Four detached dwellings at Land at Jubilee Gardens, Stainton, Penrith

“Amended information was submitted to address the aforementioned concerns. Natural England were re-consulted but no further comments were received. However, the submitted information was assessed by the Council’s Environmental Planning & Projects Manager – Nutrient Neutrality officer who deemed it acceptable.”

“Leaving the above aside, the calculations for the area of land required for fallowing in the NN Statement are confused. Based on the figures in the original NN report, a pre-2030 P load of 0.15 kg/yr needs to be mitigated. Using the soil drainage and rainfall parameters referenced in the report, 1 ha of LFA land has a P export rate of 0.64 kg/yr. It correctly calculates the amount of land required being 0.23 ha (0.15 / 0.64).”

“Dacre Parish Council – Responded on the 16 th April 2025 Object to the development on the following grounds: Loss of Green Space and Residential Amenity The proposal would result in the removal of a valuable area of green open space within the development, contributing to the overall amenity and quality of life of residents.”

“Lack of Affordable Housing Provision The proposal fails to include any affordable housing, despite being a clear extension of the existing residential development. This is inconsistent with Policy HS1 (Affordable Housing), which requires that developments over a certain size (and extensions to major developments) contribute to meeting the need for affordable housing in the district.”

“Councillor L Baker queried the Parish Council objections noting concerns regarding drainage and the potential for flooding. The Planning Officer replied that the statutory flood authority had assessed the application as required and considered the drainage on site to be adequate.”

“Councillor M Robinson asked that the BNG sought as part of the recommendation be clarified. The Planning Officer responded that the S106 would seek an off-site parcel of land be left undeveloped as mitigation and that additional off-site planting be identified.”

“RESOLVED – That that subject to a S106 agreement being secured to provide for off-site mitigation and off-site Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out below;”
