The application site is approximately 5.0 kilometres to the west of Burnley town centre and is within the Hapton with Park ward. 1.2 The site has been cleared of buildings and is now vacant. The application for the development of houses includes a mix of two, three and four bedroom houses. Access is proposed by way of a simple priority junction at the same location as the existing access onto Manchester Road. 1.3 This Transport Assessment, the scope and content of which has been agreed with the Local Highway Authority, will provide the necessary information to assist the Local Planning and Highway Authorities to assess the planning applications. 1.4 This Transport Assessment will consider the transport implications of the proposals to achieve a sustainable development and identify any residual impacts together with appropriate mitigation measures. In particular, based upon national guidance and trip data from the TRICS Consortium database, it will consider the access arrangements and likely transport impact on the surrounding highway network, including on the adjacent hump back canal bridge. 1.5 It will be demonstrated that that the site can be satisfactorily accessed and that with appropriate off-site mitigation measures, the traffic likely to be generated by the development proposals can be safely and satisfactorily accommodated on the local highway network. It will also be demonstrated that the site is well located to encourage trips by more environmentally friendly modes of travel than the private car. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ V5 Gleeson Homes & Regeneration 1 Manchester Road, Hapton Transport Assessment 1.6 A separate Residential Travel Plan has been produced in conjunction with this Transport Assessment both of which demonstrate the development will accord with Local and Central Government advice. 1.7 This Transport Assessment will conclude that there are no highways or transportation reasons which would prevent the proposed development being granted planning consent. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ V5 Gleeson Homes & Regeneration 2 Manchester Road, Hapton Transport Assessment 2.0 TRANSPORT POLICY CONSIDERATIONS National Planning Policy Framework, March 2012 2.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how they are expected to be applied. At the heart of the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development which the document indicates should be seen as a ‘golden thread’ running through the decision making process. 2.2 Within the overarching roles that the planning system ought to play the NPPF indicates that there are a set of core land use planning principles which should underpin the decision making process. Specifically in relation to transport these principles include: Actively managing patterns of growth to make the fullest possible use of public transport, walking and cycling, and focussing significant development in locations which are or can be made sustainable. 2.3 Paragraph 32 of NPPF states that:- All developments that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment. Plans and decisions should take account of whether: the opportunities for sustainable transport modes have been taken up depending on the nature and location of the site, to reduce the need for major transport infrastructure; safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all people; and Improvements can be undertaken within the transport network that cost effectively limit the significant impacts of the development. Development should only be prevented or refused on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. 2.4 NPPF indicates that development should protect and exploit opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes for the movement of goods or people and suggests that a key tool to facilitate this will be a Travel Plan. The ______________________________________________________________________________________________ V5 Gleeson Homes & Regeneration 3 Manchester Road, Hapton Transport Assessment application includes a separate Residential Travel Plan prepared by TPS on behalf of Gleeson Homes and Regeneration. Lancashire’s Transport Plan 2011 – 2015 (LTP3) 2.6 Lancashire’s third Local Transport Plan (LTP3) has three component parts: the Transport Strategy, the Implementation Plan and the Annual Delivery Programme which sets out in detail the agreed prioritised delivery programme for the next financial year as well as briefly outlining the proposed four year programme. 2.7 The Transport Strategy has seven main goals. The primary goal is to support the economic growth in the Region. At the same time it aims to enhance social inclusion and health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and maximise safety. 2.8 In translating the Transport Strategy into action, it follows four cross-cutting principles:- Improving access into areas of economic growth and regeneration – To help secure a strong economic future by making transport and travel into and between our major economic areas and beyond; Providing better access to education and employment – To provide all sections of the community with safe and convenient access to the services, jobs, health, leisure and educational opportunities that they need; Improving people’s quality of life and wellbeing– To create more attractive neighbourhoods by reducing the impact of our transport on the quality of life and by improving the public space; Improving the safety of the highway network for vulnerable residents – To make walking and cycling more safe, convenient and attractive particularly in the more disadvantaged areas of Lancashire, bringing improvements in the health of Lancashire’s residents. Providing safe, reliable, convenient and affordable transport alternatives to the car- To improve the accessibility, availability and ______________________________________________________________________________________________ V5 Gleeson Homes & Regeneration 4 Manchester Road, Hapton Transport Assessment affordability of transport of transport as a contribution to the development of strong and cohesive communities; Maintaining existing assets- To provide value for money by prioritising the maintenance and improvement of Lancashire existing transport infrastructure where it can help to deliver our transport goals; and. Reducing carbon emissions and its effects – To reduce the carbon impact of Lancashire transport requirements, whilst delivering sustainable value for money transport options to those who them 2.9 Relevant Transport strategy policies include: To improve connectivity between major Settlements; To focus new development along key public transport corridors and in places adjacent to existing shops and services; To apply parking policies to promote efficient car use, while remaining

In most cases they also represent major political parties. Pendle Council has 49 councillors, representing 20 Higham wards. The number of councillors for each ward depends and Pendleside on the number of people living in that ward. Barrowford Horsfield 13 of our wards have 3 councillors Old Laund Booth Bradley 3 wards have only 2 Whitefield Boulsworth Brierfield 4 have just 1 Walverden Reedley Marsden The councillors contribute to creating the Clover Hill Waterside Southfield Council’s policies, decide how the Council’s www.pendle.gov.uk www.pendle.gov.uk money is spent and how services are delivered.

  • Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
    Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment.

  • 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.

  • Pendle Borough Council Election Results 1973-2012
    Pendle Borough Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
