I have read the guidance notes
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 positively prepared
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. Various hazards mean there is a
moderate risk of injury to road users.
There is abundance of wildlife that inhabit the hedgerow and dry stone walls including newts and bats.
I am unaware of any survey that has been carried out regard the flora and fauna of this area.
There are also problems with drainage which will be exacerbated if the field is developed.
Please note that traffic has increased considerably since the site was first put forward several years ago, the lane has become a fast cut through.
This proposed development should not take place. Open areas form a very important part of Arnside character particularly on this intensively developed hillside viewed from many aspects.
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.
Using the Field on Hollins Lane is completely unsuitable for any development that would add to the traffic
that currently use the road. Please use a wider road that has adequate pavements and room for two cars to
pass without endangering pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

Yes, I wish to participate at the oral examination
