Shopfront and Advertisement Design SPD

We adopted a Supplementary Planning Document on Shopfront and Advertisement Design on 26 October 2006. The SPD sets out guidance for the design of shopfronts and advertisements across the whole of Eden District that lies outside the Lake District National Park. The Council will use this SPD to determine planning applications.

You can download the SPD below. You can also download the Adoption Statement and a Statement prepared under Regulation 18 (4)(b) that outlines a summary of the comments we received during public consultation on the SPD and how we amended the final SPD as a result. Alternatively, paper copies of these documents are available to view at Alston, Appleby, Kirkby Stephen, Penrith and Shap. See the list of locations and opening times for viewing the LDF documents

The document can be made available in alternative formats upon request.
