Re MM003,
Regarding the council's duty to co-operate, in December2012, SLDC came to agreement with Eden and Carlisle to have a M6 corridor initiative. This agreement does not appear to have been taken on board by the plan, in fact in para 2.49 it specifically excludes further development at junction 36.
Re MM003 together with MM033(LA2.8)
The duty to co-operate has not been reflected in the planning brief for R 129M - land to the south of Underbarrow Road. Although it makes provision for a transport assessment, there is no requirement in the brief to co-ordinate with SLDC's E33, LDNP'S KFO1W and Cumbria's plan to relocate the Household Waste Recycling Centre to Kendal Fell. Throughout the allocations procedure there has been a vagueness and lack of transparency regarding the cumulative affects of all these proposals and these need to be clarified. The Aecom evidence was at best a superficial rubber stamping of Cumbria's findings and doesn't give an answer as to how E33 can be accessed without getting in the way of the LDNP allocation and Cumbria's HWRC proposals.
The LDNP plans require a transport assessment to accompany a planning application.
I would suggest a sensible way forward would be to have a joint transport assessment agreed by all the stakeholders and for this requirement to be included in the plan.
MM024,
Policy LA1.3 R129m - land south of Underbarrow Road- it would appear that this allocation has moved from phase 2 to phase 1 without any evidence or explanation as to why .
