Petition acknowledged 9/4/24. Action will be considered as part of a report to Executive on Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD’s) for the Local Plan in June 2024 |
Considered as part of the report to Executive regarding Prioritising Supplementary Planning Documents in September 2024. The decision did not prioritise a review of the HMO SPD but confirmed the necessary detail would be included in the Housing SPD. Policy for controlling the3 concentration of HMOs, including the thresholds, was examined as part of the Local Plan process. The approach was deemed to be sound in the Examiners report. Policy H8 Houses in Multiple Occupation was consequently adopted as part of the Local Plan in February 2025. Any review of the thresholds would be considered as part of a Local Plan Review.

Review by independent transport consultant commissioned |
The council has worked with the three Right to Challenge areas, business representatives and traders to set out a consultation and engagement plan to gather feedback about the cost of car-parking and the impact this is having. The council has commissioned an independent transport consultant to run the consultation, and will invite Scrutiny to review feedback. There are quarterly collated and published economic and footfall data, (with unfunded plans to collate transport data) to understand the impact on revenues and footfall and the impact on transport and climate change strategic objectives. This qualitative feedback and quantitive data will be used by the independent transport consultants to develop recommendations for Executive to review the charges, following Scrutiny review.
The council is reaching out to partners and collating business intelligence on this matter, including through its monthly meetings with business representatives at the York and North Yorkshire Business Intelligence meeting. It will use this to inform a proposal to lobby government to consider mitigation measures as a result of the NI changes.
ARUP are in the process of setting up an independent consultation exercise which will be carried out online, face to face and drop in. Co-ordinated with data analysis and to report back to Exec’ and scrutiny. |

The council cannot comment on capping the numbers of students as that is not in the council’s control. The council is currently working on the evidence base to support a planning policy approach in relation to student housing – we have student accommodation policies in the local plan regarding this and a report will be taken on student accommodation to an Executive Member. Plus, planning (Strategic and Development Management) are looking at the estates brief with the University which includes consideration of accommodation. |

Letter |
Letter sent 5/10/2025: Whilst the Council has no direct influence over the decisions made by North Yorkshire Police in respect of their establishment and structures, a close working relationship with them is crucial to our success in tackling crime and anti-social behaviour in the city. Discussions on police resources are held by Safer York Partnership and Senior Officers within CYC have also had similar discussions directly with the Area Commander and with Chief Officers in North Yorkshire Police. As you will be aware, significant Government Funding has been allocated to all 43 Police Forces to fund the uplift in officer numbers, particularly in Neighbourhood Policing Roles. North Yorkshire Police are in the process of recruitment and vetting for new officers to join the Neighbourhood Policing Teams and it is hoped that these additional officers will be in place in the New Year. If you require further information on this, you can contact North Yorkshire Police directly and they will provide you with further information |
