The Ryedale Plan: Local Plan Strategy. Implications of the
release of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The District Council published the Ryedale Plan for consultation
on the 25th January 2012. Since the consultation period ended on
the 9th March, the Government has issued new national planning
policy. This is called the National Planning Policy Framework
(NPPF).
The Ryedale Plan will need to be submitted to the Government for
independent examination and scrutiny. Key elements of this process
are to check that the Plan has been produced in a way which meets
legal requirements and to ensure that it is consistent with
national planning policy. Therefore, before the Council formally
submits the Plan, it is undertaking a further period of
consultation. This is to enable anyone with an interest to make
representations on the implications that new national policy might
have on the Ryedale Plan as published.
At this stage we are only looking for comments which you may
wish to make as a direct result of changes to national policy. Any
wider comments made will not be submitted along with the Plan for
consideration as part of the examination process.
Therefore, if you did not make comments on the Plan during the
January to March consultation, you should only make them now, if
you believe that any change in national policy affects the Ryedale
Plan to such an extent that it compels you to make a comment at
this stage.
Similarly, if you are someone who made representations when the
Plan was published you should only make further representations if
you believe that new national policy has changed to the extent that
this has further implications for the soundness of the Ryedale
Plan. You do not have to repeat any representations you have
already made if these related to consistency with national policy
which is unchanged by the NPPF.
The District Council has considered the NPPF carefully and is of
the view that the document has limited implications for the Ryedale
Plan. It is considered that a limited number of relatively minor
changes to specific areas of the Plan would enhance its alignment
with new national policy. These are included in a schedule which
the District Council has prepared and your views on these proposed
changes are sought as part of this new consultation.
The published version of the Ryedale Plan and the schedule
referred to above are available to view on the Council’s web-site:
