We feel this proposed development is wrong for this location in one of the most peaceful and undisturbed parts of the country. Ainstable Parish is in a ‘Landscape of County Importance’; part of the parish is in ‘The North Pennines Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty’ which overlooks the proposed development site. Natural England lists the Eden Valley as National Character Area 9, and includes the following: Statement of Environmental Opportunity 4: Protect and enhance the cultural heritage of the Eden Valley, reinforcing the vernacular building style and settlement pattern in the design and location of new developments, protecting tranquillity, enhancing green infrastructure and habitat networks, and improving opportunities for public enjoyment of the area. Ensuring that new developments and changes in land use are successfully integrated into the landscape, and that they respect historic settlement and field patterns, make a positive contribution to ecological networks and do not compromise the rural character of the landscape. The fields and rough pasture which make up the ridge line above Ainstable are home to thriving populations of endangered bird species including nesting grounds for curlew and lapwings, buzzards cruise along the ridge and many of the old buildings provide home to a healthy barn owl population. This is an attempt at industrialisation of a rural environment, on what is literally a green-field site, with no other current buildings at the location. This is not a farm diversification as there are no farm buildings, and no requirement for electricity generation, at the location This is a strictly money making venture from the developer, with no discernible public benefit. The developer has failed to consult with either the local population, or take advice from the planning authorities prior to starting this planning application. The parish council is extremely concerned that the applicant would want to place a heavy generator producing a source of noise, toxic fumes, and having a heavy CO2 footprint. Ainstable Parish Council supports farm diversification, and has championed and encouraged other suitable projects. We cannot though support anything which will lead to the industrialisation, and pollution of our otherwise very green and un-polluted environment. Page 3 of 15 Ainstable Parish Council Planning Application 16/0760 The Planning Application The developer, Mr Bowman, does not appear to have received any advice from the Planning Dept at Eden District Council, and also seems to have made little effort at any local public consultation prior to lodging this planning application. Consultation & Parish Meetings The parish council has received a number of comments from members of the public, all of whom are concerned about this planning application. People are concerned about the likely impact of this potentially noisy development in what is a very quiet and tranquil part of the parish. Other major concerns are on the implication for future applications, and on the potential for the industrialisation of this green field site. Ordinary Parish Council Meeting – Tues 20 Sept 2016 Ainstable Parish Council met for an ordinary meeting in Croglin Village Hall, during which this planning application was discussed. The parish council was unanimous in their objection to the proposed development. Ainstable PC – Ordinary Meeting – Minutes – 20 Sept 2016 Application Form The parish council has a number of concerns about statements and answers provided on the planning application form. 3. Description of the Proposal Placing of Storage Container to house Peak Power generator for use for 36 hours per year The parish council is rather sceptical of the need for a generator which will only be run for 36 hours in the year. This proposed maximum running time is unlikely to be sufficient to test the installation, let alone be of any use in providing any meaningful power generation. The parish council does not believe the generator would only be run for 36 hours, and believes it would be run for considerably more time to justify the investment. 6. Pedestrian and Vehicle Access, Roads and Rights of Way Is a new or altered vehicle access proposed to or from the public highway? The applicant has stated that there would be no new vehicle entrance from the public highway, but at present this site has no direct access from the public highway. It is connected to another field which does have an entrance, but to build and service this development we believe the applicant will find he has to open up a new entrance from the public highway. 13. Biodiversity and Geological Conservation To assist in answering the following questions refer to the guidance notes for further information on when there is a reasonable likelihood that any important biodiversity or geological conservation features may be present or nearby and whether they are likely to be affected by your proposals. Having referred to the guidance notes, is there a reasonable likelihood of the following being affected adversely or conserved and enhanced within the application site, OR on land adjacent to or near the application site: a) Protected and priority species The applicant has answered No to this question but previous surveys have shown the fields are home to breeding populations of lapwing and curlew. The lapwing is a protected species. The lapwing is fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981; it is an offence to kill, injure or take an adult lapwing, or to take, damage or destroy an active nest or its contents. The only exception is legitimate farming practices that cannot be reasonably delayed, although farming methods can often be modified to reduce the impact on the lapwings. www.rspb.org.uk – Sept 2016 The parish council does not consider that this development is a legitimate farming practice which cannot be delayed. Page 4 of 15 Ainstable Parish Council Planning Application 16/0760 b) Designated sites, important habitats or other biodiversity features The applicant has answered No to this despite being notified during a previous application that these fields were home to lapwing and curlew. 15. Trees and Hedges Are there trees or hedges on the proposed development site? The applicant has answered No to this question,

    Planning Cumbria Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan 2001 – 2016 Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character Preface to Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character 1. The Deposit Structure Plan includes a policy (Policy E33) on landscape character, while the term landscape character is also used in other policies. It is important that there is clear understanding of this term and how it is to be applied in policy terms. 2. This report has been commissioned by the County Council from CAPITA Infrastructure Consultancy in Carlisle. It is currently not endorsed by the County Council. On receipt of comments the County Council will re draft the report and then publish it as a County Council document. The final version will replace two previous publications: Technical paper No 4 (1992) on the Assessment of County Landscapes and the Cumbria Landscapes Classification (1995). 3. The report explains how landscape has been characterised in Cumbria (outside the National Parks) using landscape types and provides details of the classification into 37 landscape types and sub types. A recent review of the classification of County Landscapes (now termed Landscapes of County Importance) and their detailed boundaries are also included. 4. It should be noted that this report does not constitute Structure Plan Policy. It provides background information to enable the policy to be implemented and monitored. 5.

  • 1 MPCP(20)28 Church Commissioners Mission, Pastoral
    MPCP(20)28 Church Commissioners Mission, Pastoral and Church Property Committee Closed Church of Croglin St John (Diocese of Carlisle) Representations Concerning a draft Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme Note by Harvey Howlett Summary (i) The Committee is invited to consider one representation against and one letter of comment concerning a draft Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme providing for the sale of the closed church building of Croglin St John and part of the annexed land for residential use. (ii) The representors against strongly objects to the conversion of the church building because of the impact on the surrounding open churchyard. He argues that the church’s desire for capital is being put in front of the wishes of the dead and that there is a distinct lack of respect being shown to those buried who are under the protection of the church. (iii) The letter of comment from the Parish Council notes that whilst the Council would have preferred to see the building remain in community use there has not been sufficient interest from within the local community to take on a project of this kind. (iv) The Diocese has confirmed that they wish the draft Scheme to proceed notwithstanding the representation. The Dioceses recognise that they have a responsibility of care and respect to those buried in the churchyard, and to their families, but that there is similarly a statutory responsibility laid on them to secure a suitable and sustainable future for the church building itself. They argue that the proposed scheme successfully resolves the tension in handling these competing responsibilities, through keeping to an absolute minimum the area of land sold with the church and ensuring that there is appropriate access into the retained churchyard for visitors and on the occasion of new burials.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 26 – WINTER 2019
    NEWSLETTER No. 26 – WINTER 2019 1. From the Chairman Seasons Greetings to all our members. We have a new programme for a new year. I hope that everyone will find something of interest in it. CVBG has been in existence since 2013. Many members joined in that year and have been regular attenders at events. New members are joining all the time. Over the six or seven years, we have acquired much experience of a wide variety of building types and materials. Many of our newer members come with a great deal of knowledge of vernacular buildings and/or live in a traditional house and want to know more about it. With this in mind, the events at the start of the year are based indoors. We have learned from experience that the winter months are not the best time to work outdoors. Along the Lines, in January and February,all members will have the chance to contribute to a publication or display, by using a photograph, drawing or description of a building in their part of Cumbria. The end result will be a booklet or an illustrated map. Please make every effort to join in this project. We have by now, had sufficient experience of Cumbria's vernacular architecture to be able to publish material, either for general readers, or as contributions to other societies' journals. One of the stated aims of CVBG is to “increase enjoyment and understanding of the county's traditional buildings”. We can share our discoveries with a wider public. To help in this regard, we are investing in ISBN numbers so that our publications will be recognised.

    Bulletin 77 – Summer 2018 Yanwath Hall, Eamont Bridge, Penrith © Mike Turner CVBG Chairman’s Chat – Peter Roebuck 2 CLHF Members News - Holme and District LHS, Cumbria Railways 3 Association Other News from Member Groups 7 Cumbria Archive News 9 Help Requested 11 Welcome to new CLHF Committee Member 13 CLHF Museum Visits 14 Cumbria County History Trust 16 Proposed New CLHF Consitution 18 Funding for Local History Societies 19 General Data Protection Regulations 20 Useful Websites 20 Events 21 Final Thoughts 24 1 www.clhf.org.uk Chairman’s Chat. The recent spell of glorious weather prompts thoughts about the impact of climate on history. The great threat to local communities before modern times was harvest failure. Crisis mortality rates were often the result, not just of outbreaks of deadly disease; and the two sometimes combined. Cattle droving was fundamentally affected by climate, only getting underway sometime from mid-April once grass growth removed the need to use hay as fodder. Bees have rarely had such a good start as this year to their foraging season, reminding us of the significance of honey as the major sweetener before sugar became widely used. Cane sugar was first grown by the Portuguese in Brazil during the 16th century but entered the British market from the Caribbean only from 1650. Not until well beyond 1700 was it cheap enough to rival honey. The numerous bee boles and other shelters for straw skeps (hives) in Cumbria pay tribute to the care with which bees were kept. Beekeeping was no mere pastime but an activity of considerable economic significance.
