  • ALLERDALE DISTRICT WARDS REVIEW 2016 an Initial Submission

    ALLERDALE DISTRICT WARDS REVIEW 2016 an Initial Submission

    ALLERDALE DISTRICT WARDS REVIEW 2016 An initial submission on behalf of the Labour Group of Allerdale Councillors. A. Methodology for Area allocations The starting point for this submission to the review process is that the Allerdale District is made up of seven Areas, each centred on a town as service centre and its hinterland. These areas were first defined by the County Council as part of its initiation of the “Neighbourhood Forms” concept in the late 1980s and have evolved since into the pattern now used by Allerdale Council for engagement with members and localities, shown in this map: The map was originally based on school catchment areas. Following a review of “natural communities” by the Health service in 2000, it began to be used to define primary care boundaries. Under localism and devolution policy in the 2000s it was also used to define neighbourhood policing areas, community regeneration areas, childrens centre areas, parish council groupings, and planning policy areas, amongst others. Although some organisations, under budget pressures, have resiled from earlier commitments to use these Areas for organisation and service planning, they remain the most appropriate basis for any division of Allerdale into smaller areas. Accordingly it is suggested that these Areas should be the starting point for consideration of ward boundaries – following the pattern of the parliamentary boundary review which uses counties within the Region as its starting point. The first step is therefore to define the quota, making an assumption of 48 members as the size of the Council based a) on the actual electorate in 2016 (a quota of 1576 electors); and b) on the forecast electorate in 2022 as estimated by the Elections Officer at the Council (a quota of 1622 electors).

    PAPCASTLE HISTORY Eric Apperley Papcastle Local History Group 2009 1 First Published in Great Britain in 2009 ISBN 978-0-9551845-3-6 by Little Bird Publications High Moor House, Hill Street, Cockermouth Cumbria CA13 OAU Copyright © 2009 by Eric Apperley The right of Eric Apperley to be identified as the author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with Section 77 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 2000. All right reserved to Papcastle Local History Group Printed in Great Britain by PrintExpress Sneckyeat Road, Hensingham, Whitehaven, Cumbria 2 FOREWORD In spring 2007, Jack Sedgwick, a veterinary surgeon, who had spent his life since the late 1920’s in the village, gave a talk in the village hall. He presented an interesting insight into his early days and identified just five others who had lived all their lives in the village, from about the same time. This talk stimulated discussion into the fact that the history of the village had never been recorded. So from it a Papcastle Local History Group was formed with the intention of recovering as much as possible and with the expectation of publishing at least a small volume. By the autumn of 2008, it was clear that a major decision was needed - whether to publish what had been discovered so far or to hold off for some distant date when many more months, or possibly years of painstaking research might have been done. That would require regular trips to the Records Offices and not inconsiderable expense. This book is therefore a first edition, and one day may be superseded by a superior fresh and much extended edition.

    Allerdale Borough Council Planning Application 2/2016/0751 Proposed Erection of up to 64 dwellings including landscaping, open space, Development: access, highways and drainage Location: Land North of Broughton Park Great Broughton Cockermouth Applicant: Mr Adam McNally Story Homes A full list of plans is attached at Annex 2. Recommendation: Approve, subject to the attached conditions and the signing of a s106 agreement to secure the following: Upgrade to Winder Lonning footpath link to an adoptable standard of surface, with lighting details to be secured by condition. A commuted sum towards existing off site play equipment at Kirklea of £17,454 to cover the SPD contribution of £12,454 and £5000 for future maintenance. An education commuted sum £223,791 for a new classroom at Broughton Academy (infant and juniors), and £71,250 for secondary school transport. 25% provision of affordable housing, 11 units for social rent and 5 units for discounted sale. Should the s106 agreement not be satisfactorily completed in a timely manner, then it is requested that the powers to refuse the proposal be delegated to the Head of Service, on the basis that those measures necessary to make the development acceptable in policy terms have not been secured through the necessary legal agreement.(This is to be applied to all future s106 agreement planning decisions) Summary/Key Issues Issue Conclusion Principle Notwithstanding the fact that the site lies outside of the saved settlement limit for Broughton officers consider the principle of residential development at this location to be acceptable. The site lies directly adjacent to the saved settlement limit and therefore, can be considered both well related and sustainable.

In 1896 the organ was installed. ii. The stained glass windows of the South Aisle and baptistery were installed in either 1864/65. iii. In 1875 additional land was added to the churchyard making it around 1.9 acres. iv. Large parts of the church were altered during the Butterfield renovations. However, considerable changes were also made in the 18th century, including the re-pewing of the church in 1790.
