Allerdale Borough Council Planning Application 2/2014/0596 Allerdale Borough Council Planning Application 2/2014/0596 Proposed Proposed single wind turbine hub height 55.6m and tip height Development: 79.6m, 2 no. metering units, turbine assembly area, crane area and access track Location: Land South of Great Clifton Off Moor Road Between A66 and A595 Great Clifton Workington Drawing Numbers - Site Location Plan DG-PLAN-LOC1 - Site Location Plan DG-PLAN-LOC2 Recommendation - Site Layout DG-PLAN-LAY - Material specification DG-DETAIL1 - E48 Wind Turbine Detail DG-DETAIL2 REFUSE Summary/Key Issues Issue Conclusion Principle of The Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) seeks to promote the Development development of renewable and low carbon energy resources provided the impacts (either in isolation or cumulatively) are, or can be made. Paragraph 93 of the NPPF sets out that the provision of renewable energy infrastructure is central to the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Regard should be made to the Ministerial Statement of 18 June 2015 which states that planning permission should only be granted where : - The development site is in an area identified as suitable for wind energy development in a Local or Neighbourhood Plan: and - Following consultation, it can be demonstrated that the planning impacts identified by affected local communities have been fully addressed and therefore the proposal has their backing. The Ministerial Statement 18 June 2015 makes it clear that turbine development should be in specified areas and supported by local communities. Until further work is undertaken to identify suitable areas for such turbine development in Allerdale, turbine applications submitted post 18 June 2015 on a site outside an area identified as suitable for wind energy development in a Local or Neighbourhood Plan would be contrary to the 18 June 2015 Ministerial Statement. This application was, however, received prior to this Ministerial Statement on 18th August 2014. Community The application has 7 letters of objection from local residents. response There are also letters of objection from the nearest Parish Council, Little Clifton, Great Clifton and Winscales. Visual and The proposed turbine will increase the number of existing turbines Landscape and in the area and is considered to have a significant adverse visual cumulative impact impact on users of local roads and the surrounding area. By virtue of the scale and siting of the proposed turbine. Officers consider that there is likely to be a significant adverse visual and landscape impact on users of local roads and footpaths. There are also cumulative visual effects with other windfarm sites, particularly with the adjacent Winscales site. Residential The proposed turbine is within 800m of a number of residential amenity properties. The proposal is likely to have an adverse impact on the amenity of the residents of these properties, and there is no evidence of support from the local community for a separation distance of less than 800m in this case. Shadow flicker is not anticipated to affect any residential properties. Noise Noise impacts from the turbine are likely to be acceptable and upper levels can be secured through planning conditions. Heritage The proposal will not have a significant adverse impact on any designated heritage assets or nature conservation interests. Operational Subject to conditions relating to construction operations, the requirements proposed development would not have an adverse impact on the highway network. Nature The impacts on nature conservation interests including bats and Conservation birds are not considered to be significant. However, local community representations consider that there could be an adverse impact. Hydrology and Flood risk and/or contamination of water are not anticipated to Drainage increase as a result of the development. Aviation The applicant is currently unable to satisfy the requirements of Interference NATS, a statutory consultee, in respect of air navigational radar. Potential benefits The proposal will make a contribution to renewable energy sources nationally. Energy produced would be used by the farm and exported. Proposal The proposal is for a single 500Kw turbine with a tower of 55.6m and tip height of 79.6m, with a 48m rotor diameter. It is proposed to be finished in pale grey matt colour. The transformer for the turbine is proposed to be located within the tower base, and two container units are proposed to be located adjacent to the turbine to house the switchgear for the turbine and a HVmeter room for Electricity North West. The metering units measure 3.05m x 2.95m and have a maximum height of 2.44m. An access track, approximately 75 metres long will be required during construction and decommissioning of the wind turbine. Connection cables to the local grid will be via underground ducting laid along the proposed and existing access roads. The Enercon E48 wind turbine has been selected and the applicant has advised that there is an estimated annual carbon offset of 795 tonnes. Site The turbine is proposed to be located within an agricultural field, currently used for pasture. The site area for the development is 0.28 ha. The site is adjacent to an established wind farm of 7 turbines of similar size (Winscales Moor Wind Farm, Winscales, Workington). In addition, 11 further large turbines are located approximately 1.2km to the west (East Town End Farm, Winscales, Workington). The site is on the outskirts of Workington approximately 1.5km south east of the residential suburb of Stainburn. Other settlements are noted as follows. Great Clifton 1km north, Little Clifton / Bridgefoot 1.4km east. The nearest residential dwellings are within the settlements of Crossbarrow and Great Clifton. Public highways surround the site. The A595 is noted 450 metres to the south with a number of other roads nearby including the A66 Stainburn bypass 350m to the north. Relevant Policies National Planning Policy Framework Meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding and coastal change Conserving and enhancing the natural environment Supporting a prosperous rural economy Planning Practice Guidance for Renewable and Low Carbon Energy June 2015 Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted July 2014 Policy S1 – Presumption in favour of sustainable development Policy S14 – Rural economy Policy S19 – Renewable Energy and Low Carbon Technologies Policy S27 – Heritage Assets Policy S32 – Safeguarding amenity Policy S33 – Landscape Policy S35 – Protecting and enhancing biodiversity and geodiversity Policy S36 – Air, water and soil quality Policy S4 – Design principles Policy DM17 – Trees, hedgerows and woodland The NPPF 2012 and the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) 2014 are broadly supportive of proposals for renewable energy development. The need to meet national targets for the generation of electricity and heat from renewable and low carbon sources is recognised as are the wider environmental, community and economic benefits of such development. However, the Ministerial Statement 18 June 2015 makes it clear that turbine development should be in specified areas and supported by local communities. Until further work is undertaken to identify suitable areas for such turbine development in Allerdale, turbine applications submitted post 18 June 2015 on a site outside an area identified as suitable for wind energy development in a Local or Neighbourhood Plan would be contrary to the 18 June 2015 Ministerial Statement. Relevant Planning History None Representations Electricity North West – Advise that the proposal has no impact on their electricity distribution system infrastructure or other ENW assets. Cumbria County Council ‘Landscape and Countryside’ – Advise that they don’t consider the proposal to be a category 1 application. Therefore the County Council will not be responding from a strategic planning perspective. However, they comment that single turbines can have significant impacts on the landscape and visual amenity when the cumulative effects are considered. It is recommended that to assist in the decision making the following documents are used : - The Cumbria Wind Energy Supplementary Planning Document - The Cumbria Landscape Character Guidance and Toolkit - The Cumbria Renewable Energy Capacity and Deployment Study Cumbria County Council ‘Highways Authority’ – No objections subject to conditions being attached to any planning approval regarding the construction phase and the submission of a Traffic and Construction Management Plan. Stobart Air – No objection subject to the fulfilment of two conditions. Arqiva – No objection NATS – Objects to the proposal as it conflicts with their safeguarding criteria. Ministry of Defence – Requests that the turbine is fitted with aviation lighting Natural England – Does not wish to make specific comment on the details of this consultation, and they have standing advice on protected species. Friends of Rural Cumbria’s Environment (FORCE) – object on the following grounds : - Cumulative impact - Impact on landscape - Impact and residential amenity, contrary to Policies S32 and S33 of the Allerdale Local Plan. - There are a number of residential properties within 800m of the application site. This includes properties at Crossbarrow Old Farm, Fell View Farm, Brackenbarrow, Quarry Hill, Close End and at Clifton Hall Close and Clifton Gardens in the village of Great Clifton. - Policy S19 recommends a separation distance of 800m between wind turbines measuring over 25m to the blade tip and residential properties. - Ecology – The

  • Distington Parish Plan 2005
    Voluntary Action Cumbria DISTINGTON CP Distington Parish Council Distington Parish Development and Action Plan 2005-2010 Prepared by Distington Parish Council The Parish Of Distington The Parish of Distington is situated four miles from Workington and Whitehaven, and ten miles from Cockermouth, and is made up of the villages of Distington, Gilgarran and Pica plus the surrounding area. The population of 2247, recorded in the 2001 census, shows a decrease of 270 on the 1995 figures which was already down 107 on the 1991 figure, making a total reduction of 377 or 10.3% in just 10yrs. This is a trend, which may have turned around since 2001, as the housing association now report that there is a waiting list for housing in the Parish. In the past, the Parish was largely dependent upon farming, coal mining, iron making and High Duty Alloys for its income. All of these industries have declined over the years. There is now no coal mining or iron making, and High Duty Alloys and farming are much reduced in the number they employ. Most of the Community now has to travel to the neighbouring towns and further a field for employment, which is made difficult for some by the scarcity of public transport, especially for those who cannot drive, and in particular the school leaver. The 1995 census showed that of the 972 households in the Parish 295 did not own a car, which is 34% a reduction of 4% on the 1995 figure of 38%. The census also showed that 19% of the residents were over 65, with a further 27% over the age of 45, statistics which many believe will have increased considerably over recent years, meaning that there will be a greater need for better public transport, and a greater demand for recreational activities.

  • Copeland LDF - Submission
    Local Development Framework 270912 Item 6 Copeland LDF - Submission EXECUTIVE MEMBER: Councillor George Clements LEAD OFFICER: John Groves REPORT AUTHOR: Chris Bamber PURPOSE OF REPORT: To consider the following: 1. The content of representations received after the Core Strategy was published in May 2012. 2. The next steps before submission to the Secretary of State. 3. Proposed minor changes to the document RECOMMENDATION: That the Working Party note the report and approve the submission of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies document, with suggested minor changes, to the Secretary of State 1.0 RESULTS OF THE CONSULTATION ON PUBLICATION OF THE PRE-SUBMISSION DRAFT OF THE CORE STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT POLICIES 1.1 As Members will recall, the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD was published on May 31 for a six week consultation period. The responses have now been analysed and the submission documents are on course to be ready to be sent to the Secretary of State (in fact, to the Planning Inspectorate) on the scheduled date of October 31. 1.2 The published DPD is the version which will be submitted to the Secretary of the State for examination. At this stage only the Inspector, not the Council, can change the document. However, the Council can suggest minor changes where objections or other representations have suggested valid improvements. It is not permissible for changes to be made at this stage which make significant alterations to the plan; any such change would require further public consultation, therefore causing considerable delay and some additional expense. The Planning Policy team propose to submit, in the schedule, 35 suggested changes.

The first volume of the Marriage Registers of Cumberland is now placed in the hands of the subscribers, and the Editors hope that it will be possible to continue this series until all the Registers of the County have been printed down to the year 1837, when civil registration began. These volumes are issued under the patronage of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archcsological Society, who have undertaken to subscribe for thirty copies of each volume—a subsidy which, it is hoped, will enable continuous and steady progress to be made with the work. It has not been thought needful to print the entries verbatim. They are reduced to a common form, and the following contractions have been freely used : w.=widower or widow. p.=of the parish of. co.=in the county of. dioc.=in the diocese of. /ic.= marriage licence. It must be borne in mind that the existing early Registers are themselves but transcripts, made under the order of Elizabeth in 1597, from the original paper Registers. The following general facts in the history of Parish Registers may be usefully noted : Thomas Cromwell, the Vicar General, issued the order for keeping Parish Registers on 29 Sept., 1538.

  • (Item 9) Application No. 2-06-1321 Winscales Moor Wind Farm
    RECOMMENDATION 1.1 To raise an objection to the proposal as it is contrary to Policy R44 due to its effects on the landscape character and Policy E37 as it is not compatible with the landscape capacity of the area. It would cause unacceptable harm to the landscape character both individually, and cumulatively with other wind energy schemes in the Workington area. 2 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The development site is located to the north east of Winscales, Workington. The land is reclaimed from opencast coal mining. 2.2 The scheme involves the construction of 7 wind turbines, 81m high to blade tip, each with capacity of 1.3 MW. This would provide a total maximum ‘installed capacity’ of up to 9.1MW. The total output could meet the electricity needs of around 4,000 households. It is likely the turbines would be painted in a semi matt grey in colour. 2.3 Access to the site is proposed along the minor road from the A595 to Stainburn, running along the south west edge of the site. 4.5m wide access tracks would connect with each turbine using, where possible, existing agricultural tracks. 2.4 The proposal also includes a single storey substation and control building, sited at the southern corner of the site, a 55m anemometer mast and crane hardstandings beside each turbine. 2.5 The scheme proposes to generate electricity for approximately 25 years. At that time a decision would be taken by the developer whether to decommission, refurbish or replace the turbines. If the turbines were to be replaced or refurbished they would be subject to a further planning application.
