A plan setting out Allerdale’s building strategy for the coming years is set to be approved.
The borough council’s executive committee agreed the Local Plan Part 2, which is due to go to full council for consideration.
Tony Markley, executive member with responsibility for environmental services, said: “I welcome this policy document as it sets out land for housing, employment and other uses, but also designates green space land which is great for locals and our tourism industry.”
Marion Fitzgerald, executive member with responsibility for policy, governance and people resources said: “This is an excellent piece of work and I’d like to thank the staff who put it together but also everyone from the community who has contributed to it. It went for independent examination last year and it was found to be legally ‘sound’.
“There were a few minor modifications, which is quite normal. What was pleasing and is credit to those who devised the report is that no policy was struck out.”
