Have your say on new development plan for Pannal and Burn Bridge
A six-week consultation on a neighbourhood plan which will guide development in Pannal and Burn Bridge is underway.
The consultation is the last chance for local people to have their say on how the area around the two villages will be shaped going forward.
The Pannal and Burn Bridge Neighbourhood Plan, which was drawn up by the local parish council shortly after it was created in 2016, is the first such document sent out for consultation by the new North Yorkshire Council.
If approved, it will be considered alongside in all future planning applications — although it can be overruled.
It has already been the subject of local surveys – but this new consultation is the last before it goes for independent examination.
Those surveys aimed to ensure the plan reflects aspirations and concerns and showed that green area conservation was a prime factor, along with the need to address traffic pollution and parking congestion around the school.
Pannal and Burn Bridge Parish Council chair Howard West said:

North Yorkshire Council’s Conservative executive member for open to business, Cllr Derek Bastiman (pictured above), said:
The consultation runs until Wednesday, May 31. The documents and comment forms are available here and representations can be submitted online.
Alternatively, the comment form can be downloaded and comments sent to PlanPolicy.har@northyorks.gov.uk or Planning Policy, North Yorkshire Council, PO Box 787, Harrogate HG1 9RW.
Updates and information on earlier stages of preparing the plan can be found here.
