Private 2.04.9012 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATION COMMITTEE 21 July 2004 A Report by the Head of Environment _________________________________________________________________________________________ ___ Application No. 2/04/9012 District Allerdale Applicant United Utilities Parish Oughterside and Allerby Great Sankey Warrington Date of Receipt 11 June 2004 _________________________________________________________________________________________ ___ PROPOSAL Erection of a control building and a blower building; Wastewater Treatment Works, Allerby, Maryport _________________________________________________________________________________________ ___ 1.0 RECOMMENDATION 1.1 That planning permission is GRANTED for the reasons set out in Appendix 1 subject to the following conditions, providing that no adverse comments that would warrant reconsidering this application are received by 12 July 2004: 1. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme. Any variations to the approved scheme shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to being carried out. Reason: To ensure the development is carried out to an approved appropriate standard. 2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 Planning permission was granted in August 2003 for an extension to the existing WwTW site to contain a new wastewater plant with control and blower buildings in order to improve treated water quality to meet more stringent discharge consents. 2.2 This application proposes to increase the size of the control building from 6.4m x 3.1m x 3.4 high to 9.5 x 3.5 x 3.8m high in order to accommodate additional equipment, and the blower building from 3.4m x 2.7m x 3.3m high to 6.0x x 2.7m x 3.7m high. They would have natural slate roofs, rough cast/wet render walls and grey steel powder coated doors and frames as previously approved. 2.3 Access to the site would be via a stone track to meet with the existing stone track that leads to the junction with the public highway, also as previously approved. 2.4 This application is part retrospective as the buildings are currently under construction. 3.0 CONSULTATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS 3.1 Allerdale Borough Council - No objection. 3.2 Crosscanonby Parish Council - Adjoining Parish - No objection. 3.3 Oughterside and Allerby Parish Council and the Environment Agency have been notified of the proposal but had not replied at the time this report was written. 3.4 The Highways Authority and the Coal Authority have no objections. 3.5 Local Member, Mr RW Allison and the adjoining member Mr A Clark have been notified of this application. 3.6 No letters of representation have been received at the time this report was drafted. 4.0 PLANNING ASSESSMENT 4.1 This development is required to meet river quality objectives by improvements to the wastewater treatment regime. The need for improvement is recognised and the provision of such facilities is supported in principle by Policy 60 of the Cumbria Minerals and Waste Local Plan. 4.2 Views of the site from the nearest properties at Crosby Villa are limited by the steep fall of the land from the A596 and by existing trees and hedges on the eastern side of the site. The increased size of the buildings over those originally approved would not result in any significant increase in visual impact. 4.3 The scale, siting and design of these wastewater treatment buildings are considered acceptable and approval is recommended. The proposed changes to the size of the buildings would not conflict with the agreed landscape proposals for the site. Human Rights Act 1998 4.4 The proposal will have a limited impact on the visual amenity of the area. Any impacts on the rights of local property owners to a private and family life and peaceful enjoyment of their possessions (Article 8 and Article 1 of Protocol 1) are minimal and proportionate to the wider social and economic interests of the community.

NO. 2/04/9012 TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE) ORDER 1995 (AS AMENDED) SUMMARY OF REASONS FOR GRANT OF PLANNING PERMISSION 1. This application has been determined in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Acts, in the context of national and regional planning policy guidance and advice and the relevant development plan policies. 2. The key development plan policies taken into account by the County Council before granting permission were as follows: Cumbria Minerals and Waste Local Plan 1996-2006 (adopted 2000) Policy 60 Planning permission will be granted for wastewater treatment facilities. Proposals which are likely to have significant adverse effects on the environment or communities will only be permitted where they represent the best practicable environmental option. 3. In summary, the reasons for granting permission are that the County Council is of the opinion that the proposed development is in accordance with the development plan, there are no material considerations that indicate the decision should be made otherwise and with the planning conditions included in the notice of planning consent, any harm would reasonably by mitigated. Furthermore, any potential harm to interests of acknowledged importance is likely to be negligible and would be outweighed by the benefits of the development. .

  • ALLERDALE DISTRICT WARDS REVIEW 2016 an Initial Submission
    ALLERDALE DISTRICT WARDS REVIEW 2016 An initial submission on behalf of the Labour Group of Allerdale Councillors. A. Methodology for Area allocations The starting point for this submission to the review process is that the Allerdale District is made up of seven Areas, each centred on a town as service centre and its hinterland. These areas were first defined by the County Council as part of its initiation of the “Neighbourhood Forms” concept in the late 1980s and have evolved since into the pattern now used by Allerdale Council for engagement with members and localities, shown in this map: The map was originally based on school catchment areas. Following a review of “natural communities” by the Health service in 2000, it began to be used to define primary care boundaries. Under localism and devolution policy in the 2000s it was also used to define neighbourhood policing areas, community regeneration areas, childrens centre areas, parish council groupings, and planning policy areas, amongst others. Although some organisations, under budget pressures, have resiled from earlier commitments to use these Areas for organisation and service planning, they remain the most appropriate basis for any division of Allerdale into smaller areas. Accordingly it is suggested that these Areas should be the starting point for consideration of ward boundaries – following the pattern of the parliamentary boundary review which uses counties within the Region as its starting point. The first step is therefore to define the quota, making an assumption of 48 members as the size of the Council based a) on the actual electorate in 2016 (a quota of 1576 electors); and b) on the forecast electorate in 2022 as estimated by the Elections Officer at the Council (a quota of 1622 electors).

  • Independent Group
    FAO [email protected] Allerdale Boundary Commission Review Part 2 Submission of the Independent Group Introduction The Independent Group met on Thursday 1st December to consider the proposals tabled by Officers at the Group Leaders' Meeting the preceding Monday 28th November. Being a group not affiliated with any political party, the group's six members main concern is to properly represent the views of their respective electorates specifically in: • Dalton Ward • Broughton St Bridgets Ward • Harrington Workington Ward • All Saints Cockermouth Ward • Keswick Ward • Aspatria Ward In relation to the boundary review process Part 2, its nature is such that members of the group have engaged in general discussion within e.g. local parish councils on the matter, but have not until the week commencing 28th November been in a position to consider the implications both locally or more widely arising from the work of the Officer group which was not made available until that date. The three major Groups in Allerdale – Labour, Conservatives and Independent – have all shared thoughts as the process has advanced over recent weeks, both through the Leaders' Group but also informally between those councillors who have taken the lead within each group for 'number-crunching' and map-making. Much common ground has emerged, but there are of course differences which in large part are probably conditioned by the fact that in most wards political representation tends to be the monopoly of a single party. This in turn both enhances the ability of winning parties to articulate the needs and perceptions of those communities, but simultaneously diminishes their ability to speak with equal authority on the needs and perceptions of communities they have little experience of representing.

  • Cumbria Local Democracy Commision
    CUMBRIA LOCAL DEMOCRACY COMMISSION REPORT Cumbria County Council FOREWORD This document presents the report of the Cumbria Local Democracy Commission which conducted a programme of inquiries during the second half of 2005. We were commissioned by Cumbria County Council (CCC) and assisted by a Secretariat which they provided. However, we were independent both in determining our programme of work and in our findings, conclusions and recommendations. We came to our task from a wide range of backgrounds and we approached many of the issues we considered from very different standpoints, but this is the report of us all. During the course of our inquiries we took a broad overview of the operation of local democracy in Cumbria. Our main focus was on CCC’s activities but we also considered other bodies with important roles in our area of interest. Additionally, we needed to ask some wider questions and to consider aspects of central government policies and their implications. We sought to ask questions which would help us unravel the public service systems and the central government to local government relationships. Our report reflects our voyage of discovery, and our conclusions from it. By the end of our inquiries we had a full understanding that local democracy is a complex process. We had also formed a view that the very complexity of all local government organizations and the systems of provision of public services is challenging for citizens to understand. This we think has its democratic disadvantages - not least that voters may feel unconvinced their vote has any direct impact on the local services they receive.
