Local Plan Review

We are in the process of reviewing our Local Plan. This will ensure that planning policies are up-to-date and meet the development needs of local communities and the wider area, whilst reflecting national planning policy objectives.

Please see our Local Development Scheme for the timetable for this process.

Call for Sites

One of the first steps of the review is to establish what land is available in Ryedale. We have launched a two-month ‘Call for Sites’ to encourage landowners, developers and other organisation to suggest land that might be suitable for uses such as housing, commercial/business, retail and tourism.

The information we receive will help to shape the policy that will guide and determine future planning applications and detail the scale and distribution of new development in Ryedale through allocations in the Local Plan Review.

Submitting a site for consideration doesn’t mean that the site will be allocated. Decisions will be made through the Local Plan Review process, informed by detailed site assessment work and community and stakeholder engagement.

Please note that land must not be within the North York Moors National Park area of Ryedale, or concern minerals operations or waste matters, as these aspects are covered by a different Local Planning Authority.

The ‘Call for Sites’ consultation closes on 5 July 2021. We are only planning this one ‘Call for Sites’ exercise – so please submit your information before the closing date.

Please see the Call for Sites Frequently Asked Questions page (link below) for more information.

All sites need to be submitted using our Call for Sites online form(link below) by 5 July 2021.
