Or by post to 22 Beaumont Place, Lancaster LA1 2EY. Phone 01524 69248. Please note that for records to be included in the annual report, the deadline is the end of February. Late records will still be used for the database, but once the report is written, I’m not going to update or rewrite on the basis of late records. The report is also going to have to be written earlier in the year, in February, as I’m full on with work in March/April and I just can’t do it! Greater Manchester These records should only go to Peter Hardy, 28 Hyde Grove, Sale, M33 7TE, email [email protected] - not to Laura Sivell. Some people have been sending their records to both, leading to a fair amount of wasted time in sorting out the duplicate records. Likewise Lancashire and Merseyside records should only go to Laura.

Hours of work, and there’s always mistakes; it’s just not worth it. Huge thanks to all of you though. Record Validation Some records received through the Big Butterfly Count and the iRecord app have not been accepted. These were Common Blue and Small Copper where aerial photographs of the grid reference given showed no apparently suitable habitat in the area, and where the recorder was unknown. The records may have been correct, but better to err on the side of caution. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 % 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 % Small Skipper 115 71 63 87 86 17 96 106 135 225 225 29 Large Skipper 112 78 51 80 99 19.6 119 94 124 213 206 26.6 Dingy Skipper 9 8 8 8 8 10 10 8 10 7 0.9 Clouded Yellow 65 2 1 15 3 5 0 3 16 5 0.6 Brimstone 60 60 46 47 45 8.91 67 40 61 133 129 16.6 Large White 207 194 200 280 173 34.3 179 166 284 355 325 41.9 Small White 207 181 158 216 190 37.6 197 179 314 430 350 45.2 Green-veined White 183 160 138 203 221 43.8 227 199 254 385 269 34.7 Orange Tip 169 171 115 138 147 29.1 211 154 166 237 192 24.8 Green Hairstreak 46 31 27 26 28 4.15 36 18 23 35 30 3.8 Purple Hairstreak 29 12 15 19 23 30 17 18 24 19 2.4 White-letter Hairstreak 22 11 7 13 27 28 21 30 71 86 11.1 Small Copper 126 79 46 69 128 25.3 115 80 121 191 125 16.1 Northern Brown Argus 8 8 8 5 6 7 7 5 7 7 0.9 Common Blue 114 77 53 75 114 22.6 96 77 108 170 143 18.4 Holly Blue 130 108 124 67 76 15 94 100 46 122 138 17.8 Duke of Burgundy 2 2 2 2 2 3 2 1 2 3 0.3 Red Admiral 282 153 136 239 178 224 125 194 438 373 48.1 Painted Lady 207 118 20 305 62 39 24 65 116 209 27 Small Tortoiseshell 268 250 137 209 273 54.1 288 299 249 500 460 59.4 Peacock 269 262 156 241 256 50.7 249 258 310 536 379 48.9 Comma 180 139 119 165 153 30.3 165 135 193 264 279 36 Small Pearl-bordered 6 10 8 6 6 7 6 4 6 6 0.7 Pearl-bordered Fritillary 4 4 6 4 3 5 5 4 3 5 0.6 High Brown Fritillary 10 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 4 4 0.5 Dark Green Fritillary 16 8 8 17 11 12 9 18 12 14 1.8 Speckled Wood 286 258 221 263 257 50.9 257 220 241 457 410 52.9 Wall 101 48 32 49 48 9.5 22 33 35 66 38 4.9 Scotch Argus 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 2 1 0.1 Grayling 13 11 9 15 11 2.17 11 17 16 13 13 1.6 Gatekeeper 117 103 83 97 127 25.1 128 129 158 301 331 42.7 Meadow Brown 243 178 156 208 204 40.4 206 193 248 396 417 53.8 Ringlet 1 9 12 12 9 1.78 14 18 48 108 134 17.3 Small Heath 55 44 34 42 58 10.5 48 42 52 94 73 9.4 Large Heath 2 4 2 2 3 7 3 2 3 3 0.3 Total recorded squares 554 487 399 529 505 479 476 554 794 774 3 High Counts table Highest counts 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Small Skipper 190 155 100 41 12 60 54 200 97 150 500 218 220 Large Skipper 30 20 40 50 20 28 33 70 57 25 190 85 80 Dingy Skipper 10 15 11 6 8 10 34 29 29 22 34 35 22 Clouded Yellow 1 1 4 12 2 1 3 3 1 1 6 1 Brimstone 41 12 19 29 31 30 16 36 16 5 21 22 21 Large White 30 50 130 303 50 100 85 200 18 50 300 100 15 Small White 35 50 23 50 280 30 120 32 150 52 130 100 42 Green-veined White 200 50 70 45 30 254 155 100 119 100 229 113 60 Orange Tip 12 23 20 20 20 12 14 20 20 55 22 100+ 20 Green Hairstreak 651 48 70 130 66 100+ 38 92 463 55 12 68 25 Purple Hairstreak 8 24 25 50 7 57 67 49 42 11 16 59 20 White-letter Hairstreak 3 1 10 9 5 3 4 10 3 3 16 10 7 Small Copper 15 41 22 23 16 23 24 42 18 150 45 84 56 Northern Brown Argus 46 8 22 32 7 17 49 47 103 24 34 26 16 Common Blue 256 97 150 216 113 88 281 182 250 293 200 268 164 Holly Blue 8 19 6 8 8 8 30 14 5 4 7 14 6 Duke of Burgundy 10 8 4 7 9 5 6 12 15 4 12 7 6 Red Admiral 153 37 75 86 16 46 81 25 50 15 28 100 95 Painted Lady 120 28 3 83 20 1 1000+ 7 20 5 6 20 9 Small Tortoiseshell 141 105 66 1700 31 24 39 287 120 60 280 100 162 Peacock 56 71 58 144 75 49 76 104 71 72 500 50 33 Comma 30 13 7 40 20 6 15 10 14 8 11 15 19 Small Pearl-bordered 38 10 10 11 9 15 24 29 34 33 49 50 13 Pearl-bordered Fritillary 40 40 34 28 34 22 12 25 38 22 13 20 12 High Brown Fritillary 67 38 35 80 10 119 67 52 16 17 6 3 Dark Green Fritillary 6 20 134 14 83 50 88 70 54 293 10 46 36 Speckled Wood 201 67 233 104 72 47 108 65 66 90 50 115 68 Wall 25 60 34 25 5 16 20 11 5 7 17 47 25 Scotch Argus 161 304 188 66 134 199 158 221 38 61 Grayling 100 14 37 81 12 84 108 105 206 98 200 28 26 Gatekeeper 250 136 100 400 62 79 100 205 137 900 300 225 227 Meadow Brown 225 181 194 500 100 295 433 143 425 300 600 474 381 Ringlet 0 1 1 1 25 12 100 50 250 100 248 348 219 Small Heath 15 54 50 37 30 37 59 70 150 75 67 120 80 Large Heath 90 63 28 143 9 5 48 53 20 33 21 18 19 The 2015 Butterfly Season 2015 was a poor year with the cold, late spring followed by a cool and dull summer with above average rainfall in June and an unsettled July and August with a series of westerly weather systems following each other - apparently due to a strong El Nino which resulted in the jet stream being further south than usual in summer.

  • High Park, Cowan Bridge, Lancashire

    High Park, Cowan Bridge, Lancashire

    ry HIGH PARK, COWAN BRIDGBO LANCASHIRE Peter lles Over the summer of 1997 the Royal Commission on the Historic Monu:nents of England carried out an analyticai field survey of the archaeology of High Park, above Cowan Bridge, Lancashire. The site lies in the very north-east of the county bordering both Cumbria and Yorkshire, on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The survey was undertaken at the request of Lancashire County Council, in order to identiff and record the surviving, visible, above ground archaeology of the area. Before the present investigations started, what was previously known of the archaeology of this area was derived chiefly from a survey conducted by R.A.C. Lowndes between 1960-l (Lowndes 1963). Lowndes identified five large Bronze Age burial mounds or tumuli (labelled TI to T5 on his accompanying plan), plus six settlement complexes (abelled A to F) sr.urounded by a system of 'Celtic' fields. On the evidence of pottery recovered from a small excavation of one of the settlements (Lowndes 1964) he suggested these and the fields were all Romano British in date. The RCHME survey has shown that the landscape is in fact much more complex and extensive than previously thought. It is now possible to say that humans have been living on and farming these hill sides - rather than simply burying their dead here - since the Bronze Age. Much of this activity, particularly on the lower slopes, has been masked or destroyed by later activity, but a type of field pattern typical of the later Bronze Age does sunrive in the north-east of the survey area, characterised by a mosaic of small plots and fields cleared out of stony ground, with the stone deposited into small caims or piled along plot edges.

The brief sought the preparation of strategic guidance on the sensitivity of Lancashire’s landscapes to wind energy developments. This complies with the requirements of ‘Planning Policy Statement’ 22 (PPS 22) which advocates criteria based policies to identify broad areas at the regional/sub-regional level where development of particular types of renewable energy may be appropriate. The context for this study is set by various Central and Regional Government documents that set targets for energy generation from renewable sources. 1.2 This study addresses landscape parameters only and excludes consideration of other issues (e.g. impacts on ecology, hydrological regimes, soil resources, grid connections etc) which also merit careful consideration when seeking to locate wind energy developments.
  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Leck Fell

    This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Leck Fell

    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Leck Fell Starting point and OS Grid reference St. Peter’s Church car park, Leck – honesty box (SD 643766) Ordnance Survey map OL2 Yorkshire Dales – Southern and Western Distance 6 miles Date of Walk 31 october 2018 Traffic light rating Introduction: This Leck Fell walk feels like it should be in the Yorkshire Dales because of the limestone scenery but it is in fact in Lancashire. It is a bleak, treeless but peaceful area of high moorland and you are unlikely to meet any/many other walkers. Below your feet is an extensive network of potholes. The route passes one large, fenced off pothole, Gavel Pot but there is no access without a permit and definitely no access unless you know what you are doing and have the right equipment! Much of the walk utilises Access Land where you are free to wander but be careful of any unfenced potholes! Leck Beck and Ease Gill run through the fell and provide some attractive and dramatic views. This route only provides glimpses of Ease Gill’s potential in particular and I hope to return to explore more extensively in the future. There is one steepish climb of about half a mile, which is why the walk earns an amber section but the compensation is that the last two miles, whilst on a tarmac lane/road are all downhill and there are some lovely views on the way. This being a moorland walk, there can be wet sections and gaiters are recommended. The walk starts from the large car park by St Peters Church in Leck.

Conclusion 10 Appendix 1 – Housing Land Supply Methodology 12 Appendix 2 – Five-year housing land supply trajectory 28 Appendix 3 – Schedule of Site Delivery 29 Appendix 4 – Small Site Commitment 59 June 2014 2 1. Introduction 1.1 This statement has been prepared, and should be read in conjunction, with the 2020 Housing Land Monitoring Report (HLMR). The statement describes the council’s five-year housing land supply position as of the 1st April 2020. The statement has been prepared in line with national planning policy and guidance and reports delivery against the now adopted housing requirement for the district, adopted by the Council on the 29th July 2020. 1.2 The statement has been prepared in line with the appended Lancaster District Housing Land Supply Methodology (appendix 1). This was prepared following discussions and engagement with representatives from the housing industry in April 2020. 1.3 The statement is supported by a detailed housing trajectory (appendix 2) setting out the sites where the council anticipates delivery and the expected rate of completions envisaged on each site. Further information on these sites is provided in a schedule of delivery (appendix 3). This provides a detailed breakdown of the supply and the evidence that has informed inclusion within the trajectory. 1.4 The delivery projections of sites is based on the evidence base collected and assessed by the Council which includes the conclusions of the council’s Strategic Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA), the Local Plan evidence base, a review of planning applications and discussions with development management colleagues and importantly information provided from developers and agents on individual site delivery.
