Please add your response below, quoting the main modification reference number: (limit 3000 words)
Response from Allan Steward (on behalf or Levens Residents Group Committee), with reference to the Main Modifications proposed for Levens under ref. MM072, re. site RN121M-mod (Former Poultry Sheds, Brigsteer Road, Levens), and green space at Lane Foot. i.e., to delete proposed allocation of RN121M-Mod for 23 houses. In view of the facts that the mod regarding RN121M-Mod is acceptable to nearby residents &SLDC has not proposed a replacement site in Levens for the 23 houses proposed for RN121M-mod, we support the proposed modification.
We also, in principle, support the proposal to amend the map to show the correct boundaries of the green space at Lane Foot. However, as we are not sure exactly which land is currently not in the area represented on the map as the green space, we add this qualification to our support - that the correction should not make appropriate redevelopment of the disused carpet warehouse (site RN123) unviable, if, for example a small amount of extra space, for use as parking, would make the difference. We see a possibility that the village could be left with a permanent eyesore if access to the site is too restricted, and think that this might be the case if a formal change to, or confirmation of its status, alienates the adjacent space in perpetuity.
