S127 Possible development of land on Bottoms Lane Silverdale
As a regular visitor to this particular area of Silverdale, I was extremely peturbed and confused as to why
this site has been put forward for possible development. The land in question is unsuitable for the
following reasons; Bottoms Lane is a beautiful quiet lane with cottages and barn conversions that are
complimentary to the natural surroundings. Further development would not enhance the area but create
a 'blot' on the landscape. Any development would give the area a 'built up' feeling and would close in the
Lane which is narrow and in poor repair-it cannot cope with extra through traffic.
The site concerned contains trees that are under a preservation order. As a visitor I feel I must protest and make my feelings known.
This site is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and as such should be saved and kept in its original state.
It should not be used for development.
