town centre, the railway station and employment areas;
2.13.3 Further guidance on provision and the requirements arising from
developments are set out in the Council’s Developers Contributions
policies.
2.13.4 In terms of recreational open space then the “Approved Development
Brief” for the wider site from 2003, notes that the “The precise amount,
type and location of any open space will be negotiated between the
developer, the District Council and the Parish Council. Consideration
may also be given to the possibility of some recreation open space
being met through commuted payments to enhance existing open
space, including upgrading or contributing to the maintenance of the
Pasture way recreation area”.
2.13.5 At a regional level, Policy ENV11 of the RSS relates to “Health,
Recreation and Sport” and encourages the provision of new facilities,
the creation of pedestrian and cycle routes.
2.13.6 The NPPF Paragraph 70 states that to deliver the social, recreational
and cultural facilities and services the community needs, planning
policies and decisions should plan positively for the provision and use
of shared space, community facilities (such as local shops, meeting
places, sports venues, cultural buildings, public houses and places of
worship) and other local services to enhance the sustainability of
communities and residential environments.
2.13.7 NPPF Paragraph 73 requires access to high quality open spaces and
opportunities for sport and recreation which can make an important
contribution to the health and well-being of communities.
2.13.8 As part of the submission a Landscape Master Plan has been prepared
for both the 100 unit and 498 unit scheme which shows the areas of
play (NEAP’s, LEAPs and LAPs) alongside an area for football pitches
and areas of open space. The areas of provision are not proposed to
be included on this application site and are shown to be provided on
the 498 unit site and would be secured through an appropriately
worded S106 agreement. The proposals are therefore considered to be
in accordance with Policies RT2 and SHB/1B of the Selby District Local
Plan, Policy ENV11 of the RSS and the NPPF.
