Union Lane fields

To the Development Plans Manager,
I would like to object to the re classification and possible subsequent development of two fields near Union Lane and Gill Banks , Ulverston.
I live near these fields and have many concerns about any further development in this area. Since the development on Union Lane has begun the volume of traffic in this area has increased changing what was a quiet safe place to a collection of busy and dangerous roads. This is a great concern as there is a childrens park and sheltered housing complex nearby making it more difficult for these vulnerable groups to negotiate the roads any further development would lead to an unacceptably dangerous situation. Acess to this area is limited the small roads not designed for large volumes of traffic creating significant safety issues and a huge disruption witin this small quiet area of the community. I also have concerns about the habitas in the area I hear many Tawny owls calling in an evening and watch the bats that roost in the area flying around any further disruption would be severley detrimental to the wildlife living here that depend on not only on the security and seclusion of the woodland habitat but need the green belt fields to feed and support their communities.Greenspace locally is limited and the destruction of this is worrying. I understand that a development of this nature also increases the flood risk .

I hope you will take time to review these concerns.

Jayne O'Neill, Ulverston.
