5.4ha of land between Colethorpe Lane and Church Road should be allocated for the provision of new homes and expansion of the Primary School.

Support the proposed allocation of site WS009 for residential development.

Objection to the inclusion of site reference WS009. To suggest that a site that was considered inappropriate for 6 dwellings, is suitable for 68 dwellings is beyond comprehension. The site is at the end of a very narrow lane that is, at one end, one way only. To provide access for 68 dwellings would, at the very least, require significant highways infrastructure, and a new access on to the Bury Road at a point where visibility is limited.

Brown & Co have been instructed to submit the following representation on behalf of JW Roberts & Partners in respect of Land south of Haysborder Road, Barrow (site WS226) in light of the current Issues & Options consultation. We previously set out in a response on behalf of our client to the Council’s Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) consultation that the site should not be deferred and it is suitable, available and can achieve 300-400 dwellings.
