It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system.

  • LD275 Allerdale BC Strategy for Infrastructure April 2013
    “Allerdale – aStrategy great place for to live, Infrastructure work and visit” A p r i l 2 0 1 3 PART ONE: BASELINE ASSESSMENT 1. Introduction Background 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to assess the quality and capacity of infrastructure for transport, water supply, wastewater and its treatment, energy (including heat), telecommunications, utilities, waste, health, social care, education, flood risk and coastal change management, and its ability to meet forecast demands. 1.2 With specific reference to infrastructure, the NPPF states that in producing local plans, local planning authorities should develop policies that: • Identify priority areas for economic regeneration, infrastructure provision and environmental enhancement • Create, protect, enhance and manage networks of biodiversity and green infrastructure • Address potential barriers to investment including any lack of infrastructure • Develop strategies for the provision of viable infrastructure necessary to support sustainable development 1.3 The NPPF states that in order for local plans to be found sound they must demonstrate that they are deliverable across the period over which they will run. This includes making it clear what infrastructure is needed, its criticality and when it is likely to be provided. Policy Context 1.4 The NPPF states that Local Plans should be supported by evidence of what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed for the area over the plan period. The process should identity infrastructure needs and where possible, phasing, costs, funding sources and responsibilities for delivery. 1.5 Guidance from the Planning Inspectorate suggests that it should be clear what new infrastructure is required to enable the delivery of the plan and who is going to fund and provide it.

  • Independent Group
    FAO [email protected] Allerdale Boundary Commission Review Part 2 Submission of the Independent Group Introduction The Independent Group met on Thursday 1st December to consider the proposals tabled by Officers at the Group Leaders' Meeting the preceding Monday 28th November. Being a group not affiliated with any political party, the group's six members main concern is to properly represent the views of their respective electorates specifically in: • Dalton Ward • Broughton St Bridgets Ward • Harrington Workington Ward • All Saints Cockermouth Ward • Keswick Ward • Aspatria Ward In relation to the boundary review process Part 2, its nature is such that members of the group have engaged in general discussion within e.g. local parish councils on the matter, but have not until the week commencing 28th November been in a position to consider the implications both locally or more widely arising from the work of the Officer group which was not made available until that date. The three major Groups in Allerdale – Labour, Conservatives and Independent – have all shared thoughts as the process has advanced over recent weeks, both through the Leaders' Group but also informally between those councillors who have taken the lead within each group for 'number-crunching' and map-making. Much common ground has emerged, but there are of course differences which in large part are probably conditioned by the fact that in most wards political representation tends to be the monopoly of a single party. This in turn both enhances the ability of winning parties to articulate the needs and perceptions of those communities, but simultaneously diminishes their ability to speak with equal authority on the needs and perceptions of communities they have little experience of representing.
