Lake District National Park Partnership
A force for action
Key organisations that have a role in the Lake District National Park captured their enthusiasm to work together and make things happen. They formed the Lake District National Park Partnership.
Who is in it?
The Partnership is made up of representatives from the public, private, community and voluntary sectors.Their Lake District National Park Partnership Agreement (opens Document Library) explains more.
What makes it special?
Instead of placing all responsibility on us, the Partnership owns the Vision. They work to make it happen through their Management Plan which contains actions. We are a member of the Partnership, acting as an equal partner.
We have a well defined role to develop new planning policies which manage development in the National Park. These are contained in the Local Development Framework. Before the Partnership was formed, we asked all the individual organisations separately what they thought of new policies. There was often conflict. The Partnership now works together to resolve potential areas of conflict and find solutions.
The Partnership is the first in the English family of National Parks to come together in this way.
