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

Public Speaker – Robert Fletcher, Agent
• This application is a resubmission to the one which was refused in
2011 for lack of detail.
• Agree with assessment and proposal by Officers.
• There has been concerns raised over animals on the site however the
site would be a fairground site not a circus.
• It has been difficult to find a central plot and the proposed location
would be central and is easily accessible to the main road network.
• The officer has indicated that need has been identified and 10 people
are available for the site.
• We have experience for similar proposals and the location proposed
would be ideal.
• The lifestyle of the Showpeople is sustainable.
• The location is just outside of the village so occupants would be able to
use village facilities.
• The site is self contained and would not cause disturbance.
Public Speaker – Roy Clarke, Parish Councillor
• Speaking on behalf of the residents of Hambleton, Thorpe Willoughby
and Gateforth.
• No responses have been received in favour of the application.
• The application is wrong for the site and is a departure from the
existing layout.
• Site contains the Aquifer which supplies drinking water to Selby.
• No designs in the application to account for foul or surface water.
• Believe the plans should be rejected for lack of detail.
• Any section 106 management company to monitor the surface or foul
water should include a representative from Selby District Council.
• Previously rejected with concerns over access to the A63.
• The danger of turning vehicles needs to be recognised and the
entrance to the site is totally inadequate.
• There has not been a request for transport information.
• Ask that the Committee take note of the representation from the Police.
• Residents are concerned that if the application is refused, the
remaining surrounding areas would not be developed.
• The plans are inadequate with no evidence that the applicants could
comply.
• The needs of the local community should be established for now and
the future.
Public Speaker – Cliff Lunn, Ward Councillor
• Speaking as the Ward Councillor for Hambleton.
• The site allows for 40 caravans and this ground will reach capacity.
• There is no public access to the site.
• Only a small part of the trading will be in the area.
