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 Silverdale.
If the primary purpose of the AONB is to preserve the natural beauty of our area then this site should be rejected.
This area features outstanding views west over a unique limestone,pastoral landscape. It includes rare and precious habitats.
The mature oak tree within the site is protected and forms part of a wider area of mature preserved oaks.
Bottoms Farm/ Barns has a distinct, vernacular character. Including a listed farmhouse with associated cluster of stone built agricultural buildings ( now converted).
The site is off a narrow ,unlit lane with poor sight-lines and access. There is no footway.
Development is not appropriate as it is a distance from core amenities ie transport and shops.
