How schemes in Malton get decided.
One council for planning and highways
North Yorkshire Council handles both the planning application and the highways response, so we talk to its highways team early and give the case officer a clear answer.
What shapes schemes in Malton
A market town on the Derwent, bypassed by the A64, with a station on the York to Scarborough line and new homes on its edges and across the river in Norton. In the centre, the questions are usually servicing, parking and narrow streets. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and a safe walking route into town.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A64, A169 and B1248. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the A64, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Malton?
North Yorkshire Council is both the planning authority and the highway authority for local roads. National Highways is responsible for the A64.
Do you cover the area around Malton?
Yes, including Pickering, Helmsley and Pocklington, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A64 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
