........................................................ 63 Introduction AECOM Lancaster and District Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2 Capabilities on project: Transportation 1 Introduction AECOM has been commissioned to produce an Infrastructure Delivery Plan for Lancaster District covering the period 2012 to 2021 (the end of the current Core Strategy). The document provides details of the transport and utility infrastructure requirements of the district that have been identified as being essential to the delivery of future growth, particularly in relation to housing, the delivery of which remains challenging due to existing economic conditions. In particular, the document identifies infrastructure schemes essential to the delivery of development around the borough, and particularly within the strategic land allocation areas, which may be delivered using the Community Infrastructure Levy funding source – a new levy on developers to complement and, in places, supersede Section 106 and 278 agreements which may be used to fund infrastructure projects of benefit to the community in general. Lancaster has three Strategic Land Allocation sites all of which, for deliverability reasons, are located on greenfield land adjacent to the city of Lancaster itself. These are Grab Lane to the east of Lancaster city centre on land bounded on the east by the M6 motorway; Bailrigg to the south of Lancaster and to the east of the A6 north of the University, and Whinney Carr opposite Bailrigg on the western side of the A6. This report reviews and examines existing documents and local knowledge relating to these sites in order to identify the shortfalls in terms of existing transport and utility infrastructure, and the corresponding requirements in order to ensure that the Council’s aspirations for development can be realised. The identified long-list of required schemes is also broadly costed to evaluate the likely quantum of resources that will be needed in order to be realised. This report does not focus in any detail on other forms of infrastructure such as that related to Community or Green Space projects, however it is recognised that it will be important for the City Council (in correspondence with Lancashire County Council) to review the need for these. That review will, by necessity, need to include detail on funding sources and make recommendations on the viability of CIL as opposed to S106 contributions to contribute funding. Although specific Community or Green infrastructure

    ‘Clearing the Air’ The Air Quality Strategy for Lancaster district 2013 Prepared by PJ Cartmell, Air Quality Officer, Environmental Health Services ‘Clearing the Air’ – The Air Quality Strategy for Lancaster district Publication no. EHS-2013-02 Version 1.0 (final) November 2013 Approved Acknowledgements Thanks to the following for their help in the production of this document:- Dr Clare Beattie, Air Quality Consultants Ltd, Bristol Dr Thomas Keegan, Health & Medicine, Lancaster University Dr Duncan Whyatt Senior Lecturer in GIS, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University Stella Walton, Principal Engineer Strategic Highways & Planning, Lancashire County Council Nick Howard – Environmental Health Manger, Lancaster City Council Environmental Protection Team – Lancaster City Council Defra Air Quality Helpdesk 2 ‘Clearing the Air’ – The Air Quality Strategy for Lancaster district ‘Clearing the Air’ – Executive Summary Air pollution arising from vehicle emissions in Lancaster remains a health concern and there are no clear indications that the situation is improving. Levels or nitrogen dioxide are measured above acceptable concentrations and levels of particulate pollution are significantly elevated and of particular concern. Past action plans have had some success however their impact has been insufficient to resolve the situation. Research continues to be carried out to better understand the health impact of air pollution. Currently the national impact in terms of deaths caused is estimated (See Chapter 1 Part 1) to be similar to that for obesity and significantly greater than that attributed to alcohol and environmental tobacco smoke (passive smoking) prior to smoking restrictions. It is arguably the most significant outstanding environmental issue which has a day to day direct impact on public health.

  • 45-On the Road in the Lancaster Area
    ON THE ROAD IN THE LANCASTER AREA Lancaster Civic Society leaflet 45 Probably few people think of roads as ‘interesting’. Useful and sometimes congested, certainly; pleasurable or tricky to drive along, perhaps. Yet there are some roads in the Lancaster area that do have unexpectedly interesting histories and features. Tidal roads There are two roads in the Lancaster area that are tidal – the B5273 from Oxcliffe to Middleton and Overton, and the C road from Overton to Sunderland Point. They both follow closely the right (west) bank of the River Lune as it heads out into the Irish Sea. In places, the roads cross saltmarshes whose creeks are flooded at most high tides and even the marsh surface at spring high tides. The tidal range in the lower Lune is considerable for an estuary, reflecting the wide tidal range in Morecambe Bay. There are road signs warning drivers of the danger and when not to attempt to drive these roads. Up to the nineteenth century the most important local tidal road was the regular stage- coach route directly cross Morecambe Bay from Lancaster to Ulverston. The modern round-the-Bay roads and railway have made this very dangerous, across-the-Bay route redundant. The route is still used today for cross-Bay walks led by the Queen’s Guide. From Sunderland Point across the marshes New roads to open up Morecambe The development of Morecambe required now roads to service housing expansion and to ease access by car to the expanding eastern areas of the resort. One such road was Broadway, opened in 1923 and now part of the A589.

  • North West Spring Local Waterway Forum 2015 Notes
    NORTH WEST SPRING LOCAL WATERWAY FORUM 2015 NOTES Lancaster Canal: 4 March 2015 at 18:30 Barton Village Hall | 844 Garstang Rd | Barton, Preston BWML Update - D Bramhall Darren provided an update of BWML projects on the Lancaster Canal and Glasson. Q&A Q. Can the moorings on the towpath opp. Galgate marina be re-instated? A. These moorings were removed about ten years ago so that boats in the marina could turn. They will not be re-instated. The new moorings have been created with sufficient turning space so that no further requests for removal of moorings need to be made to CRT. Q. What is happening with the CRT customer access to Galgate facilities? A. There is an annual fee of £25 for a key to access the services. A new key has not been required for the past three years. However, it is the plan that this will be renewed every year. Winter Works – Steve Bergquist provided update on winter works: Heysham – Milestone Bridge The Heysham to M6 Link Road is one of Lancashire's top priority transport projects. The new road will complete the long awaited connection from the Heysham and Morecambe peninsula to Junction 34 of the M6, and will be a 4.8km dual carriageway with a footpath and cycle way along the entire route. The cost of the overall scheme was estimated at £128 million but this is likely to rise to £150 million. Milestone Bridge was given this name as there was a milestone post where the bridge was to be built.
