Eden Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation | 2014-2032 Eden Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation | 2014-2032 Join the Conversation on Future Jobs and Housing www.eden.gov.uk/localplan2014 EdenCouncil EdenDistrictCouncil A Plan for Eden Local Plan 2014 - 2032 Eden Local Plan - Preferred Options This document sets out how we are planning to manage the growth of new jobs, homes and infrastructure in Eden over the next eighteen years and seeks your views. Further information on the Local Plan and planning in Eden can be found on the Council’s website www.eden.gov.uk. Designed and produced by the Planning Policy Section, Department of Communities, Eden District Council. This document can be made available in large print on request Ruth Atkinson Communities Director Mansion House Penrith Cumbria CA11 7YG July 2014 1 Foreword We know that when councils publish plans for consultation there can be a sense that decisions have already been made, and there’s no point in getting involved. This is not the case with this plan. There are some genuine choices that need to be made over planning the future of Eden, given the changes we are anticipating, and we need your help in deciding what to do about them. Over the next twenty years our evidence is telling us that there will be: For those already here, more deaths than births and more moves overseas, meaning a decline in the population based here now A decline in the numbers of young people in the district An increase in the number of people of people over retirement age coming to live in the district Much more demand for housing from smaller households (one and two persons) More demand for housing outside the main urban areas More demand for affordable ie subsidised housing A need for new jobs, particularly higher paid jobs A need for new schools, open space and new infrastructure to support new development How and where we plan for these changes will be vital to preserving the essential characteristics that make the district an outstanding place to live and work. We also can’t ignore change - if we fail to plan the population will still grow, but there may be fewer new houses, fewer jobs and less opportunities for those already here. It would also risk decisions on where new development goes being made on an ad hoc basis by developers, without the benefit of an assessment of all the options available and how they compare. This plan is also our ‘shop window’ - we hope that looking through it we hope you gain a better understanding of where we aim, as a Council, to influence the future of your district. The plan covers every area of work that the Council and County Council are charged with delivering, from housing through economic development, through education, transport, parks and green spaces, waste management, leisure facilities and supporting our communities. Finally, this is a plan that also has to cover the largest non-unitary local authority area in England. Eden has more than 2,100 square kilometres and more than a hundred towns, villages and hamlets, all with a strong sense of community, and all with their own defining characteristics. Feedback from you on our plans so far has also told us that everywhere is different and has different needs and aspirations. We cannot hope to offer detailed policies and allocations for every single place in the district, nor do we think that it is right or practical for the Council to micromanage the future development of all the places and spaces that make Eden what it is. A properly effective plan needs to be rooted in the interests and needs of the people it affects. 2 That is why we hope that this plan, and the technical work that went into it will also provide a springboard for the people of Eden to continue to come together to produce their own neighbourhood plans, plans which fully understand and reflect the needs and views of everyone in the community. We will do everything we can to support you in this. Please let us know what you think.

It provides a clear planning framework to enable Eden District Council to get on and deliver the vision and objectives unique to its area It indicates what sort of new development will be acceptable in Eden, and where planning permission will (and will) not be granted It provides certainty for developers and utility providers (and others investing in an area) on the best areas to focus It helps partner organisations deliver their own priorities It attracts more funding and investment, both from the private sector and also to the Council through infrastructure investment, developer contributions, growth funding and New Homes bonus, allowing it to invest more in the future of Eden’s communities How is it structured? This draft plan is divided to four parts. Part 1 (this part) is the ‘summary’ part and sets out why we are producing plan, and the process it must follow Part 2 is the ‘context’ part - this includes the background and justification for the plan, looks at what makes Eden unique, and then sets out the vision and objectives it aims to deliver Part 3 is the ‘spatial’ part - this part includes four town plans for our main towns, showing what land we expect to see delivered, and for what.

  • 57 15. Dunnerdale and Broughton Low Fells Bounded by Coniston
    A Guide to the Cumbria Historic Landscape Characterisation Programme Version 1 July 2009 15. Dunnerdale and Broughton Low Fells Bounded by Coniston Water to the east, and the Central Fells to the north and west, this character area is bisected by the Lake District National Park boundary. It is dominated by the valley running from the Duddon estuary up to Coniston Water, with Coniston village at the north end and the market village of Broughton-in-Furness at the centre and the industrial town of Millom at the south. The topographical context of the character area is the same either side of the park boundary and all the area shares a similar history of woodland industries and minerals extraction and processing. The valleys were important communications routes for the slate and metal ore extractive industries around Coniston, Torver and the Langdale Valleys. Past industries including medieval iron smelting, post-medieval copper mining, 18th- 20th century textiles manufacture and 19th and 20th century iron works have all left their mark and are a major characteristic of the area. The western part of the character area, outside the park, experienced more development from the later 19th century, however, especially at Millom. The exclusion of the southern part of the character area from the park has exacerbated difference in recent years with a concentration of quarrying and the development of wind farms as on Kirkby Moor. Like the Allithwaite and Underbarrow Low Fells, this area is characterised by low hills that were previously common waste and which were subject to planned enclosure in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

  • 10 National Park Boundary Review
    CABINET Paper No. Meeting date: 2 March 2010 From: Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport 10 Corporate Director – Environment NATIONAL PARK BOUNDARY REVIEW – CONSULATION RESPONSE PART A - RECOMMENDATION OF CABINET MEMBER 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report considers the implications of Natural England’s consultation on the proposed extensions to the Lake District National Park and Yorkshire Dales National Park. The report considers the desirability of designation for 5 areas in Cumbria and the resulting shift in planning and access/rights of way functions from the county council, a change in governance from local authorities to a National Park Board, changes in local planning responsibilities, and possible effects on rural communities. It also makes recommendations on possible boundary changes and provides a series of options for Cumbria County Council to consider for its consultation response. 2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS 2.1 This report relates to the Community Strategy vision for world class environmental quality and a sustainable and prosperous economy. National Parks have a role to play in managing, sustaining and enhancing Cumbria’s unrivalled natural landscape and can support the development of more sustainable tourism linked to the high quality environment. National Parks can assist in meeting performance indicators in the Cumbria Agreement relating to Improved Local Biodiversity. National Parks are relevant to the delivery of the Council Plan Greener Theme – creating and protecting a high quality environment for all. Additional resources could be made available to areas that become part of the National Parks through grants and National Park income to help assist with the above outcomes.

    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.

We are now asking for views on whether this plan can be considered ‘sound’ before we proceed to a public Local Plan Examination Further information on the Local Plan and planning in Eden can be found on the Council’s website www.eden.gov.uk.

It is about managing the changes we anticipate in a way that provides the most benefits to the most amount of people. We can’t ignore this change - if we fail to plan the population will still grow, but there may be fewer new houses, fewer jobs and less opportunities for those already here.
