5. Network Planning for Walking
Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians. -

This report by Woolerton Dodwell was commissioned by Lancaster City Council. It provides a landscape assessment of the Heysham Energy Coast, a broad area of land based around and to the east of Heysham Port and the two Heysham power stations. The purpose of the landscape assessment is to help inform Lancaster City Council’s consideration of future growth options and ultimately the allocation of sites in the Land Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) which forms part of the Local Development Framework (LDF) for Lancaster District. ii. The Heysham Energy Coast is one of a number of emerging site options identified by Lancaster City Council as strategic due to their size and location, and which if developed would have significant implications for the District both in terms of meeting future development needs and also in terms of potential impacts. iii. Landscape assessments have been prepared for the City Council for the following five strategic site options: • Bailrigg, Lancaster • Whinney Carr, Lancaster • Grab Lane, Lancaster • Carnforth South • Heysham Energy Coast iv. -

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change. -

The latest evidence on the potential for new jobs and the housing needed to provide for a growing community suggests In 2014, the council consulted on five options for new a need to plan for around 9,500 jobs and 13,000-14,000 new strategic development sites. Following the consideration of homes for the years up to 2031. these options the council is proposing a hybrid approach with The evidence also suggests that the economic sustainability a number of additional strategic sites as the district’s needs of this area could become vulnerable due to falling numbers cannot be met by one single option.

The Coastal Access Reports contain a full description of the access proposals, including any additional mitigation measures that have been included. These Reports can be viewed here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/england-coast-path-cleveleys-to-pier-head-liverpool- comment-on-proposals An HRA is required for European sites (SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites). The HRA is published alongside the Coastal Access Reports. This document, the Nature Conservation Assessment (NCA), covers all other aspects (including SSSIs, MCZs and undesignated but locally important sites and features) in so far as any HRA does not already address the issue for the sites and feature(s) in question. The NCA is arranged site by site.

It was prepared for the North West Coastal Forum and funded by the North West Development Agency. This Executive Summary highlights key findings of the Study. A. The Feasibility Assessments The feasibility assessments included reviews of public policies, the environmental context, current paths, other routes and associate facilities, and potential user markets. These assessments indicate that - a. the concept of a Coastal Trail, from Chester to Carlisle, for multi-day, day and part-day walking and cycling, and, where feasible, riding and all-abilities use, is ambitious - but can bring a variety of benefits b. the Trail can help to achieve public policy agendas, such as sustainable travel, recreation and tourism, environmental and economic regeneration, and community health c. the landscapes, topography and natural, cultural and built heritage of the North West’s coast and coastal settlements are major strengths of the proposed Trail. However, it will pass through extensive urban areas, including some poorer quality environments d. parts of the Trail will differ markedly from other coastal paths and are likely to appeal to different users than traditional long-distance walkers e. -
