2.9.33 NYCC Highways have confirmed that as the applicant proposes to
provide a surfaced footpath / cycleway link from the development to the
existing site which is being developed from Moor Lane.
2.9.34 On this basis subject to delivery of the links via condition and S106
mechanisms as part of the development of the site then and the
improvements to the linkages to the from the development to the
Phase 1 development on Moor Lane, which will require some
improvements to the public right of way, then the scheme is acceptable
and accords with Policy.
Car Parking within the Scheme
2.9.35 The detailed site layout will be considered as part of the required
reserved matters submissions should outline consent be granted.
2.9.36 The submitted Design & Access Statement sets out under Section 5
under “Amount and Layout” that parking provision will be in line with
the Local Plan policies, through a variety of solutions from integral
garages, garages within the curtilage of the dwelling or parking courts.
The indicative plans demonstrate that sufficient parking can be
achieved within the site in order to comply with policy.
2.9.37 NYCC Highways have confirmed that the local Highway Authority's
current parking design guide still refers to maximum parking standards
and they understand this document was also adopted by Selby DC. In
line with national guidance, maximum standards are no longer
considered appropriate for new residential development. Parking levels
should therefore be agreed with the Local Highways Authority (as in
NYCC) and the Local Planning Authority rather than applying the
'maximum' parking standards in the existing guidance”.
2.9.38 On this basis it is considered that delivery of detailed car parking
arrangements can be confirmed at the reserved matters stage as part
of the layout and as such the scheme is acceptable.
Car Parking in the Village Centre
2.9.39 Objectors have stated that there is a lack of parking in the village
centre which is already constrained. The developers have not
proposed any contribution towards improvements to the provision of
car parking in the town centre as part of the submission.
2.9.40 NYCC Highways and SDC Planning Officers have reviewed the lack of
such improvements and consider that the site is in a sustainable
location so people will not always drive to the village centre. As such it
is not considered reasonable to require the developer to enhance or
contribute to the enhancement of parking provision in the village
centre.
