Relevant Planning A screening opinion was issued by the Local Planning Authority in History: June 2012. This opinion stated that the proposal did constitute EIA development. However, the applicant subsequently prepared additional information (ecological report) and sought a Screening Direction from the Secretary of State. The Screening Direction confirmed that the proposal is not EIA development, stating that whilst the proposal had the potential to impact on the setting of the Solway Coast AONB and on bird species in the Outer South Solway area, based on the separation to the AONB and the height/scale of the turbine, it was not likely to give rise to significant environmental effects on the landscape either alone or in cumulation, nor would it be likely to affect significant populations of protected species, sufficient to require EIA. 2/2012/0250 - Proposed demolition of existing agricultural building with erection of new portal frame shed, approved. Representations: Parish Cou ncil - Recommend refusal on the basis that: • There are already turbines within this area at Low Tarns, with others proposed. • Not for own use • Visible from nearby caravan park, other tourist attractions and from AONB • If allowed, this small rural area will look like a large windfarm. Civil Aviation Authority - Consultations for wind energy related development is exceeding the resource available to respond within LPA timeframes. Should consult with NATS and MoD and relevant aerodromes. The CAA has no responsibility for safeguarding sites other than within its own property. NATS - No objection. MoD - No objection. If permission is granted, the MOD must be informed of the date construction commences, the maximum height and the latitude/longitude. County Council Highways No objection subject to conditions requiring the road to be kept clear of mud during the construction phase and that a Traffic Management Plan be submitted for approval. Natural England – Response to planning application - This proposal does not appear to affect any statutorily protected sites or landscapes, or have significant impacts on the conservation of soils. The LPA should consider the effects on protected species in accordance with standing advice and local wildlife sites. Response to screening opinion – Natural England confirmed that the proposal had to potential for significant impacts on the environment in relation to bird species functionally linked to the Solway SPA (geese and swans). A Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment would be required for the turbine also, including from vantage points within the AONB, but landscape impact was not considered to be significant in EIA terms. Response to Screening Direction - On the basis of the additional material supplied with the consultation, that, in so far as statutory designated sites, landscapes and protected species are concerned, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not required for this application. Based on the additional information provided by the developer, we can confirm that the application site is not located within, adjacent to or in close proximity to any Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Area (SPA) or Ramsar Site and the additional information provided has demonstrated that the development is not likely to significantly affect the interest features for which they are notified. Based on the additional information provided by the developer, the location of the proposal is not within, nor is it sufficiently close to the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site to impact upon the purposes for which these sites were designated. We are further satisfied that the application is not likely to affect significant populations of protected species sufficient to require an EIA. Environmental Health – No objections subject to conditions specifying noise limits in accordance with ETSU and a noise complaint procedure. County Archaeologist – Contrary to paragraph 4.27 of the design and access statement, the proposed turbine lies within a known archaeological site. Aerial photos show that remains of Iron Age and Romano-British field systems survive within the field of the proposed development. These remains will be disturbed by the construction ground works of the proposed turbine and infrastructure. I therefore recommend that the ground works associated with the development should be subject to a programme of archaeological recording. This recording should be carried out during the course of the development (a watching brief) and should be commissioned and undertaken at the expense of the developer. This programme of work can be secured through the inclusion of a condition in any planning consent. RSPB – 1st response, insufficient information relating to geese and swans, functionally linked to the Solway SPA. 2nd consultation response confirms that the additional information provided (Ecological Desktop survey & protected species risk assessment) is satisfactory and that no additional survey work is required. Based on the information provided, the RSPB concur with the conclusions of the report, regarding the low risk to pink footed geese and whooper swans. Fire Officer – No comments received. Cumbria Wildlife Trust – No comments received. County Planning – Not a category 1 application, therefore no comments. Arqiva – No comments received. English Heritage - The views that provide part of the importance (the Outstanding Universal Value) of the World Heritage Site, are those that allow an understanding of Roman military planning and land use: in this precise area these important views centre on views up and down the Roman frontier on the coast, with views inland towards the hinterland being of less importance unless a particularly visual relationship (for example along a Roman road) is interrupted. Having looked at the application information, it does not appear that any of these important hinterland views will be interrupted, so the key issue is impact on views along the frontier. Knowing this site, the nearest Roman installations (and views between them) seem to lie too far to the west for this turbine to disrupt or otherwise harm these views along the frontier. My concern would therefore be with reference to longer distance views, particularly from the south. In such views, the line of the coast is such that the proposed turbine will lie visually behind the Roman installations when looking northwards from places like turret 20b (at Blue Dial). However, although it would have been useful to have a montage from here to assist and the turbine is twice the height of the others given permission, I am confident that the distance over which these views will occur is such that the turbine will not be visually prominent enough to harm an appreciation of the visual relationship between the Roman features. The application has been advertised by site notice and neighbour letter. Two letters of objection has been received from FORCE and the Westnewton Action Group. The grounds of objection are summarised as: • Reference to a small scale turbine when it would be considered medium in scale. • That the cumulative assessment of the development is insufficient and should consider a wider range of existing, consented and proposed turbines as well as including ZTV’s to inform the LVIA. • The scheme will seriously add to the cumulative effect of turbine development in the borough. • The proposal will impact negatively on residents and visitors to the AONB • Potential threat to birds in the coastal region. • Greater assessment of archaeological interest required given the location of sites of interest within 500m. • Noise information is insufficient, the turbine testing was

    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.

    1 Wirral revisited University of the West of England, Bristol This article has two goals. The first is to document fully the recurrent English place-name Wirral and a number of similar ones which can be shown, in some cases definitely, in others probably or possibly, to have the same origin, as well as others which appear to have the same first element. The second is to re-interrogate the widely accepted meaning of the Old English word wīr which is, beyond reasonable doubt, the first element of the name, because the grounds for the general belief that it denotes the shrub known as bog myrtle or sweet gale (Myrica gale) have not yet been properly explored. The article is structured as follows: 1. A dataset of place-names including the word wīr 1.1 Wirral and names of (probably or possibly) identical origin 1.2 Other names including wīr 1.3 Undecidable cases 1.4 Geographical analysis of the distribution of names in wīr 1.5 Summary and prospect 2. A discussion of the possible range of senses of wīr and their history 2.1 Myrtle 2.2 Wire as a lexical item and in dialect plant taxonomy 2.3 Reflection on the Old English compound wīr + h(e)alh 3.

    Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires that local planning authorities identify sufficient deliverable sites to provide five year supply of housing against their housing requirements. This statement outlines the position of Allerdale Borough Council. Housing delivery performance 1.2 The Council’s five year housing supply target is derived from Policy S3 of the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1). This requires that 5,471 new dwellings to be delivered over the period 2011 to 2029. This generates a delivery target of 304 per annum1. 1.3 Table 1 illustrates that 1,318 dwellings had been completed from the period April 2011 to March 2016 against the Local Plan target of 1,520. This equates to an undersupply of 202 dwellings.
