About the Issues and Options consultation
The Issues and Options is a very early stage of the Local Plan process. It seeks to identify ‘issues’ which we would like the plan to address based on the current situation and evidence and considers ‘options’ for how the Plan might seek to tackle these issues. The current consultation seeks your views on whether you agree or disagree with the issues we have identified, and whether there are any others you think we should also tackle.
We are currently inviting comments on the first stage of the Cumberland Local Plan. The Issues and Options consultation is your chance to tell us about any of the town planning issues and opportunities in your area. We are also welcoming your ideas regarding how planning policy might address them.
