Background / Decision Summary: On the 25th of October 2022 the Executive Member for Economy and Strategic Planning agreed a position of having significant objections to the allocation of a new settlement Heronby as proposed in the Selby Local Plan (Regulation 19 consultation). A formal objection was subsequently lodged on grounds related to transport, viability, and deliverability, and concerns about the impact on education provision within CYC were also identified. The response stated that the duty-to-cooperate had not been met due to lack of engagement between the authorities.
Officers have since engaged with Selby (now North Yorkshire) officers and through meetings and correspondence sought to explore the cross-boundary matters, particularly related to transport and highways impacts associated with the Heronby development. Many concerns remain unresolved.
The removal of the site allocation from the Selby Local Plan is therefore welcomed and it is necessary to confirm that the Council’s previously raised concerns are no longer relevant to this revised plan.
|

|
Options Considered: Option A – submit response confirming objection is withdrawn and that the Duty-to-Cooperate has now been met.
Option B – do no submit response.
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
Options Rejected: Option B rejected on the basis the Council would not fulfil its duty to cooperate: the statutory requirement to engage with other relevant authorities and bodies constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis for strategic planning matters. |

Consultation Process:
- Consultation on the publication draft Selby Local Plan, October 2022 - November 2022 onwards engagement with relevant officers at Selby and North Yorkshire councils - Consultation on the revised publication draft Selby Local Plan April 2024
