AS23-SF6 Whinney Fold Silverdale. I oppose this proposal.
The AONB DPD Draft proposal is a positive and dynamic document covering all aspects of development in our very special, sensitive area. This should therefore be the definitive reference point for any planning applications within the AONB.
The above application goes against the ethos and spirit of the said Draft Plan.
My objections are thus:
The preservation of the distinctive quality and tranquility of the landscape would be absolutely damaged . This is a peaceful,green,rolling valley. Permission for 6 new dwellings is unacceptable. Builders rarely settle for so few dwellings more will follow. It is the opening up of a site which they require.
Access/ visibility to this site is poor for the existing properties. Parking on Shore Rd exacerbates this.
The site proposed is low- lying and prone to flooding. This impacts on current septic drainage tanks which overfolw onto the foreshore.
Do you have any comments to make on the Draft Sustainability Appraisal Report or Habitats Regulations Report associated with the Draft DPD?
The site is immediately behind the Silverdale Shore an important wildlife site.
