Statement of Community Involvement
The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) was adopted in December 2007. It sets out how we'll involve you in the preparation of all Development Plan documents, including the Local Plan and in making decisions on planning applications. A draft SCL update was taken to Executive in March 2024, which will be subject to citywide consultation shortly.
The consultation arrangements in place at the time of any future consultation will be made clear on our website. Should this be subject to change during the consultation period, the details will be updated, as applicable, in line with the current health guidelines.
If you would like to kept informed of future consultations and Strategic Planning Policy matters, please contact us by email at localplan@york.gov.uk. We will retain your contact details in line with our privacy notices.
Community Infrastructure Levy
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of the area.
As the CIL charging authority we are required to consult with residents, local communities, business and stakeholders on the proposed levy rates. At Executive Committee on 26 January 2023, a decision was made to consult on a CIL draft Charging Schedule.
For further information see our dedicated CIL webpage.
