Concerns have been raised over plans for 370 new homes in Barrow.
Holker Homes wants to create the development on land to the east of Rakesmoor Lane near Hawcoat.
It would include two- to five-bedroom homes, with 10 per cent designated as affordable.
Since the developer lodged its outline proposal with Westmorland & Furness Council on June 23, 38 objections have been raised.
Concerns include the impact of extra traffic on the single track Rakesmoor Lane, the impact on wildlife, loss of land and pressure on infrastructure.
The proposal includes plans to broaden the road to the south of the site, changing it from 3m to 6m, with a pavement to be added.
Barrow Town Council said that the plans were not sufficient due to the bottleneck on the road with Barrow Golf Club, Holker Old Boys AFC and existing residents nearby.
It added existing infrastructure was not adequate for current residents with a lack of places at schools, doctors, dentists and the hospital, and argued the addition of 370 homes without a wider infrastructure plan would have a significant detrimental impact on the area.
One resident of Rakesmoor Lane described the development as undesirable but inevitable, given the need for housing, but registered grave concerns about the road itself, saying that it should be widened for its whole length, rather than just partially.
The developer’s transport assessment said the estate would be accessible by walking, cycling and public transport, providing a realistic alternative.
It also said it would have a low impact on the highway network.
Sport England objected to the application because of the next-door football club. It said there was a ball-strike risk as balls flying through the air could cause damage and nuisance to people and property.
It requested a ball strike risk assessment and that, if ball strike is identified as an issue, details of any mitigation such as ball stop fencing, the revision of the noise assessment to include matchday noise and evidence that the increase in traffic would not lead to any conflict between the development and sporting facilities.
Lancashire and Cumbria NHS Integrated Care Board, which commissions frontline health services, said the application would have a direct impact on GP services and requested a payment of £287,712 to go towards an extension at Norwood Medical Centre on Abbey Road.
It said that would provide an additional three clinical rooms to absorb the impact of the scheme.
