Please make your comments in the box below and refer specifically to the reference number of each site you are commenting on.
Extra Sites Consultation: Arnside & Silverdale AONB DPD
I refer to the consultation received on 29 March 2016 for comment on the additional site suggestions submitted to South Lakeland District Council in response to the Issues and Options consultation in December 2015.
We have no comments to make on specific sites put forward at this stage other than to request that the sequential test is applied during the site selection process so as to ensure new development is steered away from areas of flood risk.
The Environment Agency’s Flood Map will be updated in the coming months to incorporate information gathered from the flooding events in December 2015.
Yours sincerely
