume of traffic generated by the proposal could be
accommodated by the existing road network without detriment to the amenity or character of
the surrounding area, local air quality or highway safety
