Selby Local Plan update - 26 February 2025
While extensive work on preparing the emerging Selby Local Plan and evidence base has been ongoing since 2019 and having reached revised publication stage in 2024, the council has resolved that work on the emerging Selby Local Plan is ceased.
You can view the agenda for the Full Council meeting on Wednesday 26 February 2025 at 10:30am here.
The reasons behind this decision are set out in the Executive report.

Due to the formal decision to discontinue the progression of the emerging Selby Local Plan, the draft allocations and policies no longer hold any status as part of an emerging development plan. Consequently, they would not be able to have weight attributed to them on the basis of being part of that process.
However, weight can still be accorded to the evidence base of an abandoned plan in circumstances where it is relevant.
As such, the evidence base documents are still available to view here.
Development plan for Selby area
The current relevant adopted development plan for the area, which will be used for development management purposes, comprises the saved policies of the adopted 2005 Selby District Local Plan and the 2013 Selby District Core Strategy.

Site promoters
While where possible, we can use the evidence base and work undertaken to date on the ceased Selby Local Plan to feed into the new Local Plan for North Yorkshire, we cannot automatically carry forward the draft allocations in the ceased plan into the new North Yorkshire Local Plan and we cannot assess sites previously submitted for the ceased Selby Local Plan.
If you have a site that was previously submitted for the ceased Selby Local Plan (or a new site) and wish to promote it for inclusion in the new North Yorkshire Local Plan, you must submit it through our ‘call for sites’ process to be assessed for potential allocation.
You can submit your site through our call for sites here.
