Report Proposal Planning permission is sought is for the erection of a wooden lodge for residential purposes at Lane Head stables, Deanscales, Cockermouth. The proposed 3 bedroomed transportable wooden lodge is required to accommodate a separate home for a family member whom requires affordable accommodation in the locality and this would enable the family to provide extra security to support the family stable business. The stable currently provides livery for 14 horses but has capacity for 18 horses. The stable provides a full livery service, has grazing, provides riding lessons and seeks to provide riding holidays in the future. The planning history associated with the site is outlined above. External materials would be western red cedar wood with metro tile roofing tile Site and Surrounding Area The application site lies in the open countryside approximately 310 metres east of the A5086 that runs through part of the linear village of Deanscales. The site is served by an access lane (310 metres in length) that serves the stables and the existing associated dwelling. The site currently includes a stable for approximately 18 horses, an existing dwelling house, stable yard and exercise areas. The site proposed for the lodge currently forms part of a grassed sloping area of land to the north of the stable complex. The existing stables are wooden and single storey in nature. The stable complex is within a former quarry known as ‘Bouch Quarry’. Deanscales is a linear settlement that has a public house within the village. The site is isolated but is well screened by quarry features. Policies Under paragraph 14 of The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) there is a presumption in favour of sustainable development and outlines the following in relation to decision making “approving development proposals that accord with development plan without delay; and where the development plan is absent, silent or relevant policies are out-of-date, granting planning permission unless: • any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in this Framework taken as a whole: or • specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted”. Under chapter 6 of the NPPF relating to delivering a wide choice of high quality homes, paragraph 56 states that “good design is a key aspect of sustainable development, is indivisible from good planning, and should contribute positively to making places better for people”. Para 58, stresses the importance of establishing a strong sense of place, responding to local character and reflecting identity and visual attractiveness as a result of good architecture. In reference to houses in rural areas, housing should be located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rual communities. Chapter 6, Paragraph 55 of the National Planning Policy Framework advises local authorities should avoid new isolated homes in the open countryside unless there are special circumstances such as: • the essential need for a rural worler to live permanetly at or near their place of work int eh countryside; or • where such development would represent the optimal viable use of a heritage assest or would be approproaite enabling developing to secure the furture of heritage assets; or • where the development would re-use redundant or disused buildings and lead to an enhancement to the immeidate setting; or • the exception quality or innovative nature of the design of the dwelling Having regard to the advice set out in the NPPF it is considered acceptable to continue to apply some weight to the policies within the Allerdale Local Plan if they accord with the policies set out in the NPPF. Assessment Members are requested to assess the principle of the housing development at this location, especially given its location in the open countryside and the nearest village Deanscales being some 300 metres distant. The applicant has set out that the dwelling is required to enable family members to live close to the stable to help support the running of it and provide security for the stables complex. The principle of the proposal relates specifically to paragraph 55 of the National Planning Policy Framework that states isolated dwelling in the open countryside should be avoided unless there are special circumstance such as: The essential need for a rural worker to live permanently at or near their place of work in the countryside Under this policy only essential need dwelling houses i.e. employment or local need should be allowed to be developed outside the designated settlements in the open countryside. This policy seeks to avoid sporadic housing development and alternatively concentrate it within the identified sustainable locations of defined settlements. This similarly safeguards the character, appearance and amenity value of the open countryside. The applicant’s case centres on the need for the applicants to provide extra security and provide help to the existing livery business. The dwelling would accommodate the daughter of the owner and her young family. However officers consider that this evidence does not constitute sufficient information (given no financial viability assessment has been provided) setting out why 2 essential need dwellings are required at the site. The applicant’s daughter does not currently work within the stable full time. The council has previously refused cases e.g. Hayrigg Farm, Pelutho (2/2012/0083) and Syke Farm, Wigton (2/2013/0048) for isolated new build dwellings in the open countryside based on welfare grounds but related to farming and where no need been demonstrated. Furthermore, the livery stable at Cumberland Lodge, Winscales required a single essential dwelling for no more than 25 horses as approved at Development Panel. If allowed the proposal would act as precedent for similar proposals and officers consider the proposal is contrary to paragraph 55 of the NPPF and the policy context and objectives of Policy HS4 of the First Alterations to the Allerdale Local Plan and EN25 of the Allerdale Local Plan. The National Planning Policy Framework retains the importance protecting the open countryside from non essential housing development and the site by virtue of its isolated position also conflicts with its objectives for sustainable development. Where such development would represent the optimal viable use of a heritage asset or would be appropriate enabling development to secure the future of heritage assets There are no heritage assets on the site, therefore the proposal would not represent a viable use of a heritage asset. Where the development would re-use redundant or disused buildings and lead to an enhancement to the immediate setting The proposal is for a new build in the open countryside adjacent to the existing wooden stables. Officers consider the development of this site would not necessarily lead to an enhancement of the site or the stable complex. The exceptional quality or innovative nature of the design of the dwelling The applicant has made no reference to the scheme resulting in an innovative design and the scheme can not be considered acceptable under this statement. Drainage The surface water from the roof of the proposed lodge will be collected and used in stables. Foul drainage would be disposed of to a proposed treatment plant to share with existing dwelling. Access No representations have been received from Cumbria Highways but they will be reported to Development Panel. Local Finance Considerations Having regard to S70 (2) of the Town and Country Planning Act the following local finance considerations are relevant to the consideration of the application: There will be benefits arising from the scheme if approved through

    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.

    Annual Monitoring Report 2011/12 Introduction Background 1.1 This is the eighth Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) produced by Allerdale Borough Council. It covers the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012. 1.2 The AMR reports on a number of monitoring statistics, including progress made towards the Local Plan. The publication of the AMR enables the Council to publish a comprehensive set of data about the Borough that is easily and publicly accessible, to meet a wide range of data requests that Planning Services receives. 1.3 The current system of plan making is designed to be a continuous process, with the local planning authority regularly preparing, adopting and reviewing Local Development Documents, to take account of changing national and local circumstances. Keeping development plans up-to-date is assessed by the AMR. Changes to Monitoring of Indicators 1.4 As part of the package of reforms to the planning system put forward by the current government, there is no longer a requirement for local planning authorities to monitor indicators previously set at the national and regional level. Instead, the onus is for local planning authorities to determine indicators which best complements their policy requirements. 1.5 Although there is an intention to remove the requirement to submit the AMR to the Government, the Localism Act requires for Planning Authorities to publish an AMR on the implementation of their development plan and Local Development Scheme. 1.6 At the July 2011 meeting of the Cumbria Monitoring Officer’s Group (CMOG) the implications of emerging legislation and guidance, and the removal of information concerning the core indicator set were discussed.

    What is the Preferred Options Open Space Designation Paper? This paper on open space designations, wildlife, and geological sites forms part of the Council’s ‘Preferred Options’ consultation on the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 2). The Council is seeking your views on open space designations proposed within the parts of the Borough that lie outside the Lake District National Park. We welcome comments on the suitability of sites identified for designation, as well as any observations on those sites where designation has been judged unnecessary or inappropriate. Associated documents to view as part of the Council’s ‘Preferred Options’ consultation are: • The Preferred Options document • Preferred Options Book of Maps • Discarded Sites document (by locality) • Settlement Boundary Review document The Council is currently working on the Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) or ‘Allerdale Local Plan (Part 2)’, in which sufficient areas of land within the Borough outside the National Park will identified or ‘allocated’ for specific types of development and land uses such as housing, employment, and retail for the period up to 2029. Other sites will be safeguarded from development for purposes such as open space. This document follows on from the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) (ALP Part 1) adopted in July 2014 which sets out the Council’s strategic and planning policies for the use and development of land outside the Lake District National Park. The process of preparing the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 2) has now reached the ‘Preferred Options’ consultation stage, following on from the ‘Issues and Options’ consultations, which took place in July 2014 and January 2015.
