1. The Local Plan: Your Voice Matters

North Yorkshire Council is preparing the North Yorkshire Local Plan that will cover the area of North Yorkshire Council outside of the National Parks. 

 North Yorkshire Local Plan: Our First Conversation

This consultation is our first conversation on a new Local Plan for North Yorkshire. It is about the priorities and issues that the North Yorkshire Local Plan can help to address. The council is asking for your views on those local plan priorities and issues, what the places and spaces across the North Yorkshire Local Plan area will be like in the future and the how the new local plan can influence that.

We want to ensure that the Parish, City and Town Councils as well as the community including the public, interested groups and organisations, visitors, businesses, landowners, and developers are all involved.

The North Yorkshire Local Plan: Our First Conversation consultation runs to Tuesday 15 July 2025 .

You will receive an email (or letter for those without access to email) advising you when the first conversation consultation starts and providing you with information on how and where to view the documents and how to get involved.

Further information is available online on the North Yorkshire Local Plan page, www.northyorks.gov.uk/localplan
