Area Action Plans (DPD)

These are part of the Development Plan and are more detailed, covering smaller specific parts of the District where there is likely to be significant change, or conservation is needed. The Kendal Canal Head is the only such document proposed at the moment.

South Lakeland District Council is preparing a Kendal Canal Head Area Action Plan (AAP), which will form part of the South Lakeland Local Development Framework (LDF). The AAP will provide a planning framework for the regeneration of an area of Kendal between Canal Head and Change Bridge off Parkside Road, including the potential restoration of a section of the former Lancaster Canal. The AAP has developed from earlier work between the District Council, the North West Development Agency and the Lancaster Canal Restoration Partnership – including British Waterways, which has assisted with this consultation.

Kendal Canal Head Action Plan - Update October 2010

A revised Preferred Options document has been prepared by consultants Ove Arup. This is being considered by Cabinet on October 13th. It may be subject to minor changes and edits but is likely to form the basis of Preferred Options consultation later this year.
