Penrith Town Council has prepared a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for Penrith. The NDP sets out a vision for the future of the local area and planning policies which will be used to determine planning applications locally.

In accordance with Regulation 16 (External link) of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended), Eden District Council is now consulting with the wider community on the Penrith Neighbourhood Development Plan and its associated documents.

Why We Are Consulting

As the local planning authority, Eden District Council is required to consult on the plan before the examination takes place. Everyone (including residents, landowners and businesses) has six weeks from Wednesday 23 September 2020 to Wednesday 4 November 2020 to make representations on the plan with regard to the content and how it has been prepared. An independent examiner is being appointed and any representations will be passed on to them for consideration as part of the examination process.

Representations should address whether or not the Plan meets basic conditions and other matters that the examiner is required to consider as set out in Paragraph 8 (External link) of Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The Inspector can also address whether the referendum area. You can also make a request to put your case for a an oral hearing.
