Allithwaite and Cartmel Neighbourhood Plan
Last Updated: 3 May 2023
Following designation of the Allithwaite and Cartmel Neighbourhood Area in October 2014, Allithwaite and Cartmel Parish Council formally submitted their Neighbourhood Plan to South Lakeland District Council, under Regulation 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. Note that from 1 April 2023 South Lakeland District Council was superseded by Westmorland and Furness Council.
Following consultation on the submission version of the Neighbourhood Plan (between 2 February and 16 March 2023), Independent Examiner, Mr John R Mattocks, BSc DipTP MRTPI FRGS has been appointed to consider whether the proposed Neighbourhood Plan meets certain basic conditions set out in law.
If the examination concludes that the Neighbourhood Plan is satisfactory, with modifications if necessary, the relevant Local Authority will arrange for a referendum to take place. Anybody registered to vote in the area covered by the Neighbourhood Plan will be entitled to vote. If more than 50% of those voting vote 'yes' then the Plan will be put into force.
