  • South Cumbria Action Plan December 1997
    SOUTH CUMBRIA ACTION PLAN DECEMBER 1997 E n v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE HEAD OFFICE Rio House, Waterside Drive, Aztec West. Almondsbury, Bristol BS32 4UD _ E n v ir o n m e n t T A g e n c y Vision for the Local Environment The area covered by this plan encompasses a high quality environment, large parts of which are recognised to be of national and international importance. For example much of the area is in the Lake District National Park, including England's most famous lake - Windermere. The area also contains im portant species and habitats such as the internationally important sites in and around Morecambe Bay and the Duddon Estuary. The quality of the environment also provides a major recreational facility and attracts large numbers of visitors. The first aim of the Agency is to prevent any deterioration in any aspect of environmental quality for which we have responsibility. We recognise that even in an area of such high environmental quality there is room for improvements. The Agency will therefore seek to make environmental improvements through our planned programmes, but also by taking opportunities for improvements as they arise. To help promote a sustainable environment the Agency will operate within its regulatory framework but will also work with key partners to tackle environmental issues in an open and holistic way reflecting on the perceptions and aspirations of the inhabitants of South Cumbria. The environment of the area is unique, and in order to target environmental improvements the Agency will seek to improve scientific understanding of the complex environmental processes at work particular in the lakes and estuaries.

    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.
