White Croft, Maryport

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.
