We're consulting on the Murton Neighbourhood Plan as Murton Parish Council submitted the Submission Version Murton Neighbourhood Plan and associated documents to City of York Council on 16 October 2024. Once a Neighbourhood Plan is submitted, we're required to "publicise the documents submitted on our website and in such other manner as we consider is likely to bring the proposal to the attention of people who live, work or carry on business in the neighbourhood area" to be in compliance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations (2012, as amended).
Background to Murton neighbourhood plan
In March 2014 Murton Parish Council wrote to us to formally submit an application for designation of a neighbourhood plan area.
This was followed by a six week consultation from 17 March to 28 April 2014. During this period, people who live, work and conduct business in the area were able to comment on the application and boundary.
Murton neighbourhood plan application and boundary was approved at the Executive Decision Session on 23 July 2015, enabling work to start on developing the neighbourhood plan for the area.
Murton Parish Council consulted on their Pre-submission Neighbourhood Plan from 6 April 2021 to 18 May 2021. This represented the first consultation on their draft Neighbourhood Plan setting out proposed planning policies for their designated neighbourhood area.
