Considered 03/06/15
CYC Reference / Address / Description15/00956/ORC / 548 Huntington Road York YO32 9QA / Proposed change of use from offices to 3no. dwellings (use class C3) under Class O Part 3 Schedule 2 of Article 3 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
Committee Comment: D We object on planning grounds
• Huntington Parish Council, Planning Committee are extremely concerned that this proposed development will exasipate road safety on an already difficult section of road
• Lack of parking – 3 residential parking spaces for 6-12 residents, vehicles could not access and egress in first gear, parking on the side of the road is likely to occur leading to obstruction of the footpath, standing area for bus passengers, the cycle path and other road users
• The development would adversely affect highway safety or the convenience of road users. Traffic passing parked vehicles would have a reduced view of oncoming vehicles due to the brow of Mill Hill obstructing their view. Neighbouring properties would have their view of the road obstructed making accessing Huntington Road dangerous
• Over-development of the site, unacceptably high density (6 double rooms with potential for up to 12 resident plus visiting guests) / overdevelopment of the site
• The likely effect of the development on the residential amenity of neighbour’s adverse impact which the proposed development might have on the character of the neighbourhood
• Not suitable for context, this will change the character of the area
• A reduction of available family housing stock for local people
• There appears to be no DDA provision within this development.
15/00798/OUTM / Land To The North Of Avon Drive Huntington York / Erection of 109no. dwellings
Committee Comment: C We do not object but wish to make comments or seek safeguards
• Huntington Parish Council, Planning Committee are extremely concerned about the proposed location of the ‘Trim Trail’ within the proposed Public Park, due both pollution and proximity to the main A1237 (for Health and Safety reasons) Huntington Parish Council would not agree to adopt nor be responsible for the maintenance or management of any such or similar play equipment if the development is approved
• The Proposal is likely to generate a significant increase in the amount of local traffic especially at peak times contributing to congestion and may in turn lead to highway safety issues at the junction of Avon Drive and Strensall Road
• Huntington Parish Council, Planning Committee welcome the proposal for 30% affordable housing within the development, in light of their concerns about traffic congestion and traffic flow at the main junction to Avon Drive they would not like to see the density of any future detailed scheme (subject to the current outline applications approval) be increased and they would like assurances that at least 30% affordable housing remain on any detailed application
