Description
LOCATION
The subject site is situated to the west of Park Road and the A590, on the northwest outskirts of Barrow-in-Furness, in South Cumbria and the North West of England.
Barrow-in-Furness is the principal town of South Cumbria and is situated on the coast of the south county boundary, bordered to the southeast by Morecambe Bay, the Irish Sea to the west and the Duddon Channel to the north. Barrow is connected by the A590 which leads to Junction 36 of the M6 motorway some 30 miles east providing links to the north and south.
The town has a resident population of 69,100 (2011 Census) and whilst it is very much known for its industrial and shipbuilding heritage, it lies just 12 miles south of The Lake District National Park. The town has a weighted retail catchment in excess of 70,000 people and a greater district catchment in excess of 108,000 being one of South Cumbria's main retail destinations. Barrow has benefited from substantial inward investment in recent years to improve the Port and Marina facilities and the waterfront in general. Local employers include BAE Systems, Siemens and Kimberley Clark.
Barrow has a railway station situated in the town centre, approximately 1.5 miles to the south of Sandscale Park and provides connections to Whitehaven, Workington and Carlisle via the Cumbrian Coast Line and to Ulverston, Grange-over-Sands, Lancaster and Manchester via the Furness and West Coast Mainline.
The A590 Park Road travels south down the west side of Barrow-in-Furness, picking up the main commercial estates and providing access to the town centre and out-of-town retail parks, approximately 3 miles away. The A590 also routes to the northeast meeting Dalton-in-Furness, circa 3 miles away and continues on to Ulverston, 7 miles away and then into the south boundaries of the Lake District National Park, around 11 miles to the north.
The A590 connects with the A595 around 2 miles away from the subject land which travels around the Duddon Estuary, being an alternative route into the Lake District National Park and also around to Millom, 21 miles away, Sellafield which is 40 miles to the northwest and Whitehaven and Workington, 50 and 60 miles away respectively.
Sandscale Park is reached from a short access road connecting directly to Park Road as shown on the location plan.
