How schemes in Selby 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 Selby
A market town on the Ouse, where the A19 and A63 meet, with a station on the Leeds to Hull line and the M62 and A1(M) a short drive away. 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 A19, A63 and A1041. 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 M62 and A1(M), 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 Selby?
North Yorkshire Council is both the planning authority and the highway authority for local roads. National Highways is responsible for the M62 and A1(M).
Do you cover the area around Selby?
Yes, including Snaith, Howden and Goole, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the M62 and A1(M) to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
