We care about our community, so it is important that we recognise the challenges that the future holds, and that we plan for those changes. We live in an age where rapid advances in technology are changing how we communicate, the way we shop, where and how we work and the life choices we make. We are living longer too; and have higher expectations for a future where we expect to enjoy good health and greater prosperity. We must direct future growth to the right locations and carefully manage regeneration activity. We need to provide guidance so that new development benefits those people who live and work in our towns and villages, whilst continuing to protect and enhance those assets that make the area both attractive and locally distinctive. In doing so we must carefully consider the social, economic and environmental impacts of our actions. Only in this way can we hope to realise our vision of making Pendle a better place to live, work, learn, play and visit. The Core Strategy will help us shape the future of Pendle, by addressing issues that are important to our locality as well as matters of wider concern such as climate change. The policies in the Core Strategy have been influenced by the evidence available to us. In particular they address any cross-boundary issues that may influence development in Pendle and reflect the comments you have supplied in response to earlier public consultations. As such, I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to comment. We believe that this strategy provides the best possible response to your future needs and aspirations. It takes a balanced approach that helps to achieve the best possible outcome for you, your children and Pendle. I believe that by working together we can show the pride, passion and belief needed to successfully deliver our sustainable vision of Pendle’s future.

But, without change we all face a future that is less certain and less secure. And it is important to manage change if it is to benefit us all. 1.2 Local government helps to shape places through the creative use of its powers and influence to promote the general well-being of a community and its citizens. The National Planning Policy Framework (The Framework) makes it clear that local government has and important role to play in promoting sustainable growth. 1.3 Planning plays a major role in influencing places and the way in which they function, placing it at the heart of the Government's place-shaping agenda. As acknowledged in the Ministerial foreword for The Framework, the planning system is about helping to deliver positive growth through sustainable development, ensuring economic, environmental and social progress for this and future generations. The Framework sets-out what the Government considers to be sustainable development What is Sustainable Development? "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Our Common Future - The Bruntland Report (World Commission on Environment and Development, April 1987) 1.4 Everything we do is about achieving a better future for Pendle and the people, who chose to live, work, learn or visit our community. This means providing: good quality affordable homes that meet the needs of all our residents; educational opportunities that allow our children to reach their full potential; a diverse range of jobs that enable young people to meet their aspirations locally; a selection of shops and services that cater for our daily needs; open space, leisure and cultural facilities that allow us to enjoy rewarding, happy and healthy lifestyles; all connected by an efficient and sustainable transport system. 1.5 Our Pendle Our Future: Pendle’s Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS), reflects the community's vision for improving quality of life in the area and establishes a blueprint for the social, economic and environmental transformation of the borough.(1) 1 Pendle Partnership (2008) Our Pendle Our Future: Pendle's Sustainable Community Strategy. Nelson, Pendle Partnership. Pendle Local Plan: Core Strategy Pre-Submission Report 5 About the Core Strategy 2 2 About the Core Strategy Introduction 2.1 The Core Strategy is the spatial expression of the Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS). It represents our approach to managing development and growth in Pendle over the next 15 years. It is the first of two documents that will succeed the Replacement Pendle Local Plan 2001-2016, which was adopted by Pendle Council in May 2006.(2) Why Do We Need It? 2.2 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) introduced significant reforms to the planning system for England and Wales and the format of the statutory Development Plan for the area. The Localism Act (2011) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2012) have introduced further reforms. 2.3 These changes have resulted in a more streamlined planning system(3), which adopts a more proactive approach to managing development, promotes growth and provides increased opportunities for public participation. 2.4 The Core Strategy is the key local component of the statutory Development Plan(4) (Figure 2.1), setting out our vision for the future of Pendle; a clear strategy for the delivery of this vision and the strategic planning policies against which all applications for new development will be assessed. To ensure that decisions on planning applications are both rational and consistent they should be made in accordance with the Development Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise(5). As such the policies and proposals in local planning documents such as Area Action Plans and Neighbourhood Plans, where these are prepared, must be in general conformity with the Core Strategy. 2.5 In turn, the policies in the Core Strategy must be consistent with national planning policy, as set out in the Framework.(6) Published by the Government on 27th March 2012, the Framework replaced over one thousand pages of national policy - previously contained in Planning Policy Statements (PPSs); Planning Policy Guidance notes (PPGs) and some Circulars - with a single 59 page document. 2 In a letter dated 21st April 2009, the Secretary of State issued a direction confirming that policies in the Replacement Pendle Local Plan 2001-2016 could be saved.

Neuware - Frodsham is a market town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. Its population is 8,982. It is approximately 3 miles (5 km) south of Runcorn, 16 miles (26 km) south of Liverpool, and approximately 28 miles (45 km) south-west of Manchester. The River Weaver runs to its north east and on the west it overlooks the estuary of the River Mersey. The A56 road and the Chester-Manchester railway line pass through the town, and the M56 motorway passes to the north west. In the medieval times it was an important borough and port belonging to the earls of Chester[citation needed] Its parish church, St. Laurence's, still exhibits evidence of a building present in the 12th century in its nave and is referenced in the Domesday Book. A market is held each Thursday, and Frodsham's viability as a trading centre is emphasised by the presence of the 'big four' clearing banks and several building societies. 108 pp. Englisch.

This flooding occurred as a result of high flows and blockages in the brook. Today, 79 properties are at risk of flooding in the village with a 1% (1 in 100) chance of occurrence in any one year. 64 of these properties are at risk from more frequent events. Flooding in Trawden is caused by water coming out of the channel when river levels are too high. This is made worse when the channel becomes blocked by debris at bridge crossings. Rainfall can flow very quickly through the catchment, which means there is a limited amount of time in which to warn people of flooding. Whilst there is currently no flood warning service in place for Trawden we are looking at the possibility of providing this service.

    Beck Homes Ltd Representations to Warrington Local Plan: Preferred Development Option – September 2017 On behalf of Beck Homes Ltd I write on behalf of Beck Homes Ltd to make formal comments to the Warrington Local Plan as part of the public consultation. The proposals include very significant changes to the Green Belt, including land for 1,190 new homes in the outlying settlements, of which 500 are proposed on the periphery of Lymm. We propose that alongside considerations to dramatically change the Green Belt around Lymm, the nearby settlement of Broomedge offers an opportunity to be reconsidered as a village to be inset from the Green Belt, therefore allowing a proportion of additional housing within a newly defined settlement boundary that takes account of existing houses and potential small scale development sites that will have little impact on the landscape, but could help to reduce the amount of fresh open Green Belt land needed to be removed from the Green Belt directly adjacent to Lymm. There may also be other villages currently within the Green Belt that could be considered in this way. Broomedge is located very close to Lymm on a main road route, and contains a local conveniences store, post office and public house at the main crossroads, providing a level of local services that can accommodate housing growth in a sustainable manner. As the Council JWPC Ltd – September 2017 1 Beck Homes Ltd are considering many thousand new homes in the Green Belt, it would be appropriate to consider all potential sources of supply, particularly in an area so close to the settlement being considered for significant expansion.
