contamination or other environmental pollution including groundwater pollution will
not be permitted unless satisfactory remedial or preventative measures are
incorporated as an integral element in the scheme. Such measures should be
carried out before the use of the site commences.
2.11.2 The application site is located within Flood Zone 1 and is therefore deemed to be
‘appropriate development’ by the National Planning Policy Framework.
2.11.3 Comments received from the Selby Area Internal Drainage Board advise that the
nearby watercourses are not maintained by them and that the discharge from the
mains is via a pumped system into Mill Dyke which is the main river and the
responsibility of the Environment Agency. The Environment Agency has been
consulted and has raised no objections.
2.11.4 The Selby Area Internal Drainage Board also advise that the Council will need to be
satisfied that the existing main has sufficient capacity to accommodate all additional
flows on completion of the development and that all systems downstream from the
main river have sufficient capacity.
2.11.5 The location of the proposed development is currently hard standing. The proposed
development would not occupy a larger footprint, nor would it increase the amount
of hard standing at the site and would therefore not increase the amount of surface
run off from the site.
2.11.6 A condition has been recommended requiring a scheme for the disposal of foul and
surface waters within the site to be submitted to and approved in writing by the
Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development in order to
prevent groundwater pollution and to reduce the risk of flooding from overland flows
in accordance with policy ENV2 (A) of the Selby District Local Plan.
2.12 Conclusion
2.12.1 The proposal is considered to be acceptable in principle and would accord with the
requirements of the NPPF in relation to limited developments/infill buildings in the
Green Belt. The proposal represents the provision of a relatively small scale
development which would support the existing Bypass Park Estate. It is considered
that the proposed development would not have an unacceptable detrimental impact
on the character and appearance of the area, nor would it unacceptably impact on
the openness of the Green Belt. The proposal would not adversely affect highway
safety and would not compromise the operating conditions of other surrounding
properties. The proposals would not compromise the aims and objectives of all
relevant national policies and local policies, and there are no material planning
considerations that would justify a refusal of permission.
2.13 Recommendation
This application is recommended to be APPROVED subject to the following
conditions:
01. The development for which permission is hereby granted shall be begun
within a period of three years from the date of this permission.
