Planning approved for our highly anticipated development on Orton Road in Carlisle

Posted on: December 19, 2024

We’re delighted to have been given the green light for our highly anticipated development, Sandsfield Way, located on Orton Road in Carlisle.

The construction of 90 new homes will begin in February 2025, where we’ll create a community of 2, 3, 4 & 5-bedroom homes with a high specification and energy efficient features. Sandsfield Way will include some of our most popular house types, providing homes with open plan kitchen/dining areas, modern living spaces and characterful exteriors.

As part of the development, we will contribute £520,000 towards local education and public open spaces, including the installation of a new footpath connecting Sandsfield Way to nearby Priorwood Close which will significantly improve safety and access in the area.

John Blue, our Land and Sales Director, said: “Receiving full planning permission for this highly anticipated development for Carlisle is a fantastic way to end 2024, and we are looking forward to getting on site and constructing 90 new high-specification properties which residents will be proud to call home.

“For multiple reasons, planning permission being granted for new housing developments has been rare over the past two years so it’s really exciting that we’ve been given the go-ahead to build much-needed new homes in this area.

“Sandsfield Way will be an attractive and sustainable development located within a popular area to the west of Carlisle city centre, and we expect demand to be high for this development.”

Sandsfield Way is located less than four miles from Carlisle city centre on the junction of Orton Road and Sandsfield Road where there is a wide range of amenities and also benefits from great transport links with easy access to the M6 and A595.

Further benefits to the area include a communal green for the entire community to enjoy as well as an integrated Sustainable Urban Drainage System that will enhance local habitats.
