Please make your comments in the box below and refer specifically to the reference number of each site you are commenting on.
S127 land west of Bottoms Lane
This site should be rejected in the interests of visual amenity and the proper planning of a rural area within an AONB for the following reasons.
The proposed site is a green field beyond the present limits of the established village core. It cannot be considered as either infill or rounding off,
and would lead to increased urbanisation of a rural lane in the heart of Silverdale and within a designated AONB.
Any development would set a precedent encouraging further applications for development of adjacent land as infill which would then be difficult to resist and would lead to ribbon development along the lane.
Nearby barns were sensitively converted within the existing footprints of the buildings to maintain the vernacular integrity of the original farmstead. New development of additional modern buildings would inevitably detract from the character of this quaint farmhouse and outbuildings complex.
The site contains at least one mature tree protected by a TPO and is part of a larger parkscape landscape. Any development would be seriously detrimental to the visual amenity of the landscape and especially the quintessential rural character of Bottoms Lane.
S126 hole 2 Silverdale Golf club
This site should be rejected in the interests of visual amenity and the proper planning of a rural area within an AONB for the following reasons.
The proposed site is grassland and scrub, beyond the present limits of the established village core and of Redbridge hamlet. It cannot be considered as either infill or rounding off, and would lead to increased urbanisation of a rural lane within a designated AONB.
Any development would set a precedent encouraging further applications for development of adjacent land as infill which would then be difficult to resist and could lead to ribbon development .
Nearby cottages and barns have been sensitively converted within the existing footprints of the buildings to maintain their vernacular integrity. New development of additional modern buildings would inevitably detract from the character of the existing hamlet at Redbridge.
B123 Land west of Sandside Lane, Srorth-Arnside
This site should be rejected in the interests of visual amenity and the proper planning of a rural area within an AONB for the following reasons
The proposed site is a green field far beyond the present limits of the established village core of Storth or of Crag Bank hamlet. It cannot be considered as either infill or rounding off, and would lead to increased urbanisation of a rural lane within a designated AONB. In such an isolated exposed location , any development would be seriously detrimental to the visual amenity of the overall landscape
W128 Land rear 1-2 Howard Cottages, Warton
This site should be rejected in the interests of visual amenity and the proper planning of a rural area within an AONB for the following reasons
The proposed site is beyond the present limits of the established village core of Warton leading to increased urbanisation of a rural area within a designated AONB. Any development would not only be visible from the road but also from the nature reserves on Warton Crag and would be seriously detrimental to the visual amenity of the overall landscape
