2.5 Assessment
Key Issues
The key issues in the consideration of this application are considered to be:
1 Principle of Housing Development
2 Design and Effect Upon the Character of the Area
3 Residential Amenity
4 Impact on Highway Network
5 Nature Conservation Interests
6 Impact on Heritage Assets
2.6 Principle of Housing Development
2.6.1 Policies YH1 and H1 of the Regional Spatial Strategy set the overriding
sub area policy to which development of this nature should be directed
and define the provision and distribution of housing with the aim to
manage and step up the supply and delivery of housing.
2.6.2 Policy H2A of the Selby District Local Plan states that ’to ensure that
the annual house building requirement is achieved in a sustainable
manner, applications for residential development up to the end of 2006
will only be acceptable on previously developed sites and premises
within defined development limits, subject to the criteria in policies H6
and H7. It should be recognised that although Policy H2A refers to
2006 it was intended to restrict new housing on non-allocated sites to
previously-developed land for the life of the plan, it is therefore the
case that the proposal to develop this garden plot which does not
constitute previously developed land conflicts with this policy and, thus,
also policy H6.
