South Lakeland District Council has launched a further public consultation on the revised draft Cartmel Conservation Area Plan. Comments from the first consultation earlier this year (plus further work also being carried out) have resulted in changes to the draft plan. This means businesses, community groups, residents, and property owners now have another chance to share their views.
The draft plan proposes a number of properties being added to a 'local heritage list' aimed to further safeguard the village's heritage and character.
View the plan and have your say here before Thursday 22nd December or pop into Cartmel Priory or Cartmel Village Hall to see hard copies of the documents. ... See MoreSee Less
