Whitby Business Park Area Action Plan (2014)
Responsibility for planning at Whitby Business Park lies with both Scarborough Borough Council and the National Park Authority as the National Park boundary runs through the site. In order to provide a consistent and long term plan for the site, a Joint Area Action Plan has been adopted by the two authorities.
The Plan sets out how the Business Park will be developed over the period to 2026. It includes proposals to improve and expand the existing site to accommodate new businesses and sets out highway, infrastructure and environmental improvements. The area covered is the existing built up area of the Business Park together with the land allocated for expansion and the area falls within the Local Planning Authority areas of both Scarborough Borough Council and the National Park Authority.
The Area Action Plan was formally adopted by both Authorities in November 2014. Regulation 10A of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended) now requires that Local Authorities review their local plans at least every five years from adoption to ensure policies remain relevant and effective. A review of whether the Area Action Plan remained up to date was carried out by both Authorities in the Autumn of 2019, the conclusion of which was that it remained fit for purpose. Details of that review can be found in a report to Planning Committee dated 17 October 2019.

The town of Helmsley is split between the Local Planning Authorities of Ryedale District Council and the North York Moors National Park Authority.
