6th May 2008

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, are 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.

A planning application for a warehouse on the North Lakes Industrial Park at Flusco was shown on the Eden District Council list of planning applications received up to 29th November 2007.

Eden District Council granted full approval on the 15th of January 2008, on condition that the development is carried out in accordance with the proposals submitted.

The application as submitted does NOT affect the Keswick to Penrith Railway trackbed alignment.

CKP Railways plc commented that consultation will be required if the site is changed or any associated activities could affect the trackbed.

The last time we asked people to write and object to a
Planning Application which could obstruct the trackbed
was in January 2007.

We continue to monitor weekly lists of planning applications and will tell you on this page
when your support is needed.
