SOUTH LAKELAND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (LDF)
KENDAL CANAL HEAD AREA ACTION PLAN
CONSULTATION ON ISSUES AND OPTIONS REPORT (Reg 25)

South Lakeland District Council (SLDC) is preparing a Kendal Canal Head Area Action Plan (AAP), which will form part of the South Lakeland Local Development Framework (LDF).

The AAP will provide a planning framework for the regeneration of an area of Kendal between Canal Head and Change Bridge off Parkside Road, including the potential restoration of a section of the former Lancaster Canal. The AAP has developed from earlier work between the District Council, the North West Development Agency and the Lancaster Canal Restoration Partnership – including British Waterways, which has assisted with this consultation.

SLDC are now seeking your views on the AAP Issues and Options Report by noon on Friday 13 July 2007. The results of the consultation will inform later stages of the development of the AAP, the timetable for which is set out in the Council’s Local Development Scheme.

The Issues and Options Report and comment form can be viewed and downloaded from the Council’s website www.southlakeland.gov.uk/ldf  where a Baseline Report is also available for information. SLDC would particularly welcome your comments using the online comment form, accessed via the website. This will give you, or remind you of, your username and password if necessary. You may also return the comment form by email to developmentplans@southlakeland.gov.uk  or by post to the above address.

The Issues and Options report and comment forms are also available for inspection at South Lakeland House in Kendal, Ulverston Town Hall, and at libraries in Kendal, Ulverston, Arnside, Grange over Sands, Kirkby Lonsdale and Milnthorpe.

A public exhibition will be held in Kendal Town Hall on Tuesday 19 June 2007 between 12 noon and 8pm, with two presentations at 4pm and 6.30pm. The display will also be on view at the following locations in Kendal:

  • South Lakeland House between 4 June and 15 June 2007,
  • Westmorland Shopping Centre between 18 June and 29 June 2007,
  • Kendal Library between 2 July and 13 July 2007.
