Last Chance to Input into Scarborough Borough’s Local Plan

Friday, 13 January 2023 11:33

By Matthew Pells

Scarborough Borough Council has published a draft version of its Local Plan for consultation following recent review.

The plan covers policies and development allocations within the existing borough of Scarborough boundary, excluding the North York Moors National Park.

Although the Local Plan review will not progress beyond 1 April due to the creation of the single North Yorkshire Council, public views and comments on the draft will be used to inform a Local Plan for the new council that will cover all of North Yorkshire. For this reason, the council says public feedback remains "very important".

The consultation starts today (Friday 13 January) and ends on Friday 24 February.

The draft plan and supporting documents are available to view and comment on at scarborough.gov.uk/consultation. The council say that "this is a review and therefore much of the Local Plan remains unchanged"

Copies are also available at local libraries, Scarborough Customer First, Whitby harbour office and Filey Evron Centre.

The council’s planning colleagues will be available at the drop-in sessions below for anyone who would like to look at the plan, give feedback and ask questions:

•    Thursday 26 January, 2pm to 7pm – Filey Evron Centre (Rooms 21/22)
•    Thursday 2 February, 3pm to 7.30pm – Whitby Coliseum (Hopkinson Suite)
•    Thursday 9 February, 3.30pm to 7.30pm – The Street, Scarborough (Studio 2)

They are also offering online engagement sessions via Microsoft Teams or Zoom, or phone sessions, on Thursday 19 January and Thursday 16 February. Sessions can be booked in slots of 15 minutes between 10am and 7pm by email to localplan@scarborough.gov.uk or by calling 01723 232480.
