How schemes in Pickering 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 Pickering
A market town on the southern edge of the North York Moors, where the A170 and A169 meet and visitor traffic peaks in summer. 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 A170 and A169. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a heritage line, so for everyday trips the bus and walking routes matter more.
