Newbury Avenue flats development – drop in session
Newbury Avenue garage block where Labour plan to builds flats
A Public Information Drop-In Event has been organised for those interested in the plans for new Council flats on Newbury Avenue and Chaloners Road
The proposals fro Newbury Avenue were very controversial when they were announced last year.
The Council has still to confirm how it will deal with the extra car parking requirements generated by the vehicles displaced from the site.
The “drop in” takes place on
Wednesday 16th April between 4pm – 7pm
at the York and district Indoor Bowls Club, Thanet Road, YO24 2NW
Solar farm planned for Knapton Moor

1.8 hectares of land off Wetherby Road (Site 772) could be turned into a solar farm. The area of land is located near to Harewood Whin.
The Council report indicates what criteria have to be met by these farms which generate electricity from solar panels (similar in principle to those now found on many household roofs).
They are not as controversial as wind farms, being silent and relatively unobtrusive. Security at the sites is high though.
Similar sites are planned for Malton Road and Towthorpe
