Subject: Assessment of Planning Application 1/16/9005

We're waiting for A J Morton to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Cumbria County Council,

My request is made under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and/or the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

My request concerns information held by Cumbria County Council (CCC) on the assessment(s) made of the impact of 1/16/9005 prior to CCC's determination of 1/16/9005.

1. It is not clear from the DCR report on 1/16/9005 that the impact of 1/16/9005 on employment opportunities in the surrounding area was considered by Cumbria County County. Please provide all information held by Cumbria County Council (CCC) on CCC’s assessment of the possibility of any adverse impact on employment opportunities in the Primary Employment Area of 1/16/9005.

2. It is not clear from the DCR report on 1/16/9005 that CCC considered site restoration measures if the proposed facility had been built but then became non-operational. Please provide all information held by CCC on CCC’s consideration of appropriate measures necessary for site restoration as part of CCC's consideration of 1/16/9005.

3. The DCR report on 1/16/9005 suggests that CCC considered the location of the proposal to be industrial. Please provide all information held by CCC on CCC’s consideration of the mixed nature of the location and landscape (which is not purely industrial) in CCC’s assessment of planning application 1/16/9005.

4. Please provide all information held by CCC on CCC’s consideration of whether planning application 1/16/9005 complied with all the requirements of Carlisle City Council policy SP 6 of the Carlisle District Local Plan 2015-2030 including with regard to the mixed nature of the location and landscape.

5. The DCR report on 1/16/9005 makes no mention of the perception of harm except to say that Carlisle City Council considered that the assessment of the application should consider the perception of harm. Please provide all information held by CCC on CCC’s consideration of the perception of harm in CCC’s assessment of planning application 1/16/9005 prior to CCC’s determination of 1/16/9005.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

A J Morton

Dear Cumbria County Council,

Thank you for your response to my information request.

I am sorry that the fifth part of my request was not clear. There are many examples where the 'Perception of harm' is cited as a material planning consideration as distinct from actual harm. One such example is Cumbria County Council's committee report on planning application 4/10/9001 where CCC stated :

"The actual risk and the objective perception of risk or harm to human health are material considerations as far as this application is concerned"

At appeal, the inspector upheld CCC's decision and stated "perception of harm is capable of being a material consideration".

Given this clarification of "perception of harm" as a material planning consideration, please confirm that CCC holds no information regarding any consideration by CCC of the perception of harm in CCC's assessment of planning application 1/16/9005 prior to the determination of 1/16/9005.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Yours sincerely,

A J Morton
