Green light for Story’s Carlisle resi scheme

Cumberland Council has granted permission to bring forward new homes on land south of the A69 in Scotby, to the east of Carlisle. Story Homes’ proposals, comprising 112 houses, of which 33 will be classified as affordable, are expected to complement the exiting neighbourhood and include biodiversity enhancements. The scheme will feature two- to five-bedroom properties as well as the delivery of new public open space to be used by both new and existing residents. Work on site at the new development is set to begin in early 2025. David Hayward, land manager for Story Homes in Cumbria and Scotland, said: “Our scheme has been designed to provide an appropriate extension to the village of Scotby and will deliver a range of modern family homes centred on flexible living.  “The scheme will also provide a number of benefits to the local community, such as the provision of 33 much-needed new affordable homes for local people with differing requirements, attractive street scenes, biodiversity gains and areas of new open space.” View other planning applications in Cumbria >> Image from Story Homes
