Lancaster District 2020 – 2031 A Local Plan for Lancaster District 2020 – 2031 Plan period 2011 - 2031 Regulation 18 Consultation Draft Part One: Climate Change review of Strategic Policies & Land Allocations Development Plan Document [July 2021] Local Plan for Lancaster District – Part One: Climate Emergency Review of the Strategic Policies and Land Allocations DPD Local Plan for Lancaster District 2020-2031 (Plan period 2011 – 2031) Part One: Climate Change Review of the Strategic Policies & Land Allocations DPD Draft July 2021 1 Adoption Version July 2020 July 2021 Local Plan for Lancaster District – Part One: Climate Emergency Review of the Strategic Policies and Land Allocations DPD FOREWORD In light of the declaration of a climate emergency made by Lancaster City Council in January 2019, and the rapidly evolving recognition that climate change will have a significant impact on all aspects of our lives, the City Council has made the dynamic and ambitious decision to review the Local Plan to seek better environmental outcomes for the District as a whole, ultimately assisting with the delivery of the net zero carbon ambition of the council. The Local Plan Review looks at a range of topic areas, from water management and green and blue Infrastructure, through to energy efficiency standards, sustainable design and renewable energy generation as well as strategic transport and heritage considerations in the context of climate change. The policies that are included in the Local Plan Review will remain in place through to the early 2030’s and be used in the determination of all planning applications received by Lancaster City Council. The climate change local plan review is prepared in consultation with the local community, key stakeholders and the development industry and is subject to Examination by an independent planning Inspector to ensure that the plan is ‘sound’ and has been prepared in accordance with national legislation and has followed the correct procedures. This climate change local plan review continues to support the adopted Local Plan’s aim of promoting opportunities for housing and employment and deliver the infrastructure necessary to achieve sustainable development, but now goes further in positively and proactively considering climate change adaptation and mitigation in planning for development - to ensure that future generations have places to live and work. The Council believes that this climate emergency plan review correctly places sustainability at its heart, whilst balancing the need for delivering the district’s future development. The review recognises the increased importance that climate change impacts can have, whilst continuing to preserve the special characteristics of our district. The Local Plan Review essentially reviews two key documents. The first is the Strategic Policies and Land Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) which sets out a spatial vision and strategy for the district, and establishes what the strategic development needs of the district are; and then describes how those needs will be distributed through a series of land allocations to identify where development needs will be met and where areas that are of specific economic, environmental or social importance will be protected. The second is the Development Management DPD, which sets out the planning policies that will be used to determine planning applications. Together these two documents make up the adopted Local Plan and guides how the future development needs of Lancaster district are met. It is these two DPDs that are being revisited as part of the Climate Emergency Local Plan Review. Lancaster district is a very special place for all who live, work and visit here; from the coastline of Morecambe Bay to the rolling landscape of the Lune Valley, the seaside towns of Morecambe and Heysham, the historic city of Lancaster, Carnforth with its nationally-significant railway-heritage, our many distinct villages, our two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We all share the desire to conserve and enhance and protect our unique district for generations to come.

    REVISED DRAFT EXPERIENCES WITH INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS FOR IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT ICID TASK FORCE ON INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS Edited by Jancy Vijayan and Bart Schultz August 2007 International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) 48 Nyaya Marg, Chanakyapuri New Delhi 110 021 INDIA Tel: (91-11) 26116837; 26115679; 24679532; Fax: (91-11) 26115962 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.icid.org 1 Foreword FOREWORD Inter Basin Water Transfers (IBWT) are in operation at a quite substantial scale, especially in several developed and emerging countries. In these countries and to a certain extent in some least developed countries there is a substantial interest to develop new IBWTs. IBWTs are being applied or developed not only for irrigated agriculture and hydropower, but also for municipal and industrial water supply, flood management, flow augmentation (increasing flow within a certain river reach or canal for a certain purpose), and in a few cases for navigation, mining, recreation, drainage, wildlife, pollution control, log transport, or estuary improvement. Debates on the pros and cons of such transfers are on going at National and International level. New ideas and concepts on the viabilities and constraints of IBWTs are being presented and deliberated in various fora. In light of this the Central Office of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) has attempted a compilation covering the existing and proposed IBWT schemes all over the world, to the extent of data availability. The first version of the compilation was presented on the occasion of the 54th International Executive Council Meeting of ICID in Montpellier, France, 14 - 19 September 2003.

The brief sought the preparation of strategic guidance on the sensitivity of Lancashire’s landscapes to wind energy developments. This complies with the requirements of ‘Planning Policy Statement’ 22 (PPS 22) which advocates criteria based policies to identify broad areas at the regional/sub-regional level where development of particular types of renewable energy may be appropriate. The context for this study is set by various Central and Regional Government documents that set targets for energy generation from renewable sources. 1.2 This study addresses landscape parameters only and excludes consideration of other issues (e.g. impacts on ecology, hydrological regimes, soil resources, grid connections etc) which also merit careful consideration when seeking to locate wind energy developments.
