In 2015 the Town Council approached the District Council to designate the area for a Neighbourhood Plan. The District Council approved the designation, and the Town Council are now working towards completing a NP.

The areas covered in Selby Town Neighbourhood Plan were:

Enhance the Green Space

Develop Cycle Paths

Provide Infrastructure including transport, trains and waterways

There was a questionnaire available in December 2016 to consult with the local community. The areas were Green Infrastructure – to include

  • Transport, trains, cycle paths and waterways
  • Green Space
The questionnaire is below for information. The responses were due back by 14 January 2017 and a report on the responses was completed and is below.
 
The responses to the consultation questionnaire were from a variety of ages, lots of teenagers aged 14-17. Improvement to Health & Well Being came through on the responses.
 
The second questionnaire is below for completion by Friday 21 July 2017. Once completed send it to admin@selbytowncouncil.co.uk or bring it in to the Town Hall office – Monday – Friday between 10am – 4pm.

A consultancy (Groundwork Yorkshire) have been appointed by the Town Council to provide admin support for this project. Locality provided £4,025 towards the initial consultation and admin costs. As the plan progresses more work will be needed and a Working Group has been appointed to look at the NP and ensure it meets the criteria set by DCLG and Selby District Council.
