Carlisle District Local Plan
The City Council adopted the Carlisle District Local Plan
2001-2016 at its meeting on the 9th September 2008. The Local Plan
is a "saved plan" under the provisions of the Planning and
Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Future work on the policies in this
Local Plan will be taken forward as part of the Council's
Local Development Scheme.
We have hard copies of the Local Plan to purchase (£38 + £4.50
P&P). This includes the Written Statement and Proposals
Map.
The Interactive
Proposals Map (external link) is now available online.
