Annex A Statement of Outstanding Universal Value World Heritage Site – Background and Outstanding Universal Value Since the last Lake District National Park Management Plan was published in 2004, when the potential for a World Heritage Site in the Lake District was briefly mentioned, considerable work has been undertaken in order to progress a bid for inscription by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. The bid centres on the ‘Cultural Landscape’ category and its Outstanding Universal Value. It stems from Lake District special qualities as a place of ‘celebrated social and cultural heritage’ The proposed World Heritage Site boundary matches the Lake District National Park boundary so management arrangements can align. By integrating the Plan’s content and the process of identifying actions amongst partners, we have ensured that tensions between World Heritage Site status and National Park aims are effectively dealt with. And eventually the Plan can act as a dedicated World Heritage Site Management Plan too. The primary aim of the Partnership’s Plan is to conserve the Lake District’s Outstanding Universal Value so that the special qualities are maintained and enhanced for future generations. This makes the Lake District globally important for everyone and therefore the main focus of the Plan. Many other aspects of the proposed World Heritage Site need managing and improving. ‘Conservation’ means ensuring the survival of important landscapes and buildings associated with its Universal Value and fewer tangible assets such as biodiversity and our ability to help visitors understand the importance of the World Heritage Site. World Heritage Site Management Plans are recommended in government planning guidance as a material consideration in planning decisions. Inscription will bring international recognition to the Lake District and recent work, commissioned by the Lake District World Heritage Site Project and the North West Development Agency, has helped us understand the potential social and economic benefits to the Lake District. There are many economic and tourism related benefits, with wider benefits to the local economy and communities that reinforce connections between the core themes of the Lake District’s Vision. “Tourism is a huge industry supporting 35,000 jobs in Cumbria. The Lake District is the key to this success and to the 15 million visitors who come to this outstanding area every year. The NWDA is pleased to support the bid for World Heritage status which would not only preserve and enhance the Lake District but would secure significant economic benefits for the Northwest region.” Steven Broomhead, Chief Executive of the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) 81
