flag A housing plan near Threlkeld Quarry is invalid without biodiversity data, halting development over environmental and flood concerns.

flag A proposal to build five homes near Threlkeld Quarry in the Lake District has been declared invalid by the National Park Authority due to missing biodiversity net gain data. flag The Threlkeld Housing Association's plan, which sought to develop what it called redundant land, faces strong local opposition over concerns about flooding, inadequate road access, and harm to wildlife habitats including unimproved grassland supporting red squirrels and birds of prey. flag Residents and United Utilities warn the site’s existing drainage system is insufficient and could worsen flood risks. flag The application cannot proceed until BNG information is submitted, at which point the process will restart with public consultation.
