scheme of this size therefore has the potential to generate crime and
disorder and the importance of designing out crime in respect of the
design and layout will be paramount with this in mind it would be asked
that the developer considers early consultation with the Policy
Architectural Liaison Officer prior to approval of reserved matters.
1.4.9 Environment Agency
In response to the Flood Risk Assessment the Environment Agency
states that the development will only meet the requirements of the
National Planning Policy Framework if planning conditions relating to
finished floor levels, a scheme for flood compensatory storage and
surface water drainage schemes are attached to any consent.
1.4.10 Yorkshire Water Services Ltd
No objections subject to conditions being attached in order to protect
the local aquatic environment and Yorkshire Water Infrastructure.
1.4.11 Selby Area Internal Drainage Board
Details on the application indicate that surface water could potentially
be directed to various surface water systems. The Council will need to
be satisfied that all the existing systems or new systems have sufficient
capacity to accommodate all additional flows on completion of the
development. Also the Council will need to be satisfied that all systems
downstream from the main have sufficient capacity.
It is essential the developer discusses in detail the method and rate of
disposal of surface water run-off from the development. Surface water
from the site will eventually enter systems maintained by the Internal
Drainage Board. Subject to the Council including a condition with
respect to the above it is unlikely the Internal Drainage Board would
pass any other comment.
1.4.12 Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT)
The development site is partially in a Site of Importance for Nature
Conservation (SINC), less than a kilometre from the Sherburn Willows
SSI and the Sherburn Willows Nature Reserve which is managed by
the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and there are also a number of species
and habitats within the site which are valuable for nature conservation.
The development site is therefore importance for biodiversity and
adequate mitigation is essential. The surveys and ecological
assessment appear to have been done correctly and at appropriate
times of the year. However we have comments on the following aspect
of the development:
Proximity to Sherburn Willows Nature Reserve and SSSI
We welcome the measures taken in the EIA to avoid changes in local
drainage and abstraction which would affect the SSSI, however we do
not believe enough consideration has taken place regarding visitor
pressure placed on Sherburn Willows Nature Reserve. Therefore we
believe the following measures are necessary:
