The Marchon site is a 52-hectare brownfield site located on the outskirts of the coastal town of Whitehaven. Marchon is uniquely positioned alongside St Bees Head, which is only Heritage Coastline in the North-West of England, while the site also has views across to the east that are framed by the Western Lakeland Fells. The site is included in the recently adopted Copeland Local Plan 2021-2039 under two separate allocations. The northern part of the site is allocated for some 500 homes, whilst the remainder of the wider site is identified as a wider regeneration opportunity site suitable for a range and mix of uses including office, employment, residential, tourism associated development, community spaces, biodiversity and public open spaces.

We are keen to see the redevelopment of this significant brownfield site to deliver housing to meet the current housing needs in Whitehaven. The site requires remediation and we are working to establish a route for bringing the site forward for housing development.

We have an active and willing landowner and we now have the opportunity to approach development of the entire site in a masterplan-led manner, to ensure the extensive potential of the site is fully unlocked delivering significant benefits to the town.

The White Croft site is a 13.5 hectare greenfield site on the outskirts of the coastal town of Maryport. The town is experiencing a significant rejuvenation as a result of over £13 million investment to transform it into a destination for arts, heritage and leisure. The plan for the town is bearing fruit and there has been a 35% increase in footfall in the town over the past 12 months, which has generated an uplift in demand for residential and commercial property.

Allocated in the Allerdale Local Plan as a housing site with a potential capacity of 300 homes, its redevelopment would be an opportunity significantly increase the supply of housing in the town and deliver a housing mix of types, sizes, and tenures to appeal to a range of households.

The owner of the site is actively seeking a developer willing to take a masterplan approach to unlock its potential.

The Corus site is located on the former Corus Rail steel works in Workington.

The site has an extant planning consent, underpinned by a masterplan, for mixed use development comprising residential, commercial, small scale retail, community and leisure uses.

Persimmon Homes secured an option on the northern portion of the site and has delivered residential development over two phases - and provided the main access road from the adjacent industrial estate to north.

A development opportunity exists on the southern portion of the site and the landowner is seeking developer interest to deliver the remaining elements of the masterplan. This presents potential for significant housing development and the delivery of the non-residential uses, which would drive the urban transformation of the coast area of Workington.

The Caldew Riverside site is a 2.2 hectare brownfield site that we own and located within Carlisle city centre next to the River Caldew.

Allocated in the Carlisle Local Plan as a regeneration opportunity, the redevelopment of the site is one of our key priorities. A core element of the strategy for renewal of the city centre is to increase the resident population and due to its position and we consider the Caldew site to be an excellent location for a city centre living development.

The site is perfectly located for city centre living - within five minute walking distance of the city centre, the railway station and the new £78 million University of Cumbria campus that is to be created at the Citadels site.

Working with Homes England, we have produced an indicative masterplan for the site comprising of a mixture of apartments and townhouses. On the back of the masterplan, we have secured funding from the Brownfield Land Release Fund and are now undertaking a remediation and site preparation scheme to get the site development ready.

We will be launching an Expression of Interest process later in the year in order to secure a developer for the site.
