It will cover the period to 2030. The documents produced will include a minerals and waste joint plan plus site allocations and development management policies document.
The proposed structure of the North Yorkshire minerals and waste plan and a brief summary of the documents it will contain is shown below.
Minerals and waste joint plan
The minerals and waste joint plan will provide the main strategic element of the North Yorkshire minerals and waste plan and may include strategic allocations for minerals and waste development and strategic development management policies. It is being produced jointly with the City of York and North York Moors National Park.
Site allocations and development management policies document
This document will provide details of other site allocations and more detailed development management policies. This document will be produced by North Yorkshire County Council only.
Proposals map
This map will show relevant policies and proposals on an ordnance survey map base which will cover the extent of the North Yorkshire plan area.
Minerals and waste development scheme
The latest version of the minerals and waste development scheme document sets out a summary project plan for the preparation of the minerals and waste plan. The scheme has recently been revised and sets out the key milestones of the preparation of a joint minerals and waste strategic plan with York City Council and the North York Moors National Park. The minerals and waste development scheme focuses on the North Yorkshire County Council plan area. York City Council and the North York Moors National Park will produce their own development schemes. You can view the previous version of the minerals and waste development scheme document above.
Authority's monitoring report
The authority monitoring report reports annually on the implementation of the minerals and waste development scheme and the success with which the adopted policies are implemented. They are published towards the end of each calendar year.
An authority's monitoring report feedback form (doc / 29 KB) is available to allow you to submit comments relating to the authority's monitoring report.
Statement of community involvement
Community involvement is an important part of the planning process. The statement of community involvement explains what we will do to involve people in preparing new minerals and waste related policy and explains how you can find out more and make your views known. It also explains how you can get involved in determining planning applications for minerals and waste and other forms of development which we have a responsibility to plan for (such as development at schools and other council operational development, including roads).
