Carlisle District Local PlanLocal Plan Front Cover

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.
