Dear sir
Policy LA1.1 and Flookburgh Policies Map
SLDC have not given due consideration to amending the development boundary to enable a small parcel of land at Fieldgate off Allithwaite Road Flookburgh your ref: IE/2012/0236 to be developed to meet a local need.
The role of the Allocations DPD is to identify and allocate sites for development and to carry out a review of development boundaries. I submitted this site for consideration for residential development approx. 2 years ago when SLDC were searching for sites to be included in the Strategic Housing Land Availability Study. The site was below the threshold SLDC set for inclusion in the study so was not considered for a formal allocation due to its small scale. However, dialogue has taken place via telephone and correspondence with SLDC to try and enable development of this small piece of land. I will forward copies of correspondence and a map of the site this representation relates to by post.
SLDC have failed to consider a review of the development boundary using the criteria set out in paragraph 2.2 of the Allocations DPD in relation to this small parcel of land, particularly by applying the third criterion which states “including small infill or rounding off sites” to amend the development boundary. It appears that development boundaries have only been amended to allow the formal allocation of larger sites being proposed by SLDC. This site should be included within the development boundary for Flookburgh to enable a small development to be undertaken to meet a local need.
your faithfully
Mrs Helen Manning
