LDF Core Strategy

Local Development Framework

The Core Strategy is the key document in the Local Development Framework. It contains:

• our vision for how we want the National Park to look in the future
• strategic objectives we are setting to achieve this
• our development strategy

The Core Strategy contains policies that apply to the whole of the National Park and some that apply to particular areas of the National Park. It was formally adopted on 20 October 2010.

The Core Strategy Adoption Statement (Word document) provides details about the document, how and where it can be viewed.

Other policies

There are a number of saved policies from the Lake District National Park Local Plan, and the Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan. We have produced a Consolidated document of saved Lake District Local Plan and Joint Structure Plan Policies (PDF) to help explain the situation. These policies are still part of the Authority’s adopted Development Plan.
