It is a requirement of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 that local planning authorities prepare an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR). 1.2 In accordance with PPS12, the AMR will consider: whether the timetable and milestones for the preparation of documents set out in the Council’s Local Development Scheme have been met or, where they are not being met or not on track to being achieved, the reasons why; whether policies and related targets in the Burnley Local Plan/subsequent Local Development Documents have been met or progress is being made towards achieving them, or where this is not the case, the reasons why; what impact the policies are having in respect of national, regional and local policy targets, and any other targets identified in Local Development Documents. Regulation 48 specifically requires information to be provided on net additional dwellings and housing trajectories to be produced to demonstrate how policies will deliver housing provision in the future; what significant effects implementation of the policies is having on the social, environmental and economic objectives by which sustainability is defined and whether these effects are as intended; whether the policies in the Local Development Framework need adjusting or replacing because they are not working as intended; and whether the policies need changing to reflect changes in national or regional policy. 1.3 Thus, Local Development Documents will be continually reviewed and revised and the Annual Monitoring Report will be the main mechanism for assessing the Local Development Framework’s performance and effects. Monitoring may also show the need to address other factors over and above reviewing the policies. For example, there may be a necessity to review or extend the monitoring framework itself or propose actions in relation to related local strategies and initiatives. 1.4 This year’s AMR will be the fourth to monitor the policies of the Burnley Local Plan Second Review (referred to in this report as the ‘Local Plan’) which was adopted in April 2006. 4 Burnley Local Development Framework: Annual Monitoring Report 2010 Annual Monitoring Report and Wider Monitoring Framework 1.5 Monitoring of Local Plan policies in Burnley through the Annual Monitoring Report takes place within the context of sub-regional, regional and national monitoring frameworks. 1.6 The AMR is based on a set of national Core Indicators which provide a set of consistent and comparable definitions for planning bodies. In the North West local authority data relating to the core indicators is used to build up a regional picture of spatial planning performance and informs the Annual Monitoring Report of the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). 1.7 While the Joint Lancashire Structure Plan has now been superseded by the RSS, Lancashire County Council continues to report annually on spatial planning issues at the county level. This report and other statistics held on the County’s website are major sources of data for this AMR. 1.8 Annual Monitoring Report Core Indicators were significantly revised in 2008. Some indicators were removed from the national Core set but most of these, having been monitored in Burnley in recent years, were retained within the AMR and continue to be reported on as Local Indicators. 1.9 Three of the core indicators, net additional homes, affordable homes and deliverable housing sites are part of the set of 198 National Indicators by which local government performance is now assessed (national Indicators, NI154, NI155 and NI159 respectively). See The New Performance Framework for Local Authorities and Local Authority Partnerships: Single Set of National Indicators (HMSO 2007). 1.10 40 of these new National Performance Indicators are monitored by the relevant service units of the Council as are a set of Local Indicators. Some of the national indicators formed part of the Council’s Place Survey 2008/9 in which 3,000 randomly chosen residents were asked there views on the quality of life and services within the borough. Some of the 40 indicators are also monitored jointly with other local authorities in Lancashire under the Local Area Agreement (LAA) and the Pennine Lancashire Multi-Area Agreement (MAA). 2.0 SPATIAL PORTRAIT OF BURNLEY 2.1 Burnley borough is situated in the eastern part of Lancashire adjoining other former textile areas in Lancashire and Yorkshire. It covers an area of 11,072 hectares (42 square miles) and its compact urban area, stretching along two river valleys, is surrounded by the moorland countryside of the South Pennines. 2.2 Burnley is a key town in the North West and, along with Blackburn, Blackpool and Preston it is one of the key centres in Pennine Lancashire, the wider county and the Central Lancashire City Region. It is the retail, business and service centre for Pennine Lancashire. Padiham is a separate town within the borough that serves a wide rural hinterland. 2.3 Although Burnley is quite well connected to the rest of the Central Lancashire City region by rail and road, its links to the other city regions which adjoin it, Manchester and Leeds, are poor. 5 Burnley Local Development Framework: Annual Monitoring Report 2010 2.4 The borough’s population is currently estimated to be 85,600, a decline from 89,500 since the 2001 Census. It is the only district in Lancashire that has experienced such population decline. Population projections for the borough indicate that the population will continue to decline to 83,700 by 2033. 2.5 The borough has a diverse population with about 10% of its residents being black and minority ethnic members of the community. There is currently a pattern of residential segregation in Burnley with ten out of fifteen of its wards having 3% or fewer residents who are not white. Burnley is made up of many neighbourhoods, including rural areas, such as Dunnockshaw, the villages of Cliviger and Worsthorne, suburban areas like Ightenhill and inner urban areas. Within these inner urban neighbourhoods, there are significant pockets of deprivation including high levels of crime, deep-rooted health problems and housing market failure. In this respect, Burnley displays similar characteristics to some of the major urban areas of the region, such as Manchester and Liverpool. 2.6 However, in one significant respect Burnley is quite different and this affords a great opportunity in terms of transforming the borough. Over 80% of the borough is rural and the urban area characteristically has open views of the surrounding countryside, including the Pennines. 2.7 Much of Burnley’s character and distinctiveness today derives, not only from its attractive Pennine setting but also from its development during the Industrial Revolution. This gave much of the inner part of the town its distinctive terraces, built of local stone in grid-iron street patterns, close not only to dominating mill buildings but also to attractive open areas, such as the borough’s fine formal parks and the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. 2.8 The quality of Burnley’s built and natural environment has a unique capacity to support future growth. The borough’s current employment base plays a key role in the economy of the Central Lancashire City Region. It will continue to be of great importance to the economy of the sub-region with advanced manufacturing being a key economic driver, supported by the development of the Burnley College and University campus and by new secondary school provision under the Building Schools for the Future programme. Its industrial past opens up exciting opportunities for the future, such as the potential for employment, leisure and housing development in canalside areas. Added to this, the Elevate Housing Market Renewal Initiative affords the opportunity to provide a greater choice of housing in the borough in order to reverse population decline. 6 Burnley Local Development Framework: Annual Monitoring Report 2010 3.0 CONTEXTUAL INDICATORS POPULATION 3.1 In June 2009, the population of the borough was estimated to be 85,600 (ONS), a decrease of 0.5% on the previous year.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

  • A Forest of Cockshutt Family Trees
    A Forest of Cockshutt Family Trees Extending my Cockshutt Heritage amid a forest of Cockshutt family trees Dr “Ted” E.D.H. Flack, PhD. JP. Copyright 2018 Growing my Cockshutt Family Tree in a Forrest of Cockshutt Family Trees Introduction Researching my paternal grandmother’s Cockshutt family for the past 25 years, I have been up and down many a blind alley, but I have also been able to trace my Cockshutt heritage back thirteen generations. This search has not been without its challenges, not the least of which has been multiple spellings of the name Cockshutt and the tradition of using the same given names, generation after generation. Fortunately, my grandmother’s step brother, Charles Roberts (1905-1978) had left records of the family history research that he had undertaken during the latter years of his life. He, in turn, had the benefit of a “pedigree” written by his uncle Nicholas Cockshutt (1863-1938). The Cockshutt family tree Charles Roberts was able to document and chart using his architects drafting skills goes back eight generations and is reproduced using computer-generated graphics on the next page. In this research report, my objective is to set out the results of research which has been directed at verifying and extending Charles Roberts’ research into our shared Cockshutt family history. I report the progress made in extending our Simonstone-Colne Cockshutt family back to John Cockshutt (born circa 1560) and discuss findings in respect of other, possibly distantly related, Cockshutt families that attracted my interest during these searches. As Charles Roberts conducted his research during the 1950-60’s, his research was restricted to examining published pedigrees and indexes of parish records where such publications existed.

  • Heritage Investment Strategy 2015-20
    HERITAGE INVESTMENT STRATEGY 2015-20 1 FOREWORD Welcome to the Pennine Lancashire Heritage Investment Strategy and our heritage compact agreed by Pennine Lancashire Leaders and Chief Executives (PLACE). Pennine Lancashire has been underinvested over the last century by both the public and private sector following our fortunes and decline of the industrial revolution. This legacy has left behind a number of liabilities and challenges within the heritage built environment. However, we now recognise that these assets present many opportunities, which could help bolster our economy, society and environment. This strategy demonstrates our commitment to heritage and its potential to contribute to maximise local growth. We want to use our unique historic assets to help regenerate Pennine Lancashire for now and future generations. Our 24 heritage priority projects have the potential to create over 1,200 direct jobs and add a further £39m GVA to the Lancashire economy. The wider historic environment presents much more economic benefits. Communities will also benefit from strengthened local identity and pride, greater local participation and greater inclusion and cohesion resulting in better mental and physical health, higher attainment, less anti-social behaviour and a positive outlook for the future. The investment strategy will focus on greater partnerships and levering additional funds from both the public agencies and more importantly the private sector. We will work with investors and partners to think about unconventional methods to unlock funds to regenerate heritage assets, together addressing common barriers which deliver greater longer term returns. Moving forward, we will continue to champion local heritage and remain responsive to new opportunities within the heritage sector to contribute to our local economy.
