A Consultation September-October 2009

Cumbria Minerals and Waste Development Framework

Site Allocations Policies and Proposals Map

The Minerals and Waste Development Framework’s Site Allocations Policies and Proposals Map will identify the sites 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. 

The County Council consulted about sites in 2006 and 2007 but then postponed further work on them until the Framework’s Core Strategy had been through the examination process. That stage has been reached and work on identifying sites recommenced in February. 

An additional round of consultations was necessary because more sites were being considered and people needed the opportunity to comment on them.  The links below are to a summary of the County Council's draft list of the sites it prefers, the full site assessment report, and to maps showing sites.

Representations about the Site Allocations Policies and Proposals Map had to be received by Thursday 15th October 2009, so this consultation is now closed.
