The Local Plan contains strategic policies for growth, detailed development management policies and allocations of land for development. When adopted, the Local Plan will form the Council’s statutory policy framework for planning, and will shape and guide future development to 2030. 1.2 The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 provide for the designation and protection of European sites. Under the Regulations, competent authorities have a general duty, in the exercise of any of their functions, to have regard to the EC Habitats Directive, (the Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of the Wild Flora and Fauna). The HRA of plans is undertaken in stages (as described below) and should conclude whether or not a proposal or policy in a plan would adversely affect the integrity of any relevant European site. This is judged in terms of the implications of the plan for a site’s qualifying features (i.e. those Annex I habitats, Annex II species, and Annex I bird populations for which it has been designated) and are measured with reference to the conservation objectives for those qualifying features as defined by Natural England. 1.3 The Local Plan has evolved from an initial core strategy (which underwent both a ‘key issues’ and an ‘issues and options’ stage), to a full Local Plan which has involved a two stage preferred options version, leading to the current proposed submission draft Local Plan. The HRA represents the screening stage of the process to determine whether the Local Plan is likely to have a significant effect on a European site. The HRA has been updated at each stage of the Local Plan to take account of changes to the Plan such as deleted or amended or new policies and site allocations. The HRA has also been made available for consultation alongside the Local Plan at each stage. 1.4 The proposed submission draft version of the Local Plan represents that considered by the local planning authority to be ‘sound’, which means that the Local Plan must meet the following tests: • positively prepared – the plan should be prepared based on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed development and infrastructure requirements; 4 • justified – the plan should be the most appropriate strategy, when considered against the reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence; • effective – the plan should be deliverable over its period and based on effective joint working on cross boundary strategic priorities; and • consistent with national policy – the plan should enable the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the NPPF. 5 2.0 Consultation 2.1 The HRA has been an ongoing process carried out for all stages of the Local Plan preparation, and has helped inform each stage of evolving policy. For the preferred options (stage 2) version of the Local Plan, Natural England agreed with Carlisle Council’s conclusion that stages 2 and 3 of the Habitats Regulations Assessment, requiring a full Appropriate Assessment, was not required. This was accompanied by the proviso that it does not remove the need for consideration of Habitats Regulations Assessment screening for schemes and projects which may be adjacent to or in close proximity to Natura 2000 sites, should they be proposed. 2.2 Prior to this, and pre-publication of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the Council undertook a first draft HRA of the Issues and Options stage of the then Core Strategy. (Post NPPF the Council made a decision to produce a full Local Plan). The approach taken in the first draft was endorsed by Natural England who commended the proactive approach of considering the requirements of the Regulations during the early stages of the development of the plan. 2.3 This report sets out the next stage of the HRA process for the Local Plan. The aim of the report is to show that the plan making process complies with the Habitats Directive, identifies any policies and proposals that are likely to have a significant effect on European Site(s) and ensure that policies within the Plan avoid any likely significant effect on European sites. 2.4 The Habitats Regulations require that the appropriate nature conservation statutory body is consulted (Natural England). In addition the Council has consulted Scottish Natural Heritage as the District borders Scotland, and the Solway Firth SAC/SPA and Upper Solway Flats and Marshes SPA and Ramsar site lies partially within Scotland. The HRA is also available for wider public consultation. Any responses received will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government together with the Local Plan and accompanying documents. These comments will then be taken into account during an examination by an appointed independent Inspector. Details of any responses made will be made publicly available. 2.5 Comments on the HRA can be made as follows: by e-mail to [email protected] By post to – Investment and Policy Team, Carlisle City Council, Civic Centre, Carlisle, CA3 8QG. 6 3.0 Methodology 3.1 Notwithstanding the legal requirements prescribed in the Habitats Directive and transposed in the Regulations, there is no standard methodology published by either DCLG or Natural England for how HRA should be carried out. Therefore this document has had regard to ‘Habitats Regulations Appraisal of Plans: Guidance for Plan-Making Bodies in Scotland’ (August 2012), produced for Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Whilst the SNH guidance is aimed at all types of plans, the methodological process of assessing the policies and proposals in a plan are applicable to a local plan. The guidance includes the following stages: - evidence gathering: collecting information on the European sites within and outside the Plan area (including their characteristics and conservation objectives), and other relevant plans or projects; - screening: this stage is not a single stage in the preparation of the Plan. It is a stage that is likely to need repeating, for example as the Plan changes through the consultation process, and perhaps again towards the end of the Plan making process when modifications are considered for inclusion after the examination of the Plan; - if necessary, appropriate assessment: this stage will be carried out if the screening stage finds likely significant effects on European sites of a particular policy option or part of the Plan. The Appropriate Assessment will be of the implications of the particular policy or allocations in the Plan for the European site in view of the site’s conservation objectives; - mitigation measures and alternative solutions: if a policy option or part of the Plan has been found to have adverse effects on the integrity of a European site, the option will normally require modification until the adverse effects are cancelled out or sufficiently reduced; - if the likely impacts identified during the screening stage are considered unlikely to have a significant impact on a European site, Appropriate Assessment and other subsequent stages will not be needed. The Boggis* judgement in the Court of Appeal ruled that there should be: ‘’...credible evidence

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.

  • Little Corby Road, Warwick Bridge (A084131-8)
    WYG Transport part of the WYG group Little Corby Road, Warwick Bridge (A084131-8) Vehicular Access Appraisal – 6 November 2015 1. Introduction 1.1 WYG has been appointed by North Associates Ltd to advise on the likely transport and highways implications of a proposed residential development on parcel of land (‘the site’) located within Little Corby, Warwick Bridge. 1.2 The site is currently undeveloped agricultural land and is located to the east of Little Corby Road, just north of the existing built up area of Warwick Bridge. The development proposals are to deliver up to 120 residential dwellings with a single vehicular-only access located off Little Corby Road. Pedestrian access will be provided via Hurley Road. 1.3 This Technical Note assesses the suitability of providing a single vehicular-only access off Little Corby Road, specifically considering the following highways aspects: • Site Access Junction • HGV Movements • Junction Capacity 1.4 The note concludes that a suitable site access can be delivered that accords with relevant guidance. It also demonstrates that Little Corby Road is suitable to accommodate HGVs associated with the development and that with the development in place there will not be any severe impacts associated with the operation of junctions on the local highway network. 2. Site Access Layout 2.1 A site access junction has been designed with geometry in accordance with the guidance set out in Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB). A preliminary design of a site access is shown in Appendix A which has a 7.5m carriageway and 10m radii.

  • EXAMINATION Carlisle City Council
    ALLERDALE LOCAL PLAN (PART ONE) EXAMINATION Carlisle City Council Statement Matter 4 – Cross Boundary Issues in Housing Provision. 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Carlisle City Council would like to submit this written statement to confirm that the Council can meet its own objectively assessed need for housing within its Plan area, and that we do not consider that Allerdale, or any other neighbouring authority, will be required to help the Council meet such housing need. 1.2 Under the Duty to Co-operate set out in the Localism Act 2011, the two Councils have held meetings on 14th June 2012, 1st October 2012, and 24th June 2013. Among the matters discussed was the issue of whether each district could meet its housing need. At all stages it has been agreed that each district could meet its own objectively assessed housing need within their boundaries. 2.0 Carlisle District Local Plan 2015 – 2030 (preferred options) 2.0 The Local Plan for Carlisle sets out the long term spatial vision for the District for the next 15 years, the strategic objectives, spatial strategy, development management policies, specific site allocations up to 2025, and a broad location for growth from 2025 onwards. It therefore complies with the requirement at paragraph 153 of the NPPF that ‘Each Local Planning Authority should produce a Local Plan for its area’. 2.1 Between 29th July and 16th September 2013, the Local Plan (preferred options) was available for public consultation. 1 138 individual representations were received comprising expressions of support, comments and objections. 2.2 Following a compliance meeting with the Planning Inspectorate in September 2013, the City Council was advised to hold a second period of consultation on the preferred options stage of the Local Plan, primarily to give stakeholders a further opportunity to comment in particular on the development management policies, city centre policies (drafted following more recent evidence), recent evidence concerning travellers, and new potential development sites that had been promoted in response to the consultation.
