Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will work with a wide group of stakeholders to deliver a local plan for York.

The Government wants to see all parts of England covered by an up to date Local Plan to deliver the certainty that local communities and businesses deserve. It is for the Council to deliver a Local Plan for York.

The Local Plan is currently at examination and the Council are addressing areas of concern raised by the Inspector but they have expressed their commitment to producing a Local Plan.

I would encourage you and your constituents to consider the findings of the Inspector’s report once it is issued.
