  • Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Pre - Submission Draft
    Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Pre - Submission Draft Submitted document including the Council’s proposed modifications February 2014 Foreword To meet the needs of Allerdale’s communities we need a plan that provides for new jobs to diversify and grow our economy and new homes for our existing and future population whilst balancing the need to protect the natural and built environment. This document, which covers the area outside the National Park, forms the first part of the Allerdale Local Plan and contains the Core Strategy and Development Management policies. It sets a clear vision, for the next 15 years, for how new development can address the challenges we face. The Core Strategy will guide other documents in the Allerdale Local Plan, in particular the site allocations which will form the second part of the plan. This document is the culmination of a great deal of public consultation over recent years, and extensive evidence gathering by the Council. The policies in the Plan will shape Allerdale in the future, helping to deliver sustainable economic development, jobs and much needed affordable housing for our communities. The Council considers this to be the most appropriate plan to take forward to be submitted to the Secretary of State for public examination by an inspector. However, before submitting this document we are asking the public and stakeholders to consider and submit comments on the soundness of the document. The Plan and associated documents, including guidance on how to submit your comments can be viewed at www.allerdale.gov.uk/localplan and at Council offices.

Sowden (AS) D. Findlay (DF) N. Dainton (ND) M. Pearson (MP) Also present: Wendy Jameson – Parish Clerk (WEJ), Cllr. J. Cook and 3 members of the public. 1. Apologies None. 2. Declarations of Interest None. 3. Exclusion of Press & Public None. 13. Planning Applications Plan No: 2/2016/0727 Proposed development: Outline planning application with All Matters Reserved for 5 no dwellings Location: Land at Blitterlees, Silloth, Cumbria Applicant: Mr A. J. Markley Mrs Downham addressed the Council, explained her concerns and provided copies of the letter submitted to Allerdale in response to the application. Other residents have objected to Allerdale about the plans. The Parish Council discussed the planning application at length. The main concern is drainage. All of the houses along here are piped into the main sewer which is pumped to the Blitterlees pumping station and then to the Airfield which is already overloaded as it is, without additional demand on the system. After heavy rainfall, the road often floods due to the beck overflowing. Parts of the beck have not been cleaned out in over 40 years which contributes to the problem. The land is unsuitable for building on, as it is often under water during the wetter months of the year. Access and visibility are not good along this stretch of road, particularly as there is a blind bend towards the Beckfoot end of the road which is a concern.
