2.22.3 Circular guidance requires that such contributions are fairly and
reasonably related in scale and kind to the proposed development; are
necessary to remedy any shortfalls or adverse impacts resulting from
the proposed development; and are necessary to make the proposal
acceptable in land use planning terms.
2.22.4 In terms of developer contributions then the “Approved Development
Brief” for the wider site sets out a series of elements for consideration
by the developers and the Council in progressing schemes for the site.
2.22.5 The submitted S106 Heads of Terms refers to education, recycling, and
recreational open space provision. Affordable housing and
Recreational Open Space have been considered earlier in this report.
Taking the other matters in turn.
Education
2.22.6 In terms of education matters then Policy SHB/1B (9) states that
proposals must make provision for “appropriate community and smallscale
local shopping facilities, including the reservation of land for a
new primary school”.
2.22.7 Since the previous refusal on this site, the agents have submitted an
application for change of use from agricultural to educational (use
Class D1) and formation of new access road to Milford Road on land to
the southern edge of Athelston CP School and this would be
transferred to North Yorkshire County Council upon occupation of the
first dwelling which would be secured via a Section 106 agreement. In
addition they have offered a contribution towards the enhancement of
education facilities at Athelstan CP School which would be secured via
the Section 106 agreement.
2.22.8 North Yorkshire County Council have confirmed that they withdraw their
previous objections and this decision has been taken in the expectation
of the future expansion of Athelstan CP School and following;
1) Approval of the change of use application NY/2012/0171/COU for
land adjacent to the school site.
2) Consideration of the local and national planning policies which
would influence a future detailed planning application for development
of the enlarged site including the National Planning Policy Framework.
This is subject to developer contributions to secure education
infrastructure, both land and financial, via s.106 provision.
2.22.9 As such the scheme is considered to accord with Criterion 3 of ENV1,
Policy CS6 of the Local Plan and the Supplementary Planning
Document (SPD) on Developer Contributions.
