01/08/2016 Planning Appendix 1 KTC Planning Committee Meeting 23rd May 2016 Comments Relating to Item 13 on Planning Appendix 1 – Land Adjacent to Underbarrow Road, Kendal (Ref 0413)

Members of the Planning Committee discussed the application in depth following public participation.

Councillor Finch proposed that the application be rejected and that the Committee recommend to SLDC that it be refused. Principal reasons for this decision being as follows:

Particular concerns over:

• The shortage of affordable housing. • The relatively poor design (especially those properties on land fronting Underbarrow Road)

on this very functional development on a sensitive approach to Kendal.

Continued concerns over:

• Contamination. • Surface water clearance. • Potential loss of amenity to certain properties. • Travel and transport considerations.

Members also remained concerned about issues highlighted in Councillor J Robinson’s email of 18th April 2016 to Fiona Clark of SLDC.

The proposal was seconded by Councillor Oldham and carried unanimously.

RESOLVED

That application 13 on Appendix 1 for development of land adjacent to Underbarrow Road, Kendal be refused.
