Agenda with Maps and Applications (21Mb) - pdf - Selby District ...

• High school cannot support more pupils and the school is old,
needs modernising.
• Road to Athelston Primary School as previously promised by the
developers at a consultation meeting held in March 2012. The
developers have proposed building a new access road onto Low
Street for the primary school, but no planning application has been
submitted and traffic implications of this have not been tested or
even discussed.
Carbon Reduction
• Should outline planning consent be given SDC should make the
developers aware at this stage that the building regulations and the
government’s policy, including the Communities and Local
Government Carbon Reduction Delivery Plan to provide new build
zero carbon homes by 2016 will be vigorously pursued.
Alignment & Prematurity of Planning Applications
• Alignment of plans 2012/0399/EIA & 2012/0400/EIA should be
aligned so that objections can be linked together. As it stands, you
are required to object to both sets of plans. Only objecting to one,
might lead to one set of plans getting the go ahead because it
appears no one has any problems/objections to it. All these planning
applications should be aligned to each other to provide residents
with a true picture of what is about to impact on our Village
• Reasons behind the premature objection is that both sets of plans
do not include anything about new access
Local Economy
• The younger people in the village do not seem to see Sherburn in
their long term future, there is nothing for them to do, no leisure
facilities of note and certainly few if any job opportunities.
Other matters
• developer has breached planning control in the past on other sites
within Sherburn
• existing skate park is too busy for children to use
• there are other sites in Sherburn which could share the burden of
new home building which are more suitable than those identified
• Reduction in house prices
• At the end of the Moor lane site an abandoned mess was left for a
number of years which has been littered with empty portacabins
and assorted machinery and building materials. This was cleared
up as of early March 2012. An access road has been built from the
Moor Lane site to the bottom part of the field complete with hefty
side rails which one can only conclude is to facilitate trucks full of
materials for the duration of the building process if application
2012/0399 is successful
• The proposed development period is far too long and given that
these developers have already blighted Sherburn for 4 years, to
46
