More planning appeals successful in York

There has been a small increase in the number of successful planning appeals considered in York during the last year,

Among the appeals against refusals by the local planning committee were cases in Monkton Road, Bishopthorpe and Heathfield Road,

Appeals were rejected for applications at the Acomb Hotel (signage) and Poppleton Garden Centre (car wash)

Three more homes for Mayfield Grove?

The planning committee is being recommended to approve the construction of 3 homes on a site in Mayfield Grove. A similar application earlier in the year was deferred pending receipt of a bat study.

That study has now been provided.

If approvedĀ at a meeting taking place on 6th July, theĀ houses would replace an existing bungalow located towards the front of the site with its main garden to the rear.

There would be a semi-detached pair of 4 bedroom dwellings at the front of the site on the footprint of the existing bungalow and a single detached 2 bedroom bungalow to the rear.

Vehicle access would be from Mayfield Grove, via newly created parking areas and private driveway to the rear property.

The local planning panel had criticised the plans saying that they represent an over development of the area.
