Allerdale Council wants to hear from local people about a draft document which provides guidance on when developers are required to contribute to improve local infrastructure.
The Allerdale Local Plan - Part 1, was adopted in July 2014, and identified a need for an extra 5,471 houses and 54 hectares of employment land across the district between now and 2029.
That's all outside the National Park boundary, though, so Keswick and surrounding villages aren't included in the document.
The draft SPD, comments form and supporting documents can be found here.
The Consultation period will run until 4pm on Friday 4th March 2016.
Comments can be sent to localplan@allerdale.gov.uk or Francesca Robinson, Planning Policy Team, Allerdale Borough Council, Allerdale House, Workington, CA14 3YJ.
