East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 1
Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE EAST LINDSEY LOCAL PLAN ALTERATION 1999 The Local Plan has the following main aims:- x to translate the broad policies of the Structure Plan into specific planning policies and proposals relevant to the East Lindsey District. It will show these on a Proposals Map with inset maps as necessary x to make policies against which all planning applications will be judged; x to direct and control the development and use of land; (to control development so that it is in the best interests of the public and the environment and also to highlight and promote the type of development which would benefit the District from a social, economic or environmental point of view. In particular, the Plan aims to emphasise the economic growth potential of the District); and x to bring local planning issues to the public's attention. East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Page The Aims of the Plan 3 How The Policies Have Been Formed 4 The Format of the Plan 5 The Monitoring, Review and Implementation of the Plan 5 East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 2 INTRODUCTION TO THE EAST LINDSEY LOCAL PLAN 1.1. The East Lindsey Local Plan is the first statutory Local Plan to cover the whole of the District. It has updated, and takes over from all previous formal and informal Local Plans, Village Plans and Village Development Guidelines. It complements the Lincolnshire County Structure Plan but differs from it in quite a significant way. The Structure Plan deals with broad strategic issues and its generally-worded policies do not relate to particular sites.

The Origin and Geomorphological Context of the Kirkby Moor Sands In
The origin and geomorphological context of the Kirkby Moor Sands in Lincolnshire Allan Straw Abstract: The Kirkby Moor Sands consist of fluvial sands and gravels situated on higher ground in the angle between the Witham and Bain valleys, east of Woodhall Spa in central Lincolnshire. Older and higher than terraces associated with proto-Trent waters flowing southeast from the Lincoln gap, they rest on Wragby Till (MOIS 8). Composed of sediments derived from outcrops upstream in the Bain valley and related to the Hemingby Terrace, their possible origins as a lacustrine delta, as an aeolian sand sheet or as a sandur are discounted. It is argued that they were emplaced by a meltwater precursor of the River Bain during a deglacial stage in the later MOIS 8, and formerly extended more widely southwest onto residual ice melting back into central Lincolnshire. The Kirkby Moor Sands comprise a dissected sheet of the Humber and Wash gaps then flooding of such a large sediment that originally covered at least 14.2 km² of area might well occur, with a lake-level at 100 feet relatively high ground east of Woodhall Spa [TF196632; (30m) OD, possibly controlled by the Lopham gap in Fig. 1]. Designated the Kirkby Moor Member in the Norfolk. Raistrick’s view held sway for several decades Geological Society’s Quaternary correlation report, and was still current when the writer commenced they were placed with other proto-Trent Members in fieldwork in the early 1950’s. In north Norfolk, deposits MOIS 12 (Bowen et al, 1999). Presently disposed in and landforms associated with a southerly advance of three main outcrops, separated by the Bain valley in Devensian ice were mapped to an upper limit of c.30m the east and a narrower valley occupied by what is OD (Straw, 1960), and it seemed entirely feasible that here called Roughton Beck in the west, their notably the Kirkby Moor Sands, with its surface at c.27m OD, level surface lies at c.27m OD (Fig.

Page 129 of 10 Per Person, Although This Was Subsequently Increased to 20 Following a Review of Usage Levels and Feedback from Library Users
Appendix 3: Service Provision at January 2015 The Current Service 1. Following the Executive Decision in December 2013 the Council restructured its library service and implemented these changes on 6 May 2014. 2. Universal services: 2.1 The most visible aspect of this was the library service’s website and “virtual catalogue” https://lincolnshire.spydus.gov.uk/, which is also available as a smart phone application or App. Members are able to search the catalogue 24/7/365; access online resources and download e-Audio, e-Books and e- Magazines, and receive reminders. The website was visited 3,134,319 times in 2013/14 (3,094,152 in 2012/13). 2.2 The website also offers access to a range of e-books, e-audio and e- magazines as well as a range of online resources. There were 40,801 e-issues of this material in 2013-14 (25,113 in 2012-13) 2.3 This is supplemented by access to the County Council’s customer service centre (CSC), from 9am to 5pm seven days a week. This facility will be operated by Serco from April 2015 and have longer opening hours (8am to 6pm). Staff at CSC have access to the library service’s website and can assist customers with loan requests, reservations, etc. This is particularly important for those customers who are unable to access the internet. The CSC handled 35,091 library calls in 2013/14 (44,292 in 2012/13). 2.4 Underpinning these public facing components of the universal service are the professional and technical support required to procure, process, distribute and manage book stock and other items which can be borrowed by the public.
