A PUBLIC meeting will be held next week for residents to give their views on proposed planning policies.

Officers from Hambleton District Council will be at Northallerton Civic Centre from 7pm on Monday to answer questions on the authority's development policy.

The document does not deal with development sites, but has maps showing designations and areas for protection, transport investment schemes and hazardous installations.

The document is one part of the council's new local development framework, which will set out proposals and planning policies for the district over the next 15 years.

Views can be submitted until February 24 by calling the council on 0845 121 1555.
