1.1.1 The application relates to a site on the Bypass Park Estate within Sherburn in
Elmet. The application site is not located within the established employment area as
identified on the local plan proposals map, it is however within an existing small
cluster of commercial buildings on the opposite side of the railway line. This area
has its own established access road which is from the A162.
1.1.2 The site is within the greenbelt as are the surrounding commercial uses to the north
and south of the site. The land a short distance to the north of the site is allocated
as a major development site within the greenbelt. This area has been built out and
has been operational for some time now.
1.1.3 Immediately to the west of the site is Mill Dyke which is lined by mature trees and
shrubbery. Further to the west, is the A162 beyond which is a landscape buffer and
an area allocated as a residential development site within the Local Plan proposals
map.
1.1.4 A shared access road runs to the east of the application site beyond which there is
the existing GW Sissons and Sons building and the Biffa Waste Management site,
which comprises a plant store and a series of containers. Further to the east, on the
opposite side of the railway line, there is further industrial development.
1.1.5 The site is currently bounded by palisade fencing and accommodates a modular
building which is used as an office. There is also a substation, three storage
containers and a racking system as well as two compound areas currently used for
external storage.
1.2. The Proposal
1.2.1 The application seeks planning consent for the erection of a maintenance workshop
and storage building, including compound for external storage.
1.2.2 The proposed development would retain the substation but would see the removal
of the modular building, storage containers and racking system. An ‘L’ shaped two
storey maintenance workshop and storage building would be erected over part of
the site with the remainder to be used as an external storage compound. The
fencing around the compound area to be retained would be re-aligned at the back
of the kerb line. The proposal would also incorporate the provision of three car
parking spaces to the front of the building.
1.2.3 Internally the building would accommodate a workshop, staff room, kitchen, WC,
office, parts store and file storage area.
