St Cuthbert's Garden Village plans on display

The developer, Arup, has developed three options for the project masterplan, and is looking for public feedback.
Originally known as Carlisle South, this planned development was proposed in January 2017. St Cuthbert's Garden Village will receiving £300,000 from the Government to help deliver the 10,000 new homes proposed by the Council.
