Thomas Armstrong Construction Ltd has submitted plans for 51 homes at Flosh Meadows in Cleator, combining three previously approved schemes totalling 47 properties.

Thomas Armstrong Construction Ltd has submitted plans for a 51-home development at Flosh Meadows in Cleator on farmland where three separate housing schemes totalling 47 properties were previously approved. The scheme would combine three areas of land previously earmarked for development across 3.3 hectares.

The proposal comprises two two-bedroom homes, 18 three-bedroom properties, 22 four-bedroom homes and nine with five bedrooms. Just two properties would be offered as discounted-sale housing, with the remainder intended for the open market. The earlier consents included 21 self-build homes approved in November 2024, alongside developments of 19 homes at Mid Meadows and seven at Top Meadows.

The Design and Access Statement states that the application 'combines all three parcels of land included within these consents and is presented as single application'. The revised proposal is described as 'market led housing for sale', with two discounted-sale properties in line with an existing planning agreement. The earlier self-build scheme had received support from Cumberland Council's strategic housing team, which highlighted significant local interest in self-build housing. Vehicles would enter the development from Flosh Meadows, with a main estate road leading to smaller cul-de-sacs.
