How schemes in Richmond, North Yorkshire 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 Richmond, North Yorkshire
A historic market town above the Swale, close to the A1(M) and A66 at Scotch Corner, with Catterick Garrison nearby. 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 A6108 and A6136, with the A1(M) and A66 at Scotch Corner. There’s no railway station, so bus services and safe walking and cycling routes carry more weight. Where a scheme adds traffic to the A1(M) and A66, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
