RIVER DERWENT CATCHMENT BOARD It is barely a hundred years since the artificial draining of Agricultural land in Great Britain was systematically taken in hand because the growth of population increased the demand for food. At first everybody concerned put his energies into "field drainage" while the effect upon main rivers was not considered, but as time went on and towns absorbed all the increase in population (which is now four times as great as that of 1811) the effect of Land Drainage became evident, and floods of the greater rivers grew more sudden and were the cause of serious inconvenience to the population dwelling in the houses along their banks. -

We formed the Aspatria Rural Partnership and decided to prepare this Community Action Plan. It aims to provide a strategic approach and to co-ordinate our actions through the delivery of an evidence-based action plan. This is intentionally a succinct document, which belies the amount of work that went into its preparation. That work is captured in a background issues paper, which sets out the research and consultation that helped us define our objectives and actions. We now want to implement our plan and we welcome your input. If we have missed something that is important to you, then let us know. If you have any suggestions on the actions or if there is anything you can do to help implement them, please do get in touch. -
A595 Improvement Transport Scheme Development
A595 Improvement Transport Scheme Development Non-Technical Summary i A595 Improvement – Transport Scheme Development 1/ Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Cumbria County Council is undertaking study work to develop a highway improvement scheme for the A595 between Redmain and Mealsgate. The council has appointed engineering consultants Capita to assist with and support the technical work. 1.1.2 This report is a non-technical summary of the scheme development and options appraisal undertaken to date. It presents an outline of the scheme context and underlying evidence base, the scheme’s objectives, and a description and the rationale for the scheme undergoing consultation. 1.2 Previous Studies 1.2.1 The West of M6 Strategic Connectivity Study identified a number of constraints on Cumbria's key highway corridors, including the A595, related to capacity, safety and resilience. Interventions have been developed to remove these constraints and support plans for economic growth in the County. The A595 around Bothel was one of the sections identified that required improvement. 1.2.2 Following this study, a strategic outline business case was developed for the A595/A66 corridor. The business case brought together all the scheme interventions identified on the corridors in the West of M6 Study and prioritised them. The A595 between Redmain and Mealsgate was identified as a prioritised scheme in the business case, and economic appraisal demonstrated the programme as a whole could achieve value for money. 1.3 Existing Situation 1.3.1 The A595 is an essential strategic route for Cumbria, providing access to and from West Cumbria and sites including the Port of Workington, Moorside, Sellafield and Barrow-in- Furness, to the A689 and the M6 and A69 beyond. -
Living Lakes
Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders. -
