Paragraph No.
1.2.1
1.3 Do you consider the DM DPD to be sound?
Yes
1.5 Please give details of why you consider the DPD is not legally compliant or is unsound or fails to comply with the Duty to Cooperate. Please be as precise as possible.
If you wish to support the legal compliance or soundness of the DPD or its compliance with the Duty to Cooperate, please also use this box to set out your comments.
My comment follows on from the National Trust response submitted to your previous consultation, which said: “It would be helpful to have a plan showing the area to be covered by the DPD and in particular clarifying on the plan and in additional text the intentions in respect of that part of the District that is to be transferred to the LDNPA for planning purposes from 1 August 2016.”
I note that you have added Figure 1 (which shows the post August 2016 National Park boundaries) and also inserted some text into paragraphs 1.1.3 and 1.2.1, and these amendments are welcomed. However, I believe that some further small tweaks to the text would make the situation clearer. Paragraph 1.1.3 says that the DPD does not cover the extension areas of the National Parks, but paragraph 1.2.1 says that the DPD does cover the extension areas of the NPs, until they adopt their own DPDs that include the extensions.

Perhaps a diagram highlighting the extension areas alongside a clearer explanation would be of use. As a suggestion for the map, Cumbria County Council’s recently adopted Local Plan (September 2017) contains a map (Appendix 2) that clearly shows the old NP boundaries as well as the new extension areas.
