Former Allerdale Borough Council website

This is the old website for the former Allerdale Borough Council which became Cumberland Council on 1 April 2023. We are currently in the process of moving content from this website to the Cumberland Council website so that it is all in one place. You may therefore notice that old pages you are used to using on this site, are being redirected to the Cumberland Council site. This former Allerdale Borough Council website will be switched off from 1 April 2025.

Local Plan - Submission

The Allerdale Local Plan (part 2) was submitted to the Minister for Housing, Communities and Local Government on 18 January 2019

The Allerdale Local Plan (part 2) will form part of the Local Plan, for the area of the Borough outside the National Park, alongside the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) which was adopted in 2014. It identifies sites and policies necessary to meet the Borough’s development needs to 2029.

Statement of Fact

The Local Plan will now be subject to an independent examination to be conducted by the Planning Inspectorate. The examination is a continuous process running from submission through to the receipt of the Inspector’s report. Part of the process will involve hearing sessions where those invited to attend, will have the opportunity to respond to matters raised by the Inspector. Once information on the hearing sessions is confirmed all details relating to the examination process will be advertised, made available online and sent to all those that made representations to the Local Plan.

All the examination documents can be viewed in the examination library.

The government's Planning Inspector issued his final report and recommended modifications to the council on 9 January 2020, which marks the end of his independent examination of the submitted plan. The Full Council will now need to consider the plan for adoption.
