Penrith Neighbourhood Plan Consultation Launched

Eden District Council has received a Neighbourhood Development Plan from Penrith Town Council.

A Neighbourhood Plan sets out a vision for a local area and contains policies on how land should be developed and used. Hundreds of plans are used across the country to help guide local development, by looking at specific local issues rather than larger, strategic ones.

The Penrith Neighbourhood Plan includes policies relating to sustainable design, the town’s conservation areas, housing, local green spaces, sport, leisure and recreation facilities, traffic management and town centre improvements, amongst others.

From Wednesday 23 September 2020 until Wednesday 4 November 2020, Eden District Council is consulting with and seeking comments from local residents, landowners, businesses and community groups on the Penrith Neighbourhood Plan.
