Where we are
The parish encompasses open countryside, woodland, agricultural land and a stretch of spectacular coastline, a section of the long distance walking trail The Cleveland Way. The ancient church of St Oswald’s in Lythe is a landmark visible for miles and there is a chapel of ease, St Mary’s in the lovely setting of The Valley, Sandsend.
Mulgrave Castle at Lythe, is the home of the Marquis of Normanby and the Mulgrave Estate is the major property stakeholder within the local area.
The coastal and country villages reflect the popularity of the area as a holiday destination, providing such amenities as holiday cottages, bed & breakfasts, cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops. In addition to these thriving businesses the life of the local community depends on such resources as the school, village hall and sports facilities in Lythe, and the medical practice in Sandsend.

The Parish Council:
Scarborough Borough Council or the North York Moors National Park Authority, as appropriate, consult the Parish Council on most planning applications that originate in the Parish. These are considered by the Parish Council at its monthly meetings. Comments and any recommendations are forwarded by the Clerk for consideration by the relevant planning committee, together with representations made by members of the public or other organisations. Although the Parish Council has no statutory powers in the planning processes its local knowledge means that it can still make a contribution to the decision-making processes.
The planning processes are transparent, with all plans and documents relating to each application being published on Scarborough Borough Council’s website or the National Park's website as appropriate.
