CARL1 Land to the south east of Junction 44
217 If possible best to drain to School Sike / Brunstock Beck catchment as flooding implications on California Road and Gosling Sike catchment. Small area of sw flooding predicted on site - consider this area to be left as green space.
No designated heritage assets within site. There is the potential for unknown archaeological remains to survive and so any future application for the site would need to be accompanied by appropriate level of archaeological assessments and evaluation.
CARL 1 retains a rural character, despite its proximity to M6 Jn. 44. Screening planting to the northern boundary should be incorporated. A number of public footpaths lie adjacent to the site boundary. Good opportunities exist to develop green infrastructure linkages to the more rural area to the east, and to CARL 10 to the south.
No minerals or waste constraints.
The openness, overlooking and privacy of the outdoor play area spaces for James Rennie specialist communication and interaction college should be taken into account in the design and layout. Development should not overshadow the school. The density of the site might have to be reconsidered - favour bungalows in proximity to the school. There are currently insufficient school places to accommodate a development of this scale within walking distance of this site. There will therefore be a requirement for these developments to fund the delivery of a new primary school, including the provision of a school site.

CARL4 lies on fields which slope up, eastwards towards the M6. The site overlooks the existing residential area to the west, and is visually prominent from some aspects. The allocation would create a new field boundary to the east. This boundary should be demarcated by hedgerow and hedgerow trees. The incorporation of belts of trees within the development, alongside an appropriate layout, would serve to screen the development in the longer term, and break up its overall massing – which is key, given the topography and visual prominence of the site.

CARL 6 lies on the suburban-rural periphery of the city, and are clearly visible from the recently upgraded trunk road to the south west. The site features intact hedgerows and field boundaries, and benefits from extensive mature tree belt screening on its NW/SW boundary. This should therefore be incorporated into any subsequent development. Given the location of the sites, there is potential to create green infrastructure links through the sites to the wider countryside.

Allocation BRAM1, to the south west of the settlement, encroaches significantly into the surrounding open countryside. The allocation suggests that a new field boundary will be created on the western edge of the site. The site is visually prominent – it is clearly visible from the local road network, and from the A689. Given the prominence of this allocation, it can be regarded as a ‘gateway’ site, and as such, all suitable measures should be taken to sensitively integrate development into wider landscape and townscape character. The site is undulating, with characteristic hedgerow boundaries, of varying condition. A green infrastructure based approach, as highlighted above, retaining and

enhancing existing established hedgerows and trees should be taken to development. New boundaries should be delineated by hedgerows, reflecting local character. There is an opportunity to link the site to the wider footpath network, at the junction with Well Lonning, to the north east of the site. The development of the site should be informed by a design appraisal of Brampton, in particular the vernacular core, which would assess characteristic features including building material, design, layout, and line. The preferred design solution should seek to respond to the undulating topography of the site, rather than taking a heavily engineered approach.

prominent than BRAM 1, development on the more elevated areas would be clearly visible. Its proximity to the vernacular core of the settlement should form a key consideration in this respect. The good practice suggested in respect of BRAM 1 would also apply to the development of this site. An opportunity exists to link BRAM 2 and BRAM 1 to one another, and the wider footpath network, through linking into Well Lonning, and the path to the south of the site.

There is the potential for unknown archaeological remains to survive and so any future application for the site would need to be accompanied by appropriate level of archaeological assessments and evaluation.
BRAM 4, to the north of the settlement, is screened by existing mature hedgerows and tree belts. It lies adjacent to the Oakwood Park Hotel, the grounds of which display a strong parkland character. A number of mature trees lie within the allocation. Given these factors, the retention of existing trees and boundary planting in any subsequent development would serve to link the site with its context, screen wider views of the site, and break up the overall massing of the development. Two public rights of way link the site to the settlement to the south, and wider countryside to the north – presenting good opportunities for the development of green corridors to and through the site.
