phase of development will be expected to contribute
towards affordable housing provision, the precise amount,
type, and tenure of each phase to be determined at
application stage (for separate phases) (for each phase of
development) (PC2.6), through an Affordable Housing Plan.
The opportunities created through the development of this
area should be maximised to enhance the riverside and
general environment including the retention, enhancement
and creation of green infrastructure and wildlife habitats,
provision of new landscaping, including structural
landscaping, relocation of existing allotments and sports
fields within the site, and provision of new recreation and
amenity space.

Development should maximise opportunities for sustainable
travel , including reducing the dependency on the car
through development of a Travel Plan and (PC1.28) by
providing suitable access to existing local facilities and
services, providing new passenger transport links, and
ensuring safe, attractive and convenient pedestrian and
cycle routes between the development and neighbouring
areas, including Selby Town Centre.
Development should protect and enhance the amenities of
existing and future (PC4.7) residents and protect the
viability of existing and future (PC4.7) businesses.
xiii) New development should protect and enhance the character
and setting of Selby Town Centre Conservation Area,
including maximising views to the Abbey Church and
ensuring Selby’s skyline is not detrimentally impacted upon.
xiv) Development should incorporate sustainable development
principles, including sustainable construction and drainage
methods, and low carbon layout and design, and should
(where feasible and viable) (PC2.7) derive the majority of
total predicted energy requirements from de-centralised and
renewable or low carbon sources. In addition to
incorporation of micro generation infrastructure, this might
include energy from local biomass or waste technologies,
combined heat and power schemes and/or community
heating projects.
