RESPONSE
ACTION
Silverdale area is not of a sufficient scale or size to say that this will detrimentally damage the environment of the area. Whilst Silverdale is located within the AONB it is a living / working community which needs to cater for its current and future housing needs. Much of the housing which is for sale in the village is of a significant size and value which would preclude many sections of the community from living in the Silverdale area, in particularly younger people. Accepted that housing requirements should be of an appropriate nature, both in type of housing provided and the scale of development. The proposals for 27 dwellings over a 15 year period is reasonable and in proportion with the scale of Silverdale. There is no evidence to suggest that the housing which will be provided will not be appropriate for Silverdale’s needs. Employment opportunities already exist in and around the Silverdale area; affordable housing in the village may well assist people who currently work in the area to also live in the area. Comment noted. Consideration will be given to the suitability,
