North Yorkshire launches 20-year local plan consultation

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

North Yorkshire Council has launched a six-week consultation on a 20-year local plan for housing, jobs, infrastructure and environment until 2045.

North Yorkshire Council launched a six-week consultation on Monday, October 26, on a countywide plan under the Government's updated planning system. The plan will guide housing, jobs, infrastructure and environmental protection until 2045, replacing plans previously drawn up by the former district and borough councils.

The council is inviting residents, businesses, community groups and organisations to help shape the plan. Cllr Mark Crane, deputy leader of North Yorkshire Council, said the local plan will 'play a crucial role in setting out where we feel planned, coordinated and sustainable development should take place across North Yorkshire for years to come' and will 'influence where new homes, jobs and services are located, how we protect our environment, support our economy and create thriving, sustainable communities'.

This is the first of three formal consultations planned as the plan develops. The Government's planning system introduced in March emphasises online engagement, accessibility and standardised data. A previous 'first conversation' consultation gathered views on the plan's key issues and options, and the council will still use feedback from that earlier consultation even though it must restart the process under the revised national system.
