Local Plan
“Welcome to my special webpage devoted to the City of York Council’s Local Plan and the proposals contained within it. Many of these proposals have been controversial to say the least and my views and my opposition to much of what has been proposed has been widely documented in the local media. However, in my role as the York Outer MP, I want to ensure that all of my constituents are equipped with the right information on everything that has been proposed in their area and how it may affect them.
“Since April 2013, when the initial draft Local Plan was first published, there have been two periods of consultation, firstly on the ‘Preferred Options’ proposals in June-July 2013 and then on the ‘Further Sites’ recommendations in June-July 2014. After reviewing the responses, the Council has now combined nearly all of the proposals from both documents and published their ‘Local Plan Publication Draft’ which almost represents their final position. It will be subject to a further consultation, expected to begin in mid-October, before being put to a vote at Full Council. If it makes it through this crucial vote, the Plan is likely to be submitted to the independent Planning Inspectors early in the New Year, who will scrutinise it through a public inquiry before making their own recommendations on whether or not the Plan can be adopted.
“In the meantime, I hope you find this page helpful and informative. The links are in descending order with those at the top relating to the most recent set of proposals (Publication Draft). It is worth noting that most of the links are still relevant, as the Plan has unfortunately changed very little since first being announced in April 2013.”
