We object strongly to the proposed developments of the land between Lumley Road and Helsington Laithes. It will spoil the approach into Kendal. It is very nice to see green fields and trees on the approach to Kendal. It will also make the traffic much much worse than it is already. At the present time the traffic in rush hour can be tailed back to the by pass. It would be far worse if this field was developed upon. We also object to this field being used for "High Density Housing/Employment" Whatever that may mean. We could end up with huge factories on our doorstep. When in our opinion all the facilities are at the North end of the Town. We are very concerned regarding the extra sewerage facilities that would be needed, and also the extra water. Would our drains/pipes be able to cope with all this. We doubt it very much. We have seen what has happened in other parts of the town regarding insufficient drainage etc., It can only lead to flooding. Also we understand that there is a proposed development near to Scroges Lane, we understand that this could be for housing, all the same problems would be relevant to that proposal, and we are not in favour of any proposal that would increase the traffic at this end of town. Please forward our strong objections to the Planning Department
