  • (Item 7) Planning Application No. 3-07-9011 Construction of Wastewater Pumping Station, Newton Reigny, Penrith.Pdf
    1.0 RECOMMENDATION 1.1 That planning permission is GRANTED for the reasons set out in Appendix 1 and subject to the Conditions in Appendix 2. 2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The application site is a 300m 2 area of a field located adjacent to an unclassified road at the rear of the Sun Inn at Newton Reigny north of Penrith. The site is bordered on the northern boundary by the River Petteril. The purpose of the proposed development is to provide a replacement facility for two septic tanks located near the village so as to secure improvements to the treatment of waste and the quality of water discharged into the River Petteril. There are two other planning applications asociated with this proposal. There is an application for a wastewater pumping facility at Newton Rigg to the south (Ref: 3/07/9012) and another for two temporary access points on the road south from Newton Reigny to Newton Rigg (Ref: 3/07/9013) to allow for access to construct underground pipes linking the two proposed pumping facilities. 2.2 The proposed development is for construction of a wastewater pumping station with vehicular access, control building, storm water outfall to the River Petteril, a drystone wall and associated temporary access widening. Part of the development would be constructed below ground. This element would be comprised of a valve chamber, a pumping station and a combined sewer overflow chamber. Part of these facilities would be above ground level being up to 1m above the surface. 2.3 The main surface development would be comprised of a tarmac surfaced lay –by to provide access and parking for service vehicles and a control building.

  • Eden Local Plan Proposed Submission Version | 2014-2032
    Eden Local Plan Proposed Submission Version | 2014-2032 www.eden.gov.uk/planning-and-development/planning-policy-for-eden EdenCouncil EdenDistrictCouncil Eden Local Plan – Pre-Submission Version This document sets out how we are planning to manage the growth of new jobs, homes and infrastructure in Eden over the next eighteen years. We are now asking for views on whether this plan can be considered ‘sound’ before we proceed to a public Local Plan Examination Further information on the Local Plan and planning in Eden can be found on the Council’s website www.eden.gov.uk. Designed and produced by the Planning Policy Section, Department of Communities, Eden District Council. This document can be made available in large print on request Ruth Atkinson Communities Director Mansion House Penrith Cumbria CA11 7YG October 2015 1 Foreword This plan is the result of a long process which set out to think about how we can best meet the needs of Eden’s residents and workers whilst preserving the essential characteristics that make the district such an outstanding place to live and work. It is about managing the changes we anticipate in a way that provides the most benefits to the most amount of people. We can’t ignore this change - if we fail to plan the population will still grow, but there may be fewer new houses, fewer jobs and less opportunities for those already here. Failure to plan also risks decisions on where new development goes being made on an ad hoc basis, without the benefit of an assessment of all the options available, how they compare and how we can best provide the essential infrastructure needed to support them.

  • Proposed Changes to the Draft Settlement Hierarchy Update Paper
    Eden Local Plan Proposed Changes to the Draft Settlement Hierarchy Update Paper July 2015 1 Why has this paper been produced? 1) This short paper explains some of the changes we are proposing to make to what is known as our ‘settlement hierarchy’ in the forthcoming Local Plan. We wanted to explain the possible changes and allow people to comment prior to the District Council asking for further comments and then submitting the plan to the Government for independent scrutiny. What is a settlement hierarchy and what is its purpose? 2) The Preferred Options Local Plan published in July 2014 proposed a settlement hierarchy of a principal town (Penrith), three market towns (Alston, Appleby and Kirkby Stephen), twenty ‘key hubs’ and over a hundred ‘villages and hamlets’. This proposed hierarchy was a way of directing amounts of new housing to our towns and villages, by setting the percentages of housing we expected to go to each tier. Land would then be allocated for housing accordingly and development rates monitored to see if the plan was working. How do we produce a settlement hierarchy? 3) In practice there is no set way of doing it. We use a combination of past development rates, suggested development sites, the number of services in each settlement and finally some local knowledge and common sense. The difficult part is how we consistently identify the villages where an element of small scale housing development may come forward. We need some way of transparently deciding on our list, not least because our strategy will have to be explained and defended as we take the plan through independent examination.
