Here's background info on this consultation, sent in by one of our readers:

SOUTH LAKELAND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

LAND ALLOCATIONS - CONSULTATION ON EMERGING OPTIONS

South Lakeland District Council is consulting widely from 21 January to 15 April 2011 on its suggestions, and seeking community views, on new sites for homes, jobs and community facilities, to meet the needs of communities in South Lakeland (outside the National Parks) to 2025. The consultation is being publicised widely and includes a series of consultation ‘drop-in’ days when you can discuss and share views with Council Officers.

This is an important opportunity for local communities to consider not only the District Council’s site suggestions but also to comment on other sites not suggested - or indeed to put forward new sites and ideas not previously looked at. We hope you can take time to consider the suggestions and let us have your comments by Friday 15 April 2011.  The Council will consider all comments before preparing a final draft plan. When this is published, everyone will again have opportunity to make representations. These will be considered by an independent Inspector when assessing the ‘soundness’ of the document.

Full details of the proposals and how you can let us have your views are on the Council’s website at www.southlakeland.gov.uk/landallocations  and also to inspect at South Lakeland House (Kendal), Ulverston Town Hall and libraries at Arnside, Grange over Sands, Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale, Milnthorpe and Ulverston.  We can also provide information on CD or paper on request.

Please make your response on-line if possible as this will save admin costs, but you may also complete the form and email it to us at developmentplans@southlakeland.gov.uk  or post it to Development Plans Manager, SLDC, South Lakeland House, Lowther Street, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 4DL.  All responses will be made available to view on-line (with signatures and addresses removed) and therefore cannot be treated as confidential. Responses will not be acknowledged individually, except on request.

In responding, please also let us know if you wish to be informed when the Land Allocations document is submitted to the Secretary of State for independent examination.

If your contact details are incorrect, or you do not wish to be consulted in future on the Land Allocations, or if you have any other queries, then please contact us on 01539 717490 or email developmentplans@southlakeland.gov.uk

Yours sincerely

Dan Hudson

Development Strategy Manager
