Guiding principles for the Partnership’s Plan Sustainable development and habitats directive We have checked the Plan’s sustainability against the Government’s definition of sustainable development - www.defra.gv.uk/sustainable. We have carried out a Sustainability Appraisal. And we have conducted a Habitats Regulations Assessment. These have been published alongside this document and on the National Park Authority’s website: www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/ldnppmanagementplan The sustainability appraisal requires that this plan will contribute to the delivery of the five priorities in the Government’s current sustainable development strategy, ‘Securing the Future’ (2005): • Living within environmental limits • Ensuring a strong, healthy and just society • Achieving a sustainable economy • Promoting good governance and • Using sound science responsibly. Equality and diversity The National Park is a national asset to our society and everyone should have access to it, regardless of economic, social or physical constraints. We have talked and listened to groups that currently feel unwelcome or find it hard to enjoy the National Park’s special qualities so we can identify barriers to intellectual or physical access. The National Park Authority’s Joint Equalities Board has completed an Impact Assessment during the public consultation. This plan encourages actions that improve access for everyone. The National Park Authority is fully engaged in working with the Campaign for National Parks on its Mosaic project. The project encourages and supports Community Champions from black minority and ethnic groups in their aim to lead others from their communities in learning about, appreciating and enjoying the Park. The National Park Authority is also committed to organisational change and establishing partnerships and relationships with these groups to help to make the Park a more welcoming and accessible place. This work will extend into the Partnership through the The Plan’s actions. Transparent community and organisational engagement We have developed this plan through open conversations, initially with organisations and then with the broader community. A full statement on the National Park Authority’s website explains how we involved people in developing the Vision and in considering issues and options when creating the Local Development Framework. This is available from www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/Local Development Framework. Links to other plans We cannot review the Management Plan in isolation; many factors influence its Vision, policies and actions. They have to be consistent with international, national and local guidance and policies. And our actions need to contribute and conform to environmental protection legislation. 6
As we will show, we have adopted a collaborative approach. We have involved almost 30 partner organisations and many individual stakeholders – all of whom have their own plans and strategies. The diagram below shows how this plan sits right at the heart of a wider policy context. • Parish Community Plans • Community Strategies • Local Area Agreements National Parks Legislation and Guidance Regional Strategies: • Housing • Economic • Tourism • Minerals and waste • Forestry • River Basin Management Plans Lake District National Park Local Development Framework • Core Strategy • Housing & Employment Land Allocations Lake District National Park Authority: • Business Plan • Climate Change Action Plan The Partnership’s Plan Lake and Valley Catchment Plans, Master Plans: • West Cumbria • Keswick • Ambleside • Windermere/Bowness River Basin Management Plans • Windermere Catchment Restoration Programme • Bassenthwaite Lake Restoration Programme • Windermere Management Strategy • Coniston and Crake Partnership • Loweswater Care Project • Patterdale valley plan • Borrowdale valley plan • Wild Ennerdale Sub-regional Documents: • Local Transport Plan • Destination Management Plan • Housing Strategy • Historic Environment Strategy • Joint Structure Plan • Cumbria Economic Plan • Cumbria Biodiversity Action Plan • Waste Management Strategy • Economic Futures Study • Cumbria Tourism Strategy 2008-2018 • Cumbria Single Community Strategy • Local Development Frameworks 7
