MADE sets out 1,300-home vision for Carnforth
Summary
MADE Partnership has published an early-stage vision for a 200-acre site near Carnforth, proposing around 1,300 homes alongside employment space, green infrastructure and community facilities. The scheme would require removal of the land from the Green Belt and is intended to support Lancaster’s housing land supply and longer-term economic growth.
Why it matters
The proposal could affect local planning policy, Green Belt considerations and future housing delivery in Lancaster. Surveyors may need to follow the evolving local plan process, land value implications and the potential for a major urban extension in the area.
Key points
- Early-stage plans cover about 200 acres south-east of Carnforth.
- The scheme includes approximately 1,300 homes, employment space and an ecological corridor.
- MADE is seeking removal of the site from the Green Belt through the local plan process.
- Lancaster City Council’s housing land supply is stated to be 2.8 years.
- Public consultation and further work with the council are expected before any planning application.
