On the 11th October 2018, Eden District Council approved the adoption of Eden Local Plan 2014-2032. This is the main planning policy document that will be used to determine planning applications in the District over the next 14 years.

The Council has been working on its Local Plan, since early 2013 and first submitted it to the Planning Inspectorate for approval in December 2015. Since then it has been through several public hearings and it has gone through a series of modifications.

The main focus for development will continue to be Penrith; however, there are now more opportunities for small-scale development in the villages.
