In April 2007 the County Council completed a consultation about the first draft of its new plan for minerals and waste management developments. These draft policies and proposals were set out in four Preferred Options documents:-

• a Core Strategy that set out the overall strategy and vision of the plan; 
• Site Allocation Policies that identified proposed sites for waste management developments and Areas of Search for minerals; 
• Generic Development Control Policies that explained the types of policies that would be used in considering planning applications for minerals and waste management developments; 
• Preferred Options Maps that showed the sites that are identified in the Site Allocations Document and are intended as the basis for the Proposals Map Development Plan Document which will be prepared later.     

Copies of the documents are still available for inspection at County Offices, Kendal or click on the links below to view.

• Core Strategy Preferred Options February 2007 (PDF 640Kb)
• Site Allocations Preferred Options February 2007 (PDF 490Kb)
• Generic Development Control Preferred Options February 2007 (PDF 537Kb)

We are now consulting about a new document:  Changes to the Preferred Options Core Strategy.
