Lake District National Park Partnership Plan Agenda Item No 07 PP87/10 Eden District Council Executive 7 December 2010 Lake District National Park Partnership Plan Reporting Officer: Director of Policy and Performance Responsible Portfolio: Economy 1 Purpose of Report 1.1 This report is presented to seek Executive endorsement of, „The Lake District National Park Partnership‟s Plan, a management plan for the Lake District National Park, 1010 – 2015‟. The Plan forms an important strategy for the National Park area and how partners will work cooperatively to achieve its purposes. 2 Recommendation: It is recommended that: a. The Executive considers and endorses „The Partnership Plan - a management plan for the Lake District National Park, 2010 – 2015‟. 3 Background 3.1 This Council is a member of the Lake District National Park Partnership. Councillor Malcolm Smith is the Council‟s appointed representative on the Partnership. Annex B of the attached Appendix (P81) describes the purpose of the partnership. The Partnership‟s Plan: The Management Plan for the Lake District National Park aims to co-ordinate partnership activity in the National Park for the next five years. 3.2 In 2006, the Partnership agreed a Vision for the National Park for 2030. The Partnership also agreed a need for an action plan to deliver the Vision for the National Park. The Partnership Plan also meets the Lake District National Park Authority‟s statutory requirement to produce a National Park Management Plan and review it within five years. The current National Park Management Plan was produced in 2004. 3.3 The Partnership‟s Plan is the Management Plan for the National Park - the most important document for a National Park. It tells everyone the direction, 1 what the issues are and how they are going to be tackled with limited public funding. 3.4 As the National Park‟s Management Plan, the Partnership‟s Plan: forms the over-arching strategy for the National Park during a period of significant financial pressure on the public sector; sets a Vision and outcomes which show how National Park purposes and the associated duty will be delivered; and establishes the framework for all policy and activity in the National Park, co-ordinating and integrating other plans strategies and actions, particularly for the Partnership. 3.5 In producing the Plan, the Partnership agreed that all partners, including the National Park Authority, have a vital role; all partners need to own the Plan and many of the actions in it. The Plan has been many months in preparation and partners have been consulted upon it and have considered the responses to consultation upon it. Councillor Smith responded to the consultation on behalf of the Council. 3.6 Plan Content Part One looks at what is going on in the National Park now. The Partnership has outlined its collective understanding of what are the special qualities of the National Park, updated to reflect World Heritage Site nomination. Part Two explains the vision, which forms the foundation of the plan. Within this section 24 delivery aims are identified, updated to take account of external drivers; these help structure the direction for the next five years of activity. Part Three describes actions on the ground, incorporating delivery actions of partners. Strategic activities describe the ambitions over the next five years and then detailed actions describe delivery in the first two to three years. Part Four explains how we will find out if the plan is delivering the outcomes. 3.7 The Plan, through its vision and ambition, has taken a very significant step forward in articulating the sustainable development requirements and opportunities of the National Park area and the actions of partners which will help address them. 3.8 The Plan has reached this stage at the time of significant change in national priorities, public spending, Local Government and the new agenda of Localism and Big Society. Partners will have to further consider the means of delivery and reporting of performance of the Plan in light of these changes. 3.9 The Plan requires the support of the constituent partners if it is to be meaningful in influencing the delivery and enabling of services and community benefits by the partners. The Plan places significant emphasis on the importance of a prosperous economy, vibrant communities, the environment and cultural heritage. There is clear synergy with the priorities of the Council. It will add value to the delivery of the Council‟s priorities as it describes and promotes a shared direction by local bodies. Importantly, it will be influential to 2 the role of the National Park Authority as Planning Authority in progressing the housing and employment development agendas. 4 Policy Framework 4.1 The Council has four corporate priorities which are: Affordable Housing Quality Environment Economic Vitality Quality Council Council on 7 February 2008 agreed fifteen strategic actions to achieve these priorities. 4.2 The activities in the Plan will contribute to the achievement of the first three outward focussed Corporate Plan Outcomes. 5 Implications 5.1 Legal 5.1.1 The National Park purposes are set out in section 5 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 (“ the 1949 Act”) and are: conserving and enhancing the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Park and; promoting opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the National Park. 5.1.2 The effect of section 11A of the 1949 Act is that the Council must have regard to the National Park Purposes when carrying out its functions within the National Park and if it appears that there is a conflict between those purposes, shall attach greater weight to the purpose of conserving and enhancing the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area comprised in the National Park. 5.2 Financial 5.2.1 As part of the 2008-11 corporate planning process the Council adopted a resource prioritisation process in which every area of council activity was allocated to one of four resource categories. These categories (which were agreed at Council on 7 February 2008) remain in force until the next corporate plan is adopted. 5.2.2 There are no direct financial implications from endorsing the plan. The plan recognises that delivery of its actions is dependent upon the availability of resources. 3 5.3 Equality and Diversity 5.3.1 The Council has to have regard to the elimination of unlawful discrimination and harassment and the promotion of equality under the Equality Act 2006 and related statutes. 5.3.2 Page 8 of the Plan describes that an Equalities Impact Assessment has been carried out by the National Park Authority‟s Joint Equalities Board. 5.4 Environmental 5.4.1 The Council has to have due regard to conserving bio-diversity under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006. 5.4.2 A sustainability impact assessment been carried out on the Plan (see page 8). This proposal is considered to have a positive impact on sustainability. 5.5 Crime and Disorder 5.5.1 Under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 the Council has to have regard to the need to reduce crime and disorder in exercising any of its functions. 5.5.2 None. 5.6 Children 5.6.1 Under the Children Act 2004 the Council has to have regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in the exercise of any of its functions. 5.6.2 None. 5.7 Risk Management 5.7.1 Risk Management is a process whereby attempts are made to identify, actively control and reduce risk to protect the Council. This covers not only the traditional areas of insurable risk but also the organisational risk that the Council faces in undertaking all its activities. 5.7.2 None. 6 Reasons for decision/recommendation 6.1 Endorsement of the Plan will enhance partnership working between the Council and the National Park Partnership for the benefit of the residents.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • Here Was Also the Lead up To, and Result of the American Presidential Election, Politicians in the UK Resigning, and Much Loved Personalities Dying
    Dec 2020 / St George, Castle Street, Kendal Jan 2021 www.kendalstgeorge.com From the Priest in Charge Another year is nearly over and what a year it has been. Perhaps remembered best as a year of uncertainty and surprise. Predominantly dominated by the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic and all the changes that has brought to our lives, but there was also the lead up to, and result of the American presidential election, politicians in the UK resigning, and much loved personalities dying. Every month seemed to bring about another earth shaking event in the world. Over 2000 years ago there was another earth shaking event, although very few people recognised it at the time. In fact, it was the best news the world has ever had. The Son of God coming to live among us, born to a young couple in a small town that no one thought important enough to have something important happen in it. Yet there an event occurred that changed life fundamentally. An event that was truly earth shaking as it played out over the next 30 years culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christmas is the time of year when we celebrate that fact. As we prepare for this event through the season of Advent, let us make a conscious effort to rejoice as did the shepherds on that first Christmas and share the good news with everyone we have contact with – albeit in a socially distanced way. The good news that God loves us and wants us to know him, is just as real today and transcends anything that is going on in the world.

  • Floods in Carlisle - January 2005
    Floods in Carlisle - January 2005 Heavy rainfall on Friday 7 January led to flooding in Carlisle on Saturday 8th January 2005. The rainfall was prolonged over the high ground of the nearby Lake District and Pennines, draining into the River Eden on which Carlisle is situated. Places in western Scotland and north Wales also recorded high rainfall amounts from this event because of similar conditions in a south-westerly airstream. Impacts Three people were killed, many homes and businesses were flooded and schools were closed. There was widespread transport disruption with all of Carlisle's buses damaged. Appleby, Cockermouth and Keswick also had flooding. This was the worst flood to affect Carlisle since 1822. The following are links to the BBC News website. Weather data On the 7th a westerly airstream affected the UK with a near stationary weather front across northern England and southern Scotland. A very deep depression then tracked eastwards across southern Scotland on the 8th. Details of the wind associated with this system are given January 2005 - stormy spells The highest rainfall (180.4 mm) was recorded at Rydal Hall, Cumbria and this is estimated as likely to occur less oen than once in 200 years. Many places had over 100 mm of rain in one day with several having a once in more than 30 years event. The synoptic situation at 12 GMT on Friday 7 January 2005.

    Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders.
