Carlisle District Local Plan 2001 - 2016 Revised Redeposit draft8.39 Currently in Carlisle there is a cluster of doctors’ surgeries in the Warwick Road area, whichmay not be easy to get to for those living out of the centre, or with mobility problems.Although there are surgeries in a number of neighbourhoods, including a recently openedmedical centre at Carleton, there are no facilities in Lowry Hill, Botcherby, DentonHolme, Currock or the Belle Vue area. There is therefore a need for more localised branchsurgeries.POLICY LC14 Carleton ClinicDuring the period of this plan it is likely that additional land will become surplus torequirements at the National Health Trust Carleton Clinic at Garlands. Proposals fordevelopment will be considered in accordance with other policies of this plan. Concernover the volume of traffic generated by developments in the vicinity of the site will haveto be taken into account in any proposals.Mitigation: The policy should identify the need for any development to take into account thepotential effects on biodiversity and the character/quality of the surrounding landscapeand countryside. (See Policy LE1)8.40 Carleton Clinic is situated to the south east of the City. Part of the existing site is consideredto be surplus to requirements and a longer term development strategy is required. The areahas seen an influx of new residential property but support services and facilities have notbeen developed. A mixed use scheme may be appropriate for this site concentrating on reuseof the existing built form.8.41 The redevelopment of Garlands hospital site and adjacent land for residential use hasalso led to a number of minor roads being used to relieve additional traffic pressures. Anyproposals for redevelopment of the Carleton Clinic site must take into account traffic flowsand impact on the local network through production of a transport assessment.POLICY LC15 Percent for ArtThe City Council will require the provision of works of Public Art when dealing withapplications for development schemes that will have a significant visual impact.Developers will usually be expected to allocate a minimum of 1% of their constructioncosts for the inclusion of Public Art. This money should fund the provision of art in apublicly accessible/visible place or incorporated within the development itself.The following indicates the threshold for the requirement:1. housing developments of 20 dwellings or over; and/or2. development of 1000sq. metres and over; and/or3. development in a prominent location or on a major transport route.8.42 In 1989 the Arts Council of Great Britain initiated the ‘Percentage for Arts’ campaign toencourage developers to devote a percentage of their capital costs to the provision of newworks of Public Art in, on or around their buildings.8.43 This policy aims to increase the provision of Public Art in the Carlisle District promotingpublic involvement in the arts and helping to improve and enhance the environment. PublicArt can help enrich a development adding visual interest as well as drawing people to thearea through the creation of a pleasant environment. The inclusion of such schemes can136 September 2006
Carlisle District Local Plan 2001 - 2016 Revised Redeposit drafthelp add value through improving the marketability of new developments, raising publicawareness and enhancing public open spaces.8.44 Public Art can include the provision of stand alone pieces of art, functioning elements onbuildings or in public places or temporary works, crafts and community-based works, thechoice of art provision will depend upon the type of development proposed.8.45 The Council will seek the provision of Public Art to be secured through planning obligationsand conditions, with the developer ideally making a commitment to involve local artistsfrom the outset of the project. It may be considered more appropriate on large sites withseveral related developments, for the developers to provide the requisite sum in the formof a commuted payment enabling the commission of one significant work of art in place ofseveral smaller pieces.PROPOSAL LC16 Recreational Land Proposals/Allocations1. Primary Leisure Areas - MortonLand within the south west Morton area is allocated as a Primary Leisure Areaand will be developed as open space and safeguarded from inappropriatedevelopment.2. Land to the north of California Road is proposed to be designated for Allotments.This is a new site designation and could replace existing allotments in the Cityoffering better facilities, should the need arise.3. Land rear of Ellesmere WayAllocation of land for public open space until development of land to the southwest of Morton at which time the designation of land will be reviewed whenadditional open space in the vicinity has been provided.8.46 Land allocations to the south west of Morton include land allocated as Primary LeisureAreas. It is intended that this land will serve both as functional open space for futuredevelopments and as landscaped buffers between the different allocations.8.47 The landscaping and development of the open space, in particular the necessary structurallandscaping, will need to be undertaken at an early stage in the development process. Thelandscaping should integrate the open space with the surrounding countryside.8.48 It is envisaged that the open space will be predominantly parkland, with a range ofleisure and sporting facilities provided, including a sports pitch within this to serve thenew residential area. The allocated Primary Leisure Area shown on the Proposals Map isintended as an indicative representation. Further guidance on the scale and type of openspace is set out in Supplementary Planning Guidance which has been produced for thearea.8.49 Contributions from developers towards the cost of developing the open space will beexpected. This will be secured through a legal agreement.September 2006 137
