Carlisle District Local Plan 2001 - 2016 Revised Redeposit draft4.75 The development of a Central Hub will enable much needed facilities to cater for businessdevelopment and support services within such a large employment area. It is intended thatsuch uses will consist of lunchtime facilities e.g. small convenience store, café, a publichouse/restaurant, petrol filling station, crèche, and overnight facilities such as a hotel forbusiness users which will also be able to offer conferencing and associated leisure facilities.4.76 The production of a development guide/masterplan will help to phase the developmentinto the existing estate and provide structural landscaping and transport measures foran integrated approach to the site’s development. The Masterplan will facilitate theinfrastructure and layout of the site to enable the strategic allocation to be brought forwardin phases whilst reserving the Regional Investment Site for development post 2011. This willform an SPD and will be adopted by the Council.Land to the south west of Morton4.77 This site comprises approximately 12 hectares of agricultural land bordered to thesouth west by Peter Lane and the north west by Wigton Road. This land is well relatedto the proposed Northern Relief Road, linking the A595 to junction 44 of the M6. Thedevelopment of this land will help to redress the imbalance of employment land allocations,most of which are currently concentrated in the north and east of the City. The developmentof this area provides an ideal opportunity to integrate the employment development withadjacent residential and retail development that is well related to public transport routesand provides opportunities for walking or cycling to work. As such, the allocation isconsistent with advice in paragraph 3.5 of PPG 13. The development of the site will requirestructural landscaping to provide a high quality edge to the City in design terms, and soavoid the harsh edge currently presented by the Morton Estate.4.78 The City Council has prepared a comprehensive development brief and Masterplan toguide all proposals for the south west Morton area and establish overall developmentprinciples, co-ordination of infrastructural provision and phasing arrangements. The briefidentifies a requirement for structural landscaping of the employment site to be implementedat an early stage in the development process. An environmental assessment undertaken forthe employment area indicates a layout to improve pedestrian and public transport accessto the employment site.Borderway, Rosehill4.79 Rosehill Industrial Estate has been a popular location for a number of mixed uses andis dominated by the agricultural businesses particularly the auction mart. Additionalfacilities are required to help support local businesses. In order to develop the area morecomprehensively and expand existing businesses additional land is allocated for B1 officedevelopment. This will provide for much needed specific office space in the City as well asimprovements for Rosehill businesses with hotel and fitness centre, nursery and restaurant. Itwill also help to address local employment issues as it is located within walking distance ofmany residents in the Carlisle South area.Land South of Park Road4.80 Land to the south of Park Road is allocated for a premier pedigree livestock centre inorder to develop the existing Borderway Mart. Rosehill Industrial Estate has developed asan agri-business estate and the relocation of this facility on a nearby site is considered themost suitable location. The allocation is therefore for this specific use rather than a general68 September 2006

The additional site will help to address parking issues in the area whenlivestock is being transported but a transport assessment will be required to consider theeffects of this development on the network including the A69 and M6 junction.Employment Land Allocations - RuralApril 2001-March 2006(Comp/uc/ns)April 2006-March 2011April 2011 -March 2016SP provision: Strategic Employment Sites 6.00 6.00 6.00Allocate Carlisle Airport 1.95 8.00 11.20Strategic Employment Sites 1.95 8.00 11.20SP provision: Local Employment Sites 5.00 5.00 5.00Barras Lane Industrial Estate, Dalston 0.79Townfoot Industrial Estate, Brampton 2.00 3.50Borders Business Park, Longtown 1.25The Sands Garage, Brampton 0.25Field 3000, Stead McAlpin Ltd, Cummersdale 0.48Moorhouse Farm & Barns 0.09Orton Grange Farm 0.36Cargo Beck House 0.16Adjacent Orchard Lodge, Carleton 0.15Land at Longtown to allocate 5.7Local Employment Sites 5.53 5.5 5.7North of Townfoot Industrial Estate, Brampton4.81 This site is well related to the existing settlement and has good access to the by-pass. Itis considered that the allocation is consistent with advice contained in paragraph 3.5 ofPPG 13 with regard to rural centres. The development of this site, if well designed, has thepotential to have limited impact on the landscape. The site lies in a natural basin and theexisting strong landscape features, together with new planting and existing landforms, wouldensure that new development could take place progressively without undue disturbanceto neighbouring occupiers. Any development would not be seen from the by-pass, andfrom other viewpoints would be seen only in the same context as the existing industrialestate. Planning permission has been granted for the access road to open up the land fordevelopment.September 2006 69
