Decision details

Following the consultation from Beadalm and Nawton Parish Councils submission of an Area Application to designate the combined entirety of both Parishes to become a neighbourhood area, we are seeking approval for the proposed neighbourhood area.

The Executive Member for Open to Business approved the designation of the Nawton and Beadlam as a neighbourhood area under Part 2(7) of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended), to enable the next stages of the development of a neighbourhood plan to commence.

A valid area application was submitted by Nawton and Beadlam Parish Councils as a relevant body to designate their combined area as a neighbourhood area for the purposes of neighbourhood planning.

Regulation 6 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) required North Yorkshire Council to publicise the area application. The area application was publicised on 14 November 2025 until 12 January 2026.

No objections were made to the proposed neighbourhood area.

Regulation 6A of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) requires the local planning authority to determine the application within 20 weeks of it being publicised, this date being no later than 3rd April 2026.

This decision therefore accords with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) by designating the neighbourhood area of Beadlam and Nawton.

The following must now as soon as possible be published on the Council’s website

(a) the name of the neighbourhood area;

(b) a map which identifies the area; and

(c) the name of the relevant body who applied for the designation.
