Please see as follows from the Vendor's Planning Consultant with regards future

development:-

"The Hillside Farm site is outside of but adjoining the Principal settlement of Workington (defined in the Local Plan to include Seaton) which is identified as the focus for new development in Allerdale. Local Plan policies relating to replacement buildings, extensions to existing building and conversion or reuse of existing buildings indicate redevelopment potential here. Moreover, the fact that the site comprises an existing dwelling and numerous agricultural buildings some which will benefit from permitted development rights for change of use from agricultural to residential use (subject to criteria) provide a strong basis for discussions with the local planning authority. Against this background there is scope for a more comprehensive approach along the lines of the indicative sketch proposal where there would be wider benefits associated with such development including improving the visual appearance of the site in the street scene and wider landscape setting." For further information including the indicative sketch proposal please contact the Vendor's Planning Consultant, Paul Brailsford of Freeths LLP on Paul. or
