Allerdale Borough Council 2/2011/0373 Allerdale Borough Council 2/2011/0373 Reference No: 2/2011/0373 Received: 19 May 2011 Proposed Temporary anemometry mast up to a height of 70m for a period of Development: 2 years Location: Land at The Close Mealsgate Wigton Applicant: Mrs Bridget McNulty Your Energy Ltd Drawing Numbers: Figure No. 1 - Site Location Plan HC-CW-70M-001-002 - Proposed Mast Figure No. 3 - Base Plan Constraints: Radon Assessment British Coal Area Policies: Allerdale Local Plan, Adopted 1999 (Saved) Policy EN25 - Protecting the open countryside Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan 2001-2016 Policy R44 – Renewables outside the Lake District National Park and AONB North West of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 Whilst the government has indicated their intention to remove the Regional Spatial Strategy as a material planning consideration, as yet this has not been statutorily concluded, therefore it continues to remain a planning consideration in the context of the current proposal. Policy EM17 - Renewable Energy ‘Wind Energy in Cumbria’ Cumbria County Council Supplementary Planning Document Planning Policy Statements Planning Policy Statement 22 (PPS22) – Renewable energy Planning Policy Statement 7 (PPS7) Relevant Planning The site was recently the subject of a scoping opinion for turbine History: development (under SCO/2011/0003). Representations: Boltons Parish Council – At a meeting with the developer the Parish were informed that the applicant already knew the wind speeds in the area and that the purpose of the anemometer mast was to provide information to their investors. The parish consider that the applicant’s knowledge of the wind speed is verified by the supporting information. At a recent meeting the developer also advised a future application for the wind turbines will be lodged in 6-9 months time, which would be an insufficient timescale to obtain and analyse any meaningful data from the proposed anemometer. The Parish therefore conclude the proposed mast contributes non- essential and unnecessary development in the countryside, contrary to the Council’s Local Plan policies. County Highways – No objections. United Utilities – No objections to the principle of the proposal. Advise there are two water mains laid adjacent to the site of the development. This will require access strips of 10m (5m on either side of the centre line of the main). Further to a later site inspection by their engineer, there is only a small section of the pipe that would be affected, with no heavy vehicles near the mains. They withdrew their objection. Environmental Health – No objections. Natural England – The proposal does not appear to be within their scope of consultation, but it should not be interpreted that it results in no impact on its local environment. However, they would recommend that if the Local Planning Authority is aware from representations of protected species, further survey information should be provided with the application. In addition, the proposed design may facilitate enhancement of biodiversity measures, e.g. bird boxes. Seek consultation on any future scoping opinion for any wind turbine scheme at the site. Ministry of Defence – No safeguarding objections, but request that in the interests of air safety the mast is fitted with aviation lighting (25 candela omni-directional red lighting or infrared lighting at the highest practical point). Seek consultation on any future turbine scheme. Fire Officer – No objections. Carlisle Airport – No objections subject to: 1. Any future changes to the proposal be notified for further comment to Carlisle Airport. 2. In the event of changes to aviation legislation, the person responsible for the turbines may be responsible to take corrective action if any turbine operations at the site become non-compliant or present unacceptable risk to aviation schemes (in a timely manner). Arqiva – No objections. Cumbria Wildlife Trust – No representation has been received to date (25 July 2011). Civil Aviation Authority – Advise due to high demand of wind turbine development on the CAA resources they are unable to comment on the submitted timescale. Seek consultations with local airports. NATS – No safeguarding objections. The application was advertised on site and adjoining owners were notified. 49 letters of objection were received on the grounds of: 1. Landscape and cumulative effect: Harmful impact on the undeveloped landscape, plus additional cluster to the three nearby turbines at Pow Hill, and the existing Brocklebank / Sandale telecommunication masts – negative change to classification of landscape. 2. Detrimental impact on local residents: The additional mast will destroy the ‘sense of place’. 3. Rosley refusal decision: Similar refused planning decision on a planning application resisting additional anemometer masts. As there is another anemometer mast within three quarters of a mile next to the existing High Pow turbines, the proposed mast should be unacceptable. 4. Unnecessary and non-essential development: Production figures of the High Pow development were published in November 2009. The mast is three quarters of a mile from its associated mast on the same contour level. The existing turbines at High Pow were developed without prior installation of an anemometer mast. The scheme therefore is both unnecessary and non-essential. 5. Contrary to Policy EN25 of the Local Plan and PPS7 – Pre-cursor to future wind turbine development: Consider this should be considered at this stage due to the negative impact on the local amenity and impact on the landscape from the existing High Pow development. 6. Object to subsidies for big business and penalisation through fuel bills. 7. Detrimental impact of wind energy on tourists. 8. Request for monatorium on all wind farm development given a wind turbine scheme in Scotland having to be switched off due to noise disturbance. 9. Amount of CO2 spent in the construction of wind turbines negates the amount of energy saved. 10. Object to the name ‘Percy Hill’ and the site refers to ‘The Close’. 11. Reference to Cumbria Wind Energy Document, Document 1 Part 1, General Planning Guidance, Para 3a (adopted by Allerdale). ‘In a recent appeal decision the Inspector recognised the perception that the Solway, on and offshore, is planning host to a significant number of wind turbines and ‘approaching’ the stage where the character across a number of landscape types is shifting towards a distinct change’. 12. Unnecessary development as existing wind data is available. 13. Potential bird kill due to both resident and migrating bird species. 14. Land based turbines have large scale inefficiencies. 15. Financial profit to land owner. 16. Turbines cause noise, harm wildlife, disfigure the landscape and result in devaluation of properties. 17. The neighbouring High Pow developers erected their own anemometer mast last year. 18. Strong local opposition for further turbine development. 19. Ongoing noise complaints since April 2010. Report Planning history The site and its immediate surroundings was recently the subject of a scoping opinion for turbine development (under SCO/2011/0003). The adjacent site to the east was also the subject of a scoping opinion for three turbines (under SCO/2010/0006). More recently a 16m tall temporary (two year) anemometer mast has been approved and implemented (2/2010/0074) on the land to the east of the site. A windfarm comprising of three turbines, 95m to tip height is located 1.23km to the east of the site, which was allowed on appeal following Allerdale’s refusal decision of the application (2/2004/0944) on the grounds of adverse impact on landscape and visual amenity of residential properties and the absence of any desk top study to evaluate the impact of mine workings. The application site The application site occupies an isolated rural location in the open countryside. The site and immediate surroundings comprises of open agricultural fields on an undulating slope. Access to the site is via a field gate and access track from the highway to the south of the site. The nearest dwellinghouse is located 0.87km from the proposed mast. The proposal The application seeks temporary consent (2 years) for the erection of a 70m tall anemometer mast (194mm wide) which will incorporate sensors and instrumentation to read wind speed and direction. The mast will be supported by a range of four sets of guy wires which have a radius of 35m. The supporting access and design statement advises the mast is for the purposes of assessing the site’s potential for a wind turbine development. The applicant seeks a 15m micro-siting allowance, but contests the visual impact of the development is limited by virtue of: its distance from local roads, the other existing turbines in the localities (with the mast being lower in height than the turbines, and the slim appearance of the mast which is finished in a dull grey galvanised steel finish). The site would be restored at the end of the temporary timescale. Access to the site would be via the existing farm track using a 4x4 vehicle and trailer. The installation would take 3-4 days. The applicant contests that the equipment is essential to record and measure the wind, and it is crucial to measure the potential environmental benefits. In response to the parish and objectors’ representations, the applicant advises the reasons for the mast are fourfold: 1 Environmental benefit : The measurements can be used to calculate the amount of CO 2 emissions reductions based on 2MW turbines. More specific assumptions can be made on individual turbine models. However, the most accurate way to assess the environmental benefits is to gather site specific wind data (from an on-site met mast). Although this data is not likely to be available before the planning application is submitted it can be used to choose the turbine model. 2 Noise monitoring : Baseline noise monitoring needs to be undertaken to understand the noise environment of the site and its surroundings which needs to be corroborated with on- site wind data (i.e.

We formed the Aspatria Rural Partnership and decided to prepare this Community Action Plan. It aims to provide a strategic approach and to co-ordinate our actions through the delivery of an evidence-based action plan. This is intentionally a succinct document, which belies the amount of work that went into its preparation. That work is captured in a background issues paper, which sets out the research and consultation that helped us define our objectives and actions. We now want to implement our plan and we welcome your input. If we have missed something that is important to you, then let us know. If you have any suggestions on the actions or if there is anything you can do to help implement them, please do get in touch.

  • A595 Improvement Transport Scheme Development
    A595 Improvement Transport Scheme Development Non-Technical Summary i A595 Improvement – Transport Scheme Development 1/ Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Cumbria County Council is undertaking study work to develop a highway improvement scheme for the A595 between Redmain and Mealsgate. The council has appointed engineering consultants Capita to assist with and support the technical work. 1.1.2 This report is a non-technical summary of the scheme development and options appraisal undertaken to date. It presents an outline of the scheme context and underlying evidence base, the scheme’s objectives, and a description and the rationale for the scheme undergoing consultation. 1.2 Previous Studies 1.2.1 The West of M6 Strategic Connectivity Study identified a number of constraints on Cumbria's key highway corridors, including the A595, related to capacity, safety and resilience. Interventions have been developed to remove these constraints and support plans for economic growth in the County. The A595 around Bothel was one of the sections identified that required improvement. 1.2.2 Following this study, a strategic outline business case was developed for the A595/A66 corridor. The business case brought together all the scheme interventions identified on the corridors in the West of M6 Study and prioritised them. The A595 between Redmain and Mealsgate was identified as a prioritised scheme in the business case, and economic appraisal demonstrated the programme as a whole could achieve value for money. 1.3 Existing Situation 1.3.1 The A595 is an essential strategic route for Cumbria, providing access to and from West Cumbria and sites including the Port of Workington, Moorside, Sellafield and Barrow-in- Furness, to the A689 and the M6 and A69 beyond.

    Aspatria Individual Station Risk Review / Profile This document assesses the specific performance and risk within the fire station area. It provides more defined risk profiling down to Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. The risk profiling process by its very nature provides evidence of the fire risk within each geographical LSOA using detailed known risk and demographic information. The risk formula used to inform our fire risk profile was devised following the Intervention Standards Review, full details are available on our website: www.cumbria.gov.uk/fire The review also identifies other significant risks in the area that need consideration so that our resources are appropriately allocated across the county. As well as looking at county wide issues and trends in the main Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP), this individual station risk profile considers: • Current resources • Appliance availability • Operational response activity • Fire risk profile • Next nearest supporting appliances • Location specific risks including: heritage risk, environment risk, site specific risks: flooding risks, rurality and resilience risk. Resources The station is located in the town centre on the main road through the town and is staffed by 11 On Call firefighters.
