Plans for 60 new affordable homes in Brampton will be discussed by councillors next week.
Castles and Coasts Housing Association is hoping to develop a site on land to the south of Greenhill in the market town.
Members of Cumberland Council’s planning committee are due to meet at Allerdale House to consider a number of planning applications on Wednesday October 16.
The housing association’s application also requests full planning permission for associated open space and infrastructure as well as one open market building plot.
The proposal includes 30 two-bedroom houses, 20 three-bedroom houses and four four-bedroom houses. All of the properties will be semi-detached and two-storey.
Six two-bedroom bungalows planned for the site will also be semi-detached.
Brampton Parish Council said it would only support the application if a local lettings clause was imposed and an off-site play area was created.
Fifty letters have been sent to Cumberland Council about the development – five in support, 44 against and one comment.
According to the planning report it is recommended that members grant authority to issue approval, subject to conditions, be granted to the head of development management subject to a satisfactory legal agreement being agreed with the applicant.
Conditions of the agreement include a financial contribution of £6,500 to fund a Traffic Regulation Order to deal with changes to the speed limit order including its publication, implementation and ancillary work and the provision and maintenance of a satisfactorily nutrient neutral development to mitigate the impact of phosphates pollution from the development on the River Eden SAC.
The report said: “If the S106 legal agreement is not signed, authority be given to the head of development management to issue refusal.”
