Carlisle District Local Plan 2001 - 2016 Revised Redeposit draft5.103 Development has started on the northern part of the original allocation at ‘The Beeches’.The additional residential developments were subject to planning applications which havebeen called in and awaiting additional submissions before consideration at an Inquiry.In preparing the information an environmental assessment has been undertaken whichupdates information in the Masterplan. As a consequence the numbers of dwellings havebeen increased to reflect a higher density of development. Development of this site shallnot commence until 2008 when other greenfield allocations have been developed andthen shall be phased. It is considered that during this plan period 800 dwellings will bedeveloped on this site with an additional 100 units developed in the following periodallowing for a long term phased development of this sustainable extension. This site is notto be developed until such time as adequate infrastructure is in place.Insert additional textThis site is a previously developed site within the urban area. It is identified within theStrategic Flood Risk Assessment as falling within an area liable to flood. More detaileddiscussion has been undertaken with the Environment Agency on proposed development forthis site. An Environmental Impact Assessment of the site shows that proposals are capableof being developed which would satisfy the concerns of the Environment Agency on floodingmatters. The site remains proposed for development within the plan.Raffles replacement dwellings5.104 Raffles in Carlisle has been undergoing a transformation in recent years and the localcommunity has been working hard in partnership with the City Council, Carlisle HousingAssociation and a private developer to bring about redevelopment of the area. The RafflesVision has been produced which sets out an informal plan to redevelop community, health,recreation and residential parts of the area. During the Plan period it is likely that the wholeof the area will be redeveloped and the majority of housing will be replaced although someland is being changed to other uses. Planning permission has been granted for the firstphase and the developer is now on site. The long-term schedule for development will bedependent upon the progress of the first phase.Saw Mill Site, Netherby Road, Longtown5.106 Outline planning permission lapsed on this site but its use for residential redevelopmentis considered appropriate given its good location close to the town centre and schoolfacilities. The site will also cater for local need identified in the housing survey as part of theMarket Towns Initiative work being undertaken.Land between Mill Street/Burn Street/A6071, Longtown5.105 This site currently used for employment is at a key junction in the town and theredevelopment of the site can provide an opportunity to improve the existing junctionarrangements. Sufficient land remains allocated in the town for employment developmentand the allocation of this site for residential development should not hinder the strategy toregenerate the town. Provision is made for additional land to be allocated for employmentdevelopment at Longtown should this be required during the Plan period. Given the natureof the existing junction, access to this site will have to ensure that vehicular conflict isminimised and it may be appropriate to require access to be only from Mill Street.Highway Depot Site, Station Road, Brampton5.107 The site of an existing Highways Depot in Brampton causes concern in the immediate areadue to its operation. There is an opportunity to relocate the site locally within Brampton andthis is to be facilitated by the redevelopment of the existing site for residential use. The sitelies within the newly extended conservation area, requiring a high standard of design forany proposals.96 September 2006
Carlisle District Local Plan 2001 - 2016 Revised Redeposit draftChapter 6: Local EnvironmentPOLICY LE1 Urban Fringe LandscapeWithin Urban Fringe areas, permission will not be given for development whichadversely affects the open character of the areas. Development of open spacerecreational uses such as golf courses and playing fields which retain the essentialopen nature will be acceptable. In addition, small scale development within or adjacentto established farmsteads and other groups of buildings, together with buildingsassociated with and required for the use of the area for open recreational areas will beacceptable providing that:1. the proposal reflects the scale and character of the existing group of buildings;and2. there is no unacceptable adverse effect on the amenity of neighbouring property;and3. there is no unacceptable adverse effect on the character and appearance of thesurrounding area; and4. where appropriate satisfactory access and car parking can be achieved.6.1 Certain areas of countryside, by reason of their location on the fringe of the principalsettlements of the Plan area are under pressure for development. An Urban FringeLandscape Study for Carlisle and Landscape Assessment studies for Brampton, Longtownand Dalston have been carried out. These studies form the basis for this policy.6.2 These are the most important areas of countryside in and surrounding these settlementsand in Carlisle include the valleys of the River Eden, Caldew and Petteril, which bring ruralcharacter into the centre of Carlisle. Several ‘green wedges’ and areas on the periphery ofthe urban area which have particularly attractive landscapes or prevent the coalescence ofoutlying villages such as Blackwell, Carleton, Cummersdale and Rickerby with the urbanarea. In Dalston and Longtown these areas include the riverside areas and in Bramptonthe particularly prominent knolls which are a feature of the area’s geological history. Theimportance of areas defined under this Policy lies in their significance to the setting of thesettlement concerned.6.3 The purpose of the Policy is to retain the essential open character of these areas byrestricting development to recreational uses which require areas of open land andbuildings associated with and clearly needed for the development, e.g. changing roomsand clubhouses. It is not the purpose of the Policy to prevent small scale developmentassociated with existing farm groups and other groups of buildings, together withdevelopment to meet local infrastructure needs such as sewage treatment, water, gas supplyand telecommunications. Such development and development associated with the openrecreational use of the land will be acceptable provided the above criteria are met.6.4 Some of these areas of countryside, particularly in the river valleys and areas preventingthe coalescence of villages with Carlisle, together with particularly attractive areas ofcountryside, may never be suitable for development.September 2006 97
