Please add your response below: (limit 3000 words)
Milnthorpe Parish Council would like to make the following comments on two proposed development sites in Milnthorpe village:
- site RN140 - We understand the inspector's reservations. However, although it appears from the map as though its adoption for housing would have a significant effect on the Green Gap, in reality a site visit will show that, because of its position and land contours, this would not be the case. Using it for housing would be a good use of an untidy and derelict site that is frequently used for fly-tipping.
- site R462M - We are concerned that, following withdrawal of site M9M2 and the possible exclusion of site RN140, virtually all site allocations are now in the south-east of the village, resulting in village imbalance and raising questions about the ability of the proposed new junction with the A6 to handle the (extra) traffic.
