Background to Murton neighbourhood plan
Murton Neighbourhood Plan submission consultation 2024
On 12 December 2024, an updated version of the Murton Neighbourhood Plan Submission document was uploaded as formatting errors have been identified in the existing version of the Submission Neighbourhood Plan. The updated version does not introduce new wording or policies. Consequently, the closing date for the consultation was amended to 10 January 2025. All existing representations will be passed on to the Examiner and no further action is required from those representees (unless the organisations / people concerned wish to make additional comments as a result of the updates).
We consulted on the Murton Neighbourhood Plan submitted to City of York Council by Murton Parish Council on Wednesday 16 October 2024.
The documents we consulted on are:

Additional supporting documents:
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.
