We care about our community, so it is important that we recognise the challenges that the future holds, and that we plan for those changes. We live in an age where rapid advances in technology are changing how we communicate, the way we shop, where and how we work and the life choices we make. We are living longer too; and have higher expectations for a future where we expect to enjoy good health and greater prosperity. We must direct future growth to the right locations and carefully manage regeneration activity. We need to provide guidance so that new development benefits those people who live and work in our towns and villages, whilst continuing to protect and enhance those assets that make the area both attractive and locally distinctive. In doing so we must carefully consider the social, economic and environmental impacts of our actions. Only in this way can we hope to realise our vision of making Pendle a better place to live, work, learn, play and visit. The Core Strategy will work alongside Our Pendle, Our Future: Pendle’s Sustainable Community Strategy, to help us shape the future of Pendle, by addressing issues that are important to our locality as well as matters of wider concern such as climate change. The policies in the Core Strategy have been influenced by the evidence available to us.

  • United Utilities Report on the Flooding of 22Nd / 23Rd November 2017 Date : August 2018
    United Utilities Report on the flooding of 22nd / 23rd November 2017 Date : August 2018 Page | 1 1.0 Background to the flooding Event 22nd – 23rd November 2017 Rainfall There had been considerable rainfall, leading up to the significant rainfall on the Wednesday evening, which ultimately led to the flooding in the north Blackpool and Wyre areas. The weather front first hit the Fylde coast, but also spread northwards with similar rainfall also being experienced in the Lancaster patch, to the north of the Blackpool / Fleetwood area. In order to understand the extent of the rainfall, there is a need to look at a 48 hour period from Tuesday 21st November through to the early hours of Thursday 23rd November 2018. A rainfall event that took until Sunday 26th November, to drain down both the main Fylde Tunnel system, and the local watercourse systems on the northern Fylde Coast Peninsula. Analysis of local raingauge information highlighted that the the greatest amount of rainfall, fell over the northwestern Blackpool / Wyre area, with a slightly lower rainfall event in the southern areas of Blackpool. The Fleetwood raingauge information proved to be the most representative of the impact upon these northern Fylde Coast area. Rainfall Intensity 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 (mm/hr) Intensity Rainfall 5 0 20/11/2017… 20/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 21/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 22/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 23/11/2017… 24/11/2017… RG01 RG03 RG04 Date / Time Figure 1.0 : RG04 Fleetwood raingauge, RG03 Poulton raingauge, RG01 Airport raingauge Modelling reviews of the rainfall that fell, highlighted that the volume that fell, in the 48 hour period was equivalent to a 1 in 64 year rainfall event.

The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout. A project was initiated by the Fisheries Science and Management Team of Central Area, NW Region in liason with the Flood Defence function. The main objective of this project was to assess redd count data for Central Area and attempt to quantify these data in order to produce a grading system that would highlight key salmonid spawning areas. By showing which were the main areas for salmon and sea trout spawning, better informed decisions could be made on whether or not in-stream Flood Defence works should be given the go-ahead. The main salmonid catchments in Central Area were broken into individual reaches, approximately 1 km in length. The number of redds in these individual reaches were then calculated and a density per lkm value was obtained for each reach. A grading system was devised which involved looking at the range of density per km values and dividing this by five to produce 5 classes, A - E.
