1.4.1 Sherburn in Elmet Parish Council:
Comments raised in relation to application 2011/0893/EIA are relevant
to the application and objections still stand. The Parish Council has
sought views of residents by holding a further public meeting and
taking into account the points raised the Parish objects to these
applications.
Policy Objections
• The dwellings in the three applications represent the entire
allocation referred to in the Submission Core Strategy. If these
planning applications (2012/0399/EIA, 2012/0499/EIA and
2012/0468/EIA) are granted no further development would be
allowed in Sherburn before 2027.
• The decision of the District Council to partially release this site
on the 13 th September 2011 has already effectively reduced the
scope of residents to properly debate the preferred location for
development in Sherburn in the period to 2027.
• The outcome of these applications, if approved by the Council,
could have two outcomes – Firstly, it could completely preclude
any further input into the SADPD since it would be a forgone
conclusion and secondly and possibly even more likely, it could
result in a much greater level of development in the village than
currently proposed.
• Would ask you to refuse this application (and the other two
applications) as premature and give our community a chance to
consider appropriate allocations within the finally agreed Core
Strategy figure of 2027.
Highways Issues
• The impact of 598 new dwellings on the highway network (plus
a potential 120 at Carousel Walk) would be substantial. The
Parish are currently carrying out further work on the implications
of these developments on the highway network and have
particular concerns about:
• The impact of development on the centre of the village we do
not believe the central traffic lights have the capacity to
accommodate these developments.
• The implications for rat running through residential estates in the
village.
• Do not consider either of these issues has been considered
sufficiently in the applications, and would further question the
traffic routing assumptions.
Education
• We are not confident that the County Council are taking full
account of the likely need for primary school places by 2020 and
like the Highway Authority are dealing with the matter
piecemeal. In particular we are unconvinced that an extension
to Athleston School can provide sufficient capacity in our
schools for all potential development by 2026.
