Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning CUMWHINTON January 2013 Page Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning CUMWHINTON CUMWHINTON Figure 1: Location of Cumwhinton January 2013 Page 1 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning CUMWHINTON Settlement Profile: Strategic Position Cumwhinton sits one mile east of Junction 42 of the M6, and also has quick and easy access to Carlisle via Cumwhinton Road. Approximately 1.5 miles to the north lies Scotby and 1.5 miles to the east lies Wetheral, both classed and LCS in the Local Plan. The eastern end of the village lies within the Carlisle/Settle railway line conservation area, but the station has long since closed. There is an hourly bus service into Carlisle and the City is also within cycling distance. General description of settlement Development is concentrated mainly in ribbon form alongside the B6263, confined abruptly at its eastern edge by the railway, which is in a cutting with a redundant station where the road bridges over the line. The older buildings are built in the distinctive red sandstone of the area, with a few in rustic brown brick. Stone has also been used in some of the better recent buildings including the school extension but brick is much more common with some render. Recent housing development at Holme Farm Court and Holme Meadow use an attractive mix of sandstone render and brick, and are well laid out with spacious gardens. Central to the village is a small village green and nearby Lowther Arms pub. Topographical and landscape context The general topography of countryside around Cumwhinton is conspicuously hummocky, with three significant high points dispersed around the village itself contributing valuable landmarks and orientation. The land falls away to the east immediately beyond the railway to a minor valley of the Pow Maughan Beck. To the west there is a gentle climb to an enclosing ridge that excludes distant views and similar spatial containment is also present to the north. Farming dominates the hinterland, mainly of livestock, and this has limited tree cover apart from substantial hedges and hedgerow trees. The railway cutting and embankment to the east are heavily vegetated, restricting distant views, and there is a small wood behind the Lowther Arms. Some diversification of farming is evident, with equestrian facilities most noticeable. Biodiversity The village is too small to expect much biodiversity, especially as it is surrounded by improved grassland, but the railway banks and adjoining Pow Maughan valley do contribute some interest and habitat value. Otherwise the principal habitat resource is the extensive network of field hedgerows under varying degrees of management intensity. Tourist features/context Cumwhinton does not attract much tourism. The Lowther Arms being a very good, small inn and there is a network of routes for local walks and equestrian activities. Close by are Cocklakes with has walks and ponds offering fishing at Carleton Hill fishery. January 2013 Page 2 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning CUMWHINTON Settlement dependencies Despite its small size Cumwhinton has a primary school, St John’s Hall and a The Lowther Arms pub. It also has a small post office but there can be little prospect of further retail unless accompanied by significant growth. As it is, shopping and leisure pursuits are more likely to take residents to Carlisle or beyond. Rail travel is available at Wetheral, where there is little parking available, and Carlisle. CABE1 Pre-consultation Comments on Scope for new development There is quite substantial land that could accommodate development relative to the existing size of the settlement but permitting this to occur quickly would readily become incongruous and change the character of the village. The hummocky nature of the topography is also a distinctive feature and should influence siting of new development by safeguarding the high points and preventing creep over the ridges into neighbouring fields. The railway is such an emphatic edge on the east, closely accompanied by the small and sensitive Pow Maughan valley that, that eastward extension is not recommended. Similarly extension to the north and west cannot reach far before creeping over ridges, so development in the short to medium term should be confined to infill close to the B6263 on the north side and behind ribbon development south of the road: this latter space contains large private gardens so land assembly is complicated and development further south would possibly feel detached from the village and also must respect the land required by the school. 1 Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) Community Consultation A focus group meeting was held on 23/2/12 with members of Wetheral Parish Council including a representative of Cumwhinton village. The Parish Council included a detachable comments page on the future shape of the villages in the Parish to their annual report that was distributed to all, including 480 households in Cumwhinton and Cotehill villages. There were 8 responses. Comments made by respondents that were positive about further expansion included: ● expansion to the east of the settlement would allow for expansion of the school, development of a playground, parking for school ‘drop off’ and possible housing; ● a small amount of infill in private gardens would be tolerable; and ● further development should concentrate on central areas by the village hall and behind the school field. Four respondents were not in favour of further development, expressed concern that Cumwhinton village had: ● expanded greatly over the last 30 years and that there are two new housing developments in progress including low cost housing and one pending for 14 houses, there being no need for more; ● several developments in the recent past most were on brownfield sites, with two most recent developments on greenfield sites; ● serious problem of flooding, drains are unable to clear flood water effectively, further development would intensify this problem; January 2013 Page 3 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning CUMWHINTON ● traffic congestion with both speeding and the lack of parking particularly during school drop off and pick up, there is a lack of parking for the school; ● problems of traffic congestion encouraging some drivers to use an inadequate single lane between the Stripes and the west of the village road used by farm vehicles which is in a very poor condition; ● no need for further development on the road frontage of the B6263, roads to Scotby and Cotehill or Cumwhinton Road; ● lack of facilities and employment; and ● with few people positive about development indicated by lack of response to the consultation limited need for more development. The Parish Council have also expressed concerns regarding the former gypson quarry (Cocklakes, about 1.25 miles south of Cumwhinton) and flooding to the land to the right of the village hall. This would need to be a consideration in identifying future sites for development. Community Led Planning Housing Needs Assessment (2010) The Parish Council undertook community led planning in 2010. As part of this consultation a question was asked of all households: ‘would you object to a small number of low-cost rented houses being built in the parish, to meet the needs of local people?’ 75% of people who responded said that they would have no objection (from the whole parish not just Cumwhinton village). However, many expressed their concern that the existing low cost housing did not go to local families. For a full summary of responses go to end of document.

    Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning WARWICK BRIDGE LITTLE CORBY & CORBY HILL WARWICK BRIDGE, LITTLE CORBY AND CORBY HILL Figure 1: Location of Warwick Bridge, Little Corby and Corby Hill May 2013 Page 1 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning WARWICK BRIDGE LITTLE CORBY & CORBY HILL Settlement Profile Strategic Position Warwick Bridge sits in an elevated position looking North West towards the River Eden. It is in a strategic location on the main A69 Carlisle to Newcastle trunk road; 5 miles east north east from Carlisle and 4.5 miles south west of Brampton. This main road provides easy access to the local market town of Brampton. Warwick Bridge serves a number of rural hamlets and is well served by local bus services operating between Brampton and Carlisle, and cross-country services between Carlisle and Newcastle. The village is made up of the three merged settlements of Corby Hill, Little Corby and Warwick Bridge. The village grew historically due to the mill that is located just outside the village. This served as the main source of employment for the population of the village. General description of settlement Little Corby, Warwick Bridge and Corby Hill each developed individually before expansions in various directions led them to merge, to appear now as one settlement. The village has grown in a linear form along the busy A69 route with further later residential growth expanding Little Corby and Corby Hill. There is a busy crossroads controlled by traffic lights towards the end of the village in the East. There is a small area of village green adjacent to the crossroads.

  • North West Blackburn with Darwen
    Archaeological Investigations Project 2008 Building Recording North West Blackburn with Darwen Blackburn with Darwen UA (G.48.4272/2008) SD67902780 Parish: Blackburn Postal Code: BB2 2EF 53 KING STREET, BLACKBURN 53 King Street, Blackburn, Lancashire: Archaeological Building Investigation Ridings, C Lancaster : Oxford Archaeology North, Report: L9980 2008, 64pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Oxford Archaeology North A building investigation of a townhouse was undertaken prior to its potential demolition. Historical research in conjunction with an addendum to a desk-based assessment revealed that the house was built in the late-18th century and not c. 1830, as had originally been assumed. The empty plot was purchased by a carpenter John Edleston the Elder, who built the existing townhouse, which he and his son [also John Edleston] would occupy till the early 19th century. During the 19th century, the house was acquired by a local calico magnate called James Pearson, then a surgeon called James Pickup, before being sold and used as the superintendent’s residence for the new County Police Station, which was built on the site of the demolished 51 King Street. The townhouse was a solitary reminder of what was once a very desirable residential area of Blackburn. Unfortunately, the only other structure of comparable age and status that still remained was 61 King Street, whilst the rest of the buildings comprised modern 20th century shops of assorted descriptions and a builder’s merchants. The property appeared to be structurally sound from the exterior, but the interior was in a poor state of repair. The townhouse had been stripped of most of its internal features, but the decoration, which appeared to date to the early 19th century, was still retained.
