Planning

Planning applications are usually sent to the Parish Council for comment, and they are looked at during the Parish Council meetings, after which a response is sent to North Yorkshire Council. 

The plans, applications and all comments are posted on the Planning Section of North Yorkshire Council's website.   This information for Harrogate area applications can be viewed via the following link: Public Access section of Planning pages.

A Village Design Statement was agreed in 2006, and reviewed in 2016. North Yorkshire Council usually takes this into account when dealing with applications, although it is not compulsory. This is the Village Design Statement.
