The latest version of the Village Design Statement has passed through Selby District
Council’s P& R committee so today is the start of the consultation period. If you
would like to borrow a hard copy of the document to read and digest, then please
make contact on above e-

The Village Design Statement document has now gone forward to Selby District Council to start its adoption procedure. What this means is that it has to be accepted by the Council’s R&P committee then due consultation has to be completed before it is adopted finally by the council. Once adopted it becomes part of the Local Development Framework. In essence, that is what the steering group are working towards so the document becomes a part of the planning procedure.

The VDS Document has now passed the consultation stage. It is currently being graphically re designed to enhance its appearance and bring both the VDS and Parish Plan together in continuity of purpose. The Parish Council have kindly supported the committees thoughts that every household will have a printed copy. The document will be going forward for final approval at the SDC P&R Committee, Once that is accepted then it is part of the Local Development Framework and therefore part of planning procedure. Hopefully then developers will no longer spoil our community.

The Village Design Statement is now part of the Local Development Framework for Selby, which makes it part of the planning process. Developers have now to show that they have taken account of the V.D.S. content when proposing new development in the area.
Although adopted on the 1st December 2009 there is a six week period when any legal document can be challenged in the high court, for this reason the VDS Committee are waiting until this time has expired before going to print. With your Parish Councils support each household will receive a copy of the VDS which should sit quite comfortable along side the recent Wistow Parish Plan.
Adopted
VDS
Coming soon
Posted 1st February 2010
To keep everyone informed we are now told that the High Court objection period for the Design Statement Document is three months. For that reason we cannot go to print until the 1st March 2010. The committee are currently proof reading the print draft so they are ready for print as soon as the deadline passes.
The Committee along with the Parish Council’s support will go to print after the 1st March deadline and distribute into the community later in March 2010.
