2.10.1 Policies H6(6) and ENV1(5) states that proposals should not harm acknowledged nature conservation interests, or result in the loss of open space of recreation or amenity value, or which is intrinsically important to the character of the area. These policies should be given some weight as they are consistent with the NPPF. 2.10.2 The site comprises an area of garden curtilage. The application site is not a site of nature conservation interest and is not known to support any protected species/habitat of conservation value. The proposal is therefore considered to be acceptable and in accordance with H6 of the Selby District Local Plan, ENV1 of the Local Plan and the NPPF with respect to nature conservation. 2.11 Drainage Considerations 2.11.1 Policy YH2 of the Regional Spatial Strategy relates to climate change and resource use through encourage better, energy, resource and water efficient buildings and minimising resource demands from development. In addition Policy ENV5 requires the region to maximise improvements in energy efficiency and increase in renewable energy capacity. 2.11.2 The NPPF paragraph 94 states that local planning authorities should adopt proactive strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change, taking full account of flood risk, coastal change and water supply and demand considerations. NPPF Paragraph 95 states to support the move to a low carbon future, local planning authorities should plan for new development in locations and ways which reduce greenhouse gas emissions; actively support energy efficiency improvements to existing buildings. 2.11.3 The application site is located in Flood Zone 1 which is at low probability of flooding. In terms of drainage the application states that foul sewage would be connected to the mains sewer with surface water directed to a soakaway. Yorkshire Water and the Internal Drainage Board have been consulted on these methods of drainage and raised no objections. It is therefore considered that the drainage proposals are acceptable. 2.12 Conclusion 2.12.1 The development of this site for the erection of one dwelling would be considered acceptable in principle, despite the proposals not being in accordance with Policy H2A, limited weight should be attached to the non compliance with Policy H2A and significant weight should be attached to the site being identified as a designated service village capable of accommodating additional small scale development and the proposals not causing harm to the local area in accordance with the NPPF. 292

2.12.2 Having assessed the proposals against the relevant policies the proposals are considered to be acceptable in respect of the design and effect upon the character of the conservation area, flood risk, drainage, climate change, impact on highways, residential amenity, nature conservation and contamination. 2.12.3The proposed developed is therefore considered to be contrary to the provisions of the Development Plan however there are material considerations as described above that are considered to be of sufficient weight to outweigh this conflict and therefore planning permission is recommended subject to conditions. 2.13 Recommendation This planning application is recommended to be APPROVED subject to the following conditions: 1. The development for which permission is hereby granted shall be begun within a period of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: In order to comply with the provisions of Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. 2. There shall be no excavation or other groundworks, except for investigative works, or the depositing of material on the site until the access(es) to the site have been set out and constructed in accordance with the published Specification of the Highway Authority and the following requirements: (i) The access shall be formed to give a minimum carriageway width of 3.2 metres, and that part of the access road extending 6 metres into the site shall be constructed in accordance with Standard Detail number E6. (ii) Any gates or barriers shall be erected a minimum distance of 6 metres back from the carriageway of the existing highway and shall not be able to swing over the existing or proposed highway. (iii) Provision shall be made to prevent surface water from the site/plot discharging onto the existing or proposed highway in accordance with the Specification of the Local Highway Authority. All works shall accord with the approved details. Reason: 293
