Planning committee

Decided by Allerdale Planning Committee on 15 Jul 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

Officers advised approval because the harms did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing and other benefits.
The parish council and neighbours raised concerns about highway safety, sustainability, flooding, wildlife, rural character and residential amenity.
The committee refused the application by three votes to one, with three abstentions, because of harm to Brookside’s residential amenity.

Site constraints 4

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Also on the record

1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Brigham built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
