Dalston is going to carry out a Neighbourhood Plan. This is a community led spatial plan which has statutory backing from the Localism Act 2011. A Neighbourhood Plan can:

  • Decide where and what type of development should happen in an area.
  • Include policies, such as design standards, which take precedence over existing local planning policies.

The proposal to carry out a Neighbourhood Plan was announced at the recent Annual Parish Meeting. Leaflets were distributed to enable residents to start the involvement process through a very simple questionnaire. If you have such a questionnaire, please ensure that you return this to the Dalston Co-op drop box or post through the Forge Green letter box.

Volunteers are required to assist the steering group. If you are interested in helping with this process, please contact the Clerk here.

Residents Group Formed to object to all or part of Story housing application
Following two public meetings and the exhibition in Victory Hall of Story's proposals, it is clear that many residents object to this development (either outright or in its proposed form). Some who attended the exhibition on 17th November decided to start a network of those concerned, in order to seek and share information, and pass it on to relevant bodies. If you would like to join this network, please contact David Wilson on wilson.anderson@talk21.com, or at The Old Vicarage (tel. 710381).

The Parish Council will consder it's response to the proposed development of 128 houses between Townhead and Station Roads at its meeting in the Victory Hall on 12th February 2013. The agenda for this meeting can be downloaded by clicking here. The report by the Working Group, which has been circulated to PC members, can be downloaded by clicking here and following the links.
The Parish Council has appointed a Working Group to examine the planning application in detail. This group has started work and will report back to the full Parish Council from time to time.
Story Homes Planning Application for 128 Houses Between Townhead and Station Roads
At their meeting on 12th February 2013 Dalston Parish Councillors voted to recommend to Carlisle City Council that this application should be refused. The voting was 8 in favour of this resolution with 4 members preferring the 3rd option in the Group's Section 9.0 list. The working group have been tasked with the job of drafting the full PC response, which will be confirmed at the next PC meeting on 19th February.
7th February 2013 - From information received from the local planning authority it is likely that this application will not be considered by the Development Control Committee of Carlisle City Council until the June meeting at the earliest. The reason given is that alterations to the submitted plans are in preparation and these have not been received by the planners. Further updates will be posted here when available.
8th April 2013 - Amended plans for this application have now been published. These will be considered by Dalston Parish Council at an early date (although they have probably arrived too late for consideration at the 9th April PC meeting). Check back here for updates.

28th April 2013 It is now almost certain that the Story Homes Planning Application for 128 Houses between Townhead and Station Roads will be considered by the Development Control Committee of Carlisle City Council on June 7th 2013. This means that Dalston Parish Council will submit its final consultation response soon after the May PC meeting. It should be noted that the PC response is more or less complete. The PC already has its own internal report and this will be submitted, along with a new letter from Indigo Planning. All of this will be made public after the May PC meeting.

The Parish Council will recommend refusal of this application in its current form.
This website is independent of any grouping, including Dalston Parish Council. It is happy to publish, subject to normal editorial considerations, reports reflecting all opinions relating to this planning application.
