Interactive Planning Search Website (the Website) - Terms of Use
The Development Control Teams of Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council (the Councils) manage planning applications related to 'County Matter' minerals, waste developments and other developments (with the latter sometimes including developments at schools, fire stations and other ex-Cumbria County Council assets).

It is not a complete database of all information held. Do not rely on information from this site as an alternative to traditional land searches such as Land Registry or Local Land Charge Searches or any other land search.
