an assessment of the cumulative impact of this scheme taken together
with the proposed 100 units and 498 units proposed to the south and
east of the site. In particular the report assesses the existing road
network and traffic operating conditions and the capacity of the roads
following traffic growth and capacity of highway links. The report
concludes that the existing highway infrastructure can satisfactorily
accommodate the demands placed on it should the residential
development be approved.
2.9.8 The indicative layout submitted shows that access can be taken from
either or both Carousel Walk and Fairfield Link and how an internal
loop road through the site could be created. In addition to ensure
future connectivity and comprehensive development it indicates how
two links could be provided to the development beyond the eastern
boundary on the Low Street/Moor Lane site. Notwithstanding the
potential link through to the remainder of the Phase 2 site, the
application as submitted has been assessed by NYCC Highways as
having an acceptable impact on the existing highway network and if
consent is granted together with the two Redrow and Persimmon
applications then the Local Planning Authority would seek to have the
applicant provide access onto the link road to increase permeability as
part of the reserved matters application to ensure that the access
routes and connectivity can be delivered. However, should this
application be approved and the Redrow scheme(s) be refused the
proposals are considered acceptable on their own merits in highway
terms.
2.9.9 It should be noted that the requirements of Policy SHB/1B relate to the
residential development proposed to the east and south of the site and
would not be applicable to this particular application.
2.9.10 NYCC have reviewed the submitted documents and the information
submitted by the Parish Council and have considered the cumulative
impact from the three proposed developments and confirmed that the
having had regard to the traffic modelling the proposed development
traffic can be satisfactorily accommodated on the surrounding highway
network subject to conditions. Highways have also confirmed that they
support the proposal to Condition that roads of the 2012/0400EIA
development are constructed up to the boundary of the 2012/0468/EIA
application site in order to facilitate the future link and comprehensive
development in order to maximise connectivity, so as to reduce
reliance on the private car and to produce a homogenous
development. Failure to provide the links could contrive
(unnecessarily) a ransom situation which could reduce the accessibility
of both portions of the allocated site.
2.9.11 It is therefore considered that taking into account the information
submitted and the response by NYCC Highways the proposals in
respect of the impact on the existing highway network is acceptable
and complies with Policies ENV1 (2),T1, T2 and SHB/1B of the Selby
