Please make your comments below on the section you have selected. Where appropriate, make reference to the paragraph number you are referring to, your preferred option, the question number asked in the Discussion Paper and the reference number of the site you are commenting on.
B75---- THIS SITE/LAND AT DEEPDALE ,SLACKHEAD, HAS SINCE 1821 ,RE PARLIAMENTARY ENCLOSURE AWARD AND CONFIRMED BY THE ORDNANCE SURVEY RECORD BOOK IN THE 1860`S, AND BY THE INLAND REVENUE IN 1912, AS BELONGING TO WESTMORLAND COUNCIL, BUT RECENTLY ANNEXED BY DALLHAM ESTATE BEEN OF OPEN ACCESS TO THE PARISHIONERS OF BEETHAM PARISH FOR THAT 150 YEARS, AND I ASK FOR IT TO BE DESIGNATED AS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, FOR THAT CONTINUED PURPOSE.
B80---THIS SITE /LAND WEST OF KEASDALE RD, CARR BANK, STORTH,HAS SINCE 1821 [AS IN THE SAME CRITERIA OF B75] BEEN OF OPEN ACCESS TO THE PARIS HONERS OF BEETHAM PARISH AND I ASK FOR IT TO BE DESIGNATED AS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, FOR THAT CONTINUED PURPOSE.
Dallham Estate who have very recently annexed the sites are proposing development on them in the current development plan, which is being opposed by Beetham Parish Council.
The historical documentation referred to is currently held at Kendal Record Office, and I have in my possession copies of them.
They both have customary footpaths crossing them which are well used by parishioners, and to this point in time this has not been attempted to be curtailed by the Estate.
Regards
Bob Pickup
