Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011
___________________________________________________________________
Ouse and the A63 Selby Bypass, is designated as a strategic
location for mixed economic and residential growth in
accordance with the development principles set out below:
i) Development within the defined area will be programmed to
deliver 1000 new homes and 23 hectares of new
employment land in the period up to 2026 2027 (PC5.28),
with a further 10.6 hectares reserved for longer term
employment use.
ii)
iii)
iv)
A comprehensive, phased approach to development is
required in accordance with an approved Framework and
Delivery Document and an approved Master Plan, which will
ensure the release of employment land in the eastern part of
the site prior to future residential development south of the
Leeds – Hull railway.
The Master Plan will be produced in consultation with
stakeholders and the local community prior to
determination of any applications for development.
Principal access to new residential development south of
the Leeds – Hull railway will be from a new junction with
Barlby Road involving a new road bridge across the railway
and stopping up of the existing level crossing. Access to
new employment land in the eastern part of the site will be
taken from the existing roundabout junction on the A63
Selby Bypass, through a new link road to the Potter Group
site (PC3.6). Both the new link road and road bridge are
required to be constructed in advance of residential
development south of the railway.
v) The impact of new development on the existing transport
network should be minimised.
vi)
vii)
A sequential approach should be taken to residual flood risk
and development vulnerability, in accordance with the
requirements set out in the Council’s Level 2 SFRA
(February 2010). Site specific FRAs will be required to
address relative flood levels vulnerabilities across the site.
Development proposals will be expected to deliver the
necessary infrastructure, facilities and services, including
recreation open space, to support new and expanded
communities, and to cater for the needs of new businesses,
in accordance with the Councils approved standards
applicable at the time of future planning application(s). This
may include financial contributions to secure provision by
public agencies and reservation of land to accommodate
education and health care provision, and community
facilities such as a meeting hall, local convenience
shopping and recycling.
viii) The development should provide up to 40% affordable
housing over the lifetime of the scheme. Each residential
