Please make your comments in the box below and refer specifically to the reference number of each site you are commenting on.
Ref Site S127 off Bottoms Lane , Silverdale
Firstly the proposed site is along a narrow country lane with bends. There are many paths which cross the surrounding fields and use short lengths of the lane to connect, it is already hazardous for pedestrians with the current volume of traffic. Access to any housing would increase the vehicles and cause further risk to all road users.
Silverdale is a rural community,this site is located within an AONB, any development here would adversely affect the views from surrounding paths, potentially affect the local wildlife and ecology and cause strain on the limited resources in the village.
What is the point of the designation of Silverdale as an AONB site if development is allowed on green fields.
