Cumbria County Council is the Minerals and Waste Planning Authority for the area of Cumbria outside of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks. It is only responsible for dealing with all planning applications for minerals and waste related development, as well as deciding planning applications for the County Council's own developments such as schools, offices and highway depots. Applications for Listed Building Consent for County Council property are also dealt with by the County Council's Development Control team. Applications for all other types of development outside the National Parks are dealt with by the six district councils.
The Development Control Team is responsible for monitoring minerals, waste and County Council developments to ensure compliance with planning permissions and for taking enforcement action against unauthorised minerals and waste developments outside the National Parks.
