The consultation opened on Monday 19 May and will run until midnight on Tuesday 15 July.

 

This consultation is our first conversation on a new local plan for North Yorkshire. It is about the priorities and issues that the North Yorkshire Local Plan can help to address, and we are asking for views on those local plan priorities and issues, what the places and spaces across the North Yorkshire Local Plan area will be like in the future and the how the new local plan can influence that.

 

The consultation is being hosted on the Planning Policy Planning Policy Consultation Portal which can be accessed via the website The North Yorkshire Local Plan | North Yorkshire Council or through the current consultations page Current consultations | North Yorkshire Council . Following feedback we have updated the portal to ensure it is more accessible including embedding the link to the document and the how to complete a submission help video, within the first page.

 

Here the North Yorkshire Local Plan: our first conversation can be viewed either on the portal or the pdf downloaded to view or print off. 

 

Along with the consultation document there are the background/evidence-based documents

• Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment
• Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper

 

There is also the supporting information

• What you need to know (FAQs)
• How to Respond
• Plan on a Page

 

While we encourage comments to be submitted by the portal, we will also accept comments via email and post.

 

In addition to the first conversation, we are consulting on the Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report.  The Sustainability Appraisal is a systematic tool used to assess the relative sustainability of a plan/policy or project. 

 

Physical copies of the consultation documents, the North Yorkshire Local Plan: our first conversation and the Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report are available to view in the Council offices and libraries across North Yorkshire (excluding those in the National Parks who have their own local plans).

OFFICIAL - SENSITIVE

From 23 June the new harmonised approach to waste and recycling services will roll out across the former Ryedale area.

Re: Residential Waste & Recycling

From this date, the blue lidded wheelie bin is to be used for paper and card and the red lidded bin for other recyclable materials, including glass, cans, plastics and cartons.

 

All properties will have received an information pack – which will include a letter and leaflet, that will detail information about when the new recycling collections will start, what the bins should be used for, as well as a possible new collection day for residents.

 

This model of collection already takes place in the Selby area and allows us to increase the amount and quality of recycling collected at the kerbside, reduce the cost of collection, and helps towards carbon reduction. Separating the recycling improves the quality of material, reduces processing costs, and generates a higher value when it is processed. It also cuts the amount of manual lifting for both the crews and residents, as well as reducing the risk of recycling blowing around on a windy day.

 

Further information can be found at www.northyorks.gov.uk/right-thing-right-bin which also lists events where residents can find out more.

 

Re: Commercial Waste 

The commercial waste collection day will change from Monday to Tuesday. Please note that the frequency of collections will remain the same.

 

For guidance on what can be placed in your general waste bin, please visit: https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/bins-recycling-and-waste/what-goes-your-bin

 

If your waste is not collected as above, please contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 131 2 131. When calling, please state “Commercial Waste” and have your account number ready.

 

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we implement these improvements to your waste collection service.

 

Kind regards,

Commercial Waste Team
