01 Land at Rookery Park, Scotby INTRODUCTION

Introduction Gladman Developments Ltd (Gladman) has successfully invested in communities throughout the UK for over 30 years, developing high quality and sustainable residential, commercial and industrial schemes. A process of public consultation is being undertaken by Gladman in order to present the emerging development proposal for the land at Scotby, to the local community. We are proposing a new residential development of up to 90 homes, together with new green infrastructure. The purpose of this consultation process is to outline the details of the draft scheme and seek comments from the local community which will be considered before the outline planning application is lodged with Carlisle City Council.

Site Description The site comprises 5.41ha of land and is located to the east of the main street through Scotby village. The site access is proposed from the lane along the site’s north western boundary.

Housing Need Every Council is required by the Government to boost significantly the supply of housing and to make planning decisions in the light of a presumption in favour of sustainable development. Carlisle City Council Site Boundary is required to provide enough housing land to meet its full future housing River Eden

needs. Approval of this development will help towards meeting the Developed Land housing need within the local authority area. Aglionby M6 Motorway Warwick- on-Eden Why is the Site Suitable for Development? A69 A Roads

Historic Maps The historic maps below show the proposal site in the context of Scotby’s growth over approximately the last 150 years. By the 19th century the historic core of Scotby has established along the main street through the village, broadly contained to the north by the Tyne Valley railway line. The 1927 map indicates the Carlisle-Settle railway line to the south of the village. During the mid-late 20th century the village has seen residential growth along the peripheral roads. The early 21st century has seen further development including a recent residential scheme at Alders Edge, to the north of the site.

Landscape Character The site comprises agricultural land and adjoins the existing settlement edge of Scotby.

The site lies within the National Character Area (NCA) 6 ‘Solway Basin’, published by Natural . This area is characterised as “gently undulating low hills that grade into the coastal plain and estuarine landscape of the Solway Firth.”

The Landscape Character Guidance locates the site within the ‘Lowland’ landscape type and within the ‘Low Farmland’ sub type. Key characteristics for this area include: “Undulating and rolling topography, Intensely farmed agricultural pasture dominates, 5b Patchy areas of woodland provide contrast to the pasture, Woodland is uncommon west towards the coast, Fields are large and rectangular, Hedges, hedgerow trees and fences bound fields and criss cross up and over the rolling landscape.” 5d “The settlement pattern is varied, with large and small nucleated traditional settlements intermixed with

many discrete farms dispersed across the landscape. Cumbria Landscape Character Guidance (2011) Site Boundary Buildings are often rendered with rich red sandstone Lowlands Urban buildings dominant along the west coast, and lighter 5b Low Farmland sandstone buildings around Carlisle. Straight roads are common.” 5d Urban Fringe

Settlement Character The historic core is located within the centre of the village between two railway corridors and contains a range of older properties. Common vernacular features include the use of red brick and red sandstone. Grey roofing materials are common along with simple fenestration detailing. Scotby also has areas of newer 20th century housing developments. The newer development includes a mix of brick and render.

Above: Examples of built form and materials used within Scotby. The proposals will seek to reflect the existing built character so as to create an appropriate and sympathetic development in keeping with the character of the site and its context. 04 Land at Rookery Park, Scotby VISUAL CONTEXT

Site and Setting Aerial photograph with site boundary and viewpoint locations The site and its immediate context are not covered by any designations such as National Parks, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Special Landscape Area or Conservation Area. The site includes a single pasture field. A clipped hedgerow defines the site boundary alongside thelane 3 to the north. Sandstone wall defines the western boundary to residential properties (Scotby Village) whilst elsewhere post and wire fencing largely 2 define field boundaries. Detached residential properties lie to the east at Escott House and the Grove, whilst modern housing lies to the north at 1 Alders Edge.

The site has a restricted visual envelope owing to the interaction of localised variations in topography, existing vegetation cover and urban fabric along the edge of Scotby. Views of the site are screened from the vast majority of properties within Scotby. Views are largely restricted to those properties situated immediately adjacent to the site.

There are also localised views of the site from the local road network including from Scotby Village and the lane to the north. Hedgerows and trees are present along parts of the site boundary and as well as within the surrounding landscape, which assist in screening or filtering views across the site.

What are the Local Facilities? The site is sustainably located with easy access to local facilities, public transport links and the local footpath network. The proposed residential development would be ideally located for access to Scotby Village centre. The local bus routes would provide access to Carlisle and other destinations via a number of regular services.

The assessment of the site and its surroundings has identified a number of features which should be protected, retained and enhanced wherever possible as part of the development proposals for the site. These considerations provide the opportunities and constraints for development and have been used to inform the preparation of the Framework Plan.

The Framework Plan addresses the identified constraints and opportunities. Areas of green infrastructure wrap around the proposed development area creating a landscape buffer that will both respect local topography, existing views and reinforce existing trees, and vegetation to provide a softer green edge to new built form. The green infrastructure of the site, which covers up to 48% of the total site area, will accommodate main areas of open space to the south and west, providing an equipped children’s play area, habitat corridors, a balancing pond (SuDS), and traffic free pedestrian routes.
