Langwathby Parish Neighbourhood Planning Area
Langwathby Parish Council previously carried out a Regulation 14 consultation from 13 October to 24 November 2014, see details below. The Parish Council submitted their neighbourhood plan under Regulation 15 on 26 June 2015, with the Regulation 16 consultation running until 10 August 2015, see details below.
A second Regulation 14 consultation closed on 29 September 2017, see details below. In October 2024, the Parish Council confirmed that they have ceased the neighbourhood planning process and currently have no intention to restart it.
Stage one - Neighbourhood Area Designation
The first stage when a community wants to carry out any form of Neighbourhood Planning is to name the 'Neighbourhood Area' which it will cover. We received a Neighbourhood Area application from Langwathby Parish Council on 27 May 2014. After a six-week consultation period we named the area on 17 July 2014. Langwathby Parish Council now has the right to produce their own Neighbourhood Plan, or Neighbourhood Development Orders.
Pre-Submission Consultation Draft
Before submitting their Plan, Langwathby Parish Council carried out the formal six-week consultation on the proposed final draft. This consultation finished on 24 November 2014.

Stage two - Neighbourhood Plan publication and consultation
Langwathby Parish Council submitted their Neighbourhood Plan proposal for formal consultation. The consultation period ran for a period of six weeks. The purpose of this stage was to allow interested parties to comment on the draft, with these comments forwarded on to an independent examiner who will review the draft Plan before recommending whether it should proceed to the referendum stage. If the Plan meets the 'basic conditions', there will be a referendum of voters in Langwathby Parish for a decision.
The consultation closed on Monday, 10 August 2015.

Langwathby Neighbourhood Plan 2015-2032 Public Consultation (August – September 2017)
The Langwathby Neighbourhood Plan 2015-2032 was open for public consultation (under Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012) for a period of six weeks. The purpose of the consultation was to bring revisions in the Plan proposal to the attention of people who live, work or carry out business in the neighbourhood area to seek comments on the proposed draft policies. The geographical area covered by the Plan (the ‘Neighbourhood Area’) is the same as the Langwathby Parish boundary and includes the villages of Langwathby and Edenhall, and all surrounding countryside within the Parish. The consultation closed on Friday, 29 September 2017.

Following this stage of consultation, the Parish Council will consider any comments received and decide whether, or not, it needs amendments made to the Plan before submitting it to us. We will publicise the Plan for a further six-week period (under Regulation 16) and arrangements made for the independent examination of the Plan. If the examiner approves the Plan, it will then be put to a local referendum. Once adopted, the Langwathby Neighbourhood Plan will become part of the statutory Local Development Plan for Eden and will constitute a material consideration in future planning matters in the Langwathby Parish area.
