Planning and development
In this area there are two local authorities who have responsibility for planning and development. Harrogate Borough Council is responsible for most planning matters, other than transport and minerals and waste planning which are functions of North Yorkshire County Council.
Each authority prepares a Local Plan which provides strategic guidance about when and where development may take place.
Planning applications are then submitted by developers which are decided in accordance with the policies in the relevant Local PlanThe preparation of a Local Plan is conducted in stages. The Parish Council, along with other authorities and interested bodies and members of the public, are consulted on most stages. These consultations are considered at Parish Council meetings which are open to the public.
The Parish Council is also consulted on all planning applications which affect the parish, submitted to both Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council.
It is important to note that the Parish Council does not determine applications (it does not give planning permission) it is just a consultee. Applications are considered at Parish Council meetings.
