Allerdale Local Plan (Part 2): Site Allocations - Preferred Options
We are in the process of preparing a Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) that will form Part 2 of the Allerdale Local Plan. The Site Allocations DPD will identify sites necessary to meet the Borough’s development needs to 2029, as set out in the Strategic and Development Management Policies DPD (Allerdale Local Plan Part 1) .
Following the call for sites conducted at the end of 2013, and Issues and Options consultations undertaken in 2014 and 2015 , the council has now identified its Preferred Options sites - those sites we consider most appropriate to meet the development targets and Strategy set out in the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1).
These preferred sites are identified in the Preferred Options consultation document. Sites that the council has discarded during the site assessment and selection process are identified in the Discarded Sites documents prepared for each locality within the district, and revisions to the settlement boundaries of the towns and villages are addressed in the Settlement Boundary Review Technical Paper.
Preferred Options consultation
We consulted on the following documents from 27 January 2017 to 24 March 2017.
The Preferred Options consultation represented the main consultation opportunity for the community and other stakeholders to comment and influence the sites that the council has identified as being most suitable to allocate for development purposes, or designate for alternative uses, prior to submission to the Secretary of State for Examination. The consultation accords with the Town and Country (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, as set out in the Statement of Representations Procedure.
