Carlisle development control committee met on 20/6/14

Members resolved to give authority to the Director (Economic Development) to issue approval for the proposal subject to the satisfactory completion of a Section 106 Agreement regarding the conservation management area(s) for wintering geese and breeding waders. Following this decision, the Secretary of State, under Article 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2010, has directed the Council not to grant permission without specific authorisation.

The first application for planning permission, Ref: 11/0118 was ultimately refused by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (see below) but a second application has now been submitted.

= First planning application February 2011 =

The first application for planning permission, Ref: 11/0118 was submitted to Carlisle City Council in February 2011 - see the application documents and representations received by the Council. The Planning Officer’s report recommended refusal of planning permission. The Planning Committee agreed and the formal Decision Notice was issued on 19 August 2011.

On 24 February 2012 the applicant lodged an Appeal with the Planning Inspectorate (Reference APP/E0915/A/12/2170838/WF). A Public Inquiry was held, split into two parts: Part 1, in October 2012 considered all outstanding matters except the MoD objection relating to the Eskdalemuir observatory; Part 2, in December 2012, was combined with the Beck Burn Inquiry so that the Eskdalemuir issues could be considered in the context of both Inquiries. Hallburn Inquiry Documents available on the Carlisle City Council website include:-    Carlisle City Council Proof of Evidence dated 15 August 2012,

a Summary, of the Carlisle City Council Proof, and

Proof of Evidence by P J Frampton on behalf of the Apellant.

The Appeal was dismissed in May 2013 by Eric Pickles as Secretary of State (following the Inspector’s recommendation to approve the proposals subject to a Condition relating to Eskdalemuir).
