Richmondshire District Council
is the planning authority for the part of the district outside of
the National Park. This Area includes the towns of Richmond and
Leyburn, the large military base of Catterick Garrison and many
villages. As the planning authority the Council prepares a
Local Development Plan to guide future development to best meet
local needs.
Richmondshire Local Plan
The Richmondshire Local Plan
(1999-2006) is the current adopted Local Development Plan. It will
be replaced by the Local Development Framework.

Local Development
Framework
The Local Development Framework
(LDF) will be the new Development Plan designed to shape the places
and areas of the District outside of the Yorkshire Dales National
Park up to 2026. This aims to secure the best achievable
quality of life for all our communities, without wasting scarce
resources or spoiling the environment.
Latest LDF News : Directions of
Development Consultation
We recently consulted on some additional changes to
the LDF Core Strategy, including a new Core Policy CP14 (Sites
promotion and release). CP14 provides
criteria to judge the suitability of development proposals ahead of
formal site allocations. Preferred strategic directions for
development are proposed for Leyburn, the Garrison Area and
Richmond. The consultation period ran for 6 weeks from 16 September
2011.
