Please add your response below, quoting the further proposed main modification reference number or relevant document title including reference to section / page / paragraph: (limit 3000 words)
We are writing with great concern to express our dismay at the plans to further develop Union Lane with no fewer than another 44 houses!
This raises a number of serious issues, not just for the immediate residents but also to those of the surrounding area too.
These serious issues are;
With the loss of the permeable surface to make way for the development, the increase in flood risk to the immediate area and significant impact further down the drainage network too.
The additional traffic to Union Lane, Mowings Lane, Garden Terrace, Stanley Street and Old Hall Road. It is noticeably much busier on these roads since the arrival of the health centre on Stanley Street. To add to that extra traffic from a possible 69 properties is terribly worrying, from a safety point of view. These streets/roads are very narrow and we are very concerned for the safety of the children and the elderly residents in the area.
The suggestion of a one-way system, involving the afore mentioned streets, is absolutely ludicrous. The impact from the noise and traffic pollution on the environment of the surrounding areas, the wildlife and residents well being will be devastating. Not to mention the installation of such a road to accommodate the high volume of traffic on the top of Mowings Lane and the impact that will have on the residents in the surrounding area.
The visual disturbance and its effect on Gill Banks.
The noise and light pollution and the effects on Gill Banks.
The loss of valuable wildlife habitat and the impact on the bats and Tawny owls that depend on the woodland edge in the surrounding area.
Please let common sense prevail and turn this devastating and ridiculous plan down.
Please listen to the people that will be affected, rather than the developers.
As, after all, we are the ones that put you in the position that you hold, to make decisions on our behalf. Please make sure it is the right decision; for the residents, the wildlife, the environment and Ulverston as a whole.
Mr.P.N.Porter, Ms.S.Milligan, Miss.H.J.Porter & Miss.E.R.Porter.
