    Northumberland Local Plan Schedule of proposed Main Modifications to the Northumberland Local Plan June 2021 0 Northumberland Local Plan – Schedule of Proposed Main Modifications June 2021 Introduction Following the submission of the Northumberland Local Plan for Independent Examination to the Secretary of State in May 2019, the appointed Inspectors have considered all written representations received, and had regard to matters raised during a series of public hearings held during 2019 and 2020. The Inspectors have concluded that Main Modifications are required to make the plan sound. The Inspectors have requested that the Council consults on a schedule of proposed Main Modifications which they consider are necessary to ensure the soundness of the plan. The proposed Main Modifications are put forward without prejudice to the Inspectors’ final conclusions regarding the soundness of the Plan. The Inspectors will take account of the responses to the consultation before reaching final conclusions on the Main Modifications that are required to the Plan. This document sets out the proposed Main Modifications for the Northumberland Local Plan. These modifications have been subject to sustainability appraisal and habitats regulations assessment. Representations are only invited in relation to the proposed Main Modifications set out in this document, the schedule of proposed modifications to the Local Plan Policies Map, the Sustainability Appraisal of the Main Modifications and Policies Map changes and the Habitats Regulations Assessment of the Main Modifications and Policies Map changes. Representations relating to other aspects of the Plan or “omission sites” will not be considered by the Inspector.

  • Iwa Directory of the Inland Waterways of Great Britain
    IWA DIRECTORY OF THE INLAND WATERWAYS OF GREAT BRITAIN OVERVIEW This Excel workbook lists inland waterways in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), including those open to navigation, those under restoration and those remaining derelict. It shows navigation authorities and other bodies with a navigation management interest (such as canal restoration societies) and the status of each such body, as well as local government authorities covering each section of waterway. Other information is included as detailed below. For the purposes of this database, inland waterways have been taken to include: > all non-tidal waterways where navigation is or has been practised regularly by cargo-carrying craft, passenger craft and/or motorised recreational craft; > tidal waterways where navigation is or has been practised regularly by cargo-carrying or passenger craft on internal (non-seagoing) traffics and/or by motorised recreational vessels without open-sea capability; > tidal canals constructed to extend navigation inland; > waterways named in the Department for Transport's inventory of inland waterways used for the purposes of compiling inland waterways freight statistics. Only waterways known to have been regularly used by types of craft described above are included. Planned waterways never constructed and partially constructed waterways never brought into use are omitted. Scottish sea lochs are only included where they fulfil the criteria above and are linked to other inland waterways. There is evidence that a number of other natural waterways were used occasionally in mediaeval times and earlier, when water levels allowed, to move heavy cargoes, for example stone for construction projects, but such transport was often subject to long delays and many hazards and such waterways are not included unless later development led to regular use.
