Tree and Woodlands Utilities (electricity/ gas) Utilities (Sewerage/ drainage) Utilities (water) pollution from Keswick. Residential development to the north and central core of the village are denser than the southern area consisting of two storey semi-detached estate style housing to the north and a more traditional vernacular style in the centre. The site is located in an area of low density residential properties. It contributes to the sense of tranquility and rural and is an important feature in the local amenity. The site in its entirety does not lend itself comfortably for large scale housing development. There are several mature trees within the site boundary. Trees are a very important feature in this area so issues of design and landscape need careful consideration. If propose for development it is likely to be appropriate to serve a TPO on these trees as they have high amenity value. Ensure that all mature trees are designed into the areas of public open space within the scheme and that there are no changes of level within the RPA (root protection areas) so that the mature trees can be retained. Electricity- ENWL have a commitment to provide an electricity supply to new build development. ENWL determine the cost of connection and the developer would be expected to contribute part or all of this cost. Sites closer to sub-stations and existing developments are likely to result in lower connection costs. Further information is required to provide a detailed response. Gas - No capacity issues have been identified. It should be possible to supply sites on an individual basis from the existing low pressure system. However, to provide a firm response detailed information is required. There are no problems with the foul water network. There are no problems with the fresh water network.

Summary of assessment with regards to HRA/SA Housing Development: Significant positive effect on SA objective (++): SA3: To provide everyone with a decent home SA15: To improve access to jobs Significant negative effect on SA objective (--): None identified
Uncertain but potentially significant effect on SA objective (--? or ++?): SA7: To protect and enhance biodiversity (--?) Minor positive effect on SA objective (+): None identified Minor negative effect on objective (-): None identified Uncertain, potentially minor effect on SA objective (-? or +?): SA17: To protect historic assets and their settings (-?) Negligible effect on objective (0) SA2: To improve access to services, facilities, the countryside and open space SA5: To improve the health and wellbeing of people SA10: To improve local air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions Uncertain effect on objective (?) SA8: To preserve, enhance and manage landscape quality and character for future generations. Employment Development: LDNPA does not consider that this site is a reasonable alternative for employment development. Summary of Habitats Regulations Assessment Evidence: The potential scale of development at this site is medium (1.0-10.0ha). It is located within 250m of the River Derwent and Bassenthwaite Lake SAC. Summary of assessment findings (i.e. above) There are no environmental designations immediately affecting this site. However, the site is sensitive as it is an important feature adding value to the local amenity and it is not considered appropriate to develop the entire site. The northern most part of the site may have potential for the development of a small scheme subject to appropriate access arrangements. But taking into consideration alternative sites which are considered to be sequentially more favourable for allocation in Keswick this site is not selected as a preferred site. No Yes Is this site selected as a preferred option? If so, for what use? Suggested requirements if allocated
