Reason for Refusal 1
The proposal by virtue of the number of units proposed, is contrary
to the “Selby District Council Position Statement, Release of Selby
District Local Plan Phase 2 Sites (September 2011)” and Policy
H2A “Managing the Release of Housing Land” of Selby District
Local Plan (2005) and therefore would undermine the Council’s
strategy for the controlled release of housing land.
Reason for Refusal 2
The submitted Master Plan and Landscape Master Plan which
accompany the application by virtue that they do not include a link
to the land off Carousel Walk/Fairfield Link would prejudice the
comprehensive development of SHB/1B Allocation and would
therefore fail to ensure the efficient and effective development of
the wider allocation contrary to Paragraph 69 of Planning Policy
Statement 3: Housing.
Reason for Refusal 3
The application scheme fails to provide a deliverable and certain
mechanism for the provision of improved primary school
accommodation the need of which arises from the development. As
such the scheme is considered to be contrary to Policy SHB/1B
Criterion 5 of the Selby District Local Plan, Criterion 3 of ENV1 of
the Selby District Local Plan, Policy CS6 of the Selby District Local
Plan and the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on
Developer Contributions.
1.3.3 An appeal has now being lodged to the Planning Inspectorate in
relation to this Refusal and the Appeal has been called in by the
Secretary of State. The Appeal is expected to be heard in
November/December 2012.
1.3.4 Since the date of that refusal there has been a material change in
planning circumstances, which requires the Council to reconsider the
application afresh. In particular, the National Planning Policy
Framework (NPPF) has been adopted, revoking and replacing a
number of Planning Policy Statements, such as PPS 3 (see further
below).
1.3.5 An outline application (reference 2012/0399/EIA) (accompanied by an
Environmental Statement) for the construction of 100 dwellings to
include access on Phase 2 land on land between Moor Lane and Low
Street (to the north west) is pending consideration.
1.3.6 An outline application (reference 2012/0468/EIA) (accompanied by an
Environmental Statement) for the erection of a residential development
of 120 no. dwellings and associated parking and public open space (to
the north) is pending consideration.
