York & North Yorkshire Sub-Region

YHEF and the Sub-Regions

The coalition Government has abolished many of the structures and policies at the Yorkshire and Humber regional level. City regions will play a much bigger part in sustainable development.

This page has been set up to share information about environment policy in the York & North Yorkshire Sub-Region.

About the York & North Yorkshire Sub-Region

York & North Yorkshire is a more rural economy than the three city regions that lie within Yorkshire & the Humber, but also includes the City Of York and the urban areas adjacent to major cities. It covers half the land area of the region, but has the smallest population of the four sub-regions, at 790,000. There are over 340,000 employees in employment.

In local authority terms, the sub-region comprises Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough, Selby and York, as well as North Yorkshire County Council.

For more information about the York & North Yorkshire economy, please visit the York & North Yorkshire Partnership Unit website.
The LEP proposal for York and North Yorkshire has also been published (Sep 2010) and can be viewed as a pdf download by clicking here.
