SKELTON
VILLAGE DESIGN STATEMENT
Throughout the country, planning authorities
are encouraging villages to produce their own Village Design Statement (VDS),
the purpose of which is to guide and influence future development so that the
character and distinctiveness of the village are protected and enhanced.
During 2007 and 2008 a volunteer steering
group, in consultation with the inhabitants of the village and other interested
parties, compiled a VDS for Skelton, which was approved as an Interim Planning
Statement by the City of York Planning Committee on October 23rd 2008
The published document has been delivered to
every household in Skelton parish and to all interested agencies.
The document can be downloaded and then viewed
