This privacy notice is designed to help you understand how and why North Yorkshire Council processes your personal data. This notice should be read in conjunction with our corporate privacy notice.
Who are we?
North Yorkshire Council is a ‘data controller’ as defined by Article 4(7) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
Section 106 (S106) agreements are legal agreements between local authorities and developers in relation to planning. When a planning application is determined to have an obligation to public open space, sport and recreation, the council administers the process of allocating S106 contributions towards community projects within the area of development to improve or enhance public open pace, sport and recreation in line with planning policy.
To access S106 funding allocations, parishes submit a public open space, sport and recreation action plan that identifies projects that are eligible to be funded by S106 monies. Each action plan is considered by the council’s cabinet for approval. If the action plan is approved and when S106 funds become available, funding is allocated to the projects in order of priority. This privacy notice is intended to explain how the personal data of applicants will be processed in relation to the project.
The council has appointed Veritau to be its Data Protection Officer. Their contact details are:
