Portinscale - Excluded Site Assessments (PDF) - Lake District ...

Open Space: Support: 0 Object: 0 Don't mind: 0
Site is accessed via a private, single track lane which has restricted visibility at its junction with
the highway. The track and junction will need improvement in order to accommodate the
development. Alternatively access would need to be via X1061 (should it be allocated).
Cumulative impact of housing and employment sites within Portinscale could impact upon the
junctions between the A66 and the local road network within the settlement.
