Planning For The District To 2021: The Future Of Your Town Or Village
HARROGATE'S planning chiefs are urging those with
an interest in how the district should be developed over the next
two decades to attend a series of information workshops which are
being held around the district over the coming months.
The Harrogate District Local Plan is being reviewed and
re-formed into a new style Local Development Framework (LDF) for
the district. Creating an LDF for the district
is a requirement under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act
2004.
The council has invited groups such as parish councils, local
businesses and community groups to attend these
workshops. But the council's planning team would
also like to invite interested individuals to
attend.
David Sykes, the council's Planning Policy Manager,
said: "These workshops are an important part of
our ongoing involvement with the district's communities about the
choices which are available for the future development of their
area. The workshops will start people thinking
about some of the planning issues which will arise in seeking to
provide for locally needed homes, jobs and other development up to
the year 2021.
The workshops, which will all start at 6.45 pm will be held as
