Current planning policy

The Richmondshire Local Plan 2012-28: Core Strategy was adopted by us on 9 December 2014.

The statement of community involvement explains how we will engage with and involve people and organisations in preparing local planning documents and considering planning applications.

The community infrastructure levy (CIL) is a planning charge that we can levy on new developments in our area.

Supplementary planning documents (SPDs) provide additional guidance for implementing Local Plan policies.

The Localism Act gives local communities greater control over the development of their areas.

Our annual monitoring report (AMR) sets out progress on the preparation and delivery of the local plan.

The National Planning Policy Framework requires us to annually update a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years' worth of housing against our assessed housing requirements.

The purpose of this map is to display all of the sites that were submitted as part of the call for sites process undertaken by us in 2017, together with planning, environmental and archaeological constraints that will be taken into consideration when assessing site suitability.
