is in “outline” form details of the design approach will be confirmed
through reserved matters submissions. However the approach of the
D&A can form the basis of any consideration at the Reserved Matters
stage and a condition can be utilised to ensure that the scheme is
designed in the context of the approach of the D&A.
2.18.6 In terms of designing out crime the applicants have confirmed the
general approaches relating to areas of open space, footpath links,
parking provision, boundary treatments, locating of rear gardens, use
of defensive planting and fenestration design in terms of the building
layouts, internal spaces and use of dual aspects buildings.
2.18.7 In commenting on these general principles North Yorkshire Police have
noted “the developer has now provided details of how crime prevention
is being considered in respect of the design and layout of the proposal
in order to comply with the NPPF. The Police Architectural Liaison
Officer goes on to state that he welcomes the positive comments made
by the developer in respect of ‘designing out crime’.
2.18.8 As such the approaches outlined in the D&A are considered
appropriate to the site’s location and it is considered that appropriate
account and reference has been made in defining the design approach
for the site to the existing settlement and surrounding development
including the Redrow and Persimmon Phase 1 schemes. In terms of
materials then the D&A includes an assessment of surrounding
development and materials for the units and that these can be agreed
via condition as part of the later reserved matters conditions.
2.18.9 On this basis it is considered that the scheme is acceptable and in
accordance with Policy ENV1 of the Local Plan and reflective of the
overall design principles in the Development Brief.
2.19 Amenity of the occupiers of Adjoining Properties
2.19.1 As the application is in outline form then the impact on the occupiers of
the existing adjoining properties has to be considered in the context of
the matters to be determined and informed by the approaches outlined
in the D&A and shown on the Indicative Layout Plan.
2.19.2 Policy ENV1 (1) of the Local Plan states that in considering proposals
the District Council will take account of “the effect upon the character of
the area or the amenity of adjoining occupiers”
2.19.3 Objectors have raised concerns in terms of the impact on existing
residents as a result of the disruption through high number of vehicles
accessing the new estate via Carousel Walk and Fairfield Link, loss of
privacy due to construction of cycle and footpath location, loss of sun
light, loss of amenity, pollution and noise.
