What is Happening Nationally?
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF. 2012) sets out government policies on planning and replaces most of the Planning Policy Statements which were in existence prior to this. The NPPF influences local planning through Statutory Development Plan documents. All local planning policies and decisions on planning applications must take into account what the NPPF says. As part of the NPPF, every local planning authority must create and implement a Local Plan.
The Local Plan provides the basis for determining planning applications and future developments in regional areas.
Gargrave’s Neighbourhood Plan, dated July 2016, was submitted for inclusion in the Craven Local Plan. To view this document please click on the link below:
A further agreed revision to the plan was issued in March 2017. This revision was to remove the Old Sawmill site as an option for development due to concerns over flooding.
