Penrith Town Council’s Planning Committee will meet on Monday to consider 12 planning applications submitted to Westmorland and Furness Council including five applications for Omega Proteins covering external lighting and landscaping as discharge of conditions linked to previously approved developments at the site.
Other applications on the agenda for the eight town councillors include plans for:
Signage and a sales office at Penrith Golf Course connected
to a new 194 property housing development.
Signage at a new veterinary clinic under construction off
Carleton Hill Road, Carleton.
A discharge of conditions linked to drainage for new jet
wash facilities at Morrisons.
Change of use of a first-floor former hair and beauty salon
on Angel Lane to a two-bedroom flat.
One of the applications, for advertisement consent at the new veterinary clinic in Carleton, has already drawn an objection on behalf of the town council by the Town Clerk. The plans, submitted by Frame & Swift, propose 3D aluminium fascia lettering in green and blue with a backlit bar between two rows of lettering. The signage would measure 125cm high and 718cm long. The Town Clerk’s objection on behalf of the council submitted to Westmorland and Furness Council earlier this month claims “The illuminated signage is intrusive within a rural area”.
The committee, made up of eight town councillors, will
discuss and vote on whether to support or object to each application as
consultees in the planning process.
The meeting will take place at 5:15pm on Monday at Unit 2,
Church House, Friargate.
