Third Release of information on the North Yorkshire Local Plan ‘Call for Sites’
published on 12th Feb 2026
The ‘call for sites’ closed on 30th November 2025 and NYC are currently in the process of assessing the 2000+ sites that have been put forward for consideration. They will re-open the call for sites later this year, following the completion of the current site assessment work. Further details about the re opening of the call for sites will be available on the NYC website in the coming months.
The only change for Escrick is the additional plot of land next to the proposed SA-ESC-0002 site which has been put forward as green / open / community land SA-ESC-0001.

Call for sites for the North Yorkshire Local Plan | North Yorkshire Council
NYC are not consulting on the release of the sites at this stage, and are not accepting comments on them, although they are making the information available to ensure greater levels of transparency and to allow you, the community and other interested parties the opportunity to have sight of the submitted sites as early as possible. A comprehensive consultation will take place later that will seek the views of the community on all sites – at which stage further work will have been completed to give a greater direction as to whether such sites are likely to be recommended for allocation or dismissed. You will be able to share your views at that time.

North Yorkshire Council Parish Liaison: Age-friendly Town and Parish Guide
published on 23rd Jan 2026
Please find attached a copy of The Centre for Ageing Better’s ‘Age-friendly Town and Parish Guide’ which has recently been published, endorsed by NALC and designed for Town and Parish Councils.
According to the guide, building an age-friendly town or parish requires coordinated efforts between local older people, the local council and principal authorities, health services, transport providers, businesses, and voluntary organisations. Town and Parish Councils have an important role to play, as they are uniquely positioned to facilitate or support these partnerships and advocate for decisions that enhance the wellbeing of their communities. The guide is not only for those who work in Towns and Parish Councils but also those who would like to work with Councils.
We have also been made aware there is a free online webinar being held on Thursday 29th of January at 10:00am. This virtual event will give you the opportunity to learn more about why and how Town and Parish Councils can improve life for older residents.

Community Governance Review Consultation 2025/26
published on 17th Oct 2025 (updated on 7th Nov 2025)
The stage 1 consultation for the 2025/26 Community Governance Review (CGR) is current live
North Yorkshire Council are consulting residents about the future governance of Escrick Parish Council. Due to a lack of residents willing to become parish councillors, the parish is currently holding several vacant seats. North Yorkshire Council is undertaking a community governance review to ensure that parish level governance arrangements are operating as effectively as possible.A request has been received from Escrick Parish Council to reduce the number of councillor seats from 11 to nine as the parish is currently several vacancies. As of June 2025, 11 councillor seats represent 764 electors. This will enable the council to work more effectively. The Parish Council has struggled to fill all the seats for many years and despite advertising for new volunteers only a small number of residents have come forward. At the last election only 5 members were elected. This meant that the Parish Council did not meet the quorate requirements to maintain it's general power of competence allowing expenditure in areas that affect parishioners. One such example is being unable to provide lighting at the bus stop on the A19/Sang Thai (as it is classed as outside the parish) despite the majority of users at that stop residing in Escrick. You are invited to have your say as part of this consultation. The closing date for the survey is 22 December 2025.
