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.

    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.

It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.

    Cumbria Canoeists British Canoeing’s Regional Development Team Access Matters - River Greta and Middle River Derwent British Canoeing is happy to endorse this latest review of the Access Arrangement for the River Greta and Middle River Derwent in Cumbria. No changes have been made regarding access but we have asked the West Cumbria Rivers Trust and Environment Agency to update the environmental information contained in the arrangement and include their comments. British Canoeing advises that the decision whether or not to paddle is the responsibility of individual paddlers and that access to or from the river is possible either by using public rights of way or where permission to cross private land has been agreed with the landowner. Particular regard should be given to environmental conditions (especially during the months of November and December – see below), Always consider other users and factors as highlighted in the British Canoeing leaflet “You, your canoe and the environment”. The following notes only refer to access and egress points and environmental matters; please check other sources for information regarding the grade (difficulty) of these rivers, their features and hazards on the various sections. The Access Arrangement The Derwent and Greta river system is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and this arrangement aims to conserve and protect the environment and its wildlife whilst taking account of seasonal changes and supporting responsible canoe access: • 1st January to and including 31st October: access agreed subject to the following general conditions defined below • 1st November to and including 31st December: canoeing may take place on the River Greta and Middle River Derwent in spate conditions as defined below.

    1 the Unique Heritage of Place-Names in North West England Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University, UK 1. Introduction This Is

    1 The unique heritage of place-names in North West England Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University, UK 1. Introduction This is not an academic article. I am not a scholar of the history of English. Yet this article deals mainly with developments in the remote history of the English language. So why this article with this title? When I was invited to contribute to this volume in honour of Professor Keiko Ikegami, I wanted to write something with a historical theme, as a fitting tribute. My solution was to write on a topic which has interested me for many years: the place-names of the part of English where I live, the North West of England. My interest in place-names began early as a hobby, and I have been a member of the English Place-Name Society for many years. Curiously, the first academic ‘job’ I ever had was concerned with place-names. In 1959 I had just finished my final examinations for the B.A. at London University, and was waiting to learn the result. I undertook some humble unskilled work (all I can remember is writing oddly-spelt place-names on little slips of paper) for the head of my Department, Professor A.H. Smith, then probably the leading toponymist in the country. So it could be said that place-name studies began my academic career. But I have never undertaken serious research or produced publications in the field. This paper does not contain original material, but relies on the work of scholars most of whom have been well-known toponymists of English, whose work I briefly review below.
