About this data
Plota holds 347 current planning applications from Scarborough, received since 22 Jul 2025, 69 of them in the last 90 days. Behind them, the Plota archive holds 9,685 earlier applications from Scarborough, 2016 to 2025, searchable by location and keyword. Current records are collected from the council's public register at publicaccess.northyorks.gov.uk and checked every day. Each record carries the council's reference, address, proposal, dates, status and decision, with a map location and Plota's classification by type and procedure added. The council's own record is the authoritative version; every entry here links to it.
