Introduction 1.1 Background The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) consists of Halton Council, Knowsley Council, Liverpool City Council, Sefton Council, St Helens Council and Wirral Council. Figure 1.1 provides a location map for the Liverpool City Region, showing each of the constituent authorities and the surrounding areas. The LCRCA are looking to prepare a statutory Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) which will be the first of its kind for the region. It will set out a high-level spatial strategy to help guide future development; whilst tackling climate change and addressing social inequalities. AECOM has been commissioned by the LCRCA to lead on an Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) in support of the SDS. This document is a ‘scoping report’, which sets out the background information, policy context and key issues in relation to a range of sustainability issues. This is one of the first outputs from the IIA process, and it sets the framework for future work. Table 1.1: Key facts relating to the Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) Name of Liverpool City Region Combined Authority: Responsible • Halton Borough Council Authorities • Knowsley Council • Liverpool City Council • Sefton Council • St. Helens Council • Wirral Council Title of Plan Liverpool City Region Combined Authority: Spatial Development Strategy Spatial Area The SDS will cover the Liverpool City Region which consists of six covered by the local authorities listed above. However, there will also be a need to plan consider cross boundary issues with neighbouring locations (especially those with a strong link to the LCR such as Warrington and West Lancashire). Plan contact point Jamie Longmire Senior Spatial Planning Officer [email protected] Ian McCluskey IIA Contact Point Principal Consultant [email protected] Prepared for: Liverpool City Region Combined Authority 1 Liverpool City Region Spatial Development Strategy Scoping Report Integrated Apppraisal The Blue outline is compiled from constituent Local Authority boundary data which extends beyond the land boundaries. This open source data allows for more fine-grained analysis at LSOA level (rather than using the ‘land-only’ boundaries for the LCR, which only present data at MSOA level). Source for all of the LA boundaries: UK Data Service https://borders.ukdataservice.ac.uk/bds.html) under ‘Open Government Agreement’. Prepared for: Liverpool City Region Combined Authority 2 Liverpool City Region Spatial Development Strategy Integrated Apppraisal 1.2 Relationship with other plans The LCR Spatial Development Strategy is driven by a range of other plans, policies and strategies, and will have connections with other City Region and Local Authority documents. Figure 1.2 below sets out the broad framework within which the LCRSDS will sit; listing key policy drivers and how the strategy fits within a wider hierarchy of land use plans at local authority level. Other important policies, plans and strategies have also been illustrated, but this list is by no means exhaustive. Prepared for: Liverpool City Region Combined Authority 3 Liverpool City Region Spatial Development Strategy: Scoping Report Integrated Apppraisal Figure 1.2: Relationship with other Plans Prepared for: Liverpool City Region Combined Authority 4 Liverpool City Region Spatial Development Strategy Scoping Report Integrated Apppraisal 1.3 What is Integrated Impact Assessment? There are a range of impact assessment tools that can be used to assess how a plan, programme, project or particular development performs against a range of criteria. The common aim of these tools is to gain an understanding of impacts upon environmental, social or economic issues (or a combination of these); with the aim of achieving a better performing proposal overall. Certain impact assessment tools are a legal requirement for when preparing particular plans, and this is the case for the LCR Spatial Development Strategy. For example: - A Sustainability Assessment / Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/ SEA) which reviews and predicts how a proposal performs against a range of environmental and sustainability factors; whilst suggesting ways in which mitigation and enhancement measures can be taken into consideration. - A Health Impact Assessment (HIA) as defined by the World Health Organisation is a practical approach to reviewing potential health effects of plans, policies and projects. - An Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA) reviews and seeks to ensure that equality and fairness is achieved in the delivery of services and how people experience life. - An assessment which has regard to community safety and the ‘prevention of crime’. It is possible to undertake these processes separately,

    Wirral Walking Festival 2021

    Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Wirral Walking Festival 2021 The Wirral Walking Festival, that would normally take place during May, is promoting local walks in a slightly different format this year. The Covid-19 restrictions ‘roadmap out of lockdown’ published on 22nd February means that social distancing will be in place until 21st June at the earliest. Therefore we’re not presenting a chronological list of guided walks, but are instead focussing on ‘signposting’ to groups such as The Ramblers and Wirral Footpaths and Open Spaces Preservation Society who have an annual programme of walks. Have a look at the contributors’ websites and perhaps join one of the local groups and (when you can) join them on one of their walks and discover the historic towns and villages and diverse landscapes that make the Wirral Peninsula such a wonderful place. Health Walks, Buggy Park Fitness and Run in Wirral are currently going ahead but please check their websites and social media for updates. Feedback is important to allow us to continue to improve and develop the programme so please contact the Wirral Walking Festival Coordinator: [email protected] Many thanks to Hazel Thomson who has once again allowed us to use one of her paintings for the festival brochure cover. To see more of Hazel’s art please visit her website at: http://www.hazelthomsonart.com/ Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Many of the walks offered by the different groups featured in this brochure will be accessible to people with limited mobility. Please check with the To find accessibility group if you have specific information for Wirral sites requirements including please visit: wheelchair access or are unable to step over stiles.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast

    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.
