Future development on greenbelt should always be seriously considered. Secondly in support of not allowing the Yew Tree site to go ahead i feel there should always be a buffer between an existing Industrial Estate/site and residential properties.

I think its self explanatory "profits for landowners and developers is the priority"
The housing targets within Policy SP1 have been based on an objective
assessment of needs and delivery and reflect past delivery rates and the current
condition of the housing market. While Skelmersdale has not delivered large
amounts of housing through the height of the credit crunch, it should also be
noted that neither has Ormskirk, in spite of their being a large number of
outstanding planning permissions in Ormskirk over the past few years, therefore
if we are to base delivery of housing on what has happened over the past few
years, very little housing should be targeted for delivery across the Borough. In
addition, with regard to the sites allocated for housing in and around
Skelmersdale, half of the housing will be delivered on greenfield sites on the
edge of Skelmersdale with Up Holland that are very attractive to the housing
market, and so are expected to be built out fairly quickly

I am 26 an very upset to see how things have changed through the years which I understand things do, but why target such beautiful areas it happens all the time an there are not many green spaces left unfortunately, knock down old property's or do up the run down ones before setting foot on the last remaining areas of beautiful green land we have left. Please think about how built up England will be in 5 to 10 yrs time, it needs to be saved for future children to know what land actually is, if people wanted to live in a built up area I think they would move to one, the residents in the area live there because it is the country they are there for that reason.

People's gardens are generally just as good for the environment as farmland. What's the problem with more of the country being gardens. What's so special about fields with nothing in them most of the time.
