SHLAA - Castle
Deliverable
Site Reference: CA09 - Portland Square
Location: 1-5 &
15-19 Portland Square, -4 & 1-5 Alfred Street North, 5
Brunswick Street, Carlisle
Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email
us about this site)
Site Assessment: This site lies within the
Primary Office Area and Portland Sq/Chatsworth Sq Conservation
Area. It is unlikely that these buildings would be allocated
for housing, as they have a history of previous use as dwellings,
and current policy allows change back to residential provided that
residential amenity and amenity of neighbouring uses is not
compromised. The site is too small to make a strategic
contribution to housing requirements, but use for residential would
be acceptable.
Site Reference: CA20 - Land at Victoria Place
Location: Land at
Victoria Place, Carlisle
Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email
us about this site)
Site Assessment: This site is shown as white
land on the CDLP map. The previous use of the buildings on
the corner of Hartington Street and Victoria Place was a health
care clinic. The rest of the site is in use as a car park,
and grounds to St Gabriel's convent. The site is almost
entirely surrounded by residential uses. Opportunities for
access are available, and the site is suitably located for
residential development, having good accessibility to local
services, including schools, shops and public transport.
Central clinic consists of two late Victorian buildings with 1960s
additions. Demolition and redevelopment should be acceptable,
but as the front portion of the site lies within a conservation
area, any new development would have to preserve or enhance the
character of the area.
Developable
Site Reference: CA52 - Former Head Post Office, Warwick
Road
Location: Former Head
Post Office (HPO) Warwick Road Carlisle CA1 1AB
Housing Potential: Developable (Email
us about this site)
Site Assessment: This is a vacant building
which lies within the Primary Retail Area and the City Centre
Conservation Area. Current policy does not preclude
redevelopment for residential or other uses, whilst at the same
time recognising that it is important to maintain the vitality and
viability of the City Centre. Housing is an important element
in most mixed use, multi storey developments. Current housing
policy in the Local Plan (H2) makes provision for housing outside
Primary Residential Areas subject to criteria covering amenity,
character, access and parking. This site is locationally
acceptable and is therefore considered suitable for a mixed use
scheme with a residential element. However, the limited size
of the site, i.e. Less than 0.4ha makes it unlikely that an
allocation will be placed on the site, as it is too small to make a
meaningful contribution to overall housing requirements through the
Local Plan process. The need for great care to be taken in the
design of development to ensure it meets the high standards of its
locality mean that it is unlikely that this site would be
deliverable within the first 5 years of the plan.
No Potential
Site Reference: CA57 - Cecil Street Car Park
Location: Cecil
Street Car Park Botchergate Carlisle
Housing Potential: None (Email
us about this site)
Site Assessment: This site is currently used as
a Pay and Dispaly car park and is shown on the Local Plan Proposals
Map as White Land. It is adjacent to William Street car
park. Both car parks operate at a fairly high capacity, and
are popular with commuters and shoppers in the day time, and are
convenient for Botchergate in the evening. Although the site
is in a good location for housing development, being close to a
range of local services including public transport, schools and
shops, the resulting effects of reducing the amount of car parking
available in this area will need to be carefully considered.
The June 2009 Joint Parking and Policy Statement produced by
Cumbria County Council and Carlisle City Council has Policy P6
which states that consideration will be given to increasing
capacity at ... Cecil Street and William Street car
parks. In addition, there is a proposal for an inner relief
road, for which one option is a route along Cecil Street,
continuing to South Henry Street across the car park. Taking
all these factors into account, it is considered that the site
should continue in use as a car park for the immediate future.
