The Local Plan sets out the long term vision for the future of Richmondshire over the next 21 years. It shows how and where land can be developed to meet the growing needs of local people and businesses up to 2039. It does not include development or land within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
It aims to address needs and opportunities in relation to housing, the economy, community facilities and infrastructure as well as conserving and enhancing the natural and historic environment, provide greater resilience to climate change, and create well-designed places where people enjoy living.
The Preferred Options Local Plan is the second stage in the production of the new Local Plan. This is the second opportunity for residents, businesses and other interested parties to help plan the district’s future.
The full consultation document is available for inspection on our Preferred options page and at the Council’s Community Offices in Richmond, Colburn and Leyburn.
Views on the Preferred Local Plan should be sent to the council by 9 July 2021 by:
- completing the forms available on our Preferred options web page and returning by e-mail or post
- e-mailing localplan@richmondshire.gov.uk
- writing to Planning Policy, Richmondshire District Council, Mercury House, Station Road, Richmond, DL10 4JX
