Representation at Land Allocations in Levens Hearing
I wish to strongly comment and object to SLDC's proposed hearing of Land Allocations in Levens Village and in particular the fact that there is to be a representation to the Inspector by a planning consultant representing the owner of land to the West of Brigsteer Road and East of Hutton Lane, originally designated RN291# (SLDC correspondence 28 July 2011)
Your Mr. Dan Hudson in a letter to Mr. Tim Farron MP 13 September 2011 states,
"Consultation on alternative sites has just ended and the next stage will be to publish a final Land Allocations Development Plan Document in the autumn for formal consultation and submission for independent examination.
Because of the advanced stage we are at ,we can not accept any additional new site suggestions at this stage to go into the land allocation process."
In February 2012 SLDC identified their final choice of two sites to be allocated for development (R51M and RN121M-mod)
There was no reference to site RN291# being included in this choice, the fact is, this site has been removed from SLDC proposals.
Both my wife and I, and I suspect all residents bordering the land now removed (ex RN291#) strongly oppose SLDC allowing a planning consultant to make a representation to the Inspector concerning land no longer included in the SLDC Land Allocation
for Levens.
This land has been withdrawn from the proposals and can not be reintroduced at this stage in the process, long after SLDC ceased to accept nominations of new/alternative sites.
