  • Supplementary Information
    Heritage Team 4th Floor 100 Parliament Street London SW1A 2BQ T: 020 7211 2018 [email protected] www.gov.uk/dcms 11 November 2016 Dear Ms Bourdin, Thank you for your letter of 17 October requesting further information regarding the nomination of the English Lake District for World Heritage inscription. You have asked for further details concerning proposals for development in the English Lake District and we feel that it would be helpful to preface our response with some explanation of the planning functions and powers of the Lake District National Park Authority, which is the planning authority for the whole of the candidate English Lake District World Heritage site. The English Lake District is an outstanding cultural landscape that has evolved over a long period of time and needs to continue evolving to sustain its future. We have a vibrant community of some 42,000 residents and an economy that is sustained by the key activities of upland hill farming and tourism. These activities inevitably need to develop in order to sustain the local economy and along with other requirements of the Lake District community, they generate planning applications which are determined by the Lake District National Park Authority. UK National Parks have the highest level of planning protection in the UK and the framework for our decision-making is outlined below. BACKGROUND TO THE PLANNING FUNCTION OF UK NATIONAL PARKS UK National Parks were established under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, and amended by the Environment Act 1995, to: conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage (of the National Parks); and promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities (of the National Parks) by the public.

  • Notes on the Geology of the English Lake District
    449 NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT. By]. E. MARR, M.A., F.R.S. (Rlad July 6tlr, I,OO.) A.-INTRODUCTION. HE Council of your Association has done me the honour of T inviting me to act as Director of an excursion to Lakeland in the course of the summer. In these circumstances, as I have been engaged in studying the geology of the district for many years, and have arrived at certain conclusions which have not hitherto been published, I may be pardoned if I incorporate among notes which may serve to give some idea of the general structure of the district, a summary of such conclusions; especially as, in my opinion, a knowledge of them is requisite to a right understanding of the actual structure. For several seasons I have had the pleasure of working in Cumbria with my colleague, Mr. Alfred Harker. Many of the facts and conclusions recorded in this paper are the result of this joint work, and my colleague shares with me the credit for any records which may be of value. I shall endeavour in the paper to point out clearly such portions as must be regarded as the joint work of Mr. Harker and myself. I have obtained his permission to give this brief preliminary outline of the results of our work, and should any errors be found therein I ask that I alone may be considered responsible for them. It is well-known that the heart of Lakeland is composed of Lower Palseozoic rocks, and that around these is a girdle of later deposits of Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic ages.
