- Walking up the shops is a joy as it is currently, as it is easy to get to, the amount of vehicular activity is still tolerable, the choice of shops covers most goods and is a relaxed, and social event – many people having lived in Sherburn for years, know each other and the community spirit is there, where people look out of each other. - Village was not designed to have this number of properties. - Development will result in no green belt land being left around Sherburn. - Where will the open space be for people to walk around the village? - Large fields provide a nice vista around Sherburn. - Sherburn is beginning to feel like a concrete jungle. - Development will bring about the destruction of valuable and productive agricultural land. - Abandoned development along Moor Lane had a detrimental effect on the appearance of Sherburn. Amenity of the occupiers of Adjoining Properties - Area will be ruined by the development. - The applicant’s statement of the visual impact of this development on properties adjoining the site this is both misleading and inaccurate. Leaving aside the questionable comment about ground floor views, the suggestion that “some views may be possible from first floor windows” is just plain wrong. - There is an obvious case for siting bungalows along the boundary of this site where it adjoins existing properties. - Houses would be clearly visible from our gardens and ground floor rooms and first floor rooms. The suggestion of limiting the houses at our immediate rear to two storey dwellings is wholly inadequate in addressing this concern. If the land was flat then this would go some way to dealing with the issue but a simple visual inspection shows that this is not the case. - The proposed development period is far too long and given that these developers have already blighted Sherburn for 4 years, to allow a further 8 year period for this development to take place constitutes an unreasonable burden on local residents. Alternatively, the developers should be instructed to complete all development within an 18 month period. It is simply unfair for local residents to have to endure more than 10 years of noise, dirt and disturbance to sate the shareholders of Redrow and Persimmon’s greed. - It is likely that property will be overshadowed and overlooked as the estate design suggests that these properties may well be over 2 stories high which will affect the amenity and privacy of garden and house. - The bus provisions to the village are constantly being cut by the providers and pale in contrast to those provided from Tadcaster. - The local area receives a huge volume in high speed motorbike traffic to the local Squires cafe bar. 120

- The Sherburn village centre is already a bottleneck with the traffic levels at peak hours and there has been little enough investment in the village. - Satnav directs people along the B1222 not along the routes proposed in the application. - Development would create a sleeper community but would suffer with added traffic. - Views from rear at ground and first floor will be lost due to higher land level at the rear and this will be regardless of the size of the development at the rear. - No indication on how the development will be constructed, in what phases and when. - Already been subject to disturbance with the Persimmon development on Moor Lane. Flood Risk and Drainage - Building a large amount of houses will result in land ability to drain rainwater being compromised. - No details for surface water run off have been included to prove that the area can cope with the additional pressure on the drainage system. - Roads in the village flood during heavy rain. - Significant propensity for the land proposed to become saturated when there is anything like a period of persistent rain. - Should the building go ahead the water will be pushed back towards Pasture Close and Pasture Court putting these areas at risk of flooding. Biodiversity / Ecology - Bats can be seen flying in the area at dusk. - Village have increased amount of pollution. - Pheasants breed and live on land that the development will be on. - Lap wings live on the site. - Development at eastern end of Moor Lane will ruin natural habitat for water voles and crested newts. - Trees should not be removed to allow the development. Education - Proposed extension to Athlestan primary school may not be sufficient as Monk Fryston and South Milford primary schools are already at capacity. - Schools will not be able to cope will result in larger class sizes. Facilities - No indoor facilities for children so hang around the village causing a disturbance and nuisance. - There are insufficient facilities to sustain the existing population let alone a 1000 to 1500 increase. 121
