1.4.6 Yorkshire Wildlife Trust – No comments received to date.
1.5 Publicity
1.5.1 This application was advertised by neighbour notification letters, which were sent to
14 neighbouring properties on the 14 th November 2011. A site notice was also
displayed in order to advertise the proposals.
1.5.2 Four letters of representation have been received in response to the application
publicity. The following issues have been raised –
2. The Report
• When under construction the proposed development will result in
neighbouring residents experiencing increased noise, dust and general
disruption.
• There is a high stone wall running along the eastern boundary of the site
which is in a poor state of repair. In order to maintain privacy and protect
residents during the construction phase the wall should be rebuilt to the
same height, using a double stone construction – when doing so care should
be taken to ensure that neighbours gardens are not damaged.
• The proposed access road is located very close to the junction of Manor
Court, Cut Road and Ings Mere Court and as such it will create further traffic
problems in an already busy village, with existing car parking problems.
• The introduction of the access road will result in some properties being
sandwiched in between two roads.
• The development should be of 4 dwellings and no more – when the Manor
Court site was developed the number of units proposed kept increasing,
resulting in neighbouring residents having to endure disruption caused by
construction for a prolonged period.
• The proposal will result in neighbouring properties experiencing a reduction
in privacy.
• The roof of one of the barns that will be demolished to facilitate the proposed
development is made from asbestos and as such there are concerns over
the spread of dust etc during demolition and the impact that this will have on
health – a risk assessment should be undertaken prior to demolition, which
should be carried out in accordance with current health and safety
regulations.
2.1 Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 states "if regard
is to be had to the development plan for the purpose of any determination to be
made under the planning Acts the determination must be made in accordance with
the plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise". The development plan
for the Selby District comprises the policies in the Selby District Local Plan (adopted
on 8 February 2005) saved by the direction of the Secretary of State and the
Regional Spatial Strategy for Yorkshire and the Humber (adopted 2008).
