Silverdale - part of S50
Please use the box below to make your comments.
My comments:
1) Although the site is fairly small i.e. tucked down at the bottom of the field near existing dwellings, to allow house building would be the erosion of the natural landscape. In particular, the view towards the Howgills and the intervening landscape would be interrupted. This is after all, within a designated area of outstanding natural beauty.
2) To allow just a small portion of the field to be built upon would be the tip of the iceberg. In future years it would be likely that there would be more applications for development.
3) There are at any time in Silverdale properties for sale. People vacate their homes through death or to move to live near to relatives.
4) Silverdale is at its optimum size as a viable village due to house building in the past which includes the development of Cove Drive and Birch Drive in the 1960s presumably and then St. John's Avenue in the 1970s. It doesn't need to be bigger.
