Copeland's Planners among UK's best

Published: 21/06/2021

COPELAND Council has one of the highest planning application approval rates in the country – and credits its free pre-application advice service for this success.

The council approved 99 per cent of all planning applications it received in 2020/21. The team says that the preliminary discussions offered to agents and applicants ahead of an application being lodged helps to identify any significant issues that may stand in the way of planning permission being granted, and allows them to be resolved early in the process.

Council plans improvements to fathers' memorial area

Published: 18/06/2021

COPELAND Council is improving a green area created to commemorate fathers.

As Fathers’ Day approaches, Covid-19 restrictions mean the council is unable to hold any kind of service in honour of those dads who have passed away.

Instead, the area at Distington Hall Crematorium is to be planted with two new trees, and a flower border to define the area. The piece of land is adjacent to the car park and has a plaque to mark that it is there in memory of fathers. Family members often leave flowers at the spot or use it for a few moments’ contemplation.
