The
Grizebeck bypass has now been moved to the Capital Works team
with a September deadline for consultation to take place when it
then moves to Planning. Parish Councillors have been assured that
the public will be fully consulted in these planning stages. Local
landowners are currently being approached for access on to their land prior
to geological surveys taking place.
Safety
measures for the A5902 between Gawthwaite and the Mousetrap (Bank End), have
been proposed for the next financial year which include 40/50 speed limits
and ‘no overtaking’ road markings.

National Grid's Proposals |

for some time the groups set up to object to the proposals are still
operating in the best interests of the local communities. Recently the nopylons
group have released a summary of their suggestions to have the power
transported from Moorside offshore. To read their full proposals access
their web site at www.nopylons.co.uk |

Housing development adjacent to
Burlington School |
|
|
Following the Public Engagement Exercise held at Burlington
School and the Community Centre it was clear that flood risk, and in
particular overland flow, was a concern of the community. Because of this
the developer's engineers have taken the design of the scheme further than
they ordinarily would for a planning application, in order that they could
demonstrate to the community and the Local Planning Authority that there
is a solution that works. The scheme designs are being finalised, as
well as amendments to the landscaping in response to comments from the
community (principally the beefing up of the planting along the northern
boundary to the site). The application for the development will be
submitted shortly.
