Carlisle District Local Plan 2001 - 2016 Revised Redeposit draftDP2Within the Caldewgate/Shaddongate/Willowholme area employment uses will be keyalong with development of the university sector. The need for a strategic flood riskassessment will influence the detailed redevelopment of this area along with its gatewayrole and proximity to the City centre. (Deleted as not a top priority for regenerationand unlikely to be taken up by university sector, still covered by the last sentence of thepolicy should a further scheme be pursued)In Carlisle South area a combination of residential improvements/redevelopment,increasing employment opportunities and environmental improvements will bedeveloped to address local needs.In the rural area work on Longtown Market Town Initiative action plan will be supportedwhere this addresses local needs. In other rural parishes, parish plans will be taken intoaccount when considering proposals for development where they are consistent with theoverall plan strategy and policies.Consideration will be given to new schemes arising during the Plan period as wellas where strategies are being progressed at the start of the plan period. In particularproposals that can demonstrate a regenerative effect will be favourably considered.Proposals must be able to demonstrate a positive impact by nature of their holisticapproach and be based on sound sustainable development principles. In addition theymust not compromise any strategic proposals or masterplanning.Mitigation: need to identify that the development of brownfield sites needs to considerthe effects on: protected species and important habitats, Hadrian’s Wall, conservationareas and other sites, features and areas of archaeological importance; trafficmovements within the centre of Carlisle. This would be achieved through policies CP1,CP15-16, LE2-LE4, LE6-12, LE20.2.27 Regeneration has been an important dimension to Carlisle sustaining its current subregionalrole with major schemes, such as The Lanes Shopping Centre and Kingmoor ParkRegional Investment Site. Previous schemes have included housing renewal schemes in partsof Carlisle.2.28 Recent schemes have focussed on heritage with Heritage Economic Regeneration Schemesin the City Centre and Longtown. In addition the Market Town Initiative project at Longtownand surrounding parishes has focussed on regenerating the rural economy, post Foot andMouth which had a major impact on local people. This is being supported through someproposals in the Local Plan.2.29 The City Council has a number of schemes currently underway which will come intooperation during the Plan period.

The Sure Start programme in Carlisle South is an initial phaseof future activity for regeneration within the wards of Botcherby, Currock, Harraby andUpperby. An overall scheme will be developed during the Plan period. Additional areas willbe considered as necessary during the Plan period.2.30 Since the floods of January 2005 the requirement for regeneration work has focussedattention on those areas worst affected by the floods.

Carlisle District Local Plan 2001 - 2016 Revised Redeposit draftdistrict, the Willowholme/Caldewgate/ Shaddongate area and the Rickergate areas affectedCarlisle’s economic, civic and emergency services. Redevelopment plans for these areas willbe progressed during the early stages of this plan’s implementation.Insert additional paragraphsCarlisle Renaissance is a partnership approach to taking forward regeneration ofCarlisle following the floods. Three central areas within Carlisle have been identifiedfor transformational redevelopment. The approach to these sites and benefits from theirredevelopment will be spread out district wide. Detailed briefs will be prepared for theseareas. In the Rickergate area the driver will be retail building upon the strong retail rolethe city centre already performs. There will be the opportunity for a mix of uses includingoffices, hotel and residential development. The site’s prominence when approaching theCity Centre from the north will need to be taken into account in any design.Viaduct Estate Road hosts a mix of uses on the western fringes of the City Centre. Thearea is underutilised and provides opportunity to re-examine the long-term use of thearea. A key site for access to the city centre from the west it also hosts a significantbackdrop of the Cathedral and West Walls. Opportunities for office, retail and residentialdevelopment will be considered in this area.The Citadel area already contains a mix of City Centre uses. Varying land levels and olderbuildings provide the opportunity for reconfiguration of land uses. Proposals for city centreuses will be considered along with the enhancement of the public realm and transportproposals.Proposals for regeneration involving the reuse of vacant, underused or derelict land willbe judged on the contribution they make to the following: urban form; design; impact onlandscape/townscape; impact on the environment; infrastructure; business development;community development; employment and lifelong learning; and, any overarchingframework for the area. In addition proposals must comprise mixed-use development withnon-residential development provided in early phases to ensure economic regeneration ofthe area.POLICY DP3 Carlisle AirportProposals for development at Carlisle Airport will be supported where they arerelated to airport activities and in scale with the existing infrastructure and minimiseany adverse impact on the surrounding environment. Proposals for larger scaleredevelopment to facilitate an improved commercial operation will have to takeinto account the impact of development on uses outside the perimeter of the airportincluding nature conservation interests, the historic environment including Hadrian’sWall World Heritage Site, the existing highway network and road safety. A strategicemployment site has been allocated in Proposal EC20.Mitigation: need to identify that Carlisle airport must consider the effect on landscapecharacter and surrounding countryside, access to the airport. (See policies CP1, CP15,CP16)2.31 A draft development brief was prepared in 1999 to look at the future requirementsfor airport and related development. Since the preparation of the brief the airport hastransferred ownership from the City Council. In addition, the Department of Transport hasSeptember 2006 21
