1. The field is a vilage amenity which gives space and comfort to those who use and visit the church. As a community benefit, open access to everyone it is a priceless asset with fine views to the north and hills;

No

The proposed development on this site in Penny Bridge is to be deplored.
The field is the only open space in village of Greenodd and Penny Bridge that has open access. We have no playground nor sports fields, no open area for recreation or to sit in contemplation. The field beside the path from lych gate to church front door is one of the great benefits to living in the village. It has superb vistas to the north to the Coniston hills along the length of the Crake Valley and it provides solace to those attending funerals or visiting graves and great joy to those attending weddings. What a great loss it would be if these pleasures were to be defiled by a housing development.
The housing development opposite the church field, completed some years ago has caused considerable problems to the survace and sewerage in the village which even the new water treatment plant in Greenodd has not yet managed to successfully cope with.
The is NO NEED for further housing. A housing survey in 2008 found no local need and there is a surfeit of houses for sale and rent in Greenodd and Penny Bridge at the present time.
This proposal for development is unnecessary and would b e adespoilation of a wonderful village amenity. It represents environmental vandalism of the highest order and there can be no justification for commercial gain.
