Moorside Farm, Blooming Heather, Dearham, Maryport. The Planning Officer recommended refusal. The Planning Officer outlined the application and detailed the main issues within the report as detailed below; Principal of development - The Council seek to promote the development of renewable and low carbon energy resources provided the impacts (either in isolation or cumulatively) are, or can be made acceptable. Page 1 Residential amenity - The proposed turbine was within 800m of numerous dwellings at Blooming Heather, Harker Marsh/Sunnyslack, Craika Road and Maryport Road, Dearham. A number of properties would have open views of the turbine with unreasonable visual impact affecting living conditions. Visual and landscape impact - The proposed turbine as a stand-alone structure would appear as an alien structure; exacerbated by its two blade design and would have a significant adverse impact upon visual amenity and landscape character. Cumulative and sequential impact - The proposed turbine would be seen coincidentally with the three turbines at Flimby Moor and to less a degree with others existing and planned in the immediate and wider area. However, the matter of cumulative impact was not considered to be significant on this occasion to warrant a reason for refusal. Nature conservation - An ecological report had been provided regarding habitats and protected species. It was considered that the proposed development by virtue of its siting away from hedgerows and woodland would not have a significant adverse impact on nature conservation interests. Heritage - The proposal would not have a significant adverse impact on any designated heritage assets. The nearest Listed Building was Ewanrigg Hall 1.16km west Operational requirements - Subject to conditions relating to construction operations the proposed development would not have an adverse impact on the highway network. Potential benefits/Community turbine - The proposal would make a contribution to renewable energy deployment nationally. It would also make a contribution to the running costs of the farm business by providing a self-sufficiency of energy, creating an alternative source of income, supporting rural enterprise and economic activity. The applicant had proposed the turbine as a ‘community turbine’ with a variety of options for local people to invest into the project financially. A number of letters of support to the principle of this community involvement had been received. The guidance within the NPPF encourages community projects where there is clear evidence of community involvement and leadership. Despite this, it was not considered that the proposals were justified as there was no overwhelming community support from the most affected residents that would overcome the criteria within Policy S19 mitigating visual impact within 800 metres of residential properties. Members noted 21 letters of objection, 47 questionnaire replies of signed support letters, 29 from local addresses and 18 from elsewhere in the Borough Page 2 and 1 letter of written support from a local resident the main grounds of which were noted in the officer’s report. Members were informed that NATS had agreed mitigation with the applicant and therefore withdrew their original objection. In light of this the Head of Development Services, requested that reason 2 be removed from the reasons for refusal. Councillor N Cockburn moved refusal as per the officer’s recommendation. This was seconded by Councillor A Davis-Johnston. Councillor P Kendall moved deferral for a site visit. This was not seconded and therefore the motion was lost. A vote was taken, 11 in favour of refusal as per the officer’s recommendation, 1 against and 0 abstentions. The motion in favour of refusal as per the officer’s recommendation was carried. The decision: Refused. Reason: 1. The proposed turbine, by virtue of its siting, scale and two blade design in close proximity to residential properties, was considered to have the potential for significant adverse impact upon visual amenity. The proposal was therefore considered contrary to policies S19, S32 and S33 of the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted July 2014 and the advice contained within the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Practice Guidance for Renewable and Low Carbon Energy. 32 Development Panel- 2.2014.0913- Land at The Went, Dearham- Outline application with all matters reserved for residential development The application: Residential Development (Outline). Land West of The Went, Dearham, Maryport. The Principal Planning Officer recommended approval. The Principal Planning Officer outlined the application and detailed the main issues within the report as detailed below; Principle - considered to be acceptable under Local Plan policy S3 Scale - Two storey or single storey dwellings were considered acceptable on this site Drainage - Foul to main sewer and surface water to soakaway/existing watercourse. Drainage can be achieved for the proposal. Residential Amenity - No significant harm to nearby properties Page 3 Access/parking - Access into individual plots from The Went was considered acceptable subject to conditions. Sufficient off street parking can be achieved. Archaeology - A condition for site investigations and recording can provide a satisfactory assessment of potential archaeological remains. Contamination - Can be satisfactorily dealt with be condition Members noted 1 letter of objection, the main grounds of which were noted in the officer’s report. Councillor C Armstrong moved approval as per officer’s recommendations. This was seconded by Councillor R Munby. A vote was taken, 12 in favour of approval as per officer’s recommendations, 0 against and 0 abstentions. The motion in favour of approval as per the officer’s recommendations was carried. The decision: Approved. Conditions: 1. Before any works commence details of the layout, scale and appearance, access and landscaping (hereinafter called 'reserved matters') shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: The application has been submitted

  • The Dialect of Cumberland
    — — 34 GLOSSARY OF THE Dess. va. To build or pile up, as applied to stacks, &c. Old Norse des, a rick, hey-des, a rick of hay, Welsh das, Gael. dais, heap, rick, stack. Deylt. adj. Moped, dispirited, impaired in mind. Old Norse duali, Dan. dvale, a trance, state of torpidity, Old Germ, tw'elan, to be torpid. Hence dwalm or dwam, swoon, suspension of the senses. Dibble, vn. To plant seed. " Sometimes applied to burying a corpse." Dick. "The syllable dib, expressing the act of striking with a sharp instrument, is a modification of Sco. dab, to prick, Bohem. dubati, to peck, Eng. job, to thrust or peck, parallel with dag or dig, to strike with a pointed instru- ment." — Wedg. Dike. sb. A hedge. Also a ditch, but rather a dry- ditch. This double sense occurs also in the Dut. dijck, both agger and fovea, [Kit.), and in the Dan. dige, ditch and bank. So also Ang.-Sax. die, Suio-Goth. dike, ditch and bank. This, observes Ihre, is naturally to be accounted for, as the same earth which is taken out of the ditch, serves to make the mound. The root, if it be the same as that found in Sansc. dih, to heap up, would seem to make it appear that the original sense was that of the bank or hedge. Dill. va. To soothe. Old Norse dilla, to lull, as a nurse does a child. Ditt. va. To stop up. Ang.-Sax. dyttan, Old Norse ditto,, to close, to stop up. Dobby. sb. A hobgoblin.

  • The Central Fells: Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells Book 3 (Lake District & Cumbria) Pdf
    FREE THE CENTRAL FELLS: PICTORIAL GUIDES TO THE LAKELAND FELLS BOOK 3 (LAKE DISTRICT & CUMBRIA) PDF Alfred Wainwright,Chris Jesty | 312 pages | 30 Dec 2006 | Frances Lincoln Publishers Ltd | 9780711226142 | English | London, United Kingdom A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells Book 3 the Central Fells - AbeBooks Wainwrights are the English peaks known locally as fells described in A. Summiting all of the Wainwrights is a popular form of peak The Central Fells: Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells Book 3 (Lake District & Cumbria) in the Lake District, along with the Birketts. Because both lists are based on historical books, unlike, for example, the Munrostheir constituents remain fixed, regardless of revisions to height or other metrics. In this regard, they are similar to the Scottish lowlandsDonalds. There are Wainwrights, of which are also classed as one of the Birketts. Wainwright did not state any rules about what should be included in his guides, choosing instead to note his walks according to his favour and their relevance in the landscape, never himself considering the summiting of all of them to be an important accomplishment for others. Birkinshaw's record was broken on 20 June when Paul Tierney completed the round in 6 days 6 hours 4 minutes. The Eastern Fells are centered around Helvellyn and they primarily consist of a north-south ridge running between Ullswater and Lakeland's Central Valley. The Central Fells are situated in the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by the other ranges. The range extends from the ridge between Derwentwater and Thirlmere in the north, to the famous rock peaks of the Langdale Pikes in the south.
