Dear Sir /Madam,
Having attended the Draft Plan Consultation Meeting at Arnside E.I in November, I was reasonably heartened by what I heard. A lot of time and effort had gone into deciding the most appropriate sites for development within the AONB. There are still several controversial sites remaining - Whinneyfold at Silverdale being such an example - but overall I felt a lot of progress had been made.
It was therefore with a great deal of concern, that I heard about a possible new site in Silverdale, in the bottom section of the field that runs from Clarence House to the back of St Johns Church.
If this land were to be considered it would contravene everything that we associate with sensible development in an AONB.
It is Greenfield.
It is highly visible.
it would seriously impact on traffic/ safety, in what is already a very busy area....access would be near the school.
It would have significant sewerage issues.
It has limestone bands running across it.
It has a prominent mature tree in the section where the building is proposed.
ETC................!
Furthermore a development of this size is not needed in the Village.
Even before plans are submitted, I urge the Planning Department/Officers, to reject this proposal outright.
Thank you.
Jane Lambert.

Development of land at Whinneyfol, Silverdale.
Once again I find myself commenting on Greenfield Developments in an AONB.
I had hoped that after all the recent consultations, this type of development would no longer 'rear its ugly head'.
I object to this development on the following grounds - in no particular order;
1. It is a 'Greenfield' site and is set in an attractive little valley. Is this not the very thing the AONB wants to protect?
2. Drainage is very poor. The land floods in heavy rain.
3. Sewerage would be a significant issue. It is already a problem in the Village as we have septic tanks.
4. Access is poor, and there would be safety implications.
5.It would cause significant intrusion on existing properties.
6. Development here, could lead to further development at a later date - despite what has been said about a barrier!!!!I
I am not against development on 'brownfield sites', with existing infrastructure. There are places in Silverdale that 'fit this description'. It is up to the Planning Authority to make sure the appropriate housing is built on these Sites - houses that meet the needs of the Village!
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Are there any other topics or issues that you wish to raise?
Nothing new to raise. thank you.
Do you have any comments to make on the Draft Sustainability Appraisal Report or Habitats Regulations Report associated with the Draft DPD?
No thank you.
