SHLAA - Scotby

Deliverable

Site Reference: SC02 - Field at Hillhead, Scotby

Location: Field at Hillhead, Scotby

Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This site lies outside but adjacent to the settlement boundary for Scotby. There are a number of constraints on it including part Flood Zone 2 and 3, within 250m of a historic landfill in the east and it is within a groundwater vulnerability zone. There is also an Ethylene Pipeline that cuts through this site with the remainder of the land being designated a NW Ethylene Pipeline Buffer Zone. Land here is flat.
There may be potential for up to 15% of the western part of the site to be developed, as this would have potential to relate well to existing residential dwellings and lies outside Flood Zone 2 and 3.

Site Reference: SC04 - Site Off Broomfallen Road, Scotby

Location: Land behind Scotby Road, Scotby

Housing Potential: Deliverable  (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: Potential for housing development subject to suitable access being provided.

Site Reference: SC05 - Land behind Scotby Village Hall

Location; Land behind Scotby Village Hall
Scotby

Housing Potential: Deliverable  (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This site lies outside the settlement boundary for Scotby, however it is close to all residential amenities and would fit in well within the existing settlement. There are a number of constraints relating to this site. Gas pipelines cut across the N from E to W, the NE area is part of an Ethylene Pipeline Buffer Zone and this land lies partly within Flood Zone 3 and 2, relating to the stream that runs along the NE boundary. Due to flood risk, development of this site would be subject to a Sequential Test to demonstrate that there are no reasonably available sites in areas with a lower probability of flooding that would be appropriate to the type of development or land use proposed.  This site will be considered against other sites put forward for Scotby. There may however be potential for development of a proportion of this site in the area that lies outside the flood zone, gas pipelines and ethylene pipeline buffer zone. This site therefore has potential for development of part of this site for housing.

Developable

Site Reference: SC01 - Land behind Scotby Road

Location: Land behind Scotby Road, Scotby

Housing Potential: Developable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: Scotby has quick and easy access to Carlisle, but also has its own range of local services, including a primary school, shop, village hall, pub and church.

This site lies outside the current settlement boundary, it is bordered on three sides by existing housing development, and would form a logical infill site in this part of Scotby.  However, there is no current suitable access to the site, and this constraint would need to be overcome.

Site Reference: SC09 - Land behind Scotby Road

Location: Land behind Scotby Road, Scotby

Housing Potential: Developable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: Scotby has quick and easy access to Carlisle, but also has its own range of local services, including a primary school, shop, village hall, pub and church.

This site lies outside the current settlement boundary, it is bordered on three sides by existing housing development, and would form a logical infill site in this part of Scotby.  However, there is no current suitable access to the site, and this constraint would need to be overcome.

No Potential

Site Reference: OC08 - Field 2979, Cumwhinton

Location: Field 2979 Cumwhinton

Housing Potential: None Email us about this site.

Site Assessment: Greenfield site in open countryside.  Some distance from settlement boundaries of either Scotby or Cumwhinton.  The development of the site for housing would be contrary to NPPF Housing, which states that housing should be developed in suitable locations which offer a range of community facilities, and with good access to jobs, key services and infrastructure.

Site Reference: OC13 - Lonning Garth, Lamley Bank, Scotby

Location: Lonning Garth Lamley Bank Scotby

Housing Potential: None Email us about this site.

Site Assessment: Residential development rejected on appeal in 1987.  Numerous further enquiries for a dwelling on the site met with advice that this was unacceptable on the grounds of introducing sporadic development in the open countryside.  The site is located some distance from the settlement boundary of Scotby and therefore lies in open countryside.  The site appears to be below the threshold of 0.4 ha, but the owner has failed to supply a site size.

Site Reference: OC40 - Land at Lambley Bank, Scotby

Location: Land at Lambley Bank Scotby

Housing Potential: None Email us about this site.

Site Assessment: This is a greenfield site which lies outside the existing settlement boundary for Scotby.  The existing pattern of development in this area is sporadic.  Under current policy it is a location where new housing is unacceptable.

Site Reference: SC03 - Land off Ladysteps, Scotby

Location: Land off Ladysteps, Scotby

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a greenfield site that is currently used as agricultural land. It lies outside, but adjoining the settlement boundary for Scotby. The main issue with this site relates to access as the only vehicle access point is via Ladysteps which is a very narrow road that currently only serves the properties that overlook this site. There is one route onto Broomfallen Road from this site however this is very narrow and would only be suitable as a pedestrian access point. Ladysteps is a narrow road and therefore may not have the capacity to carry higher volumes of traffic relating to the development of this site.  Due to this there is therefore no potential for residential development on this site.

Site Reference: SC06 - Land at Park Road, Scotby

Location: Land at Park Road, Scotby

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: The development of this site would result in backland development that would extend the settlement boundary to the west in an unnatural manner, sandwiched between the school playground boundary and the Carlisle/Settle railway line.  There is planning permission for the development of a detached dwelling (10/0468) adjacent to the eastern boundary of this site, in a paddock next to Rydal.  This may reduce the potential of the rest of this land for housing development due to access restraints. There is also a Medium Pressure Gas Pipeline that runs through this site, parallel with the Southern boundary. 

Site Reference: SC07 - Land Adj 08 Ghyll Road, Scotby

Location: Land Adj 08 Ghyll Road Scotby

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a greenfield agricultural site on the edge of the village, outside the settlement boundary for Scotby. The site is therefore not well contained within the existing settlement pattern. Development here could lead to further expansion into the rural area to the SE of Scotby which would not be favourable. There is also an Ethylene Pipeline Buffer Zone that crosses the site. There is therefore no potential for development of this site for housing.

Site Reference: SC08 - Gladsmuir, Scotby

Location: Gladsmuir, Scotby

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This small greenfield site is located far to the south of the Scotby village boundary. It is therefore poorly related to any established settlement and would constitute unsustainable development.
