The description contained in section 20 of option 3 I find misleading and I assume the location shown on the plan is the correct one. The land should best be described as to the east of the Hospital along Oxenholme Road.
This area was considered by the Inspector looking at objections in respect of the South Lakeland Local Plan Alteration No1 (2002) when Oxenholme Road was described as unsuitable for further traffic volumes. I do not believe anything has changed to counter this view; rather the lower part of Oxenholme Road and Kendal Parks Road is increasingly used as a shortcut to avoid congestion in the town centre.
What change(s) would you suggest for this part of the Report?
Remove the reference to this area.
Or failing that provide an accurate description of the location of the site and refer to the fact that this area has been the subject of a previous Inspector ruling

The development of this parcel of land for industrial/employment purposes was the principle reason for objections to the South Lakeland Local Plan Alteration No1 (2002). Those objections were upheld by the subsequent Inquiry. I can see no reason to suggest that the conditions have altered sufficiently to allow for further consideration of the same proposal.
What change(s) would you suggest for this part of the Report?
Remove references to development of this area of land from the report
Please use this space if you wish to set out a new option for consideration.
Designate the whole of the vacant land between Kendal and Oxenholme as a Green Gap
