Lake District National Park Core Strategy including Proposals Map Adoption October 2010 1 Introduction and context A Local Development Framework for the Lake District National Park 1.1 When the Government agreed a new planning system in 2004, it was clear that Local Development Frameworks (LDF) should promote a proactive, positive approach to managing development. This is an ethos that we have fully bought into for the Lake District National Park. 1.2 We want an LDF that talks about the different places in the National Park, how they function and relate to each other, and how we can achieve good design. We want to manage change in the National Park to secure a high quality of life for all without wasting scarce resources. 1.3 So, welcome to the first major document in the Local Development Framework for the Lake District National Park – the Core Strategy. Core Strategy – what is its job? 1.4 The Core Strategy and Key Diagram show how we will deliver the Vision for the National Park strategically and spatially by 2025. The Core Strategy contains core policies, which are criteria or area based, and which will guide development in the National Park. It will not repeat national policy. 1.5 The Proposals Map illustrates the policies on a reference map at the back of the document. How has the Core Strategy emerged? 1.6 We are basing this strategy on a thorough understanding of the National Park’s needs, its opportunities and constraints. We have done this by developing a robust evidence base. 1.7 We have engaged with different parts of the community throughout the Core Strategy process. We started with establishing the Vision for the National Park, then debated all the issues and options and then preferred options. In March 2009 we held an Infrastructure Planning workshop and during May and June 2009, we presented the draft policies for people to comment on as we were developing them. The pre-submission Core Strategy was published in September 2009 for comment, and a public examination into the soundness of the document and its policies took place between January and August 2010. Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) 1.8 We commissioned an independent SA and HRA on the issues and options, preferred options, and policy development for the Core Strategy. 1.9 All development plan documents that form part of the LDF are subject to a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) which meets the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) under EU Directive 2001/42/EC. The aim is to determine how well policies or proposals 1
Lake District National Park Core Strategy including Proposals Map Adoption October 2010 provide for sustainable development, and whether there are any adverse effects on environmental interests. 1.10 Similarly, the Habitats Regulations 2006 require local authorities to assess the potential impacts of land use plans on the Natura 2000 network of European protected sites. This includes Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas. Ramsar Sites are also included under UK Government policy. The assessment, known as the ‘Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA)’, tells us whether there is likely to be any significant effect on any European site. Where to find supporting information 1.11 Information such as Technical Reports and consultation statements for all stages in the production of this document are available from the LDNPA Offices, Murley Moss, Oxenholme Road, Kendal, LA9 7RL and on our website www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/ldf Status of Joint Structure Plan Policies and Local Plan Policies 1.12 This Core Strategy replaces many of the Joint Structure Plan policies and Local Plan policies.
