Selby District Local Plan - Additional Sites Consultation
Selby District Local Plan - Additional Sites Consultation Document: 2 August to 13 September 2021
Selby District Council is holding a six-week consultation from Monday 2 August until 5pm on Monday 13 September 2021 on the Selby District Local Plan - Additional Sites consultation document.
The Selby District Local Plan - Additional Sites consultation document sets out the sites submitted through the Selby District Local Plan Preferred Options consultation which took place between January and March 2021. The Preferred Options Consultation document set out the Council’s preferred spatial approach in terms of where development will be focussed and the draft policies which will be used to determine planning applications up to 2040. The Preferred Options consultation was also the last opportunity for landowners to submit land for consideration for development in the Local Plan. A total of 44 additional or amended sites were submitted for consideration as part of the consultation. These additional sites have been assessed with the Council’s site assessment methodology, and those additional sites considered to be the most suitable have been put forward as Preferred Sites.
To ensure that these additional and amended sites have been subject to the same level of scrutiny as those previously considered, we are now seeking your views on whether you agree with the assessments on these new and amended sites. Your views will help us to reach final conclusions on the sites which will be set out as allocations for development in the Publication version of the Local Plan, which will be consulted on early next year.
Please note 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 new sites.
