Selby new local plan

The new local plan is a vision and framework for the future growth of our district, identifying where new housing, employment and other development could take place. It also sets out the policies we'll use to decide on planning applications.

The preparation of a new local plan will help to ensure that we have a development plan for the whole district, in line with current national planning guidance which properly reflects its economic strategy and corporate priorities.

Timescales for preparation of the local plan

The local development scheme sets out the timescales for the preparation of the local plan.
