I write concerning the Development Plan document with regard to B.32. I assume that access to this area would be via Mill Lane. Some 20 plus years ago when the Parsonage Fold development was Carried out access to this was via Mill Lane and under the Third Schedule of our deeds the residents are required to pay on demand one twelfth of liability to pay for the maintenance and repair of Mill Lane. At that time use was limited to the twelve residents and very occasional use by Farmers and access to filter beds at the end of the lane. Use was massively increased when the Heron Corn Mill was developed by a large Heritage Lottery Grant though in a letter of 9-6-14 theHeritage Lottery fund confirm that access via Mill Lane was not known to be a Public Bridelway and maintenance arrangements were also not known. The level of this increase was such that up to 300 cars a day have been recorded together with coaches and delivery wagons. At present a proposed car park would give further wear and tear and access to development of B32 would be a totally unacceptable liability to us. These additional uses have also given very real and frequent concerns regarding the safety of pedestrians children and animals who use this Public Bridelway,matters raised with our M.P. And Beetham Parish Council and continue to this day. A further concern,should B32 be developed is that the pastoral scene from our home would be severely compromised.For the above reasons I would not support change of use of this area of land.
