It is a statutory requirement of Section 89 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW Act 2000). 4 THE AONB MANAGEMENT PLAN – CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION The stretch of countryside west of the A6, between the Lancashire County Councils, Lancaster City and South estuaries of the Rivers Keer and Kent, has been Lakeland District Councils have given that job to the acknowledged as one of the finest in Britain by its AONB Unit. This Management Plan is in fulfilment of designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. that requirement. Its uniqueness lies in a happy coincidence of underlying limestone sculpted by glaciation and the sea; a But it is not just for the local authorities. The AONB is temperate west-coast climate; yet at a latitude the a partnership of the people who live in it; those who same as southern Alaska; and the industry of our work in it; those who visit it; and all the organisations forefathers in farming, forestry and mineral working that they belong to and that represent them. If we are and in creating the villages and communities that are to be able to pass on to future generations the beauty rooted in that landscape. that we have inherited then we all have to work together. This management plan should be a vision for Immediately following the designation as an AONB in the next twenty years at least and a framework for 1972 nothing much happened and there were worries achieving that vision over the next five or so years. It that designation was increasing pressures in the area will only be so if we all believe that it reflects a for development that would destroy the very character consensus view of what we all want for the area. that was the reason for the designation. The six parish councils got together and obtained funds from the Before anything was written there was extensive Countryside Commission to look at the problems. This consultation, lots of meetings and events. Draft versions led to the formation of the Countryside Management of the Management Plan have been considered by a Service, the Landscape Trust and the production of a wide group of individuals and interest groups and the first management plan. We are still unique amongst AONB Executive Committee is grateful for the many AONBs in having a supportive charitable trust and such helpful and detailed comments that were received. In close involvement of the parish councils. response, changes have been made to reflect the views of the people who live or work in, or visit the area, or In 2000 Parliament passed the Countryside and Rights who have a professional interest in the future of the of Way Act (CRoW Act) which gave added protection AONB. to AONBs, emphasising that, in landscape quality, they are the equals of National Parks. It promised more The AONB Executive Committee is confident that it will funds and a broader range of duties for AONB Units.

Our four principal local authorities, Cumbria and Colin Peacock Looking north west from Summer House Hill 5 Low limestone cliff and shore near Silverdale 6 COMMITMENT This Management Plan is a framework that will give long-term guidance and direction towards achieving a sustainable ‘Vision’ for the Arnside and Silverdale AONB. It is intended for everyone who lives in, works in or visits the area. All have a role to play in conserving the AONB landscape and in fostering its local communities, including local authorities, parish councils, farmers and landowners, local residents, local businesses, conservation and voluntary organisations and visitors to the AONB. The Plan identifies a number of key issues that influence the well-being of the AONB, together with opportunities for effecting positive change. Management objectives are proposed to steer the conservation and enhancement of the AONB landscape over the period 2004 – 2009 in ways that will help to achieve the ‘Vision’ and an integrated Action Plan has been prepared to ensure that the aims of the Management Plan are met. The Management Plan is not cast in stone; it will be revised regularly (at intervals not exceeding 5 years), to ensure that its management objectives respond to changing circumstances and that the vision for the AONB continues to be appropriate. As required by Section 89 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW Act 2000), the Management Plan will inform Local Authority policy in relation to the future management of the AONB. The breadth of support from the four local authorities, the wide range of organisations and the local people who all have a keen interest in the Arnside and Silverdale AONB clearly demonstrates a spirit of co-operating in working towards a common goal of conserving and enhancing the unique qualities of the AONB. Members of the AONB Executive Committee listed below endorse the aims and objectives of the Management Plan guidance and offer a commitment to support the implementation of the Action Plan.

The Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a unique landscape of national importance that extends to approximately 75 square kilometres overall, including around 30 square kilometres of intertidal sands and mudflats. This Management Plan is a statutory document that sets out, through its vision and guidance, the framework for future local authority policies for the Arnside and Silverdale AONB, including those within local development plans. Its importance is underlined by the duty contained in Section 89 of the CRoW Act 2000, that public bodies, including Lancashire and Cumbria Historic woodland wall in need of repair County Councils, Lancaster City Council and South Lakeland District Council, must have regard to the statutory purposes of AONBs in carrying out their functions.

  • The Multiple Estate: a Framework for the Evolution of Settlement in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian Cumbria
    THE MULTIPLE ESTATE: A FRAMEWORK FOR THE EVOLUTION OF SETTLEMENT IN ANGLO-SAXON AND SCANDINAVIAN CUMBRIA Angus J. L. Winchester In general, it is not until the later thirteenth century that surv1vmg documents enable us to reconstruct in any detail the pattern of rural settlement in the valleys and plains of Cumbria. By that time we find a populous landscape, the valleys of the Lake District supporting communi­ ties similar in size to those which they contained in the sixteenth century, the countryside peppered with corn mills and fulling mills using the power of the fast-flowing becks to process the produce of field and fell. To gain any idea of settlement in the area at an earlier date from documentary sources, we are thrown back on the dry, bare bones of the structure of landholding provided by a scatter of contemporary documents, including for southern Cumbria a few bald lines in the Domesday survey. This paper aims to put some flesh on the evidence of these early sources by comparing the patterns of lordship which they reveal in different parts of Cumbria and by drawing parallels with other parts of the country .1 Central to the argument pursued below is the concept of the multiple estate, a compact grouping of townships which geographers, historians and archaeologists are coming to see as an ancient, relatively stable framework within which settlement in northern England evolved during the centuries before the Norman Conquest. The term 'multiple estate' has been coined by G. R. J. Jones to describe a grouping of settlements linked

  • Philip Gardner Trumpet in the Dust: in Search of Constance Holme Two Decades Ago, in May 1973, I Visited the Humanities Research
    Philip Gardner Trumpet in the Dust: In Search of Constance Holme Two decades ago, in May 1973, I visited the Humanities Research Centre at Austin and spent several weeks engrossed in its uniquely large collection of manuscripts by the English regional novelist Constance Holme, who had died in 1955 when I was still an undergraduate and quite unaware of either her name or her work. She had first been brought to my attention in the mid 1960s by my Department Head at Memorial University, E. R. Seary, whose earliest research had been devoted to the nineteenth-century Sheffield poet Ebenezer Elliott, known as the "Corn Law Rhymer." Constance Holme 's once widely-read but largely unexamined fiction might, Seary thought, be a suitable topic for the doctoral dissertation on which I had not yet embarked. Instead, having known and admired his poetry for at least a decade, and being also personally acquainted with him, I wrote my dissenatiun 011 the life and work of another comparatively neglected North of England writer, Norman Nicholson. This, completed in 1969, was revised and abridged into my first book, published after some delay early in 1974. Once aroused, however, my interest in Constance Holme was quick to increase. The novel of hers to which I was first directed, The Lonely Plough (1914), held my attention by the force of its narrative, the distinction of its style, and the evocativeness of its landscape descriptions. That landscape rang a bell: it was the part of Westmorland (a county now absorbed into Cumbria) in which my father had been born, as well as Constance Holme twenty-seven years before him, and I had been evacuated to it for a year in wartime, at the age of five.

  • Introduction to Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme in July 2017 and February 2018 We Shared Options to Reduce Flood Risk in Kendal
    Introduction to Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme In July 2017 and February 2018 we shared options to reduce flood risk in Kendal. Since then we have: • undertaken surveys, ground investigations and environmental assessments • developed our proposals, assessed their possible environmental impacts and the costs in accordance with the rules set by government • discussed these with local authorities and key landowners This work has helped us shape the ‘preferred options’ for managing future flood risk in Kendal. Our key aims for the future flood risk management scheme are to: • reduce the flood risk from the Rivers Kent and Mint and other minor watercourses • support South Lakeland District Council's regeneration objectives • retain footpaths and cycleways which already exist along both rivers • open up and maximise views of and across the rivers • improve the river corridor for wildlife • improve access to the river corridor for maintenance and debris removal We have taken account of and will continue to consider: • feedback from previous consultations • disturbance to local residents and businesses • potential conflicts between flood protection, public access and nature conservation interests that are protected by law • valued heritage, archaeological and landscape interests, conservation areas, scheduled structures and listed buildings Across Kendal, the onset of flooding is as low as 1 in 5 years which means that in any given year those at highest risk face a 1 in 5 chance of experiencing flooding. Overview of Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme The Kendal Flood Risk Management scheme will protect the community by managing flood risk from source to sea and will consider numerous elements including; strengthening defences, upstream management, maintenance and resilience.
