Big step forward for Local Plan
Published: 28/09/2022
COPELAND Council has submitted the Local Plan to the Secretary of State for a Public Examination.
The examination process, which will be led by a Planning Inspector, will consider the proposed Local Plan, and all supporting evidence including assessments, and responses to public consultations. It will determine whether the Local Plan is legally compliant and sound - and make recommendations if needed.
Once the examination process is completed, it is hoped that the Local Plan will be adopted in mid to late 2023 - guiding development and investment in the borough until 2038.
