| Infrastructure Deficit Report |
The Local Development Framework is underpinned by work on the Borough’s infrastructure. By “infrastructure” we mean the basic facilities, services, and installations needed to make Copeland work as a place to live, do business or visit. It falls into three broad categories: physical, such as roads and railways, drainage and energy supply systems - what many people would define as infrastructure; community infrastructure – schools, libraries, community centres, leisure, sports, cultural, health and police facilities; green infrastructure – parks and public open space, and also anything that contributes to or maintains biodiversity.
Development may increase pressure on aspects of infrastructure which are deficient or at capacity. Where this is the case, planning obligations can be imposed to make sure that developers contribute to work which mitigates the impact of the development. This might include, for example, improvements to road junctions to reduce traffic congestion, or the provision or improvement of open space and sports facilities. |

| Local Development Scheme |
The Local Development Scheme (LDS) is the formal work programme which sets out the documents that will be produced to form the Local Plan for Copeland (excluding the area within the Lake District National Park). It provides the starting point for the local community to find out what the current planning policies are for the area and sets out the programme for the preparation of Local Development Documents (LDDs) to replace existing Local Plan policies. The Council approved an updated Local Development Scheme in July 2022. |

| Local Plan 2021-2038 Examination Library |
The Examination Library shows all of the documents associated with the Copeland Local Plan 2021-2038 Examination. It begins with the submitted Local Plan (the Publication Draft and Addendum) and all associated assessments and evidence base that were used to inform their production. Published alongside this are the responses to the public consultation on the documents and the Council’s proposed modifications following this. The page will then be updated during the Examination to include questions from the Inspector and associated responses from the Council and others, details of the public Hearing sessions, and further documents that are produced during the Examination to enable the Inspector to determine whether the Local Plan is sound. |

| Planning Contributions SPD |
The Council has analysed Copeland’s infrastructure and is determining the priorities for improving it. (Infrastructure includes not only the physical infrastructure - such as transport, energy and water supply, drainage – but also social and environmental assets - such as sports facilities, community halls and open space). This SPD will set out those priorities as a basis for negotiating planning contributions from developers, so that new development helps to meet the impacts which it has on the Borough. The SPD will also inform negotiations with the developers of the proposed nuclear power station to secure the investment needed to make sure that benefits to the community of nuclear new build are optimised. The Council may decide to adopt a Community Infrastructure Levy, which would be a tariff potentially on all development. The SPD cannot do this and any proposal for a levy would be in a separate document subject to separate consultation and independent public examination. |

| Planning Policy Evidence Base |
In preparing the Local Development Framework we must ensure that the decisions it makes are supported by up-to-date evidence of the social, economic and environmental characteristics of Copeland. This evidence base is constantly being added to and will be updated as work progresses. |
