Next Steps ................................................................................................. 76 4 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Lancaster City Council is a Local Planning Authority with statutory responsibility for the preparation of the Local Development Framework for the city region and is responsible for determining planning applications in its area. The Lancaster Local Plan, which is part of that Local Development Framework, sets out what development is needed in an area and contains policies to ensure that those needs are met in a sustainable way. These policies are used to determine planning applications and also to influence infrastructure provision and environmental management. Once adopted, a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) also becomes part of that Local Development Framework. 1.1.2 As a designated body, Caton-with-Littledale Parish Council is preparing an NDP for the Parish of Caton-with-Littledale. The whole of the parish lies within the Forest of Bowland area which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) (see Map 1) with the statutory purpose of conserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the area. This means that the area’s landscape has been identified by the government as being of national importance. Designation as an AONB and the resulting legal powers and statutory obligations arise out of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. 1.1.3 The preparation of the Caton-with-Littledale NDP is being undertaken by the Parish Council in consultation with both Lancaster City Council and the Forest of Bowland AONB. When complete, the NDP will be part of the City Council’s Local Plan, prepared under the Planning Acts. It will be the principal planning document for part of the Forest of Bowland AONB (a designation that incorporates land in many parishes of five further local authority areas), but there is no single planning document for the whole AONB. This contrasts with the Arnside & Silverdale AONB, where a Development Plan Document has been prepared jointly by Lancaster City Council and South Lakeland District Council. 1.1.4 The Caton-with-Littledale NDP is modelled on the Arnside & Silverdale AONB Development Plan Document to provide consistency of approach for similarly designated areas within the Lancaster Local Plan area. 1.1.5 All AONBs are also required to produce Management Plans, prepared by the statutory AONB Partnerships under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act 2000. Management Plans are not part of the Local Plan for the areas they cover, but their content is a material consideration for Local Planning Authorities in making planning decisions. So, although prepared under different legislation for different purposes, the Forest of Bowland AONB Management Plan is an important document which is complementary to the NDP. 5 Map 1 Caton-with-Littledale Neighbourhood Area @Crown copyright and database rights [2017] Ordnance Survey 100055940 Caton-with Littledale Parish Council (Licensee) License number 100058165. 6 1.1.6 The purpose of this second Regulation 14 Consultation Version of the Caton- with-Littledale NDP paper is to show how plan preparation has progressed since our earlier issues and consultations, including the previous Regulation 14 consultation. This includes setting out outcomes of the earlier consultations, how we have responded to the comments made (especially the reasons for changing to a combined site allocation and criteria-based approach), new information we have gathered, and how all these factors have influenced the site selection and assessments and the drafting of policies.

Arctic terns fly over One thing that I do know about running is that W 40,000 miles a year; the Dracunculus vulgaris no runners run all day, every day.

But they do not ask fraction of a runner’s time. For the large majority of ‘Why?’. We ask ‘Why?’ of them. runners, their non-running activities are much more We also ask ‘Why?’ of each other, if we come important than their running. The answer to my across some apparently strange behaviour: Why does conundrum lies, perhaps, in the relationship between he wear a bow-tie every day? Why does she sing running and the rest of life. We shall see, perhaps. arias while gardening? Why does he collect Bulgarian I plan to write a thousand words or so each week stamps? If we feel bold, we might even ask the person about my running, with no doubt a few detours and directly. Rather more puzzlingly, we also ask ‘Why?’ of perhaps hiatuses along the way, as there are with my ourselves. Why do I continue to support Norwich City running. In the past I have always found it better to Football Club, despite decades of little achievement write an introduction such as this after I have written (that is, the football club, not me)? You would think that, what needs to be introduced (I have a slightly better if someone did something of their own volition, they idea what it’s about by then).
