    DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATION COMMITTEE 27 July 2010 A Report by the Assistant Director - Planning & Sustainability _____________________________________________________________________ Application No 1/10/9006 District Carlisle Applicant United Utilities Parish Stanwix Rural Clearwater 4 Lingley Green Avenue Date of Receipt 11 May 2010 Warrington WA5 3BP _____________________________________________________________________ PROPOSAL To construct a new Wastewater Pumping Station, removal of 2m of hedgerow, access track and erection of motor control kiosk. Field north of 'Laithholme', Park Broom, Carlisle, CA6 4QH _____________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION 1.1 That planning permission is granted for the reasons stated in Appendix 1 and subject to the conditions in Appendix 2. 2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The application site is a field located adjacent to an unclassified road leading south from the A689 to the hamlet of Park Broom, which is situated to the east of Carlisle. This section of the field is currently being used as the contractors compound for the new sewer works. A 3m wide section of hedgerow has been removed to give access for the contractor's compound. This would leave space for provision of the access gates for entry into the pumping station. 2.2 The proposal is for construction of an underground pumping station to serve a new sewer being built as part of a first time sewerage scheme for the village of Park Broom. Currently properties are served by septic tanks, which discharge via ditches, some of which are heavily polluted, to the River Eden. The above ground development would consist of a concrete slab over the pumping station and a control kiosk. In addition there would be a grass seeded compacted stone access track and turning space created to enable servicing of the development.

  • The Gretna Bombing – 7Th April 1941
    Acknowledgements This booklet has been made possible by generous funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Armed Forces Community Covenant and Dumfries and Galloway Council, who have all kindly given The Devil’s Porridge Museum the opportunity to share the fascinating story of heroic Border people. Special thanks are given to all those local people who participated in interviews which helped to gather invaluable personal insights and key local knowledge. A special mention is deserved for the trustees and volunteers of the Devil’s Porridge Museum, who had the vision and drive to pursue the Solway Military Coast Project to a successful conclusion. Many thanks also to the staff from local libraries and archives for their assistance and giving access to fascinating sources of information. Written and Researched by Sarah Harper Edited by Richard Brodie ©Eastriggs and Gretna Heritage Group (SCIO) 2018 1 th The Gretna Bombing – 7 April 1941 The township of Gretna was built during the First World War to house many of the workers who produced cordite at the ‘greatest munitions factory on Earth’ which straddled the Scottish-English border. You might be forgiven if you had thought that Gretna and its twin township of Eastriggs would be constructed on a functional basis with little attention to detail. This was the case in the early days when a huge timber town was built on a grid system for the labourers and tradesmen, but, so intent was the Government on retaining the vital workforce, that it brought in the best town planners and architects to provide pleasant accommodation.

  • Ww1gap Worksheet Answers
    WW1Gap Worksheet answers HM Factory Gretna – Watch the film and look at the panels in The Devil’s Porridge Museum to find out the information to fill in the gaps. HM Factory Gretna was Britain’s largest munitions factory during WWI, stretching 9 miles along the Solway Coast from Dornock to Mossband. It was built in response to the shell crisis of 1915, when The Times newspaper reported The British Army was running dangerously short of artillery shells on The Western Front. This led to a change of government and the development of a national programme for munition production. A new government department was created to solve the munitions shortage with David Lloyd- George becoming the Minister of Munitions. Over 10 thousand labourers, mostly Irish navvies as well as 8,000 experts from the fields of chemistry, engineering and project management planned and built the factory in only 9 months. The townships of Gretna and Eastriggs were built to house the munition workers. These new settlements were seen as ideal communities, designed by the architects Raymond Unwin and Courtney Crickmer. The settlements had many amenities including church halls, shops, police barracks, a fire station, bakeries, a kitchen and dance halls. At its height, 30,000 people worked at HM Factory Gretna, 11,000 of whom were women. By June 1917, the factory produced1,100 tonnes of RDB cordite per week, more than all the other factories in Britain combined. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle visited the factory as a war correspondent and nicknamed the explosive mixture of nitro – cotton and nitro- glycerine the ‘Devil’s Porridge’.

The provision of land for housing and the timely release of that land to enable building of homes is a key component of the Plan. The broader objective of the Plan in relation to housing is the creation of places with a range and choice of well-located homes, ensuring that the right development comes forward within the right places. It is vital these considerations underpin the whole process of planning for housing even at the earliest stages of setting the housing land requirement.
