Lake District National Park Core Strategy including Proposals Map Adoption October 2010 lack of diverse employment opportunities decline of rural services the development potential of sites important for their nature conservation or historic/cultural value erosion of special qualities such as tranquillity and local distinctiveness effect of climate change on habitats and species changes in agricultural practices and impact on landscape and rural communities 2.5 Special Qualities 2.5.1 The Environment Act refers to ‘special qualities’, and these distinguish the National Parks from each other and from other parts of the country. The Lake District National Park’s cultural significance has merited inclusion on the Government’s tentative list of World Heritage Site nominations. 2.5.2 During the National Park Management Plan 1998 review, and again in 2002 as part of the World Heritage Site research, we asked individuals and organisations for their views on the National Park’s special qualities. We acknowledged that responses would depend on personal definitions of ‘special’ and ‘quality’, and on individual’s knowledge and experience of the National Park and of everywhere else. From the responses, we have identified a number of characteristics that, collectively, make the Lake District unique. These include its: complex Geology diverse Landscape concentration of Common Land unique Mosaic of Lakes, Tarns and Rivers wealth of Habitats and Wildlife extensive Semi-Natural Woodlands history of Tourism and Outdoor Activities opportunities for Quiet Enjoyment open Nature of the Fells rich Archaeology distinctive Settlement Character celebrated Social and Cultural Roots For a full description of these qualities, see the Lake District National Park Management Plan 2004. A vision for the Lake District 2.6 Making the National Park purposes a reality 2.6.1 In any National Park, all partners and stakeholders should know how they will work together to meet the statutory purposes. In 2003, partners and stakeholders in the National Park recognised that there was no shared commitment. There was nothing that could bind all our different agendas together. We therefore took the lead to bring people and organisations together to develop a new Vision for the National Park 2006-2030. A new Lake District National Park Partnership, which 6
Lake District National Park Core Strategy including Proposals Map Adoption October 2010 includes all the key stakeholders in the National Park, adopted this Vision. 2.6.2 It is this Vision that the Partnership has proposed as the mechanism to bring together everyone to achieve the National Park purposes. It is this Vision that will guide the National Park Management Plan review, the Lake District National Park Partnership’s actions, and LDF development policies and plans. 2.7 The Vision The Vision for the Lake District National Park The Lake District National Park will be an inspirational example of sustainable development in action. It will be a place where its prosperous economy, world-class visitor experiences and vibrant communities come together to sustain the spectacular landscape, its wildlife and culture. We will see the following outcomes: A prosperous economy Businesses will locate in the National Park because they value the quality of opportunity, environment and lifestyle it offers. Many will draw on a strong connection to the landscape and entrepreneurial spirit will be nurtured across all sectors and traditional industries maintained to ensure a diverse economy. World-class visitor experiences High quality and unique experiences for visitors with a stunning and globally significant landscape. Experience that competes with the best in the international market. Vibrant communities People successfully living, working and relaxing within upland, valley and lakeside places where distinctive local character is maintained and celebrated. Spectacular landscape A landscape which provides an irreplaceable source of inspiration, whose benefits to people and wildlife are valued and improved. A landscape whose natural and cultural resources are assets to be managed and used wisely for future generations. 7
