How schemes in Skipton 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 Skipton
A busy market town known as the gateway to the Dales, where the A59, A65 and A629 meet on its bypass, with electric trains to Leeds and Bradford. 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 A59, A65 and A629. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
