Silverdale List of Local Heritage Assets Draft Nominations May 2016 1. Introduction Lancaster District’s Heritage Lancaster District has over 1,300 listed buildings that are recognised for their national historic and architectural importance. In addition to this, there are many other buildings and structures that contribute to the local character of the area. Lancaster City Council recognises the value of creating a list of local heritage assets because there are many buildings, structures and sites that contribute to the area’s unique history and character. University of Cumbria - Bowerham Barracks What is a Local Heritage Asset? A Local Heritage Asset is a building, structure or designed landscape which has a degree of architectural or historic significance which does not meet the national criteria for designation as a listed building, scheduled monument or registered park and garden, but still merits consideration in planning decisions due to its interest. Ridgeway Park in Silverdale Purpose of a Local List Lancaster City Council’s list of local heritage assets provides an opportunity for a community and a local authority to jointly identify heritage assets which are distinctive to the local historic environment and community. The local list can also inform owners, developers and officers of the Council on important characteristics that are desirable to protect and retain. The designation of a building or structure as a local heritage asset does not introduce any additional Main Street in Warton controls, but will better inform planning decisions. 2 2. Silverdale History In the 11th century, it is believed Silverdale was part of a large estate held by the Earl of Northumberland, brother to the last Anglo-Saxon King of England – King Harold. During the medieval period, Silverdale became part of the Barony of Kendal and by the 16th century it became a manor in its own right. Due to the ancient system of open fields or ‘common fields’ in England, the historic settlement plan of Silverdale is characterised by dispersed enclosed isolated farmsteads for pastoral farming. As agriculture became more capital intensive in the post-medieval period, many of the previously landless peasant labourers and farmers were able to build cottages and farmhouses with associated barns. Silverdale’s village became populated with many late 17th and 18th century traditional farmhouse and barns. In 1857 the railway arrived at Silverdale village, as part of the Ulverston and Lancaster railway. This led to an increase in trade and visitors, but also the increase in population as Lancashire industrialists lived in Silverdale as a rural retreat. In the Victorian period, novelist Elizabeth Gaskell regularly visited Silverdale. The historic dispersed agricultural settlement plan has been infilled by late 19th and 20th century buildings to accommodate the growth in rural living. Many of the Victorian and Edwardian large houses are characterised by architectural revival styles. In 1972 Arnside and Silverdale were designated an Area of Outstanding National Beauty to protect and conserve its distinctive natural landscape.

    Lancashire County Council Children & Young People’s Public Health Commissioning—Child Health Profiles 2017 Public Health, assisted by Business Intelligence within Lancashire County Council have created 34 middle level (MSOA* cluster) Child Health Profiles (CHPs). This is because the CHPs on the Public Health England website are only at upper tier level. This does not show the outcome data at sub-district level but just an overview of children and young people’s health across the whole of County. These lower level profiles highlight where children’s health needs are the greatest and opportunities to reduce inequalities are greatest. MORECAMBE & HEYSHAM There are 16 primary and 2 secondary schools with 6th forms in Morecambe & Heysham. There are 2 special schools, 2 independent schools and 1 further education col- lege. There are 6 GP practices. Child health outcomes are quite poor in Morecambe and Heysham with 4 indicators ranked 3rd highest of the 34 CHPs (where 34 = best) covering Lancashire. These are the % of young people not in education employment or train- ing, the % of maternities to mums aged <20 years, the num- ber of children aged 5-17 on a child protection plan and the number of looked after children aged 0-4. It also has the 4th highest number of looked after children aged 5-17. 22% of children here are living in poverty (10th). Educational attainment in quite low with 46% of 10/11 year olds passing key stage 2 education and 48% of 15/16 year olds passing key stage 4. 64% of 4/5 year olds achieve a good level of development at the end of reception (7th).

  • The Seaside Resorts of Westmorland and Lancashire North of the Sands in the Nineteenth Century

    The Seaside Resorts of Westmorland and Lancashire North of the Sands in the Nineteenth Century

    THE SEASIDE RESORTS OF WESTMORLAND AND LANCASHIRE NORTH OF THE SANDS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY BY ALAN HARRIS, M.A., PH.D. READ 19 APRIL 1962 HIS paper is concerned with the development of a group of Tseaside resorts situated along the northern and north-eastern sides of Morecambe Bay. Grange-over-Sands, with a population in 1961 of 3,117, is the largest member of the group. The others are villages, whose relatively small resident population is augmented by visitors during the summer months. Although several of these villages have grown considerably in recent years, none has yet attained a population of more than approxi­ mately 1,600. Walney Island is, of course, exceptional. Since the suburbs of Barrow invaded the island, its population has risen to almost 10,000. Though small, the resorts have an interesting history. All were affected, though not to the same extent, by the construction of railways after 1846, and in all of them the legacy of the nineteenth century is still very much in evidence. There are, however, some visible remains and much documentary evidence of an older phase of resort development, which preceded by several decades the construction of the local railways. This earlier phase was important in a number of ways. It initiated changes in what were then small communities of farmers, wood-workers and fishermen, and by the early years of the nineteenth century old cottages and farmsteads were already being modified to cater for the needs of summer visitors. During the early phase of development a handful of old villages and hamlets became known to a select few.

    Full proposal for establishing a new unitary authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland December 2020 The Bay Council and North Cumbria Council Proposal by Barrow Borough Council, Lancaster City Council and South Lakeland District Council Foreword Dear Secretary of State, Our proposals for unitary local government in the Bay would build on existing momentum and the excellent working relationships already in place across the three district Councils in the Bay area. Together, we can help you deliver a sustainable and resilient local government solution in this area that delivers priority services and empowers communities. In line with your invitation, and statutory guidance, we are submitting a Type C proposal for the Bay area which comprises the geographies of Barrow, Lancaster Cllr Ann Thomson Sam Plum and South Lakeland councils and the respective areas of the county councils of Leader of the Council Chief Executive Cumbria and Lancashire. This is a credible geography, home to nearly 320,000 Barrow Borough Council Barrow Borough Council people, most of whom live and work in the area we represent. Having taken into account the impact of our proposal on other local boundaries and geographies, we believe creating The Bay Council makes a unitary local settlement for the remainder of Cumbria more viable and supports consideration of future options in Lancashire. Partners, particularly the health service would welcome alignment with their footprint and even stronger partnership working. Initial discussions with the Police and Crime Commissioners, Chief Officers and lead member for Fire and Cllr Dr Erica Lewis Kieran Keane Rescue did not identify any insurmountable barriers, whilst recognising the need Leader of the Council Chief Executive for further consultation.

    Economic Dev Strategy and A

    Plan for Fylde - Plan for the Future Fylde Council Fylde Local Plan Publication VersionEconomic Development June 2016Strategy and Action Plan Fylde Local Plan to 2032 – Publication version Preface Fylde consists of the classic seaside resort towns of Lytham and St Annes, the historic market town of Kirkham and the urban centres of Wesham, Warton and Freckleton; together with large areas of countryside and picturesque rural settlements. The Local Plan identifies the settlement hierarchy for Fylde at the end of the plan period in 2032. It is a destination in its own right for leisure, culture and tourism. Fylde is also an important part of the Lancashire economy – containing regionally significant business sectors including BAE Systems at Warton, (part of the internationally and nationally important Lancashire Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing Enterprise Zone), Blackpool Airport and its associated Enterprise Zone and the Westinghouse Springfields (Salwick) nuclear processing plant. It is vital that we manage, guide and encourage development within Fylde to meet the identified needs and aspirations of our local communities. The Local Plan identifies four Strategic Locations for Development which will be the focus for the level of housing development and economic growth required in Fylde up to the end of the plan period. The four Strategic Locations are: Lytham and St Annes; Fylde – Blackpool Periphery; Warton; and Kirkham and Wesham. To accommodate the level of development proposed, the Local Plan includes a masterplan policy for all of the Strategic Locations to ensure that new development on strategic sites is planned and delivered in an effective manner. The Publication version represents an important process in the preparation of the new Local Plan for Fylde.
