Coniston Parish is one of the Government's 'frontrunners' or pilot parishes, established in 2011 and tasked with preparing a neighbourhood plan. The designated area covers the whole parish. The proposed neighbourhood plan area was formally approved by the Authority on 26 February 2014. A working group has been established to prepare a neighbourhood plan. The pre-submission consultation on the draft neighbourhood plan took place for ten weeks ending on 30 November 2013. The neighbourhood plan proposal was submitted to the Authority on 25 March 2015. Representations on the proposal are welcome and must be submitted by 11 May 2015. Details on how to do this are available in the attachment named 'Regulations 16 notification' below.
