Council-wide Plans
Neighbourhood Plan
The council does not have a neighbourhood plan. The work involved for this is considerable and can take several years. This need is reviewed by the council on a regular basis
If a plan were to be taken forward, input and support from the village would be needed.
Information for creating such a plan can be found here:
Government neighbourhood planning page
The City of York’s new local plan is still in progress, details can be found here:
