The aim of the strategy is to develop a Cumbria-wide housing delivery strategy/plan, providing the specific activities and interventions that will help deliver the ambition of Cumbria’s local authorities [LAs] in relation to housing delivery within it and particularly the delivery of new homes. 1.2 The Strategy focuses on those issues on which collaborative working can deliver genuine added- value outcomes and where we can catalyse opportunities or address market failures and factors in local housing strategies and plans. It considers all aspects of the housing agenda, its enablers and barriers and how these can best be facilitated or addressed and specifically respond to the priorities identified in the Cumbria Housing Strategy. 1.3 The strategy is the culmination of close working between the CLEP and various stakeholders including the LAs. The CLEP recognises that statutory responsibility for the housing agenda rests with the District Housing Authorities and as such is committed to working in partnership with six District Authorities, Cumbria County Council [CCC], the Lake District National Park Authority [LDNPA] and other housing strategy and delivery partners to ensure that there is wide ownership of and buy into the emerging strategy. The CLEP can play a key role in making the case for housing linked to the needs of Cumbria’s economy. The Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership 1.4 The CLEP is one of 38 business-led partnerships between local authorities and local private sector businesses across England. It plays a vital role in driving forward local economic growth by determining local economic priorities and undertaking activities to drive economic growth and job creation, improving infrastructure and raising workforce skills within Cumbria. The CLEP is overseeing the delivery of 17 local Growth Deal programmes, with £60.3m of government funding being invested in Cumbria up to 2021 to stimulate economic growth, create and safeguard thousands of jobs, provide modern business space and levering in millions of pounds of additional private sector investment. 1.5 The CLEP recognises that both nationally and locally, housing has a critical role to play in creating and supporting economic growth. A balanced housing market supports local economic vitality in the long term, and makes a substantial contribution to Gross Domestic Product [GDP]. Pg 1 Cumbria LEP Housing Delivery Strategy : 1.6 Housing plays two important economic roles: • the availability of the right type of housing which is affordable on local incomes is crucial to economic growth, maintaining a local labour supply and sustaining communities. • New housing construction provides and creates investment and a flow of skilled jobs both directly and in the supply chain. This local workforce then spend their incomes on local goods and services. 1.7 Recognising this vital role that housing delivery has to play in the economy, the CLEP’s Strategic Economic Plan 2014-2024 (March 2014) has as a key objective the need to support LPAs to deliver 30,000 new homes through their Local Plans. Housing falls mainly under Strategic Priority 4: Strategic connectivity of the M6 Corridor in the Strategic Economic Plan 2014-2024 [SEP], which includes aims around housing and economic development. 1.8 Recognising that housing affordability and supply is a significant constraint on the local economy, the CLEP aims to work with the Homes and Communities Agency [HCA] to ensure delivery of affordable housing and to help speed-up delivery of market housing to support the growth aspirations for the M6 corridor. 1.9 The CLEP also works with businesses and the public and voluntary and community sectors to develop the County’s Local Industrial Strategy [LIS]. The current Cumbria LIS (March 2019) sets out the vision for Cumbria, five strategic objectives for the county with associated targets, and a number of supporting priorities. A key challenge recognized by the CLEP is the need to increase Cumbria’s population and stem the decline in the working age population. 1.10 This is summarised in Infrastructure Priority 3: support the planned increase house building across Cumbria. This priority aims to facilitate delivery and ensure we have the right type of housing in the right locations. Cumbria has a relatively small number of national housebuilders who operate in the county alongside local and regional housebuilders. The Priority identifies a need to work together to: • Ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place for the major developments, including Carlisle Southern Link Road [CSLR] to unlock development of 10,000 new homes at St Cuthbert’s Garden Village [SCGV]; • Increase the supply of affordable housing in rural areas of high demand in South Lakeland and Eden. • Expand the range and mix of housing, particularly to encourage residents of working age; • Attract a wider range of housebuilders and investors to be active in the county and to explore different construction techniques\delivery models; • Ensure that new housing is built to high design and environmental standards. Pg 2 Cumbria LEP Housing Delivery Strategy : The Cumbria Housing Statement 1.11 This Housing Delivery Statement [HDS] specifically responds to the priorities identified in the Cumbria Housing Statement [CHS], which was produced by the Cumbria Housing Group [CHG] in March 2020. It provides a clear focus to housing priorities in Cumbria to support investment and other funding opportunities that will add value and make a real difference. Its vision is as follows: “Cumbria is a place with a range of good quality, energy efficient affordable homes that meet the needs of our changing populations and growing workforce; helping people to live healthy lives whilst supporting sustainable economic growth.” 1.12 Key Issues include: • Property Prices and Affordability: In certain parts of the County (such as the Lake District) prices far exceed the national average and affordability is a major problem – house prices can be more than ten times local incomes. The County also contains large areas (mainly urban) of deprivation. • Demographic Change: the ageing population across Cumbria, and the corresponding decrease in the working age population, means the demographic make-up is changing. If a high proportion of the community is retired, this can threaten the sustainability of local services and facilities, including local schools, while making it more challenging for employers to recruit. • Second Homes: Where significant numbers of houses are used as second homes / holiday letting, this impacts on community sustainability. A high concentration of holiday accommodation can reduce the resident population of a local community, whilst leading to house price inflation, which can price local people out of the market. This is balanced with the significant role that tourism plays in the local economy. • Housing and the Economy: Opportunities include the Northern Powerhouse; Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal; the Lancaster and South Cumbria Economic Region; as well as building upon international recognition as a centre of nuclear excellence, with ambitions to be at the forefront of significant investment for projects in West Cumbria and Furness. Cumbria can improve its town centre living offer as a number of towns have benefitted from Towns Fund and Future High Street regeneration funding. Delivering both market and affordable homes in sustainable locations is central to the County’s economic aspirations and has a key role in increasing the working age population. • Climate Change: Housing will need to embrace the principles of modern methods of construction, including using low-embodied carbon building materials, and achieving the highest practicable energy efficiency. Cumbria has a large proportion of hard-to-treat homes in rural areas, which often fail minimum energy efficiency standards. The older profile of some of the stock contributes towards the problem of ‘Excess Cold’. Some homes are poorly maintained with lower energy efficiency, which can increase the potential for households to fall into fuel poverty.

  • SCHEMES for the RECLAMATION of LAND from the SEA in NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING the EIGHTEENTH and NINETEENTH CENTURIES Read 20 Febr
    SCHEMES FOR THE RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM THE SEA IN NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES BY WILLIAM ROLLINSON, M.A. Read 20 February 1964 OME of the earliest schemes for the reclamation of land S from the sea in North Lancashire were implemented by the monks of Furness Abbey in the thirteenth century. In the fervour of Cistercian colonisation and agricultural reclamation, several areas on Walney Island were reclaimed by the construction of embankments or dykes of beach pebbles. There is some evidence to suggest that several of these dykes were constructed on both the west and east coasts of the island, but only the great Biggar Dyke on the east coast remains today, the west coast embank­ ments having been destroyed by marine erosion. Extending for almost a mile north-west of the village of Biggar, the dyke protected part of the east coast of Walney and prevented inundation of low-lying ground during spring tides. During the medieval period it was maintained and repaired by the monastic tenants in Furness, but after the dissolution of the abbey in 1537 the responsibility was assumed by the Crown, and in 1564 by the inhabitants of Walney. In spite of such an early and promising beginning, the progress of land reclamation and agricultural development was retarded after the dissolution, and it was not until the eighteenth century and the period of the Agricultural Revolution that interest was again aroused. Under the stimulus of a rapidly growing urban market and a rise in the price of grain during the Napoleonic wars, the period between the mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was one of agricultural expansion and improvement.

  • Lancashire Coastal Way ! ! ! 6 a Map 1 ! !
    LANCASHIRE Coastal Way The Coastal way is a 137 mile footpath following the coastline between Merseyside and Cumbria. The Lancashire coastline, much of which is of international ornithological interest comprises a variety of landscapes from the distinctive limestone scenery of Arnside / Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, through grazed saltmarshes and agricultural land, the seaside resorts of Morecambe and Blackpool and the Fylde coast, as well as the major river estuaries of the Lune, Wyre and Ribble. Walking the Coastal Way will enable you to relive history as well as observe todayÊs coastal activities. See the small creeks home to early inhabitants and the relics of coastal fortifications and early Christianity. Witness the evidence of early industries based on iron, salt and limestone, alongside the modern businesses of British Aerospace, Nuclear Electric, British Gas and ICI. The busy harbours at Fleetwood, Heysham and Glasson Dock contrast sharply with the holiday atmosphere of the seaside resorts. Above all the coastal way provides spectacular views of Morecambe Bay, the Bowland Fells and the Lake District, and the opportunity, particularly in spring and autumn, to observe the large variety of waders and seabirds for which the Lancashire coast and estuaries are internationally important. ENJOY YOUR WALK: But please remember to follow these simple requests: • KEEP TO THE COASTAL WAY PATH. • FASTEN ALL GATES BEHIND YOU. • KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEAD. • TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME WITH YOU. HORSES AND BIKES ARE ONLY ALLOWED ON BRIDLEWAYS. THESE ARE MARKED BY BLUE ARROWS.
