A proportion of this has been allocated to conducting a community consultation exercise. This report presents the findings of this consultation to date. The specific aims of the consultation are to: 1. Enable all Brampton residents to have their say on local renewable energy generation; 2. Determine the level of support for community renewable energy generation in principle; 3. Identify particular concerns over each of the potential technologies, and which technologies people are happy to have locally; 4. Identify which community benefits people would like to see coming from any income generated; and 5. Recruit potential volunteers and investors in any future scheme. The outcomes of the community consultation exercise will be considered, together with the findings of the initial feasibility study, to determine which, if any, of the technologies BABE will pursue. Methodology The central plank of the consultation has been a questionnaire, which was distributed through door- to-door canvassing, with volunteers knocking on each door to speak to all householders who answered. This was accompanied by a technology information sheet. The aim was to deliver to all residents within the town of Brampton. The questionnaire was also promoted via community websites, press releases and posters in the local area. Responses were input to the ‘Have your Say’ consultation website, and downloaded in Excel format to enable analysis. Closed questions were analysed by calculating the number of responses given by each answer, while answers to open text questions were categorised into themes, and the number of responses under each theme calculated. It is proposed that some follow-up consultation (possibly an event and/or a further round of door- to-door deliveries) be carried out to communicate the findings of the initial feasibility study and consultation exercise to the Brampton community, once they have been externally evaluated and signed-off by WRAP. Results and key findings Overview Questionnaires were hand delivered by volunteers to 1,965 of the 2,180 homes in Brampton town. A total of 246 responses were received on the doorstep, representing a 13% response rate. A further 16 responses were received as a result of wider promotional activities. Technology options The responses indicated the following: 2 The technology most respondents were familiar with was solar (93% of respondents) followed by wind (84%), hydro (61%), biomass (44%), anaerobic digestion (37%) and geothermal (36%). There is overwhelming support for local renewable energy generation in principle, with 93% of respondents saying they support the idea, compared with 6% who don’t. ‘Cheaper energy’ and ‘reduction in carbon emissions’ are the benefits that respondents considered most important, with ‘greater local control of energy supply’ and ‘greater community cooperation’ considered least important. ‘Reducing fuel poverty’ fell in the middle. The overwhelming majority of respondents considered all these benefits to be either ‘very important’ or ‘fairly important’. Respondent’s principle concerns about each technology were: o Solar: a perceived visual impact (though cited by only 20 respondents). o Hydropower: potential harm to wildlife and the environment (9 respondents) o Wind turbines: visual impact (52 respondents – 20%) and noise (39 respondents – 15%) o AD: perceived smell from the plant (65 respondents - 25%). o Geothermal: scepticism over its cost-effectiveness (12 respondents) and a lack of knowledge about the technology (9 respondents) o Biomass: smell and fuel source (23 respondents each – 9%) Solar is the technology that most respondents would be happy to have close to their home (67% of respondents). A further 18% would be happy to have it in the wider Brampton area (85% in total). AD was the technology that fewest of the respondents were happy to have close to their home (11%), but a further 45% said they would be happy to have it in the wider Brampton area (56% in total). 67%, 63%, 58% and 56% of respondents respectively would be happy to have hydro, wind, geothermal and biomass either close to their homes or in the wider Brampton area. Community benefits The responses indicated the following: When asked which of the list of benefits they would like to see from any income generated by the scheme, ‘rural community transport support’ and ‘community Centre improvements and equipment’ were the most popular, followed by

The Questionnaire Report 5. Appendices 6. Acknowledgements 7. The Action Plan 1 1 Irthington Parish Council Community Plan Report 2011 1. Summary During 2010, and the early months of 2011, Irthington Parish council has carried out a wide consultation exercise to seek the views of its parishioners. The concerns and desires expressed have been drawn together into an action plan, which is presented in this report. While many of the proposed actions will require co-operation and/or funding from other bodies we feel that this forms a viable basis for long term planning of the actions of the Parish Council. Given the current financial climate, it is recognised that this programme may well be rather more extended than we would have liked, but it will remain our aim to achieve these targets over the next five years. 2 2 2. Introduction • Location Irthington Parish is located in the Carlisle City Council district of Cumbria and is bounded by the parishes of Brampton, Walton, Hethersgill, Scaleby, Stanwix Rural and Hayton. • Background In 2005, Irthington Parish Council took part in the development of a Joint Parish Plan with a group of eight parishes centred on Brampton. This Joint Action Plan had largely been completed by 2009, so the group began meeting again to develop a new plan. However, for various reasons, several parishes left the group until the remaining members ceased to be a meaningful grouping.
