Selby District Local Plan consultation
published on 29th Jan 2021 (updated on 17th Feb 2021)
Preferred Options Consultation on the Selby District Local Plan: 29 January to 12 March 2021
Reminder: 3 weeks left to respond
Please see the note below from Selby District Council regarding an important consultation on the new Local Plan for Selby District.
Part of this includes an evaluation of potential sites for new housing. The consultation includes five potential sites in Escrick Parish. Four bordering on the village, which are not recommended for development, and one south of Cawood Road for a potential new settlement.
The Parish Council encourages residents to take part in the consultation. We encourage residents to submit their comments directly to Selby District Council as outlined below, but would also welcome you to additionally send comments to comments@escrick.org (by 28th February) so that the Parish Council can use local opinion to support its response.
We believe that there are also plans for a specific public meeting by one of the landowners to share further details of their proposals. We will share details of that event if/when we receive them.
From Selby District Council:
Selby District Council is holding a six week consultation from Friday 29 January until 5pm on 12 March 2021 on the Local Plan Preferred Options document.
The preparation of a new Local Plan for Selby District provides the opportunity to consider what sort of place we would like Selby to be in 2040. The plan will set out a vision and framework for future growth of the District, identifying where new housing, employment and other development will be located. The Local Plan will also set out policies which the Council will use to determine planning applications and, once adopted, will replace the Selby District Core Strategy Local Plan (2013) and those policies that have been ‘saved’ from the Selby District Local Plan (2005).
The Preferred Options consultation builds on the previous Issues and Options consultation which we undertook in early 2020, taking into account the comments made at this stage. Copies of comments received at the last consultation stage, along with the Council’s response, can be found here.
The Preferred Options document sets out preferred sites for housing and employment development, along with draft policies for guiding development. It is important to note that this is not the final stage of the plan, however it provides an indication of our preferred approach at this stage and your views and comments will be important in shaping the final document.
Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, we are hosting two virtual public meetings. The purpose of these sessions will be to provide information about the Local Plan including the proposed “preferred” sites. These sessions will also provide members of the public with a chance to ask questions.
