Sherburn in Elmet Neighbourhood
Development Plan - is an initiative led by the
Town Council to determine new planning policies which will carry legal and
statutory weight. From economic
development, to conservation and heritage and, of course, new homes; this Plan
will be an essential building block for the future of the town – working
alongside North Yorkshire Council as they prepare their own Local Plan.
At a meeting of the Town Council on 19th January 2024, the Council agreed to apply to North Yorkshire Council for Sherburn to be a designated Neighbourhood Area. This is the very first step in creating a Neighbourhood Development Plan. An application has been submitted to North Yorkshire Council (the Local Planning Authority). The application has to go through a consultation phase in the same way as a planning application and the Council should hear by April 2024. The Council has also made a successful grant application to Locality and received their first tranche of funding to progress the partnership working with the agreed NDP Consultants: Mike Dando and David Gluck.
Neighbourhood Area Designation - On the 6th June 2024, the Council were officially granted consent for the parish to be a designated Neighbourhood Area by North Yorkshire Council. The recommendation report can be found below.

NDP Roadmap
Neighbourhood Planning Guidance - A Guide for Local Communities (SDC)
The NDP
sets out the planning vision for our local community through to 2040. It will address what makes Sherburn in Elmet
Town unique today, whilst setting out how we can nurture and enhance our rural environment
in the future. An NDP is the most local
part of the planning hierarchy. When
adopted, the NDP forms statutory guidance to County planning officers when making
local planning decisions. It will sit
alongside the Selby Local Plan (once adopted), the North Yorkshire Plan and National
Government planning policy and targets.
The NDP covers the area of Sherburn in Elmet parish boundary. Over the next 18 months to two years, the Town Council have created and will coordinate a working group (the NDP Steering Group Committee), supported by external consultants to develop the plan. The project has so far, and will be funded by a series of central government grants.
