1.5 Publicity: 1.5.1 Immediate neighbours were consulted by letter, 7 site notices were posted around the site and an advertisement was placed in the local newspaper. At the time of the collation of this report a total of 58 properties had submitted letters as a result of the two consultations undertaken on this application. 1.5.2 In addition a letter of objection has been received from Connaught (the promoters of the Hodgson Lane allocation) via their Agents Indigo Planning. 1.5.3 Residents have made comments under this application in relation to the proposals by the owners of the adjacent land off Carousel Walk/Fairfield Link which is not part of this application. These comments have not been noted in the following summary as they are not relevant to the consideration of this application. 1.5.4 The content of the objections received are summarised as follows: Principle of Development, Need for Housing and Timescales - Sherburn has had a large amount of development in every nook and cranny. - Insufficient infrastructure to cope with the population in Sherburn - Additional population will overwhelm the health services in the village. - Voluntary services are struggling to cope with demand. - Development proposed on Greenfield land, we have already lost so much of our fields already. - Services at Sherburn have not changed for the last 20 years. - Resubmitted application does not overcome the problems outlined on the previous application. - Appear to want to fill up the fields with houses sufficient to fill the forecast need for the whole area up until 2026 - Why should Sherburn provide housing need for the whole of the Selby District Council area? - There is no panic to build these houses, there is no real demonstrable need other than the developers need to create an income stream in a very difficult market and what could be a few speculators / landowners trying to increase land values by gaining permission to build on them, before selling them on. - Large number of houses for sale with a variety of prices that are not selling. - 2000 more homes in Sherburn increases the population by 30% - If the country has a chronic housing shortage, why not take the initiative of people such as Titus Salt and build new towns from scratch rather than always taking the cheapest option of tagging unwanted houses onto existing communities, which do not benefit anybody except the developers and the farmers. 116

- When travelling around Leeds and probably Selby too, there are many empty and run down houses which could be restored instead of just building new estates on empty land, soon there won't be any countryside left. - This village is turning rapidly into a town and there are not the amenities of a town, not to mention extra pressure on doctors, etc, places to park, extra traffic. - Sherburn is being systematically destroyed. - Opposed to the scale of the development and the associated consequences. - Development is too dense and close to existing properties. Density of 25 dwellings per hectare which is too high. - 2 and a half storey developments are too high and look like thumbs sticking up out of the ground. - Cumulative effect of the three developments is over 700 dwellings will be developed. - Opportunity to develop brownfield land in adjacent locations instead of Greenfield land in Sherburn Emerging Local Planning Policy - If Redrow/Persimmon can get applications approved during the period of public consultation on the new policy then clearly public consultation is effectively bypassed and the process is worthless. - Development should not be approved when the core strategy is still under consideration. - Proposed development has ignored the SADPD process. Local Plan Issues - It was considered that if the application was granted no other houses could be built in Sherburn until 2023 and that is inconsistent with the Local plan. - Core planning strategy is flawed, dictatorial, destructive and little use to residence, Selby DC should go back to the drawing board. - 498 properties are contrary to the local plan. Highways, Access and Transportation - Estate roads cannot cope with the existing traffic levels. - Traffic lights in the village centre causes congestion. - Bryan G Hall traffic survey and predictions are incorrect. - Unable to park at Beech Tree Surgery now will worsen when more homes are developed. - Housing estates used as rat runs, include Eversley Garth, The Fairway to avoid traffic lights in Sherburn village centre. - No trains stop at Sherburn or Selby Train Station after 10pm. - If more than 6 people waiting for the train at South Milford you have to stand in the freezing cold. This train is now well used by lots of commuters who work in the City but it’s as though the station is stuck in a time warp. Train does not have enough carriages at peak times. 117

- When travelling around Leeds <strong>and</strong> probably <strong>Selby</strong> too, there are<br />
