Barrow Borough Local Plan - Previous Consultation Drafts

Barrow Borough Council is preparing a new Local Plan which will update and replace current local planning policy. The Plan will cover a period of 15 years, up to 2031, and will shape the future of the Borough through new planning policies. It will also allocate sites for development and protect important areas such as natural habitats and public open spaces. It is hoped that the Local Plan will be adopted in 2017. The Council produced an Issues and Options Draft Local Plan in September 2014, the responses received during consultation along with evidence base studies and supporting documentation informed the production of a Preferred Options Draft Local Plan. The second draft of the Local Plan, the Preferred Options Draft, was produced in June 2015, it set out what the Council thinks are the main issues facing the Borough, lists policies which have been formulated from a range of options put forward in the previous draft and identifies preferred sites to be allocated for development. Please find below the consultation documents for the Preferred Options Draft Local Plan, these were the subject of consultation in July and August 2015. We are currently preparing the next Draft of the Plan - the Publication Draft - and this will be available in summer 2016.
