Green/Open Spaces in Staveley & Ings - 2025

Thank you for your interest in this survey.

This survey is part of our Staveley with Ings Community Plan development it is funded by Westmorland and Furness Partnership Project.

The Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) will be consulting about their new Local Plan soon. This will be crucial in deciding any development in the village. National government policy is committed to increase housebuilding across the country which will include an increase in development inside the National Park. We want to be prepared to respond to the consultation so that we can ensure that we represent the views of all residents.

Once the Local Plan has designated areas for development (housing, amenity or employment) it will be hard, if not impossible, to shape future building in the village.

Make your view known by completing the survey and come to the drop-in on 18 March in the Institute between 5 and 7 pm.

There are 6 questions which should take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete.

And all completed entries (by midnight 30th March, 2025) will be entered into a PRIZE DRAW to win a £50 voucher to spend in local businesses.

Question Title

* 1. The last Local Plan designated some areas for development - Amenity, Housing, Employment and Recreation (link to map here)
Amenity Local Green Space — designation applies to land which makes a significant positive contribution to the visual amenity or character of a settlement and, or it provides opportunities for informal recreation (such as dog walking) by the local community. Not all Amenity Local Green Space is publicly accessible.
Recreation Local Green Spaces — designations are those areas which, based on evidence, are important locally because they provide needed formal recreation opportunities; examples of this designation includes football pitches and school playing fields.
Allocation for housing or employment identifies specific areas of land where LDNPA are confident in supporting development for particular purposes.
