City of York Council and North Yorkshire Council Joint Green Belt Assessment

The Authority wishes to award a contract for an assessment of Green Belts in York and North Yorkshire ("the Contract"). North Yorkshire Council (NYC), City of York Council (CYC) and the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) are working jointly on an assessment of Green Belts within their respective areas. The assessment will provide evidence to support decision taking on planning applications and, if necessary, be used alongside further work to inform the preparation of Local Plans being produced by each council. At the appropriate point, the review will also feed into the production of a Spatial Development Strategy for the area, which is to be produced by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
