History: None EIA Development. Representations: Boltons P arish Council Objection. On the grounds of cumulative impact with turbines at High Pow, Wharrels Hill and with the consented schemes at Tallentire and West Newton. Also with regard to sequential cumulative impact and the loss of visual amenity to residents of Allhallows and surrounding parishes. All Hallows PCC Objection. Due to: - The location of the church yard and the visual impact on the locality. - The listed Old Church and churchyard is still open to use as a graveyard and for outdoor worship. - The route of the Kingate to Harby Brow footpath and the adverse affect on tourism and the use of the footpath by parishioners. - The wind turbine development may cause stress and add to a feeling of the rural communities feeling of isolation and being disenfranchised. - Concerned about the proliferation of turbines in the locality. Natural England - No objection. RSPB - The applicant has undertaken a desk based bird survey. Based on the location of the turbine and with this additional information, the RSPB broadly agree with the summary of the desk based report, which concludes that the proposal does not appear to be in a key feeding area for bird species sensitive to wind turbine developments. Disturbance displacement is considered to be unlikely. The RSPB would suggest a precautionary approach for turbines near bird sensitive alert area. The proposed turbines are in close proximity to an ‘alert’ area for pink footed geese. Cumbria Wildlife Trust - objection based on lack of ecological assessment. English Heritage - The application should be determined in accordance with national and local policy guidance, and on the basis of your specialist conservation advice. Defence Infrastructure Organisation - The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has no objection to the proposal. Page 2 Environmental Health - No objection subject to planning conditions relating to noise levels. Cumbria Highways - No objections subject to planning conditions. Natural England - An EIA is not required for this application. The site is not located within, adjacent to or in close proximity to any Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Area of Conservation (SAC), or Special Protection Area (SPA) or Ramsar site. The site is not within, nor is sufficiently close to a National Park, AONB, or Heritage Coast to impact upon the purposes for which the sites are designated. The development was considered not likely to affect any significant population of protected species sufficient to require an EIA. County Archaeologist - No objections Civil Aviation Authority - No objection NATS Safeguarding - No objection Aquirva - No objection Allerdale BC Access Officer - No objections Cumbria County Council - Do not consider the proposal for a Category 1 Application. The application has been advertised on site, and adjoining owners have been notified. 5 letters of support: No adverse effect on Riglees Bungalow; no objection from English Heritage; impact on listed building negligible, unlikely to adversely affect safety; research has shown that pink footed geese avoid wind turbines. 43 letters of objection have been received: • Through the siting, size of the turbine and the prominence, the proposal would have a major adverse impact on the existing landscape character and the visual amenity of the existing area and wider landscape; • Unacceptable impacts on residential property by nature of its height and proximity to residential homes; • Danger to ecology, particularly birds; • Public safety risk due to blade failure, structural failure and fire and ice throw; Page 3 • More carbon dioxide is created building the wind turbines than it saves during its lifetime; • EIA should be required; • There should be reuse of resources; • Does not support tourism; • Does not enhance or value the landscape; • The landscape is at capacity for wind turbines; • Noise issues; • Not clear if the scheme is for commercial purposes; • High Pow Farm wind farm is not mentioned; • Within 5km there are 6 other turbines either already built, approved, plus 11 pending or in scoping; • Cumulative effects both from static viewpoints and in sequence when travelling; • Recent applications in the surrounding area that need to be taken into account are turbines at Edderside, Pelutho and Tarns and each turbine adds to the cumulative baseline. • Residents of Watchhill have a panoramic view of most turbines within this part of Allerdale, including the Hellrigg array; • The cumulative effect of turbine developments in the area is now dominating and defining, creating an effect which is industrialising and altering the qualities of our rural landscapes and the tipping point has been reached if not surpassed; • The electricity pylons are already dominant features in the landscape and masts at Anthorne and Caldbeck; • Stressful for local residents; • Adversely effect on tourism and Cumbria Tourism has objected to scheme; • Back up power required; • Inefficient; • Solway Plain part of Hadrian’s Wall trail; • A George Moor Trail should be developed and this will adversely affect tourism assets; • Turbines produce more co2 than save and makes no difference to global warming; • High costs to tax payers to support subsidies; • Not domestic scale; • Disturbs sleep patterns; • Inefficient noise assessment; • Adversely affects footpaths; • 30 turbines either built or to be built within 5km of the site; • Coal mining activities may affect surface stability; • Turbines should be at sea; • Visible from Skiddaw and Lake District National Park; • Adversely affects

This provided an appropriate hygiene classification zoning and monitoring plan based on the best available information with detailed supporting evidence. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is committed to reviewing sanitary surveys every six years or sooner if significant changes in pollution sources or the fishery have occurred that may require revision of the sampling plan. This report provides a six year review of information and recommendations for a revised sampling plan. The Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) undertook this work on behalf of the FSA.

    Allerdale Unclassified Roads - Published January 2021 • The list has been prepared using the available information from records compiled by the County Council and is correct to the best of our knowledge. 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.
