I strongly agree that the DPD is sound, as it closely follows the rationale for the existence of the AONB, with its clear concerns for the natural habitat in relation to development and the conservation of the landscape. I am surprised that this is the first such AONB DPD in England, but suspect it will be followed by others. Locally it has encouraged the community to become more involved in the sensitive development of their area. I fully support Para.1.2.5 for this reason, and indeed, the entire document.
In our village of Silverdale we have been concerned by the effects on the ground water caused by large developments since we have no mains drainage in the village. The recent heavy rainfall has caused a recurrence of the flooding in the area behind Whinney Fold which had been considered for development until a review of the drainage, sewage,landscape impact, biodiversity, and pedestrian safety concerns ruled it out. I was personally greatly encouraged by one of the planners at a local meeting, who mentioned a previous submission of mine about a specific pedestrian safety problem in Whinney Fold caused by the proposed access road. It is clear - and very comforting - to realise the planners do read all the submissions, consider them, and act upon them if appropriate!
