Draft Neighbourhood Plan Documentation

Below you can find the revised Draft Neighbourhood Development Plan which has been submitted to Eden District Council so that they can carry out the Regulation 16 Consultation.  Following the previous consultation, the Neighbourhood Plan Group considered all the comments and amendments have been made.  The PNDP was approved unanimously  by Council on 23rd September 2019 with the re-insertion of a number of green spaces and sports, leisure and recreation facilities which the public felt were important to the town.

After listening to comments made during the previous consultation, we have split the document up so you can just access the section that you are interested in. If all you want to look at are the draft policies go to Section 6 below – All policies
