The preparation of a new Local Plan gives us the opportunity to consider what sort of place Selby should be in 2040. The Local Plan will provide a comprehensive plan which sets out the strategic vision for the District, identifies where new development will happen and sets out the policies against which planning applications will be determined. The plan will not only identify where new homes and jobs growth will happen but will also help to ensure we capture opportunities for new investments to improve local infrastructure, develop successful town centres and create healthy communities in a sustainable manner in order to address climate change and protect our important natural environment. Although we are a small District Council we have big ambitions for good inclusive growth. We want to support new development to help the District to grow whilst ensuring it remains a special place to live. 2.13 Once adopted the new Local Plan will replace the adopted Core Strategy and Selby District Local Plan. 2.14 The Local Plan does not cover minerals and waste planning as this is the responsibility of North Yorkshire County Council. The North Yorkshire County Council, City of York and North York Moors National Park Authority Minerals and Waste Joint Plan will form part of the development plan for Selby District when it is adopted. Progress So Far 2.15 Work on the preparation of a new Local Plan for Selby District began in Autumn 2019 with a number of initial workshops with stakeholders which helped to inform the Issues and Options Document. Consultation on the Issues and Options for the Local Plan took place between 24 January and 6 March 2020 and contained a number of options for how the District could grow up to 2040. The responses to the previous consultation have helped to shape our preferred approach. We received a total of 120 responses to the Issues and Options consultation, the comments received and how they have been considered have been published on the consultation portal at INSERT LINK How the Preferred Options Local Plan has been Prepared 2.16 The National Planning Policy Framework sets out the Government's planning policies for England and how these should be applied. Planning law requires that planning decisions are taken in line with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 prescribe processes that the council must follow when preparing the Local Plan. 2.17 The
