Who are we?
North Yorkshire Council is a ‘data controller’ as defined by Article 4(7) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
The self-build and custom housebuilding act 2015 places a duty on councils to keep a register of individuals and community groups locally, who want to acquire land for self-build homes. This enables the council to gather the self and custom build data to understand the demand in the Hambleton district and ensure that provision is made for plots to be approved in the right areas to meet the demand.
The council has appointed Veritau to be its data protection officer. Their contact details are:
