Sockbridge and Tirril Parish Neighbourhood Planning Area

Designation of Sockbridge and Tirril Neighbourhood Area

The first stage in developing a neighbourhood plan is to designate the 'neighbourhood area' that it will cover. A Neighbourhood Area application was received from Sockbridge and Tirril Parish Council on 23rd December 2024. After a six-week consultation period we designated the Sockbridge and Tirril Neighbourhood Planning Area on 29th May 2025. Sockbridge and Tirril Parish Council now have the right to produce their own Neighbourhood Plan or Neighbourhood Development Orders.

The Decision Notice is available for inspection at the following locations during normal opening hours:

  • Voreda House, Portland Place, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 7BF
  • Penrith Library, St Andrew’s Churchyard, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 7YA
  • Kendal Town Hall, Highgate, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 4ED
  • Barrow Town Hall, Duke Street, Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, LA14 2LD

Application for the Designation of a Neighbourhood Area

Sockbridge and Tirril Parish Council (as a qualifying body) have submitted an application for the designation of a Neighbourhood Area covering the whole of the parish.

The Council undertook a six week period of consultation on the application from 6 March 2025 to 17 April 2025.
