The Consultation closes on 6th April 2022.
THE SEVEN CONSULTATION CRITERIA
"When to consult - Formal consultation should take place at a stage when there is scope to influence the policy outcome.
Duration of consultation exercises - Consultations should normally last for at least 12 weeks with consideration given to longer timescales where feasible and sensible.
Clarity of scope and impact - Consultation documents should be clear about the consultation process, what is being proposed, the scope to influence and the expected costs and benefits of the proposals.
Accessibility of consultation exercises - Consultation exercises should be designed to be accessible to, and clearly targeted at, those people the exercise is intended to reach.
The burden of consultation - Keeping the burden of consultation to a minimum is essential if consultations are to be effective and if consultees’ buy-in to the process is to be obtained.
Responsiveness of consultation exercises - Consultation responses should be analysed carefully and clear feedback should be provided to participants following the consultation.
Capacity to consult - Officials running consultations should seek guidance in how to run an effective consultation exercise and share what they have learned from the experience.
These criteria should be reproduced in consultation documents."

A Study Area
Submitted by Benefitz Betty on
"All elected members were invited to comment upon the draft proposals at presentations given on the 22 Feb 2022 and it was agreed that the proposals be the basis to undertake public consultation and further development.
3.8. In summary the draft proposals: Outline the need to provide improvements for both residents and vistors. Ensure that any development compliments the wider area i.e. North and South Bay and Scarborough as a whole ... rather than a set of discrete development sites. Build on the existing assets and uses of the North Bay i.e. Culture, Nature and Sport. and; Establish an emerging “vision” for the area:"
3.9. To assist in achieving this vision the consultant team go on to identify three key opportunities for development:
1. The Open Air Theatre; proposals to enhance the user experience and create a nationally significant venue by: Increasing the venues crowd capacity Introducing weather cover to parts of the venue (but maintaining its open air theme). Improving infrastructure including permanent staging and green room facilities etc. Enhancing the user offer e.g. food and drink offer. Extending the programme of events to include other cultural activities.
2. New Visitor Attractions in the area including: Adrenalin experiences and adventure sports such as climbing walls, cycle parks etc. New family visitor attractions such as a new theme parks, food and beverage venues.
3. New Visitor Accommodation providing distinctive visitor accommodation options for the area, with a focus on health and wellbeing and adding to the existing range of offerings including: Serviced apartments and lodges, Self-catered pods, cabins and camping facilities. A high quality hotel offering (4star plus)
3.10. In support of these development opportunities the draft proposals go on to make further recommendations for the development of better travel infrastructure to support the area such as possible multi-storey car parking, improvement to cycle and pedestrian access.
3.11. It is on this basis that public consultation has since been carried out by BDP and officers of the Borough Council and with the invaluable support of volunteers from Better Borough Team.
3.12. The consultation has been publicised through traditional and social media and through leafleting of over 1,000 premises within the Northstead ward area."
"The public consultation commenced on 4 March and closed on the 6 April and has included: The production of a website incorporating a video presentation and questionnaire for participants to complete. A static display of the proposals within the Alexander Bowls Centre for the public to visit and comment upon. Better Borough volunteers interviewing members of the public and undertaking questionnaires to obtain their feedback.
A series of stakeholder engagement sessions including consultation with: Scarborough Town Centre Team, Scarborough Chamber of Trade, Scarborough Civic Society, CU Scarborough Student Union, Coastline Sight Support & Yorkshire Coast Sight Support, Local MP’s Kevin Hollingrake and Sir Robert Goodwill & Eastern European Groups.
Officers are endeavouring to undertake further consultation sessions with additional stakeholder groups such as Friends of Peasholm Park and the Hospitality Association etc. prior to completing the feedback.
Concurrently the consultant team continue to engage with a range of existing operators, commercial investors and developers to ascertain their interest in the area."
https://democracy.scarborough.gov.uk/documents/s109752/North%20Bay%20Mas...
"At the time of writing there have been over 600 consultation responses and whilst the results have yet to be analysed in detail early indications suggest there to be significant levels of support to the proposed approach to redevelopment from the public, stakeholders and potential investors."
"Further analysis of the consultation results will be undertaken in the coming days and a comprehensive picture of the feedback will be formulated. The outcome of the consultation along with any amendments to the proposed approach will be reported to Cabinet in May 2022. At this same meeting recommendations will be presented on the final framework for the masterplan prior to its completion and adoption in the summer of 2022."
