Outstanding planning applications in the Westfield Ward

There are currently 11 local planning applications awaiting a decision by the Council.

Some are routine household applications.

Those that have been outstanding for the longest (since October) are the proposals to develop a site in The Green and the (much delayed) additional parking area to serve St Stephens Road.

Recent applications include proposals to convert a shop on Beaconsfield Street into a flat, an extension to the “Energise” sports centre on Cornlands Road, a change of use – from retail to hot food take away – at 53A Front Street and the provision of a child care nursery in part of a house in Mapelwood Paddock.

Copies of the planning applications can be viewed on the Councils web site at http://planningaccess.york.gov.uk/online-applications/

Dog fouling problems on the increase

Complaints about dog fouling in the area are on the increase again. Residents in Milner Street and Askham Lane are amongst those who have reported problems over the last week.

More surveillance by dog wardens has been requested.

Dog owners who allow their pets to foul a public place, and who do not clean up after them, face an “on the spot” fine of £50.

If you witness any problems, or if you spot damaged or full “poop scoop” bins, please let us know using the “report a problem” link (right)
