Mr Steve Long Planning Department Allerdale Borough Council Allerdale House Workington, CA14 3YJ 16 May 2020 Lowther Arms Community Project Limited Registered Office T: 01900 881441 Goodyhills Farm M: 07710 261 097 Mawbray E: [email protected] Maryport https://www.thelowterarms.co.uk Cumbria, CA15 6QX FCA Regn No 8341 Mr Steve Long Planning Department Allerdale Borough Council Allerdale House Workington, CA14 3YJ 16 May 2020 Dear Mr Long OBJECTION TO PLANNING APPLICATION: FUL/2020/0089 The Lowther Arms Community Project Limited (LACPL) would like to object to this Planning Application to change the use of the ground floor area of The Lowther from a Public House to a domestic dwelling. First, we appreciate the difficulties of marketing the pub in such a tough economic climate and realise the vendors must be faced with many challenges at this time. We maintain we are willing to work with the vendors to achieve the common aim of retaining the pub as a community asset. The aims of the LACPL are to have an open pub with additional services that meet the needs of the community, and to work with supporters and other potential buyers (whose aims are aligned with our group), to achieve this goal. We understand that Allerdale’s relevant test for this application is “whether every effort has been undertaken to endeavour to retain the community asset before assessing any alternative land use”, and that “the main focus of this issue relates to the supporting valuation and marketing evidence.” We note that three offers have been made for the pub and are aware of a number of viewings. We believe the existence of one or more serious buyers and one or more valid offers meets Allerdale’s criteria to retain the community asset; and the vendors failure to consider ‘every effort’ and ‘endeavour to retain the community asset’ means the application for change of use cannot be accepted. An offer of £160,000 is clearly not acceptable, according to our own independent valuation. LACPL commissioned a private, independent Market Appraisal Valuation for both pub and land which gave a market value of £190,000 for a closed and empty entity, and £230,000 for a fully-equipped operational entity having regard to trading potential but subject to special assumptions. LACPL offered this full market value in March 2020 and are still waiting to hear if this offer is acceptable. There is no information to support the assertion that another offer of £230,00 was received from a possible developer, and no explanation why the offer was not accepted subject to proof of funds as is normal practice. We note the supporting information supplied with the planning application focuses on one offer (our own) and does not present a similar complete and balanced account of the engagement with all other prospective buyers. Nor does it describe or disclose, in the same level of detail, the correspondence, documents, and commercially confidential information provided by the other parties. This bias could appear to seek to discredit our intentions and question the credibility of our bid. The overall aim of the LACPL is to have an open pub. The group has been proactive in its campaign to save the pub and market it further afield, and is happy to highlight its marketing activities which have attracted two serious buyers who want to work with the community to keep the pub. LACPL is committed to reaching a successful and speedy conclusion. Its part-time volunteers work tirelessly to raise awareness, manage the project, raise funds for running expenses, professional services and legal fees, as well as complete all the necessary applications, reports and milestones to the various timescales of different legal, sponsoring and funding bodies. ../contd Further, a) There has been a failure to consider ‘every effort’, and ‘endeavour to retain the community asset’ • The planning application for change of use has been submitted despite considerable interest from at least one serious buyer and with at least one credible offer on the table. • The owners have not demonstrated a serious attempt to market the asset, attract a buyer, and secure a sale. The owners gave a very negative impression of the pub during a viewing by one serious potential buyer and focused so much on the pub’s gloomy prospects it put the buyer off. (The potential buyer had already told us he was keen to buy a village pub, work with the community, and move to this area). b) An Asset of Community Value will be lost • An ACV is in place because the pub is vitally important for the community’s social and economic wellbeing. • It has always been a place to meet and socialise with friends, family and neighbours and helps reduce the sense of isolation and loneliness in this rural community. People also enjoyed a weekly quiz, theme nights, celebrations, functions, and music events. • For those visiting the area, whether to visit family and friends or to enjoy the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hadrian’s Cycleway and Coast-to-Coast route, the pub’s integral caravan and campsite was a great place to stay. The pub is a key service and attraction for visitors and tourists who stay locally in the village’s Airbnb’s, local caravan parks, and self-catering. • The pub is the last service in the village. The village has already lost most of its services and amenities including the Post office, shop, restaurant, milk and paper deliveries and most of its bus services. • If the pub is lost, there will be adverse economic consequences, too. In the past, the pub trained and employed local staff (bar and waiting staff), bought goods and services from local growers/producers/ trades/ artisans/ craftworkers). As a community-focused pub, it can do so again and benefit the wider community in many different ways. • As ‘More Than A Pub’ it can offer much to the community, with an essentials shop, café, OAP lunches, library, free Wi-Fi, business meeting place, health pop-up venue, a safe after school/homework space, courier and dry cleaning point etc. c) Allerdale Council has a planning policy to protect community services • The planning application to convert the pub to a house is counter to Allerdale’s planning policy to protect village and community services, namely local shops, village halls and pubs. • Mawbray is in a designated ‘Conservation area’ where the council seeks to protect and enhance the character of the area – which includes the pub in the centre of the village. That’s why it was built there. I would request that the council take these objections into consideration when deciding the application. We have also supplied below additional information and corrections relating to the application’s supporting documents.

Baseline mapping © Ordnance Survey: licence number 100026791. 1 CUMBRIA COASTAL STRATEGY - POLICY AREA 11E5 DUBMILL POINT TO SILLOTH 1 Introduction 1.1 Location and site description Policy units: 11e5.1 Dubmill Point to Silloth (priority unit) Responsibilities: Allerdale Borough Council Cumbria County Council United Utilities Location: This unit lies between the defended headland of Dubmill Point and Silloth Harbour to the north. Site overview: The shoreline is mainly low lying, characterised by a wide mud, sand and shingle foreshore, fronting low lying till cliffs and two belts of dunes; at Mawbray and at Silloth. The lower wide sandy foreshore is interspersed by numerous scars, including Dubmill Scar, Catherinehole Scar, Lowhagstock Scar, Lee Scar, Beck Scar and Stinking Crag. These scars are locally important for wave dissipation and influence shoreline retreat. The behaviour of this shoreline is strongly influenced by the Solway Firth, as the frontage lies at the estuary’s lower reaches. Over the long term, the foreshore has eroded across the entire frontage due to the shoreward movement of the Solway Firth eastern channel (Swatchway), which has caused narrowing of the intertidal sand area and increased shoreline exposure to tidal energy. The Swatchway currently lies closer to the shoreline towards the north of the frontage. There is a northward drift of sediment, but the southern arm of Silloth Harbour intercepts this movement, which helps stabilise the beach along this section.

  • Geography in Borrowdale
    Geography Derwentwater Independent Hostel is located in the Borrowdale Valley, 3 miles south of Keswick, in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Barrow Beck, which flows through our grounds, is part of the River Derwent drainage basin. The scope for Geography residentials at Derwentwater Independent Hostel is vast: the topics and resources listed here are certainly not exhaustive! Please ask us if you would like a customised information sheet, tailored to specific exam boards and topic/s. Fieldwork techniques and other geographical skills DIH is perfectly situated for measuring river channel and flow, with local streams of different sizes, and good access to the River Derwent. There are excellent viewpoints for observing valley characteristics and making sketch maps. The bottom of our grounds is a safe location for conducting traffic surveys. This is very close to the survey location used by the National Park Authority. The small town of Keswick (population of approximately 5000) is only 5km/3 miles away. It is an ideal size for population, settlement, and economic fieldwork. Map and compass work can easily be incorporated into your activities, with numerous landscape features in Borrowdale to aid navigation practice. Derwent Water is an excellent orienting feature, lying almost exactly north- south. We have numerous different books and maps of the local area, encouraging students to extract information from different sources. The Lake District National Park Authority provides comprehensive data for the Lake District National Park, including population, housing, land use, employment, traffic, National Park finance, tourism, climate, geology, and transport data. An interesting insight into the role of Geographical Information Systems in the Lake District can be found here: http://www.nationalparks.gov.uk/aboutus/jobs/workingforus/gis-officer The numerous fells and triangulation points in the area provide a good environment for trying out surveying techniques.

  • Newman, C.E. 2014 V.1.Pdf
    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.
