How schemes in Whitby 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 Whitby
A historic harbour town ringed by the North York Moors, with steep streets, heavy summer visitor traffic and the A171 as its main road. Traffic and parking peak in the summer, so when surveys are done and how seasonal flows are treated needs agreeing with the council early.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A171 and A169. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
