Policy Reference
AS18(part of A9) - Land on Hollins Lane, Arnside
1.1 Do you consider the AONB DPD to be legally compliant?
Yes
1.3 Do you consider the AONB DPD to be sound?
No
1.4 If NO please indicate the ground(s) on which you consider the DPD to be unsound
The DPD is not effective
1.5 Please give details of why you consider the DPD is not legally compliant or is unsound or fails to comply with the Duty to Cooperate. Please be as precise as possible.
If you wish to support the legal compliance or soundness of the DPD or its compliance with the Duty to Cooperate, please also use this box to set out your comments.
I believe that the DPD has not had regard to national planning policy in that a new development accessed from a country track thus creating a crossroads, constitutes urbanisation of a rural area.
I believe that the DPD is not positively prepared as repeated warnings about the safety of this site have been ignored. Hollins Lane is shown as a track on the OS map and is without any form of pedestrian walkways apart from a short stretch at the top. It is the oldest track in the village and the narrowest. Thorough risk assessments and traffic surveys need to be carried out.
The plans for the new development on Hollins lane again have failed to take into account the current situation in relation to traffic use. The road is very narrow and is not only used my residents but many who use the road as a through road. Please note that traffic has increased considerably since the site was first put forward several years ago.
There are no passing spaces on the road which requires drivers and pedestrians to pull into residents private driveways to allow others to pass.
There is abundance of wildlife that inhabits the hedgerow and dry stone walls including newts and bats. I believe that the AONB DPD is unsound because it does not protect wild species of flora and fauna or their habitats. I am also unaware of any survey that has been carried out regarding the flora and fauna of this area.
There are also problems with drainage which will be exacerbated if the field is developed.
1.6 Please set out what modification(s) you consider necessary to resolve your objection and make the DPD legally compliant or sound, having regard to the matter(s) you have identified above. (Please note that any non-compliance with the Duty to Cooperate is incapable of modification at examination). You will need to say why this modification will make the DPD legally compliant or sound. It will be helpful if you are able to put forward your suggested revised wording of any policy or text. Please be as precise as possible.
Please use a wider road that has adequate pavements and room for two cars to pass without endangering pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Using the Field on Hollins Lane is completely unsuitable for any development that would add to the traffic that currently uses the road.
