Carlisle<\/a> area has only a 3.84-year supply of deliverable housing land.\n<\/p>\n\n It says 694 active affordable housing applications have been recorded across Dalston, Great Orton, Carleton and Cummersdale. The scheme would provide 29 affordable homes.\n<\/p>\n
\n The revised layout removes an eastern vehicle entrance and private driveways opening directly onto Nook Lane.\n<\/p>\n
\n It also adds 20 visitor parking spaces and further tree and hedge planting, while retaining the proposed total of 99 homes.\n<\/p>\n
\n The original plans received a refusal recommendation from Cumberland Council’s highways authority over access, visibility, parking and the internal road layout.\n<\/p>\n
\n No updated highways response to the amendments had been published at the time of writing.\n<\/p>\n
\n United Utilities has meanwhile asked the council not to approve the drainage strategy until Story Homes provides further information about the proposed pumping rate for foul water.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company said foul and surface-water disposal was acceptable in principle, but added that parts of the detailed design might not be acceptable without further work.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dalston Parish Council argues the existing wastewater system is already under pressure and fears the development could increase pollution entering the River Caldew.\n<\/p>\n
\n United Utilities’ response does not say the treatment works lacks capacity or that the homes would necessarily increase sewage spills.\n<\/p>\n
\n Education officers have also confirmed that the amendments do not alter their earlier response because the number and mix of homes remain unchanged.\n<\/p>\n
\n Story Homes says local schools have capacity, although the parish council disputes the forecasts and argues current pupil numbers leave less room than council estimates suggest.\n<\/p>\n
\n The developer has urged Cumberland Council to approve the application ‘without delay’, while the parish council is seeking refusal.\n<\/p>\n
\n The application remains under consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The developer also described suggestions that the number of objections should carry greater planning weight as ‘absurd’, saying…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":704706,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-704705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=704705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/704706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=704705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=704705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=704705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
