Further planning guidance

When we grant planning permission and wish to impose requirements on development, this is normally secured by planning conditions.

Our policy and design criteria on shop front security measures.

This summarises our policy on replacement windows with particular reference to uPVC windows in historic properties.

New shop fronts or modifications to existing shop fronts should accommodate the needs of people with mobility or sight difficulties, elderly people, children and people with prams, buggies or shopping trolleys.

A design and access statement is a short report accompanying and supporting a planning application that should seek to explain and justify the proposal in a structured way.

This code of practice sets out the way we publicise planning applications (and supersedes our previous code of practice dated 2010). It also explains how you can comment on applications and the way in which these are considered.

There are other ways in which we seek to encourage greater community consultation in development proposals.

This guidance provides information on repairing, altering or extending listed buildings.

Previously the planning section adopted a number of supplementary planning guidance notes that related to policy in the Scarborough borough local plan (1999).
