Reference MM072U - Amend Development Plan Boundary to incorporate site RN193 in Ulverston
To my district council,
I write to make my objection known regarding this proposed amendment to the development plan boundary. For me, like many people in Ulverston, Gill banks is a site for relaxing, an out-of-town picnic site situated within easy reach. I believe our remaining open watercourses should be kept open and untouched for the benefit of wildlife and for the associated human mental health benefits. This includes not having peoples windows and gardens overlooking the site. A quiet place like that is worth much more to the people of Ulverston than any developer's pockets.
Perhaps if the proposed development was earmarked as low-impact, and driven by people who want to enhance the natural surroundings with new trees, wildflower gardens etc, rather than concrete over it, with the serenity of gill banks protected, I would change my mind.
Thankyou for your time and public service, and best wishes,
Simon Kirkwood
