Neighbourhood Plan

We are pleased to present the Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish of Rufforth with Knapton which has been based on the results of a detailed survey, responded to by 73% of residents in the Parish, and the subsequent consultations. It has been our sole objective to produce a Plan that represents the views of the community as a whole.

The Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to the City of York Council (CYC) and to an independent examiner who produced a report (see Examiners Report). The Plan was revised following these recommendations and put to Referendum in the Parish in November 2018. 93% of those voting did so in favour of the Plan which was then formally “made” by CYC Executive on 20th December 2018. This means it is now part of the Development Plan for the area and must be used by City of York Council in determining planning applications.
