Kendal Canal Head Area Action Plan
South Lakeland District Council is preparing a Kendal Canal
Head Area Action Plan (AAP), which will form part of the South
Lakeland Local Development Framework (LDF).
The AAP will provide a planning framework for
the regeneration of an area of Kendal between Canal Head and
Change Bridge off Parkside Road, including the potential
restoration of a section of the former Lancaster Canal. The
AAP has developed from earlier work between the District Council,
the North West Development Agency and the Lancaster Canal
Restoration Partnership – including British Waterways, which has
assisted with this consultation.
The 2010
Local Development Scheme,
as summarised in the
LDF Progress Check,
sets out a revised timetable for preparing the Area Action Plan.
The 2010 Local Development Scheme indicates that further
consultation on Preferred Options will commence in August 2010, to
take account of a further option put forward by Gilbert Gilkes and
Gordon and other landowners at Canal Head - see below.
Kendal Canal Head Action Plan - Update Oct 2010
A revised Preferred Options document has been prepared by
consultants Ove Arup. This is being considered by Cabinet on
October 13th. It may be subject to minor changes and edits but is
likely to form the basis of Preferred Options consultation later
this year.
Consultation on the AAP (Reg 25/Reg 26)
Public consultation on the AAP Issues and Options Report took
place in June/July 2007. The results of the
consultation have informed later stages of the development of
the AAP.
The Council consulted on the Kendal Canal Head AAP Preferred
Options report in April/May 2008. A summary of the main issues
arising from the Preferred Options consultation in April 2008 is
attached below.

Background Documents
Financial Appraisals - 4 Options pdf (PDF, 119 Kb)
Baseline Report with Diagrams (PDF, 16588 Kb)
The Issues and Options report (Annex A1, pages 56 to 62) sets
out the results of a financial model that indicates the likely
development value from options 2, 3 and 4 in the report and their
potential contribution to the cost of canal restoration
.
Option 1 is not included in the financial model because it is
essentially a 'no change' option.
The worksheets in the
Financial
Appraisal spreadsheet model the options at 3 different
densities of 'dwellings per hectare' (dph) – 60, 90 and 120 dph.
These assume that 30% of dwellings are provided as affordable
dwellings. The report also contains information assuming that 50%
of dwellings are affordable.
To obtain a development value based on 50% affordable housing,
this percentage can be entered in cells F8 and 9 on the first 9
worksheets. A PDF version of the spreadsheet is also downloadable
below.
The Total Investment figure is based on total costs, but
excluding the developers’ profit and infrastructure diversion
costs.
In the work to date, the financial model has been used to
assess the likely scale of investment and return, at a broad and
indicative level. While it contains helpful information to inform
the development and consultation on the report’s 4 options, it
remains one of many factors to consider in developing an Area
Action Plan for Kendal Canal Head.
The process of moving from options to the preferred option
will take heed of the result of the initial appraisal, but more
detailed appraisal will be undertaken as the preferred option is
developed. Later appraisals will also take account of latest
Council policy on (for example) affordable housing also the
emerging Local Development Framework.
NB: Where any references remain in the spreadsheet to Option
3b, this has been subsequently retitled in the AAP Issues and
Options Report as Option 4
