Responses to Land Allocations - Examination Stage - Updated Main Modifications
Response from Ms Beverley White (Individual)

Please add your response below, quoting the main modification reference number: (limit 3000 words)
Dear Sir/Madam,
In response to Proposed amendments to SLDC’s
Land Allocation Development Plan Document (LADPD)

I note from SLDC ‘s Framework Land Allocations Development Plan Document, fact file the following statement,

The attractiveness of the area and proximity to major towns has resulted in pressures to expand the historic villages; this may continue in order to support housing and economic growth. Ensure new developments respect the scale, traditional form and materials of villages and do not infill important open spaces such as orchards and gardens integral to their character. Enhance settlements through sensitive environmental improvements to village greens, ponds, lakes and other features.

It seems SLDC is set to destroy the attractiveness of the area with a stretch of urban sprawl likely to take away important requirements wildlife around us. Development of any kind has far reaching demands, Grange over Sands will not be able to cope without even more development to help it do so.

What about a plan to build another B road through the Cartmel valley and relieve some of the
traffic build up through the centre of Grange? create a proper urban area.

Better public transport is of great importance in an urban area.

A secondary school will probably be needed in an urban area.

This area at present can be described as rural in another 25 years the balance between urban and
rural will have vanished, we need to preserve as much as possible now, instead of constantly changing the rules and allowing developers to get away as much as they can. I hope SLDC are
looking carefully at those areas likely to flood from run-off as more land becomes covered.

But never mind builders rule the country we have to accept this.

Yours faithfully,
B.White
