Plan Selby consultation
From today, you’ve got another chance to influence where development takes place in the Selby District between now and 2027. That’s because the Selby District Council is encouraging dialogue on its proposed PLAN Selby documents which will guide decisions by them later in the planning process.
The final PLAN Selby will set out where new business and housing growth could be supported over the next decade and beyond.
These conversations on PLAN Selby are part of a long-running process to put in place a framework to support new business investment and to help deliver new homes.
Anyone will be able comment on and talk about the ‘work in progress’ on PLAN Selby using information on Selby District Council’s website from 29 June for six weeks – until 10 August. Around 1,000 organisations and individuals have been informed of this engagement process, including all those who responded to the initial PLAN Selby consultation including Parish Councils, local groups and infrastructure bodies such as those responsible for highways, water and education provision.
A cross section of community interest groups and business groups will be invited to discuss Selby, Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster’s growth and regeneration at workshops in the market towns. Local community representatives are also being invited to workshops to discuss village growth and conservation.
Deputy Leader of the Council, Cllr John Mackman, explained, “PLAN Selby will enable us to push ahead with our work to support new business and housing investment in the district. At this stage, we are focusing on engaging with community interest and business groups from across the District.
“Ultimately PLAN Selby will give us the framework to support the future development that our District needs - opening up new business space and a range of sites for new homes for family groups and individuals.
“We have a lot of good things going for us here in the Selby District, and we believe we offer a great place to do business and to live and enjoy life. PLAN Selby will help us continue this in the years to come.”
The discussions will cover issues such as how growth should be distributed around the District’s ‘Designated Service Villages’, how town centres should develop and Green Belt issues resolved.
