Allerdale Evidence Base Local Plan 3 Future housing requirements Introduction Principle Service Centre (“PSC”): The Allerdale Core Strategy sets out the target for the number of houses that will need to be delivered over the next plan period (2011- 2026). This target has been arrived at based on up-to-date population, household formation and economic forecasting in addition to: • Potential land availability and known infrastructure capacity. • Past levels of house completions (which give some guide to the capacity of the construction industry to deliver and the level of market demand) • The need to maximise the delivery of affordable housing and to respond to and support growth in the local economy. Proposed settlement hierarchy The Allerdale Core Strategy also sets out how these houses will be distributed spatially throughout the Borough. A map illustrating the geographical dispersal of settlements is included in appendix 1. It is proposed that these dwellings will be distributed within a proposed settlement hierarchy comprising of: Workington Workington has been identified as the Principal Service Centre in recognition of it role as the main housing, employment and retail centre. Key Service Centres (“KSC”): Aspatria Maryport Wigton Cockermouth Silloth Key Service Centres have been designated on the basis that they are the recognised urban centres in the plan area and offer a good range of services.

The aim of this approach is to try and ensure that the smaller rural settlements are retained in the hierarchy to allow small scale infill development that can contribute to the sustainability of these communities. Proposed distribution of housing growth The Core Strategy seeks to ensure that the majority of development will be located in the existing urban centres that provide the best range of services, employment opportunities and access to public transport. This is considered to be the most sustainable approach as it maximises the use of existing physical, utility and social infrastructure and also reduces the need to travel. However it is considered that the smaller rural settlements should have the opportunity to accommodate small-scale infill development where appropriate. This is essential if they are to remain sustainable and to address some of SHLAA: Main Report 8
