  • 2 SL/2015/0587 No
    SCHEDULE 2 SL/2015/0587 No: BURTON IN KENDAL: Garden of Ashgrove, Clawthorpe CARNFORTH LA6 1NU PROPOSAL: Single dwelling Mr R Crowe Website Link to Application E353172 N477570 27/08/2015 SUMMARY This application seeks full planning permission for the erection of a single dwelling on garden land to the south west of Ashgrove within the hamlet of Clawthorpe. The main issues arising from the application relate to the principle of a new house on the site; whether it constitutes infilling and rounding off; whether a new house in the location changes or distort the character of the group of the settlement in an undesirable way and would cause landscape harm; neighbouring amenity; the impact of the proposed development on the highway and the design. DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSAL Site Description The site is on the north-east side of a minor road that runs from the A6070, through Clawthorpe, and over to Hutton Roof and Newbiggin. The site is within an existing mature landscaped garden of Ashgrove which is bound to the west, south and eastern boundaries by a local stone wall whilst to the north it is part separated off from Ashgrove by a 2.0m high wooden fence. A series of communication cables criss-cross the site. The minor road encompasses the site from the south and east whilst Clawthorpe Business Park sits to the north-west. This is separated by a 20 metre strip of garden land associated with Roughwood, a domestic dwelling which sits around 60 metres to the north of the proposed site. To the south-east across the road, about ten metres from the boundary of the proposed site are two domestic dwellings at Millers Garth and Sunny Glen.

Morecambe Bay Limestones Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

The proposal relates to the erection of a new single storey building at Clawthorpe Hall Business Centre in which the Use Class will be D1 and the site is within an existing employment site restricted to Use Class B1a under South Lakeland Land Allocation Developmment Document Policy LA1.5. The proposed use within the building is a church hall/meeting room including new parking and improvements to the access serving the business centre. 2. The key issues that apply to this application are: • Principle; Whether the loss of this employment area would be acceptable / is justified within the scope of the Local Plan Policies; • Whether the proposed Use Class is acceptable within the site 3. This proposal is brought before members because it is a departure from Policy LA1.5 of the Local Plan Land Allocation Development Plan Document adopted 17 December 2013. Because the Use Class of the proposed development falls outside the Use identified in Policy LA1.5 the proposal is against Policy and unsupported unless the applicant can demonstrate that the conditions set out in Policy LA1.5 can be met. RECOMMENDATION 4. The application is recommended for approval subject to conditions. DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSAL Site description 5. The proposal relates to a land located within a designated employment site at Clawthrope Hall Business Centre. The site is vacant and extends to 0.325 hectares.

    Butterfly Conservation Lancashire Branch News Spring 2018 President Sir David Attenborough Butterfly Conservation Head Office Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Registered in England 2206468 Wareham, Dorset BH20 5QP Registered Charity 254937 01929 400209 MESSAGE FROM OUR BRANCH CHAIRMAN........ Welcome to our Spring newsletter and to Butterfly Conservation’s 50th Anniversary. BC membership is now over 34,000 making it the largest and best supported butterfly conservation movement worldwide. If you have a friend who may wish to join contact Head Office at Manor Yard on 01929 400209 and ask if they have a free or half price membership offer available! I know they are doing their best to make new membership as inviting as possible and it would be a remarkable achievement to get close to 40,000 members by the end of this anniversary year. Recently I acquired some very early BC ‘Butterfly Magazines’....in those days little more than sheets of paper....for part one of an article on ‘The History of BC through its ‘Butterfly Magazine’ see later. I thought winter had finally past but as I write this on Easter Day another bout of snow is forecast for tomorrow. Most of our butterflies benefit from a cold and frosty Winter.....it may seem counter-intuitive but a ‘proper old-fashioned winter’ can reduce predation, rot, disease and fungal attack. However the ‘jury is out’ on this year as some of the butterflies that came out of hibernation in early March will have perished. Equally those that hibernated as caterpillars should now be eating causing delay, a mis-match in food availability and confusion with dates and timescales.
