Following the creation of North Yorkshire Council in April 2023, we have a duty to prepare and adopt a local plan for the area. When adopted, this will replace the existing local plans.
You can find out about existing local plans on our planning policy in your local area page.
As we progress work on the plan, we will keep you up to date and let you know important information such as when consultation and engagement will take place and how you can have your say.
Following the launch of the government’s consultation on proposed changes to the National Planning Policy Framework and other changes to the planning system, it is necessary to take stock and understand the implications for the new Local Plan for North Yorkshire.
