16th July 2009. Officers recommended
that Planning Permission for the Industrial Unit be granted and did not recommend any conditions regarding protection

Planning Application to extend an agricultural shed at Cocklakes.
Application number 7/2008/3025 appeared on the Lake District National
Park Authority's (LDNPA) list for the week ending 12th April 2008 (published at the end of April).
This is a proposal to extend a shed for which permission was granted in November 2007. The location is adjacent
to the Railway trackbed at Cocklakes, between Troutbeck and Penruddock, south of the A66.
The plans, as submitted, were ambiguous - and could damage the Railway trackbed.
The LDNPA formally wrote to CKP Railways plc on the 28th of April 2008, asking
for comments. The LDNPA requested comments by the 14th of May.
