Lancaster District Local Plan

APPENDIX 4 - PREVIOUS LOCAL PLAN POLICIES

This section of the Local Plan looks at the Council's four previous local plans for Carnforth, Lancaster, the North Lancashire Green Belt and Morecambe and Heysham. It explains which of the policies are carried forward into the Lancaster District Local Plan and where they have been incorporated or modified. It also explains which policies have been omitted or dropped and why.

Policies have been dropped for a number of reasons such as where;

the proposals to which they relate have already been implemented;
they have become out of date due to changed circumstances, changes in central Government guidance and strategic planning policy;
they duplicate other policies;
they relate to issues outside the scope of a local plan under current Government guidance;
the Council has decided not to proceed with the proposals to which they relate;
they relate to matters of detail inappropriate in a District wide Local Plan which are better dealt with through the Development Control process or through Supplementary Planning Guidance;
they relate to matters for which other Council functions or other bodies such as Lancashire County Council have responsibility.

The policies of the four previous local plans are considered in detail below.
