Furthermore, beyond Census data, there is little statistical information available for Electoral Divisions. However, most statistical agencies produce data for Electoral Wards. Therefore, there is a very wide range of statistical information available for Electoral Wards. Furthermore, as Electoral Wards are generally smaller than Electoral Divisions, statistics at this level provide more insight into variations between communities.

    Appendices to the Appraisal of Sustainability Site Report for Braystones EN-6: Revised Draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation Planning for new energy infrastructure October 2010 Appendices to the Appraisal of Sustainability Site Report For Braystones Appraisal of Sustainability of the revised draft Nuclear National Policy Statement The Appraisal of Sustainability (AoS), incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment, of the draft Nuclear National Policy Statement (Nuclear NPS) has been undertaken at a strategic level. It considers the effects of the proposed policy at a national level and the sites to be assessed for their suitability for the deployment of new nuclear power stations by 2025. These strategic appraisals are part of an ongoing assessment process that started in March 2008 and, following completion of this AoS, will continue with project level assessments when developers make applications for development consent in relation to specific projects. Applications for development consents to the Infrastructure Planning Commission will need to be accompanied by an Environmental Statement having been the subject of a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment.

FOREWORD BY COUNCILLOR MICHAEL McVEIGH HERITAGE CHAMPION, COPELAND BOROUGH COUNCIL The Borough of Copeland is home to many settlements that boast a wealth of heritage assets. We have many traditional buildings and street patterns that contribute to the unique character of the Borough’s landscape. The centres of those towns and villages that have significant architectural and historic value have been designated as conservation areas, giving these special places the additional protection they need and deserve. Copeland Borough Council has commissioned this Conservation Area Design Guide to help property owners, designers and builders understand the value of the heritage within our conservation areas, and to ensure that repairs, reinstatements and alterations are undertaken in a way that preserves these important assets. As Heritage Champion, I fully endorse the design principles and guidance that this document sets out. We need to ensure our heritage is enhanced and protected for the benefit of our residents and visitors, and for current and future generations to enjoy. This document is available in different formats such as large print, braille, audio or in a different language by calling 01946 598300. CONTENTS STATUS OF THIS DOCUMENT PAGE NO. PAGE NO.

All right reserved to Papcastle Local History Group Printed in Great Britain by PrintExpress Sneckyeat Road, Hensingham, Whitehaven, Cumbria 2 FOREWORD In spring 2007, Jack Sedgwick, a veterinary surgeon, who had spent his life since the late 1920’s in the village, gave a talk in the village hall. He presented an interesting insight into his early days and identified just five others who had lived all their lives in the village, from about the same time. This talk stimulated discussion into the fact that the history of the village had never been recorded. So from it a Papcastle Local History Group was formed with the intention of recovering as much as possible and with the expectation of publishing at least a small volume. By the autumn of 2008, it was clear that a major decision was needed - whether to publish what had been discovered so far or to hold off for some distant date when many more months, or possibly years of painstaking research might have been done. That would require regular trips to the Records Offices and not inconsiderable expense. This book is therefore a first edition, and one day may be superseded by a superior fresh and much extended edition.

  • ED Profiles Hillcrest and Hensingham
    Hillcrest & Hensingham Electoral Division Profile 2017 Overview of Electoral Division Hillcrest and Hensingham is an electoral division of the district of Copeland, named after two estates within the division, both suburbs of the town of Whitehaven. The division also spans across some of the rural North East Copeland, covering the civil parish of Weddicar. The area hosts a number of Whitehaven’s key community assets including: Whitehaven Fire Station, Copeland Pools, Copeland stadium and Whitehaven Golf Club as well as both of Whitehaven's secondary schools and Mayfield, the Physical and Sensory Specialist School for Copeland. Within the division also lies Castle Park. Parts of Hensingham that you would expect to be within the division, including Hensingham square and West Cumberland Hospital, fall into the boundaries of the neighbouring division of Mirehouse. Keekle is a small, but active community with its own community play park which is under Keekle Bridge, next to the viaduct. Whitehaven Town Council was formed in May 2015, before this Whitehaven hadn’t had a “Town Council” since 1975. This Electoral division is represented by two town councillors one for Hillcrest ward and one for Hensingham ward.
