Throughout the year, the Committee challenged our current performance and debated areas of future activity across a range of critical business issues. Through this continual process of improvement, I have confidence that we are making good progress in developing the necessary structures and processes, allied to a management commitment that will build a sustainable and environmentally aware business for the future. In this report, you can read about our initiatives and performance over the year, as well as our forward- looking plans for 2009 and beyond. As our CR programmes mature, there is an increasing amount of available information to present to our internal and external audiences. As in previous years, we have chosen to use the online environment to report.

  • Proposed Response to the North West Coast Connections Route Corridor Consultation – Appendix 1
    PROPOSED RESPONSE TO THE NORTH WEST COAST CONNECTIONS ROUTE CORRIDOR CONSULTATION – APPENDIX 1 PURPOSE OF APPENDIX The purpose of this Appendix is to set out the proposed response of SLDC to the National Grid North West Coast Connections Route Corridor Consultation 1 General comments 1.1 SLDC broadly supports the preferred option – Onshore South with Tunnel. 1.2 The preferred option includes a tunnel under Morecambe Bay from close to Heysham to the Rampside area and then broadly follows the existing 132kV Electricity North West power line northwards through the Furness peninsula to Broughton in Furness and then up the West Coast of Cumbria, much of which will be removed and replaced by a smaller number of larger 400kV pylons. 1.3 The preferred option, in the main, avoids the significant impacts to South Lakeland communities that would be incurred if other alternative options, such as Onshore South, were implemented. 1.4 However, SLDC’s support for the preferred option is subject to consideration of the remaining concerns and needs for mitigation detailed below. 2 Section H1 (South eastern Furness) 2.1 The preferred tunnel route is proposed to surface slightly inland in the area between Roosebeck and Rampside. SLDC considers that locating the convertor stations at the points where the cable surfaces as close to the existing energy infrastructure at Roosecote Power Station as possible (as indicated by the larger blue hatched polygon in the consultation material) would indeed be preferable. It would have the least impact on social, environmental and economic factors, including landscape, impacts on local communities and tourism.

  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.

    Mr Tony Jarvis - Head of Thermal Power Our ref: NO/2012/103343/01-L01 Projects Your ref: 111108 Centrica Plc Millstream Maidenhead Road Date: 29 March 2012 Windsor Berkshire SL4 5GD Dear Mr Jarvis ROOSECOTE BIOMASS POWER STATION, SECTION 42 CONSULTATION ROOSECOTE POWER STATION IN BARROW IN FURNESS Thank you for referring the Section 43 Consultation on the above proposals, which we received on the 16 February 2012. We have the following comments to make. Flood Risk There are areas within the application site such as parts of the rail link which are located within the indicative tidal flood plain, the area of which is based on the approximate extent of floods with a 0.5% annual probability of occurrence. Hydrology and Flood Risk has been covered within the Preliminary Environmental Information (Ref OXF7339) dated February 2012. We recommend that the sequential approach be undertaken, where practicable, within an application boundary. This ensures that the more vulnerable parts of a development are sited in areas at least flood risk. It is understood that this approach is being used within the site for example with the fuel handling facilities which are located in flood zone 1. Section 7.7.2 states that the rail route is typically between 6.3 and 6.5m AOD. Section 7.9.8 states that the proposed rail route would be flooded to a depth of around 100mm during a 1 in 200 year event based on tidal data provided. However this does not appear to include an allowance for climate change and freeboard. The applicant should be aware that the tidal levels that we provide are based on astronomical tides approximately 2km off the coastline and do not take into account wave action / tidal surge.

  • Letter to David Cameron MP
    Leader of the Council The Courts English Street CARLISLE Cumbria CA3 8NA Fax 01228 607403 Tel 01228 227394 Email [email protected] Our Ref: ETM/KCS Date: 5th October 2010 The Rt Hon David Cameron MP Prime Minister House of Commons London SW1A 0AA Dear As the Conservative Leader of Cumbria County Council, I appreciate and endorse the actions that the coalition government must take to reduce the national deficit. It is also entirely apposite to undertake a comprehensive defence review and that you consider such matters in the light of the overall UK budget and the UK’s defence commitments both at home and abroad. I am also aware that you appreciate how important both submarine and surface vessel building is to Barrow, to south Cumbria and, indeed, to the defence of the nation. County Councillors from across Cumbria, and of all political persuasions, have unanimously agreed to give full support to plans to secure a prosperous future for Barrow and the Furness area. Barrow has suffered in the past because of its comparative isolation. It is ironic, perhaps, that cutting-edge manufacturing and the latest forms of energy are underpinning the modest turnaround in the area’s fortunes; this marks Barrow out from other regenerating towns that have relied on financial services and the retail sector to underpin their economies. Barrow shipyard is one of the largest in the United Kingdom (having constructed well over 800 vessels in its history). The port of Barrow itself is heavily involved with the transportation of natural gases and other forms of energy from local sites such as Sellafield, Barrow Offshore Windfarm, Ormonde Wind Farm, Rampside Gas Terminal and Roosecote Power Station.
