Highways Act 1980 Section 25 - Proposed Creation of Public Footpath at Crooklands in the Parish of Preston Richard: District of South Lakeland DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATION COMMITTEE Meeting date: 24 August 2016 From: Corporate Director – Economy and Highways HIGHWAYS ACT 1980 SECTION 25 - PROPOSED CREATION OF PUBLIC FOOTPATH AT CROOKLANDS IN THE PARISH OF PRESTON RICHARD: DISTRICT OF SOUTH LAKELAND 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 As part of the Council’s Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) the landowner has agreed to dedicate a public footpath to avoid a short section of road walking on the A65 where there is no footway near Crooklands, near Kendal 1.2 The section of public footpath in the parish of Preston Richard, district of South Lakeland is shown A-B-C on the plan at Appendix A. 1.3 This can be done by an Agreement under Section 25 of the Highways Act 1980. 2.0 POLICY POSITION, BUDGETARY AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS, AND LINKS TO COUNCIL PLAN 2.1 The relevant procedure is an “administrative quasi-judicial” one. Members have discretion as to whether or not to enter into an Agreement, but such discretion must be exercised reasonably. 2.2 The relevant corporate theme is “To provide a safe and well managed highway network, secure infrastructure improvements and support local economic growth” 3.0 RECOMMENDATION 3.1 It is recommended that the Part 2G paragraph 2.1(g)(i) of the Council’s Constitution that the Corporate Director, Resources and Transformation be authorised to enter into an Agreement under Section 25 of the Highways Act 1980 with the relevant landowner and parish council to dedicate a new public footpath in the parish of Preston Richard. shown A-B-C on the plan at Appendix A 4.0 BACKGROUND Detail 4.1 The path is proposed due to the approx. 80 metre gap in the footway alongside the A65 to the north of Crooklands, which forces pedestrians to walk in the road. 4.2 The parish council has identified a need for this link path during consultation with residents for their Community Plan, with over 50% of returned questionnaires highlighting the need for a safer walking route. 4.3 Cumbria Highways have been approached with a view to extend the footway and advised the parish that the cost would be in the region of £50,000, and it could not be considered for the foreseeable future. 4.4 The Countryside Access Team were subsequently approached and viewed this as a worthwhile and achievable project, and have agreed to part fund the project budget to the value of £1,800 from its Rights of Way Improvement Plan (RoWIP). This is on the condition that the path, once completed, be added to the Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way. 4.5 To secure the route as a right of way the Countryside Access Team has negotiated a creation agreement with the affected landowner and parish council. 4.6 The landowner has offered to dedicate a strip of land inside the field boundary to enable a safe walking route to be created. 4.7 The parish council have sought and obtained additional external funding of £14,000 as follows:-. SLDC Locally Important Project grant £10,000.00 Preston Richard Parish council 2,000.00 County Cllr Bingham 1,000.00 CCC RoWIP 1,800.00 Preston Richard Community Plan Group 1,000.00 4.8 The costs of building the new boundary wall will be met by local landowners and it will be built free of charge by the Drystone Walling Association. 4.9 The County Council will construct the path which involves creation of new 2 metre wide surfaced path (including breaching 2 walls and 2 fingerposts) and undertake ground predations for the wall. Consultation 4.10 South Lakeland District Council has been consulted in accordance with Section 25(3) of the Highways Act 1980 and is supportive of the proposal. 4.11 The local member, Councillor Roger Bingham is supportive of the proposal and has added to the project funding (£1000) 5.0 LEGAL CRITERIA 5.1 Section 25 of the Highways Act 1980 enables a local authority to enter into an Agreement with any person having the necessary power to dedicate a footpath, bridleway or restricted byway over land in their area. 5.2 The Council has given due consideration to the needs of agriculture and forestry and nature conservation pursuant to Section 29 of the Highways Act 1980 5.3 Under Part 2G paragraph 2.1(g) (i) of the Constitution, the Committee has power to create footpaths and bridleways. 6.0 OPTIONS 6.1 The Committee have two options; a, that they accept the dedication to ensure that safe walking route is constructed and preserved in perpetuity; or b, that they reject the dedication whereupon the path may still be constructed by the parish council but its long term maintenance, safety and thus usefulness cannot be assured 7.0 CONCLUSION 7.1 The proposal is an administrative, procedural process to formally create a public right of way. 7.2 The Committee is asked to support the recommendation and instruct the County Council to enter into an Agreement with the affected landowner and parish council to create the new public footpath as shown on the plan at Appendix A. Dominic Donnini Corporate Director Economy and Highways July 2016 APPENDICES A - Plan showing proposed creation IMPLICATIONS Staffing: Nil Financial: Advertising cost approx. £200 Electoral Division: Lower Kentdale - Roger Kenneth Bingham PREVIOUS RELEVANT COUNCIL OR EXECUTIVE DECISIONS [including Local Committees] No previous relevant decisions.

  • Full Proposal for Establishing a New Unitary Authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland
    Full proposal for establishing a new unitary authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland December 2020 The Bay Council and North Cumbria Council Proposal by Barrow Borough Council, Lancaster City Council and South Lakeland District Council Foreword Dear Secretary of State, Our proposals for unitary local government in the Bay would build on existing momentum and the excellent working relationships already in place across the three district Councils in the Bay area. Together, we can help you deliver a sustainable and resilient local government solution in this area that delivers priority services and empowers communities. In line with your invitation, and statutory guidance, we are submitting a Type C proposal for the Bay area which comprises the geographies of Barrow, Lancaster Cllr Ann Thomson Sam Plum and South Lakeland councils and the respective areas of the county councils of Leader of the Council Chief Executive Cumbria and Lancashire. This is a credible geography, home to nearly 320,000 Barrow Borough Council Barrow Borough Council people, most of whom live and work in the area we represent. Having taken into account the impact of our proposal on other local boundaries and geographies, we believe creating The Bay Council makes a unitary local settlement for the remainder of Cumbria more viable and supports consideration of future options in Lancashire. Partners, particularly the health service would welcome alignment with their footprint and even stronger partnership working. Initial discussions with the Police and Crime Commissioners, Chief Officers and lead member for Fire and Cllr Dr Erica Lewis Kieran Keane Rescue did not identify any insurmountable barriers, whilst recognising the need Leader of the Council Chief Executive for further consultation.

  • South Lakeland District Deprivation Summary
    District Deprivation Summary South Lakeland 2015 The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) The IMD are produced by the Department for Communities & Local Government (DCLG) to consider the unmet needs of small areas, known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), caused by a lack of resources of across seven domains: Income; Employment; Education Skills and Training; Health and Disability; Crime; Barriers to Housing and Services; and Living Environment. In addition to the above, there are two supplementary indices: The Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI); and The Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI). Deprivation scores for each LSOA across all of the above domains are also combined to create an overall Index of Multiple Deprivation score and rank for each LSOA. When deprivation scores are combined for all LSOAs in South Lakeland, the district is classified as the least deprived district in Cumbria for overall deprivation and falls within the 25% least deprived nationally for overall deprivation. South Lakeland is also the 3rd least deprived district in England in terms of crime deprivation. However, the district falls within the 20% most deprived nationally in relation to living environment deprivation (ranked 45th). None of the LSOAs in South Lakeland rank within the 10% most deprived of areas in England for overall deprivation. Figure 1 plots each LSOA in the district shaded according to overall deprivation scores; areas shaded in red represent communities that are in the 10% most deprived of areas in England, while areas shaded in dark green represent communities that are in the 10% least deprived of areas in England.

They were subsequently submitted to the Secretary of State, examined by the Planning Inspectorate and formally adopted by the County Council in January 2011. At a very late stage in the process, there was a successful legal challenge in connection with a procedural matter and the documents were quashed by the High Court. It is, therefore, necessary for the consultations to be repeated before the documents can be resubmitted to the Secretary of State. The challenge was about the inclusion, without a further round of consultations, of an Area of Search for sand and gravel known as M12 Roosecote quarry extension in Site Allocations Policy 7. This Area of Search was intended as a possible replacement for the nearby Roose sand and gravel quarry near Barrow in Furness, which is a Preferred Area in the policy.
