About this consultation

On the 1 April 2023 Selby District Council ceased to exist and the former area became part of a new North Yorkshire Council (as established through the North Yorkshire (Structural Changes) Order 2022). A new Local Plan will be prepared for the new North Yorkshire Council to cover the new geography of the whole of North Yorkshire (outside the National Parks), however given the advanced stage in its preparation the Local Plan for the former Selby district area will continue. The decision to proceed with the this Local Plan for the former Selby district area was approved by North Yorkshire Council on 23 February 2023 and 21 February 2024. The 'Plan Area' for this Selby Local Plan is defined as the former Local Planning Authority area which is contiguous with the former Selby District Council administrative boundary, as shown on the Policies Map. The Local Plan sets out the Council's spatial approach for new growth up to 2040 and the policies which will be used for decision making in the former Selby district Local Planning Authority area. Once adopted the Selby Local Plan will replace the existing Selby District Core Strategy Local Plan (2013) and the saved policies of the Selby District Local Plan (2005) for the Plan Area covering the former Selby District area.

Amend the first sentence to read:

“In order to make the former Selby district area a great place to live and enjoy, all new development should be well designed and beautiful, responding positively to the special character and local distinctiveness of the area. In order to achieve this all new development should seek to reflect national and local policies and guidance which promotes high-quality design including the National Design Guide, National Model Design Code, local design codes, Neighbourhood Plans, Conservation Area Appraisals and Village Design Statements”

SG9

Add new para after para 4.42:

Paragraph 134 (National Planning Policy Framework 2023) says that design guides and codes can be prepared at an area-wide, neighbourhood or site specific scale. All guides and codes should be based on effective community engagement and reflect local aspirations for the development of their area, taking into account the guidance contained in the National Design Guide and the National Model Design Code. These national documents should be used to guide decisions on applications in the absence of locally produced design guides or design codes.

SG10

The Policy criteria should be considered for all energy proposals and will need to be scoped out if not relevant. The level of information required in support of a planning application should be proportionate to the scale of the proposal and likely impact. Where wind turbines may have the potential to impact on the bird populations associated with the internationally important nature conservation areas of the Lower Derwent Valley and Skipwith Common (RAMSAR, Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protection Area (SPA)) for example, Habitat Regulations Assessments are likely to be appropriate. when Considerations of potential impacts should encompass infrastructure and transport network implications, this should consider impacts of the construction phase and delivery of components/materials, the operational phase including any hazards such as toppling distances for wind turbines, electrical interference or disruption and safety for low-flying planes and the decommissioning phase. Appropriate organisation and bodies should be consulted by the applicant and there should be no significant decrease in the quality of existing provision of these facilities and services or a clear delivery and monitoring plan of how they will be mitigated. Where wind turbines may have the potential to impact on the bird populations associated with the internationally important nature conservation areas of the Lower Derwent Valley and Skipwith Common (Ramsar, Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protection Area (SPA)) for example, Habitats Regulations Assessments are likely to be appropriate.

The visitor economy is a priority growth area for the Selby District Economic Development Framework recognised for its importance in the North Yorkshire Economic Growth Strategy 2024-2029 and  the Selby District Visitor Economy Strategy (2018-2022 and beyond) aims to develop the area's visitor offer so that both residents and visitors alike can discover and celebrate its rich cultural heritage.

IC1

“The sites identified in Part 3 of the Local Plan have been tested and shown to be viable in accordance with infrastructure requirements identified in the Local Plan Viability Study. If at planning application stage the applicant seeks to provide a lower level of infrastructure, they will be required to submit a robust viability assessment for consideration.”

For clarity

IC2

Community facilities play an important role in the sustainability and vitality of our local communities which is reflected in the Settlement Hierarchy and Parish Services Audit. Across the former Selby district area a number of community facilities have been lost or are under threat from redevelopment. Where there are no alternative facilities nearby, and there remains a need for them, their loss can have negative implications for the local community. The National Planning Policy Framework (2023, paragraph 88) lists examples of community facilities, such as local shops, meeting places, sports venues, open spaces, cultural buildings, public houses and places of worship.

In assessing if a community facility is no longer required for its current or an alternative community purpose, consideration should be given to the Local Plan evidence base. This includes the Parish Services Audit and any other adopted policies and strategies, including Neighbourhood Plans. There should also be consultation with the community, and existing and potential user groups.

For accuracy

IC3

In addition to the Green Space Audit (2022), an assessment of formal outdoor playing pitch facilities across the Plan Area has been undertaken through the Playing Pitch Assessment (2020) and the Indoor and Outdoor Sports Facilities Assessment Playing Pitch Strategy and Action Plan (2021) produced which provides a comprehensive audit of existing outdoor sports provision. While there is unlikely to be a requirement for on-site provision for outdoor sports as part of development proposals it is expected that over the course of the Local Plan period demand will increase and additional provision will be required in line with the recommendations set out in the Playing Pitch Strategy. Provision for outdoor sports is across the former Selby district area and it is expected that financial contributions towards improvements rather than new provision would allow for increased capacity to accommodate housing growth in the area. In addition, a needs assessment of Indoor Sports Facilities was carried out in April 2020 and a resultant Indoor Sports Facilities Strategy published in May 2020. While the Local Plan does not require specific indoor requirements to serve new development, the assessment and strategy/action plan should be used to consider the wider sport and recreation provision context across the Plan Area when considering proposals.

For clarity

IC3

The National Planning Policy Framework introduced the concept of Local Green Space, which protects local green areas of special importance to local communities. This enables communities, in particular circumstances, to identify and protect areas that are of value to them through Local and Neighbourhood Plans. Local Green Space, once designated, is subject to the same strong development restrictions as Green Belt, ruling out new development except in very special circumstances. The criteria National Planning Policy Framework (2023, paragraph 106) requires that Local Green Space designation should only be used where the green space is: a) in reasonably close proximity to the community it serves; b) demonstrably special to a local community and holds a particular local significance, for example because of its beauty, historic significance, recreational value (including as a playing field), tranquillity or richness of its wildlife; and c) local in character and is not an extensive tract of land.

For accuracy

IC3

The National Planning Policy Framework (2023, paragraph 102) recognises the importance of opportunities for sport and physical activity in the health and well-being of local communities. Support for new New sport and recreation facilities will be supported where it is of an appropriate scale and design. Where possible opportunities should be explored to encourage dual use of new facilities.

Amend as follows:

The Levelling-Up and Regeneration Act has created a legal requirement for certain wastewater treatment works designated by the Defra Secretary of State to be upgraded by 2030, but this list has not yet been published. As identified in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, some existing wastewater treatment works are capable of accommodating wastewater from new development through the Plan period, while others will require further investment in the medium term, and in some cases new capacity is required to be installed. Allowing new development in advance of such works could compromise water quality, and it is therefore important that necessary new or upgraded capacity in wastewater treatment works must be shown to be deliverable in advance of first occupation. All foul flows from all new development that is located in or close to sewered areas should be directed to the public sewer system.

6.60 The former Selby district area has extensive rural areas which can often make private car ownership the only viable option for some residents and businesses in these locations. Where opportunities arise to increase accessibility to rural areas and resolve issues, these should be maximised. Any necessary improvements to address the cumulative impact of development across the District road network in the Plan Area should will also also be supported where possible.

On By the 1 April 2022 a total of 24 individuals had registered on the former Selby District Council's Self-build and Custom-build Register and a mix of both rural and urban locations were being sought. However, the Council cross references self-build completions and permissions against those on the Register and refreshes the Register each year with opt-in emails, so it is recognised that demand for self-build and custom-build housing will change over time. 

Intro to Maintaining a high quality natural environment

8.1 Selby District has wide areas of countryside and locally distinctive towns and villages which contribute to making the District a special place to live and work. It has many green spaces and opportunities for informal and formal recreation which support good health and well-being. There are areas of high-quality natural environment, diverse important habitats, and good access to landscape and countryside with opportunities for informal and formal recreation which support good health and well-being.

8.2 The natural environment, and access to it, play an important role in the health and well-being of local residents, providing access to open spaces for recreation, as a visual amenity and enabling everyone to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of connecting with nature. Research highlights how access to green space, such as fields, forests, parks and gardens is linked with a reduced risk of mental and physical health problems, improved mood, and increased life satisfaction. Green spaces provide opportunities to meet and socialise with others.  Being around animals and wildlife in their natural habitat is also considered to be beneficial for overall well-being. 

8.3 8.1 Nature is vital. It provides our life support system, and we cannot survive without it. However, our nature resources are is under threat and damage to plants and wildlife causes devastating changes in the climate. from many sources including direct loss of habitats, nearby land use practices, changes in hydrology and nutrients, disturbance and displacement of wildlife, impact on breeding/migrating birds, pollution, and the effects of climate change. Nature The preservation and restoration of nature is key to the health and well-being of the planet and us. The climate crisis is driving nature's decline; the loss of wildlife and habitats leaves us ill-equipped to reduce our emissions and adapt to change.

While Climate change and biodiversity loss are separate issues, they can be interlinked in some instances. Nature’s incredible ability to trap carbon safely and provide other important benefits is proven. Nature can make a massive contribution to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Nature can make a massive contribution to achieving this,, but only if we protect and restore our damaged ecosystems. 

8.4 8.3 Healthy habitats such as protected wetlands, restored peatlands, wildflower-rich grasslands and native woodlands can slow, store and filter water, reducing the risk of flooding downstream and cleaning water naturally. Woodlands and other wild places clean the air, regulate temperature, and improve our health and well-being. Thriving ecosystems provide the pollinators, soils, nutrients, food and water that support natural resilience. Each of these land uses and spaces can perform a range of over-lapping functions, for example recreation open space may provide for recreation needs but also flood water storage, while tree planting provides amenity and habitat but can also help mitigate flood risk and carbon capture. The concept of the green and blue infrastructure is over-arching and provides links and networks across and beyond the Plan Area District.

8.4 (Moved from original 8.2): The natural environment and access to it also play an important role in the health and well-being of local residents, providing access to open spaces for recreation, as a visual amenity and enabling everyone to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of connecting with nature. Research highlights how access to green space, such as fields, forests, parks and gardens is linked with a reduced risk of mental and physical health problems, improved mood, and increased life satisfaction. Access to Green spaces provide opportunities to meet and socialise with others. Being around animals and wildlife in their natural habitat is also considered to be beneficial for overall well-being open spaces for recreation, and as a visual amenity, are essential to enabling everyone to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of connecting with nature.

8.5 (moved from original 8.1): The former Selby Ddistrict has wide areas of countryside and locally distinctive towns and villages which contribute to making the District Plan Area a special place to live and work. It has many green spaces and opportunities for informal and formal recreation which support good health and well-being. There are areas of high-quality natural environment, diverse important habitats, and good access to landscape and countryside with opportunities for informal and formal recreation which support good health and well-being.

8.5 8.6 The Environment Act 2021 includes targets to halt the decline of nature by 2030, including requirements for the creation of Local Nature Recovery Strategies and mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain for development and a healthier freshwater environment. The Local Plan seeks to promote development of well-designed places where nature is prioritised and integrated and attractive open spaces are provided in locations which contribute to the quality of a place and to people's quality of life and help meet to achieve the targets of the Act. in the Plan Area.

Although the role of protecting European sites regarding abstraction for public water supply and treatment of sewage effluent falls primarily with Yorkshire Water as utilities provider, it is important that development in the Plan Area keeps pace with any improvements in wastewater treatment infrastructure or development of new water supply sources that Yorkshire Water need to implement to protect European sits. As such proposals within the Plan Area must comply with the requirements of Policy IC4 to ensure that water quality or water levels and flow in European sites are not adversely impacted by new development. The following Local Plan allocations have been screened in to require Appropriate Assessment for water quality at the planning application level as they lie within close proximity to European sites that are dependent on good water quality and details of potential impacts will depend on detailed design of all four sites

Air Pollution from nitrogen or ammonia deposition can also be a threat to protected species. Increased concentrations are most often associated with increased vehicular traffic, and therefore impacts are usually greatest close to roads, and as a result of increased vehicular journeys. The Habitats Regulations Assessment has identified the potential for impacts on the Lower Derwent Valley SAC and Skipwith Common SAC but this is dependent on the volume of increased traffic, which is currently being modelled at a from planned development. Subsequent traffic modelling and air-quality modelling of the volume of increased traffic likely to be generated by allocations within the Plan, and outside the Plan Area level to assess potential air has ruled out adverse impacts from air quality on European designated sites in proximity to the Plan Area. Other sites and sources of pollution impacts and any necessary mitigation will need to carry out their own assessments to determine no adverse effects in line with the above policy.

B. Major residential development (proposals of 10 dwellings or more and non-residential development proposals of 0.5 hectares or more) will be required to provide a Green and Blue Infrastructure Masterplan, (the detail required will be commensurate with the scale of the development) as part of the overall masterplan for the development site, to be agreed with the Planning Authority.

The Policy requires that some larger developments provide a Green and Blue Infrastructure Masterplan to be agreed by the Local Planning Authority. Ensuring that the delivery of Green and Blue infrastructure across the Plan Area District is directed to the right location is critical, and a masterplan provides a key mechanism in guiding this process. The masterplan should consider the requirements of relevant river basin catchment plans and North Yorkshire GBI strategies including the Local Nature Recovery Strategy and. The masterplan will set out how a development achieves the requirements set out within this Policy, and the level of detail will being commensurate with the scale of the development. As set out in the Environment Act the provision of biodiversity net-gain is recognised as a key opportunity to unlock tangible and meaningful restoration and enhancement of the natural environment. The masterplan will ensure green and blue infrastructure is conserved, enhanced and secured with benefits for the area Selby District maximised

These waterbodies provide an important resource to the area District in terms of the supply of water for residential, agricultural and business needs, and support wildlife ecosystems and sites.

NE5

The water environment can have a huge impact on ecology and biodiversity and therefore also needs to be considered in the context of protecting designated sites and species (Policy NE1). Within the Selby District the extensive water network presents many opportunities for nature. The Rrivers provide extensive habitats and wildlife corridors as well as extensive wetlands. A couple of the most notable examples in the District are the River Ouse as an important route for migratory fish, river and sea lamprey and eels, and the River Derwent as the source of the internally recognised Lower Derwent Valley (LDV) wetland Ramsar AMSAR . It is important that proposals within the Lower Derwent Valley Area of Restraint (identified on the Policies Map) consider the Lower Derwent Valley Supplementary Planning Document which seeks to protect this sensitive area from the adverse impact of recreational use. The Lower Derwent Valley Supplementary Planning Document has been prepared jointly with adjoining Local Planning Authorities and has already been adopted by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Development which affects water habitats and the ecological environment should also provide Bbiodiversity Nnet Ggain in line with (Policy NE3), as well as considering any potential harm water removals or discharges and run-offs might have for ecology.

River environments and water frontages are important elements of the landscape character of the former Selby dDistrict (particularly in the Lower Derwent Valley) and can contribute to the setting and significance of the Plan Area’s District's heritage assets (particularly the River Wharfe in Tadcaster and the River Ouse and Selby Canal in Selby and the River Ouse in Cawood). Where changes to the water environment are being considered it is important that the potential impact on the landscape and heritage assets is considered as well as the opportunities to further reveal, appreciate or understand these assets

8.54 The contribution of trees within the urban areas of the District is an important consideration. Strategies such as the England Tree Strategy and the White Rose Forest Partnership encourage the planting of trees to increase tree cover and consider the suitability of planting trees in urban areas and the benefits these deliver.

8.55 Trees and woodland also make a key contribution to green infrastructure and ecological connectivity. New woodland planting is being promoted nationally to enhance and maximise the benefits of tree coverage. The Council is working with its neighbouring Authorities and key stakeholders on the White Rose Forest Partnership to increase tree cover as part of the initiative to create a new Northern Forest.

Trees, woodland and hedgerows are an important part of the former Selby district area's natural assets. They are an essential component in providing habitat and shelter to a variety of wildlife and make a key contribution to green infrastructure and ecological connectivity. Whilst offering valuable biodiversity, trees and hedgerows also characterise the landscape and contribute to the local distinctiveness of settlements and towns. In addition to providing amenity value they also assist in improving residents' health and well-being.

In accordance with paragraph 136 of the NPPF (December 2023) and to meet the requirements of the National Model Design Code (and any local design codes which are adopted), trees make an important contribution to the character and quality of urban environments and all new development should ensure that new streets are tree-lined, (unless in specific cases, there are clear, justifiable and compelling reasons why this would be inappropriate). Strategies such as the England Tree Strategy and the White Rose Forest Partnership also encourage the planting of trees to increase tree cover and consider the suitability of planting trees in urban areas and the benefits these deliver.

Trees and woodland also make a key contribution to green infrastructure and ecological connectivity (Moved to opening para). New woodland planting is being promoted nationally to enhance and maximise the benefits of woodland coverage. The Council is working with its neighbouring Authorities and key stakeholders on the White Rose Forest Partnership to increase tree cover as part of the initiative to create a new Northern Forest.

Moved the paragraph regarding Ancient and veteran trees to the end of the policy and signposted back to NE1:

Veteran trees and hedgerows are the richest in terms of ecology, landscape and culture, providing an irreplaceable resource. Ancient Woodlands are valuable natural assets and survive relatively undisturbed. As a result, Ancient Woodland presents often unique and complex communities of trees, plants and fungi, as well as insects and other microorganisms. Plantations on Ancient Woodland sites are ancient woods that have been felled and replanted with other tree species. Often, replanting has used conifer species, but this can also include broadleaved planting and non-native species. Although considered damaged, these sites still present the complex soil of Ancient Woodland, and all are considered to contain remnants of the woodland such as species and organisms which occurred before. Policy NE1 (Protecting Designated Sites and Species) sets out how proposals must consider development which will result in the loss or deterioration of irreplaceable habitats such as ancient woodland and aged or veteran trees.

8.62 Air quality in the UK has improved significantly in recent decades, but it continues to be is the biggest environmental risk to public health in the United Kingdom human health, and a source of harm to the natural environment. Studies have shown that exposure to poor air quality can have both short and long-term effects on health. Good air quality is essential for our health, quality of life and the environment. Air becomes polluted when it contains substances which can have a harmful effect on the health of people, animals and vegetation. The main causes of air pollution include transport, domestic combustion, and industrial processes and agriculture. ;with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) being the key pollutants with regards to local air quality,

New Para: Studies have shown that exposure to poor air quality can have both short and long-term effects on health with children, the elderly and the already vulnerable most affected. In order to restore nature and improve the quality of our environment we must aim to achieve clean air as a key component of this. Poor air quality has consequences for crop yields and, particularly in the case of ammonia and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), significant impacts for the natural environment and biodiversity. Plants such as mosses and lichens are sensitive to ammonia and woodlands and peatlands  - both integral to meeting the UKs net zero target, are sensitive to nitrogen. Air Quality also has the potential to harm our economic growth as poorer health harms productivity, increases costs to social care. Where money in invested in interventions for air quality studies in Europe show reductionsin PM2.5 increase Gross domestic product (GDP). The Policy approach emphasises the need for both health and environmental protection as well as meeting the NO2 objective.

New Para: The UK is a member of the international Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution and as such must comply with the National Emission Ceilings Regulations 2018. National-level air quality regulations for concentrations are set by the Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010, which set limits for several pollutants, and the Environment Act 2021 sets a further 2 new legally binding long terms targets.

New Para: The 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) set out a framework and vision to help the natural world regain and retain good health for which clean air is a significant goal, and the Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP) 2023 (which is the first 5 year review of the 25YEP) set specific interim targets in relation to Air Quality to achieve this. These include reductions in emissions of:

· nitrogen dioxides

· sulphur dioxide

· PM2.5

· ammonia

· Non-methane volatile organic compounds

New para: The Local Air Quality Management Framework, underpinned by the Environment Act 1995 sets local limits, put into place through the Air Quality (England) Regulations 2000 (as amended in 2002). The framework requires relevant local authorities to assess the quality of their air and, if it does not comply with relevant concentration limits, put in place a plan to remedy the problem. Defra have also published the Air Quality Strategy for England 2023, which sets out air quality standards, objectives, and measures as part of a delivery plan for improving ambient air quality which all local authorities in England must have regard to and will be updated every 5 years.

Amend the paragraph as follows:

“The Local Plan spatial strategy directs development to sustainable locations to reduce the need to travel and increases opportunities to use alternative modes such as the use of public transport in order to reduce congestion and car-related air quality impacts. However, consideration needs to be given to a careful balance between renewable and low-carbon energy and local air quality (for example, biomass boilers are good for carbon but not necessarily for local air quality). Cycling offers the economic advantages of affordable transport while having the potential to reduce congestion and improve air quality through reduced car use. The Habitats Regulations Assessment, through district level modelling of the volume of increased traffic to be generated by allocations within the plan, has ruled out adverse impacts from air quality on European designated sites in proximity to the Plan area. However, other sites and sources of pollution will need to carry out their own assessments to determine no adverse effects on European Designated Nature Conservation sites in line with the above policy and NE1 (Protecting Designated Sites and Species).

Progress is reviewed and reported every year. This document recognises the impact the Local Plan can have on future air quality. It was intended to be a live document, continuously reviewed and developed to take account of future development, changes in traffic generation and air quality needs. It identifies a number of actions and future measures and progress each year is reported in the Air Quality Annual Status Reports, now produced by North Yorkshire Council.

An Air Quality Assessment (AQA) is not necessarily required for all developments in an Air Quality Management Area and a full assessment is only likely to be required for larger sites or those for example which create significant amounts of traffic or pollution for example.

The policy does not provide an exhaustive list of all the situations in which an Air Quality Assessment is required. Significant amounts of traffic is defined as that which gives rise to significant changes in traffic volumes of +/- 5% change in annual average daily traffic or peak hour flows within AQMAs or +/- 10% outside Air Quality Management Areas. In line with the Air Quality Action Plan, further supplementary guidance will be prepared that will define the development triggers for different levels of Air Quality Assessment and the Council will also consider the need for emission assessments / damage costs / mitigation statements.

For clarity

Planning permission plays an important role in improving local air quality and reducing potential emissions caused by development. This includes giving consideration to building materials, highways, transport, electric vehicle charging, and processes and impact pathways. It is also important that design and layout of schemes incorporate exposure reduction measures for both human and environmental exposure such as orientation, location and setting buildings back as well as emission mitigation measures. The Council will consider the need for emission assessments / damage costs / mitigation statements as required.

Amend to say:-

Develop the site in accordance with a comprehensive phasing masterplan which covers the entire site, in order to provide the appropriate infrastructure requirements in an integrated and economically viable way. The first phase of development must begin with the land immediately to the north of Leeds Road, following the construction of a bridge over the Selby Dam via Meadway, as this enables Leeds Road to be used for construction traffic and provides access into and through the development to reduce newly generated traffic on the existing highway network in the town centre. The site is allocated for mixed use development, but the predominant use is to be residential. The incorporation of the existing green infrastructure areas along Selby Dam as publicly accessible space will reduce the developable area in this location.
