The DPD will form part of both authorities’ Local Plans. It will identify sites for new housing and employment to meet local needs and will set out planning policies to ensure that development reflects the AONB designation. Following consultation on the Issues and Options for the DPD last year, we have now published for consultation a Draft DPD setting out the proposed sites for development or protection and planning policies for the AONB. We hope that the communities of the AONB and other key stakeholders will take part in the consultation to help inform the preparation of the final DPD. The Draft DPD, and other associated information can be viewed on either Councils’ websites at www.southlakeland.gov.uk or www.lancaster.gov.uk/planning/, on the Arnside & Silverdale AONB website www.arnsidesilverdaleaonb.org.uk/ and at the following locations, during normal opening hours: Arnside & Silverdale AONB Offices, The Old Station Building Arnside, LA5 0HG South Lakeland House, Lowther Street, Kendal, LA9 4DL Customer Service Centre, Town Hall, Marine Road East, Morecambe LA4 5AF Libraries in Arnside, Carnforth, Kendal and Milnthorpe The Silverdale Hotel, Shore Road, Silverdale LA5 0TP Comments and suggestions are invited between Thursday 10 November 2016 and 5pm Thursday 5 January 2017.
