Local Development Framework
The City of York Council has published its issues and options template for its draft core strategy for new developments across the city. It includes specific objectives as follows:
Objective 1: To ensure the sustainable location, design and construction of
development
Objective 2: To ensure economic wellbeing through sustainable
economic growth
Objective 3: To meet community development needs
Objective 4: To maintain a quality environment
Objective 5: To minimise motorised transport and promote sustainable
forms of transport.
You can download a range of publications (including maps of the historical character and setting and the indicative flood areas) about the options for the strategy that are now open for comment.
Comments can be made about urban design, housing, retailing, education and employment, conservation and environment, all as they would affect planning decisons in the future. An executive summary lists the possible options and invites answers to specific questions.
No doubt our Parish Council will be debating these, and given the recent interest shown in a planning application for the riverside, perhaps an open meeting might be called to make sure that village ideas are put forward.
You can download and read the proposals in pdf from here.
