The preparation of a new local plan for the 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 the 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 Additional Sites Consultation follows the Preferred Options consultation which took place between January and March 2021 and set out the preferred spatial approach in terms of where development will be focussed and the draft policies which will be used to determine planning applications. The Preferred Options consultation was also the last opportunity for landowners to submit land for consideration for development in the local plan. 44 additional or amended sites were received during the consultation, which has now been assessed by us and we have put forward the sites we consider to be the most suitable amongst these as Preferred Sites. In order to ensure that these sites have been subject to the same level of scrutiny we are now asking your views on whether you think these new and amended sites are suitable for development. Your views will help us to reach final conclusions on the sites which will be allocated in the Publication version of the local plan.
We are not seeking comments on those sites which were previously included as part of the Local Plan Preferred Options consultation only the additional or amended sites. Neither are we asking for any more new sites.
