Wednesday 5th February 10 am

The Allerdale Local Plan, on which many of you commented at the consultation stage, is currently being 'examined' by the Planning Inspector.  Following this, it will effectively be approved, approved with modifications or, and this is unlikely, thrown out.

Section S19 which addresses renewable energy developments in Allerdale is due to be discussed at Allerdale House, Workington (CA14 3YJ) on Wednesday 5^th February starting at 10.00 a.m.  It may continue until the afternoon.

 

Because of the number of representations on the proposals for renewable energy developments which were made during the consultation period, the Inspector has recognised that this is an area of interest to a significant number of people.  As a result of this she has booked the council chamber at Allerdale House for the session so that there will be room for members of the public to attend and observe the proceedings.

 

Whilst members of the public may not (this seems to be at the discretion of the Inspector) be able to speak at the examination, it would be wonderful if as many people as possible could attend the examination at some stage during the day so that the Inspector is under no illusions as to how much people care about this particular issue.  A good turnout would ensure this.

 

Please do come along, even if you can't stay for the whole proceedings.  Any time you can spare will be greatly appreciated.
