Change of use of an agricultural building to provide a multi-purpose guest/community space and provision of a new agricultural building of vernacular construction, all as revised by plans and detail received by the Local Planning Authority 20 November 2008. Location: Low Borrowdale Farm, Tebay Applicant: Natural Retreats - Mr E Kearney Recommendation Refuse Planning Permission Site Plan: 3 PART I REPORTS FOR DEBATE The application is brought before Members given the level of general public concern with the development proposed, based on the number of objection (both original and subsequent to received revised plans) letters received by the Authority to the principle, nature, detail and scale of development of the site. In addition, the Officer recommendation to Refuse is contrary to the view of the Parish Council. Proposed Development: As originally submitted, Full planning approval was sought for the construction of twenty-nine, three bedroom timber lodges, on agricultural grazing land within the valley together with associated landscaping, new and upgraded access roads, footpaths and parking area provision. This is together with the re-development, through part demolition conversion and new build, of the existing isolated farmstead known as Low Borrowdale Farm (a Grade II Listed farmhouse and associated curtilage buildings), to provide for a further seven self-catering cottages. Subsequently the applicants, being aware of the significant level of objection to and concern with the development proposed, have revised the nature and detail of the Full planning approval now sought. The approval now being sought is for the construction of ten three bedroom timber lodges (indicated as utilising the latest green technology in terms of construction), with associated landscaping, new and upgraded access roads, footpaths and parking area provision. This again would be together with the re-development through part demolition, conversion and new build of the existing isolated farmstead known as Low Borrowdale Farm (a Grade II Listed farmhouse and associated curtilage buildings), to provide for a further seven self-catering cottages. This comprises three resulting from conversion, with the refurbished farmhouse, to be retained as manager‟s accommodation, and a new terrace of four two-storey, two bed, dwellings. In addition, the overall re-development of the site proposed, also includes the removal of certain other existing farm buildings, and the provision of an existing larger, more modern wide-span agricultural building, to provide a multi-purpose guest/community building, including administration, operational and guest reception (identified as the Sanctuary), a cycle store, additional new parking area with spaces for twenty-nine vehicles, surface treatment for new pathways and lodge access roads, with low stone walls. Also a new 2500 sq ft agricultural barn is proposed, to assist with the future management of the retained farm and farming element. Access to the site is via the existing junction to the A685 (Lune Valley), along the lower flank and valley bottom of the Borrowdale Valley, via the existing adopted narrow metalled single vehicle width road (5287) and then an upgraded existing farm access track, the majority of which is within the applicants ownership. Bridleway and footpath access exists across the site and valley. The development is put forward and justified by the applicants as an innovative means of ensuring the future viability and vitality of the existing hill farm operation, enabling the positive and beneficial management of its farmed land, landscape and varied habitat through the introduction of a sympathetic tourism development, interdependent of the farming activities surrounding the site, and of benefit to the wider socio-economic community both in and around the area. The application is also accompanied by additional supporting documentation; a Landscape and Visual Impact appraisal, Low Borrowdale Archaeological desk based Assessment report, Illustrative Planting Scheme, Flood Risk statement, Sustainable Design Statement, Green 4 PART I REPORTS FOR DEBATE Travel and Land Management Plans, Bat and Structural Surveys, Botanical Survey and a report on Ecological Constraints and Recommendations, as well as letters of support obtained by the applicants, in relation to the type of development envisaged. Approval for the development overall, together with separate Listed Building consent (see accompanying Listed Building Consent Application Ref No 08/0339), is being sought by Natural Retreats, a relatively new company marketing themselves as “ a luxury holiday operator, promoting the concept of a high end holiday experience, in stunning locations across the country, but in an environmentally sensitive and ecologically sustainable way.” Description of the Site and the Surroundings: The application site is an isolated and remote hill farm small-holding of approx 136 Ha (336 acres). The main built form and main operational emphasis is to be focused on the existing farmhouse and associated mixed range of agricultural buildings at Low Borrowdale Farm. This is located midway along the Borrowdale Valley between the A6 (to the west) and the A685 (Lune Valley, to the east). The existing farm complex is located on the northern edge of the relatively flat valley floor within the Low Borrowdale Valley, which itself sub-divides the steeper, upland areas of Bretherdale/Roundthwaite Common (to the north) and Whinfell Common (to the south). The Grade II listed farmhouse, and the older of the range of traditional attached stone built outbuildings nestle into the slope of the hillside to the immediate rear (north) of the farmhouse. This is a part walled and fenced enclosure containing a band of mature, deciduous tree planting (forming a shelterbelt) which, following the contour of the valley westward, stretches for a further 200m up the valley, before tapering out into a mixture of smaller hawthorn trees and stunted bushes. The valley and existing farm complex is crossed and subdivided by a combination of public Rights of Way (Bridleways 527022, 584022 and 367003), there being a junction to two of these immediately, through the farmyard and to the north-west of the farmhouse. Noted for its walking, the rights of way through the valley, connect the A685 with the A6, via the valley floor, and partly via the Whinfell Common ridge to the south. Other footpaths and Bridleways link into the above, with connections extending north-eastwards over Roundthwaite Common towards Tebay, and south-westward along part of the Whinfell Common ridge skyline. As indicated earlier, the farm is located approx midway between the Lune Valley (A685 and M6 at Low Borrow Bridge) to the east and the A6 (at High Borrow Bridge) to the west. Vehicular access to the site, which originates from a junction with the A685, (at Low Borrow Bridge) is within the administrative District of South Lakeland. This is a gated single track access road, partially metalled (5287) for approx 1klm, and thereafter by a rutted, hardcored surface single width farm access track, across a rail sleeper bridge over the Borrow Beck (and into the administrative area of Eden District) and along the floor of the valley for approx a further 2km. (Overall, the site is approx 6km (3¾ miles) from the nearest settlement, Tebay, to the north-east, and with it junction 38 of the M6 Motorway). The Borrowdale Valley itself is located immediately to the east of the boundary of the Lake District National Park, and to the west of the Howgills, and as such in transition between the two areas shares many of their natural and landscape characteristics. The amenity attraction of its simple, large scale open landscape, with walled and fenced lower level pasture and 5 PART I REPORTS FOR DEBATE grazing enclosures, and the occasional shelter belt planting, being recognised by its landscape classification and its formal designation as being of County Landscape Importance. Though considered as being candidate area for possible inclusion within the National Park boundary, the area is not defined and therefore protected by any such actual designation. Relevant Planning History: 90/0778 - Erection of Sheep building. 97/0363 - Replacement of existing roof over existing silage clamp and roofing of adjoining feed area. (2003/2004) On the ridges above the valley - Chalmerston Wind Power Limited - Whinash Wind Farm - This proposal comprised two applications, one for the construction and operation of a 67.5MW wind turbine generating station, the other seeking consent for the erection of 24 (115 metre high) wind turbines, accessed by 14km of new 5m wide access track.

  • Rye, Eleanor (2016) Dialect in the Viking-Age Scandinavian Diaspora
    1 Dialect in the Viking-Age Scandinavian Diaspora: The Evidence of Medieval Minor Names ELEANOR RYE MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy SEPTEMBER 2015 2 3 Abstract This thesis investigates the Scandinavian contribution to medieval microtoponymic vocabulary in two areas of northwest England, Wirral, part of the historic county of Cheshire in the north-west Midlands, and an area of the county of Cumbria, the West Ward of Westmorland Barony. It is shown that there was far greater Scandinavian linguistic influence on the medieval microtoponymy of the West Ward than on the medieval microtoponymy of Wirral. This thesis also assesses what conclusions can be drawn from the use of Scandinavian-derived place-name elements in microtoponyms. Scandinavian influence on microtoponymy has previously been interpreted, at one extreme, as evidence for Scandinavian settlement, and, at the other extreme, only as reflecting widespread Scandinavian influence on the English language and English naming practices. The relationship between Scandinavian settlement and Scandinavian influence on naming micropotonymy is explored by considering the microtoponymic evidence in the light of evidence illuminating the circumstances of Scandinavian settlement in the case-study areas, and by considering the evidence from the case-study areas within the wider context of Scandinavian influence on English naming practices. The substantial Scandinavian substantial influence on major place-names in both areas confirms that Scandinavian had been spoken in Wirral and the West Ward. However, the Scandinavian contribution to toponymic vocabulary as recorded in the late-medieval period was very different in the two areas, hinting at the indirectness of the link between Scandinavian settlement and influence on later microtoponymy.
