Planning Applications Plan No: 2/2016/0727 Proposed development: Outline planning application with All Matters Reserved for 5 no dwellings Location: Land at Blitterlees, Silloth, Cumbria Applicant: Mr A. J. Markley Mrs Downham addressed the Council, explained her concerns and provided copies of the letter submitted to Allerdale in response to the application. Other residents have objected to Allerdale about the plans. The Parish Council discussed the planning application at length. The main concern is drainage. All of the houses along here are piped into the main sewer which is pumped to the Blitterlees pumping station and then to the Airfield which is already overloaded as it is, without additional demand on the system. After heavy rainfall, the road often floods due to the beck overflowing. Parts of the beck have not been cleaned out in over 40 years which contributes to the problem. The land is unsuitable for building on, as it is often under water during the wetter months of the year. Access and visibility are not good along this stretch of road, particularly as there is a blind bend towards the Beckfoot end of the road which is a concern.

  • Silloth Community Governance Review
    Silloth Community Governance Review You will have recently received a letter from Allerdale Borough Council regarding a Community Governance Review which is being carried out, to look at redrawing the boundary between Silloth Town Council and Holme Low Parish Council. This is to address the issue that the Lido Village is split by the boundary. There are a number of points which need to be taken into consideration. With Option 2, the 15 properties on Barracks Bridge would be taken out of Holme Low and those properties would then in all probability, have to pay increased council tax bills, as they would then have to contribute towards the Precept of Silloth Town Council. The only benefit from moving the boundary would be that residents of Barracks Bridge would then be allowed to vote in a Silloth Town Council election For example, on a Band D property, the Silloth portion of the Council tax bill will be in the region of £196.15 per year for 2020/21, whereas for Option 1 is to redraw the boundary so that all Holme Low, on a Band D property the Holme Low properties in the Lido Village are within Silloth portion of the council tax bill will be in the region Town Council area. of £56 per year. At the moment, properties on the Lido Village are Holme Low is made up of a number of small paying Council tax for Silloth and yet some are hamlets; Barracks Bridge, Blackdyke, Blitterlees, unable to vote when there is an election for Silloth Calvo, Causewayhead, Greenrow, Seaville and Town Council, as they are actually within Holme Wolsty with a much smaller number of households Low Parish.

  • The Past People of Allerdale
    The Past People of Allerdale nd 2 Edition Cockermouth Cemetery from the Lorton Road gates Tales and stories of the interesting and famous people of Allerdale complied and produced by Bereavement Services, Allerdale Borough Council Contents Page 1 Contents Chapter Page Preface 2 Cemeteries of Allerdale 3 The Workhouse 9 Silloth R.A.F 14 People of Silloth 16 People of Cockermouth 23 People of Maryport 44 People of Workington 60 People of Wigton 86 People of Aspatria 96 People of Keswick 98 People of Allerdale and the Surrounding Area 108 Bibliography 122 The Past People of Allerdale Page 1 Preface Page 2 Preface Throughout the years the area covered by Allerdale Borough Council had produced a remarkable number and variety of people of note, from famous scientists to sailors, wrestlers to witches and poets to cavemen. The following booklet not only contains information on famous residents such as William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian, but also people of local interest, perhaps not known to people outside their own town or village. Also included are a few rather more weird and disturbing stories involving murder, witchcraft, poisoning, disease and ghosts. If possible the place of burial of the people researched has been found, with the intention for the reader to walk around the local cemeteries, and find the graves while reading the story behind the headstone. If the burial place isn’t stated below the persons name it means it couldn’t be found in the registers, and the person must be buried elsewhere. At the end of each person’s brief biography, a “story” from the “Cumberland Chronicle” has been included, with all the stories being between 1777 and 1779.
