23/04/2024 - To submit a response to consultation on Selby Local Plan Publication draft (2024)
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.
Decision: to submit a formal response to the Selby Local Plan
Consultation.
