It lies within the Lake District National Park area, and covers a total of 5,807 acres. The name Grizedale is derived from the name given to the valley by the Norse invaders, who in the ninth century, colonised Furness and its Fells. At the heads of the high valleys, the then wild forest land was used for the keeping of pigs.

    National Character 19. South Cumbria Low Fells Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 19. South Cumbria Low Fells Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper 1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are North areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines East in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape England our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics London and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

The Local Economy 2. Landscape and the Natural Environment 3. Communities and Well-Being 4. Housing and Other Development 5. Roads, Traffic and Transport 6. Energy and Sustainability Annexes Annex A: Community Plan Working Group Members Annex B: Action Plan Annex C: Community Transport Schemes Map of Colton Parish (back page) 1 Introduction Purpose Community Plans set out the issues that local people value about their neighbourhoods, and their aspirations for the future. They tend to be based on civil parish areas (like Colton) or groups of parishes. It is essential that that such Plans properly reflect the values, opinions, needs and aspirations of the community, and that they should be community-led, facilitated by the Parish Council. Principal authorities (in Colton’s case: Cumbria County Council and South Lakeland District Council) and planning authorities (in Colton’s case: the Lake District National Park Authority), are increasingly using these Plans to guide local policy and inform planning decisions. The purpose of this Plan is to set out policies and action plans for the future of the Parish. To this end, invitations to join a Community Plan Working Group brought together people from all three wards of our large rural parish, including parish councillors and the parish clerk. Working group members and contributors are listed in Annex A. Background Colton Civil Parish is a sparsely populated rural area of about 20 square miles within the southern part of the Lake District National Park, spanning three valleys running north-south: Coniston Water and the Crake Valley to the west, Rusland in the centre and Windermere and the River Leven in the east.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION This statistics framework uses the Department of Culture Media & Sport’s (DCMS’s) definition of culture, as described in the DCMS’s Evidence Toolkit – DET (2004). This is becoming the generally accepted standard to observe. The DET adopts an “industrial” definition of the sector, by reference to the cultural output and activities it delivers, rather than an "occupational” definition. Seven domains are identified within “culture” by the DET. These are: performance, visual arts, heritage, books and press, audio-visual, sport and tourism. The DCMS classification includes economic activity across the “entire supply chain” and so retail and manufacturing are counted together with purely cultural functions. The DET relates the domains to the industrial and standard occupational classifications in National Statistics. It should be understood, that while the majority of people with cultural “occupations” are economically active in these domains, some with cultural “occupations” are economically active in other industrial sectors. The framework gathers together available statistics for each of the seven cultural domains in Cumbria. The data on sport are in the process of being finalised and will be added to the framework shortly. The figures held in the framework cover provision (organisations, activities and resourcing) and outputs (public engagement, attendance and cultural achievements) within each domain. Summary sections deal with festivals, which can overlap the domains, and the “creative industries”. The framework also includes six cross-cutting sections, which deal with areas of general policy interest. These cover creation, education, outreach and training, voluntary organisations, the public (participation and market characteristics) resourcing the sector and buildings and investment.
