Site Allocation Policies: Closed Repeated Regulation 27 Consultation & Next Steps

Skip main menu

Repeated Regulation 27 Consultation on the Site Allocations Policies and Proposals Map (Autumn 2011)

The Minerals and Waste Development Framework’s Site Allocations Policies and Proposals Map identify the sites and areas of land that will be needed in Cumbria (outside the two National Parks) for working and safeguarding minerals and for managing waste over the period to 2020.

Between the 24 October 2011 and 05 December 2011 the County Council invited comments on the sites and areas of land that it currently intends to submit to the Secretary of State for consideration. This was a repeated consultation due to a successful legal challenge to the inclusion in Policy 7 of Site M12 (Roosecote sand and gravel quarry extension near Barrow-in-Furness) as an 'Area of Search' without a further round of consultations.

Now the consultation has closed, the County Council will take account of the comments received and decide whether the Site Allocations Policies and Proposals Map should be submitted to the Secretary of State or should be altered. If they are submitted the Planning Inspectorate will examine the documents for soundness. The Inspector's report on the examination and his recommendations will be binding on the County Council.

The proposed Site Allocations Policies and associated maps that were consulted on are published below for reference purposes. The Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessments of these proposals along with the Site Assessments Report are also provided as these are key supporting documents to the proposed policies.

Copies of the Proposals Map(s) which include the proposed Minerals Safeguarding and Consultation Areas, are also provided beneath the documentation. The proposed sites to be allocated are also incorporated into the Proposals Map. The Proposals Map is arranged in four parts and accompanied by eight magnified insert maps showing the proposed sites in their broader local context.

Paper or CD copies of the below documents can be obtained by contacting the Minerals and Waste Policy Team (whose contact details can be found at the bottom of this web page).
