[This page has been left blank intentionally] Section A - Context [This page has been left blank intentionally] 1. Introduction and context This document is the ‘Preferred Option’ and is one of the stages of preparing a Local Plan for Sefton. The Local Plan will cover the period 2015-2030, and it will replace the Sefton Unitary Development Plan which was adopted in 2006. What is the Local Plan? The Local Plan is a statutory document which sets out the Borough’s planning policies and priorities. In 2011 we consulted on a number of Options for the future of Sefton. This was carried out under the banner of the Core Strategy. New regulations have given a different name to the development plan for an area. It is now known as the Local Plan. There have other major changes to the planning system since we consulted on the Options document. • The National Planning Policy Framework was introduced in 2012, replacing previous national policy statements and guidance. • The Localism Act (2011), which sets out the framework within which local people – Parish Councils and Neighbourhood Forums -can produce their own distinctive local and Neighbourhood Plans. • Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West was revoked on 20 May 2013. This means that its policies are no longer relevant in preparing a Local Plan for Sefton. The Local Plan sets out: • How we will provide for development to meet the needs of our communities; • The policy framework for making decisions on planning applications; • The strategic policy framework for Neighbourhood Plans; and • Priorities for investment in employment, housing and infrastructure. The Local Plan will help us to shape Sefton over the next 15 years – our towns and villages, coast and countryside, homes, jobs, services and leisure opportunities which give Sefton its distinctive character. There are a number of stages in preparing the Local Plan and these are set out in Figure 1 on the next page. The key things we have had to take into account in preparing this stage of the Local Plan are: • The National Planning Policy Framework and especially its emphasis on: o Allowing sustainable development o Taking account of objective evidence o Identifying, and then meeting, local needs • Other key Council strategies and those of partners (such as the Public Health strategy); • Comments from the public and other organisations received in earlier consultations. The National Planning Policy Framework makes it clear that “Sustainable development is about positive growth – making economic, environmental and social progress” (Ministerial Foreword), and has at its heart “a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which should be seen as a golden thread running through both plan-making and decision-taking” (paragraph 14). Figure 1 The Local Plan – stages of preparation Timescale Stage of Local Comments Plan Preparation 2008 - 2009 Issues Summer 2009 Public consultation on Information about this Issues consultation can be found on the Local Plan web-site. 2009 - 2012 Options More information, including about the Summer 2011 Public consultation on consultation and the Options Council’s initial responses, can be found on the Local Plan web- site. 2012 - 2013 Preferred Option We are now at this stage. This is the main Summer 2013 Consultation on opportunity to Preferred Option comment on the Document Local Plan. Publication The Council’s ability to make changes to the June – July 2014 Public consultation Local Plan is more (Notification) limited at this consultation stage, and must only relate to whether the Plan is considered to be ‘sound’. Submission August – September 2014 Formal submission to Submission to the the Secretary of State Secretary of State . Examination An independent Inspector will conduct November 2014 Examination in Public the Examination. March/ April Adoption Council formally adopts 2015 the Local Plan, which replaces the Unitary Development Plan (2006). What does the ‘Preferred Option’ contain? This document sets out: • a Vision and Objectives for Sefton; • the Preferred Option and also other Options which were considered but rejected; • the strategy to help implement the preferred option; • plans showing where land has been allocated for a particular use; and • detailed policies setting out our requirements for new development – including being clear about what will not be permitted. Commenting on the ‘Preferred Option’ : Consultation on the ‘Preferred Option’ is the main opportunity for you to comment on, and influence, the strategic direction, detailed policies and allocations of sites through the Local Plan. The Council will consider comments made and amend the Local Plan where it considers this to be appropriate. When commenting, if you disagree with a policy or part of a policy, you should set out what your alternative is. Other Local Plan Options which are not being taken forward The ‘Preferred Option’ is based on meeting identified needs across the Plan period. The proposed spatial strategy aims to meet these needs across Sefton. This is broadly similar to ‘Option 2’ which we put forward at the Options stage, although it has been updated in the light of recent evidence and is likely to need further updating in the future. We considered some other Options but have not chosen them as the Preferred Option mainly because of: • What the National Planning Policy Framework requires us to do;

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.

  • The Wirral Carrs and Holms
    The Wirral Carrs and Holms Stephen Harding University of Nottingham The Wirral peninsula in north-west England (Figure 1) was once home to a vibrant colony of Scandinavian settlers, many of whom were Norsemen expelled from Ireland. The arrival of one group, led by Ingimund in AD 902, has now been well described but there were others, including Danes (Cavill et al. 2000 & refs therein). The intensity of the settlement is borne out by the distribution of major or settlement names in Wirral, such as Arrowe, Caldy, Claughton, Gayton, Larton, Lingham, Mollington Torold, Ness, Neston, Storeton, Thingwall, Thurstaston, Tranmere, the -by names (Frankby, Greasby, Helsby, Irby, Kirkby in Wallasey, Pensby, Raby, West Kirby, Whitby and the now lost Haby, Hesby/Eskeby, Warmby, Kiln Walby, Stromby and Syllaby) and the Norse-Irish Liscard and Noctorum. Some further settlement names, such as Birkenhead, Heswall and Woodchurch, are of Anglian origin but were influenced by the incoming Norsemen. The intensity of settlement can, however, perhaps best be gauged from the minor or field names. The distinguished antiquarian, F.T. Wainwright, stated the following in 1943 (repr. Cavill et al. 2000: 98): It is known that during the early part of the tenth century there occurred a large scale Norse immigration into Wirral. How heavy was this influx is illustrated by the field-names which, even in their modern forms, preserve ample proof of the intensity of the Scandinavian settlement. Outstanding examples are brekka ‘slope, hillside’ (e.g. The Breck SJ 297917, Flaybrick SJ 293895, Wimbricks SJ 247879 and the Newton Breken SJ 238875), slakki ‘shallow valley’ or ‘hollow’ (e.g.

  • Local Plan for Sefton April 2017
    Local Plan for Sefton April 2017 FOREWORD TO THE SEFTON LOCAL PLAN Sefton is a diverse borough that contains towns and villages with distinct identities and communities. Sefton is also home to areas of open countryside and a coastal area that helps make Sefton an attractive location where people choose to live, work and visit. Whilst Sefton’s varied character and landscape is its strength, it also provides challenges in planning for its future growth. The Council has worked to address these during the preparation of the Sefton Local Plan. The key challenge we have faced is how we best meet our economic and social needs whilst protecting our natural and built environment, much of which is nationally and internationally protected and is highly valued by residents and visitors. The Local Plan sets out how we will meet our future housing and employment needs to 2030. Sites have been identified through a thorough and rigorous process, with an emphasis on identifying sites within the urban area as far as possible. We have also sought to meet needs as close as possible to where they are arise, taking account of the many constraints that affect where development can take place. This approach was endorsed by the Inspector who examined the Local Plan. Some of the decisions we have had to make have not been easy and getting to this stage has been long and sometimes contentious. However, the Council believes the Local Plan for Sefton provides a framework for the Borough to grow in a positive and balanced way so that everyone will have the opportunity to live a successful, active and valued life.

  • Carr Houses Advisory Leaflet
    Metropolitan Borough of Sefton Advisory Leaflet Carr Houses Conservation Area Architectural and Historic Significance Carr Houses is a small hamlet to the north east of Following the Norman Conquest, Ince Blundell was Ince Blundell Park. ‘Carr’ is an Old Norse word, held by the Barony of Warrington, later passing to meaning copse on boggy land, so called, probably the Blundell family in 1195. The Blundells retained because of its proximity to the River Alt. From an interest in the land from the medieval period until around 1100, each medieval hamlet would have the 1960s. been surrounded by townfields divided into furlongs for agricultural use, with riverside carrs and marshes Field names reveal something of the history of an most likely to flood, used as meadow or common area, the earliest recognisable reference to pasture. individual fields around Carr Houses, show the names generally have a Norse influence for Carr Houses has had a connection with Ince example, ‘Carceld’ and ‘Wranglands’. Later Blundell for many centuries, the name Ince recorded fieldnames include Clover Hey, Gorseland Hey, in the Domesday Book as ‘Hinne’ and then at Meadow Hey, Green Carrs and Black Carrs. Some around 1100, as ‘Ynes’, a Celtic derivation similar to field names can be traced, including ‘Long Shoot’, ‘ynys’ meaning island. The Celtic name may refer to which is postulated as the site of archery practice the fact that Ince Blundell is situated on higher enforced by law in the middle ages.

  • The Wife of Edmund Culshaw (1782–1811), a Scarisbrick Yeoman
    1 MASSAM of ALTCAR The most recent Massam with whom we are concerned is Catherine Massam (1783–1828), the wife of Edmund Culshaw (1782–1811), a Scarisbrick yeoman. Both families seem to have been Roman catholic recusants from an early period.1 Catherine was a daughter of John Massam (1752–1817) and his wife Anne Formby (died 1792). Catherine and Edmund Culshaw were married at Scarisbrick Roman catholic chapel on 24 August 1806 (with the necessary legal ratification of the marriage next day at Ormskirk parish church). The witnesses were William Oliverson (Edmund’s brother-in-law) and Margaret Massam (probably Catherine’s sister). Origins Around Altcar Our Massam family are first found in and around the south-west Lancashire coastal parish of Altcar, although it has been suggested that the name is a locative one, deriving from Masham in the North Riding of Yorkshire.2 Altcar means simply ‘the carr’ (marshland) ‘beside the [river] Alt’. Its flat, low-lying land was drained by ‘numberless ditches’ into a main sluice and the water pumped by a windmill (and later a steam engine) into the Alt. The soil is light and mossy, producing much inferior hay, together with corn and root crops. There was much flooding in winter, requiring protective flood gates on the river. There was much use of boats inland and stepping stones were needed in winter to pass between cottages. Large amounts of oak and poplar have been found buried in the moss lands and carrs. Bordered on the south by the river Alt and the parish of Sefton, on the west by the township of Formby (a detached part of Walton) and on the north and east by the Halsall townships of Downholland, Lydiate and Maghull, Altcar comprises 4078 acres.
