Please make your comments in the box below and refer specifically to the number of each site / policy you are commenting on.
I have a comment related to the proposal of 16 dwellings on land north of 17 Main St., Warton.
I am concerned about the potential increase in traffic from additional homes particularly coming into Warton just past Sand Lane. There is a corner with limited visibility for both cars and pedestrians, and no pavement, so that pedestrians are forced to walk on the road. Few drivers heed the 20 mph speed limit as it is, and an increase in traffic increases safety risks.
An alternative is to incorporate a pedestrian footpath behind the existing buildings on the farmland that has already received planning permission for housing, although that does not assist access to the houses that already exist in that stretch of road.
Thank you for your consideration.
