  • The Lake District
    The Lake District The Lake District has inspired poets and enchanted visitors to the area for centuries and that has helped validate its position as the UK’s most visited National Park. At the top of Skarfell in clear weather there are views over to Ireland and as far as Snowdonia in Wales. If making your way to the top of England’s highest peak doesn’t appeal to you then the beautiful lakes of Ullswater, Windermere and almost a hundred more bodies of water are sure to offer you plenty of opportunity for excitement or serenity. If you would like to experience some culture whilst in the area you could visit the Theatre by the Lake which runs a year round program of productions and has been called the most beautifully situated theatre in the country. Hill Top was Beatrix Potter’s home for 38 years and remains today much as it was when she lived there. Immerse yourself in the space and surroundings that helped inspire her to write the stories loved throughout.

  • Living Lakes
    Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders.
