Agenda with Maps and Applications (21Mb) - pdf - Selby District ...

- Proposal does not include enough affordable and smaller family
homes.
- There is already a proposed development off Low Street for approx
500 homes, Sherburn does not need another 120 homes.
- Affordable houses should be located where they are required and
numbers proposed exceed demand in Sherburn.
Emerging Local Planning Policy
- Development of 498 properties in Sherburn will meet the numbers
outlined in the Core Strategy until 2026.
- Would hope that the new SADPD would reflect this by considering
all the possible sites available for development in Sherburn.
Local Plan Issues
- Plans for housing on SHB/1B date back to the 1990s and were
always done on the basis of an overall scheme for the site.
- The decision by Selby District Council in 2011 to release part of the
site for 282 houses was unwise as it led to a piecemeal approach
even though developers have not restricted their applications to the
282 homes set by the Council. This piecemeal approach has
inevitably led to developers seeking designs which suit them, but
don’t fit the site (or Sherburn) as a whole.
Highways, Access and Transportation
- The infrastructure of the village is not equipped to cope with the
increase in traffic.
- Parking in the main street is already a challenge without any further
pressure that additional residents will bring to the village.
- foot and cycle path are not necessary as there is an existing
pathway between 13 and 15 Fairfield Link.
- Footpaths should not be used by cycles.
- Safety of children and animals will be compromised with the
increased traffic.
- Roads around Sherburn are in a state of disrepair with potholes
and the additional traffic will worsen the problem.
- Concern regarding use of Fairfield Link to access the site with
heavy traffic.
- Carousel Walk was not designed to serve a housing estate only a
few additional houses and has existed as a quiet cul-de-sac for the
last twenty-six years. A key design criteria was the termination of
Carousel Walk and Fairfield Link as cul-de-sacs by allowing short
extensions for approximately 6 dwellings.
- Safety issue associated with increasing the levels of traffic on The
Fairway/Pasture Way.
- Pasture Way has two severe bends which are both virtually ninety
degrees, and there are often cars parked on these bends meaning
that you have to creep very slowly round. You often end up on the
other side of the road whilst having to overtake a parked car on a
blind bend.
