Planning Advice

This section of our site aims to provide you with information and advice about the planning application and appeals processes.

Additionally, please take time to look at the Planning Portal site (see 'Features') which has in-depth advice about planning and appeals.

If you need any more advice, or have any question about planning, please contact us.

	Planning Permission FAQs Some basic questions and answers about planning permission and the planning process

	Appeals Information about your right of appeal, Appeal Forms and useful links.

	External Links to Buildings and Planning Pages Links to the Planning Portal and related Buildings and Planning pages providing advice and information.

	Unitary Development Plan The Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is the statutory development plan for the District. It identifies land suitable for housing, industry, retail, or other uses, and sets out the policies that the Council applies when assessing development proposals and protecting the environment. It provides the basis for determining all planning applications.

	Local Development Framework The Local Development Framework (LDF) will replace the UDP in 2007.

	The Yorkshire and Humber Plan This Plan, currently in draft form, is the 'Regional Spatial Strategy' for Yorkshire and the Humber Region. It sets out the scale, priorities and broad locations for change and development in the region over the period to 2021. It provides a framework for 'where things go' and 'how much' development should take place, it includes a regional transport strategy, and links all this with broader issues such as the environment, sustainable development and quality of life.
