Whitby Business Park AAP
Responsibility for planning at Whitby Business Park lies with both ourselves and the National Park Authority as the national park boundary runs through the site. In order to provide a consistent and long term plan for the site, a joint area action plan has been adopted by the two authorities.
The plan sets out how the business park will be developed over the period to 2026. It includes proposals to improve and expand the existing site to accommodate new businesses and sets out highway, infrastructure and environmental improvements. The area covered is the existing built up area of the business park together with the land allocated for expansion and the area falls within the local planning authority areas of both ourselves and the National Park Authority.
In accordance with government guidance, both Authorities considered whether the AAP required reviewing in late 2019. Both ourselves and the National Park Authority concluded that a review was not required at this time.
If you have any queries in relation to the AAP please contact the policy team at the National Park Authority on 01439 772700 or contact us.
