Proposed Development at Heversham
1 It is out of proportion to the size of the village i e 79 new dwellings
to a total of 220 existing houses . The appearance of the village would be
adversely affected.
2 There are no shops or medical services in the village. Car traffic to
Milnthorpe would be greatly increased.
3 Woodhouse Lane in particular is completely inadequate to cope with the
increased traffic. For most of its length it is wide enough for one car only
and passing another car always involves manoeuvring.
4 It is difficult to see where the demand for the new houses is to come
from - there are no jobs to support these numbers.
