Challenge 3- The UKs Landscape Challenges
Sustainable Management in the Lake District
Footpaths
managed by stone pitching or soil inversion
Economically- most of the work is conducted by volunteers which saves costs
Socially- volunteers feel connection to landscape
Environmentally- if footpath erosion occurs, vegetation is damaged. Protecting this vegetation by repairing the path
Holiday Homes
Managed by local occupancy clause, in order to buy a house people must prove they're working in the area
Environmentally- less people driving into the lake district
Socially- keeps people living in the area and this will maintain local services
Economically- houses are still bought and sold
Traffic Congestion
Economically- jobs were created in doing this work
Socially- health benefits from cycling
Managed by creation of cycle lanes, electric car charging points, new bus services
Environmentally- 7.8% reduction in carbon emissions
flood plains
increasing impermeable surfaces- water gets to river more quickly so river will flood
climate change- as the temperature increases evaporation will also increase causing a increase in rainfall, this will increase the risk of flooding. climate change can also increase the amount of extreme weather. more storms means more rain so flood risk will increase
building on floodplains- will increase the risk because there is a higher chance of flooding
Sea Walls
hard engineering
advantages
creates promenade, very effective
disadvatages
water can get trapped at the top very expensive, ugly restricts access to the beach 100,000 per m2
wall to stop waves from flooding, built at foot of cliffs or top of beach
Managed retreat
soft engineering
advantages
salt marshes are effective at arbsorbing waves energy, creates habitat for birds and animals can attract tourists
disadvatages
land is being lost to the sea, loss of coastal communities, salt marshes can be easily eroded, sea level rise when the level of movement is not sufficient
houses next to the coasts are knocked down and re-built further inland, area in front of the new houses is allowed to become a salt marsh which will absorb energy
