Working With The National Park Authority

Welcome to the Windermere & Bowness Chamber of Trade "Working With The National Park" page.

"The Lake District National Park Authority wants to change and improve. It wants to engage more with the people that are the life blood of the National Park – particularly businesses. A new range of policies for development in the National Park (the Local Development Framework) will be created over the next 18 months."

Bob Sutcliffe, Community Development Manager - LDNPA. 


The Chamber of Trade has formed a 'partnership' with the Lake District National Park Authority for the purpose of getting information, particularly of a business nature, to a wider audience.

The views expressed in these Articles are not necessary those of the Windermere & Bowness Chamber of Trade and are provide for information only.

Review of planning policies

As you will know, the Lake District National Park Authority has worked with partner organisations to adopt a new vision for the National Park. A National Park where there will be a prosperous economy, world class visitor experiences and vibrant communities – and all sustaining the spectacular landscape. In order to realise this vision, we are therefore undertaking, what we hope will be, the most fundamental review of planning policies in over 50 years. The first stage includes looking in detail at all the issues and options for the policies which will guide development in the National Park. During Autumn 2006, the National Park Authority published a questionnaire about the issues and options and we are currently reviewing all the results. But its not too late to get involved. If you have comments or ideas mailto:adrian@agfbs.co.uk. You can simply email a question or comment to ldf@lake-district.gov.uk.

Go to the National Park Authority website to download all the documents and keep up with the latest news. You can also look at all the comments that have been made by people so far. www.lake-district.gov.uk/ldf

Join our Business Task Force!

When we said we wanted to work with local businesses, we meant business! So we set up a Business Task Force  - a group of businesses who represent all the different sectors working across the National Park. They met last year to give us their views and we are due to meet again in June. Click on the link below to look at the notes of the first meeting and contact Bob Sutcliffe if you want to get involved.
