Water Supply and WasteArea of special control for advertsRisk of Flooding from Surface WaterPrevious planning applicationsMain RiversRisk of Flooding from Rivers and SeaEnforcement noticesNutrient Neutrality CatchmentHawksheadGrade IIPolicy 07 Support - Historic environment
Nutrient neutrality catchment: Esthwaite Water Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Lake District National Park
The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
World heritage site: The English Lake District
Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Hawkshead conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
