What is the Main Modifications Consultation?
The council submitted the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 2) to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government for examination in January 2019, and public hearings were held during May 2019 to assess the plan for legal compliance and soundness. As a result of representations received and following the public hearings a number of amendments are proposed to the plan.
The proposed changes are set out in the Schedule of Main Modifications. The Planning Inspector who conducted the hearings has asked that the Schedule of Main Modifications be subject to a six week period of consultation; all representations on the modifications will be forwarded to the Inspector who will consider them prior to issuing his report on the plan.
The council is now seeking representations on the Main Modifications and changes to the Policies Map only, and no other aspects of the plan. The associated updated Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment are also available as part of the consultation.

If you are seeking to make representations on the way in which the council has prepared the published Local Plan (Part 2), it is likely that your comments of support or objection will relate to a matter of legal compliance.
If it is the actual content on which you wish to support, or object to, it is likely that this will relate to the soundness of the plan and whether it is positively prepared, justified, effective or consistent with national policy. In relation to the current consultation, comments regarding the soundness should only be submitted where they relate to the proposed Main Modifications.
Positively prepared: This means that the Local Plan should be prepared based on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed development infrastructure requirements, including unmet requirements from neighbouring authorities where it is reasonable to do so and consistent with achieving sustainable development.
Justified:The Local Plan should be the most appropriate strategy when considered against reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence.
Effective: The Local Plan should be deliverable over its period and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities.
Consistent with national policy: The Local Plan should enable the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the NPPF.
