York Council shelves Castle/Piccadilly report

The York Council has withdrawn from its meeting schedules a report on the future of the Castle/Piccadilly area.

Castle short stay car park with Piccadilly beyond

Now dubbed as the “Southern Gateway“, the report had been scheduled for consideration in September.

The delay is the latest in a series of setbacks for the 15 year old redevelopment scheme.

25% chance of success if you appeal against a planning decision in York

Council report August 2015 click to enlarge

Figures, to be discussed by a Council planning committee tomorrow, suggest that residents have a 25% chance of successfully appealing against a refusal of planning permission in the City.

The York Councils performance – in getting decisions right first time – is now better than the national average.

That has not always been the case in the past (see 2012 performance below).

11 appeals were outstanding as at the end of July

292 Tadcaster Road – Councillors vote against conversion back into house

Proposals to convert 292 Tadcaster Road back into a dwelling house were refused at a planning committee meeting today.

The vote was 6-4 with opponents objecting to an extension which formed part of the planning application

There had been no objections to the planning application

The building is currently used as offices by a telecoms company.

Among those voting against the conversion were Labour Councillors who claim that there is no alternative but to build homes on Green Belt land!

Knapton Lane development shock

Developers are advertising a drop in event at which they hope to gather support for the development of land on Knapton Lane.

Area of land being considered for development

The land lies on the outskirts of the current built up area and has been regarded as falling within the Green Belt.

Indigo Planning, are a town planning consultancy who say they are working on behalf of the owners of the land north of Knapton Lane (YO26 5PX).

In a local advert they say, “We would like to hear your views about the proposals for a residential development on the site and will be holding a drop-in event on Tuesday 30 June between2:30pm and 7:30pm at:

Acomb Parish Church Hall,
Front Street,
York,
YO24 3BX

You’ll also have an opportunity to speak with members of the team and ask them any questions you may have. The team will also be able to advise the proposed timelines for the development and the ways in which you may share your feedback.

We’ll be updating this website with all of the information from the event, so please check back after 30 June for more information. We’ll also be providing an online feedback form so that you can share your thoughts and views on the proposals”.

The proposal will come as a surprise to many residents.

The new Council has yet to revise the draft Local Plan and peripheral development like this is likely to be highly controversial.

Barbican site – building activity steps up as new planning application is submitted.

New role for Terry’s factory building

Planning application sites. click to access

155 car parking spaces will be provided.

Most of the flats will be built on land adjacent to the 5 star hotel which is currently under construction. The hotel is expected to boost the number of conferences that the auditorium hosts each year; underpinning the long term future of the entertainment venue.

A report to the Councils Planning committee says,

“The proposed housing block for the Barbican site maintains the layout previously approved in 2007. The building would have a varied roof height, being a mix of 4 and 5 storey high. The ridge height would be lower than the maximum height of the 197 bedroom neighbouring hotel. The elevations would be of brick (2 varieties) with a pitched roof.

The scheme has a more residential appearance, rather than the commercial appearance approved in 2007. There would be car parking at ground floor level, and it is also proposed to lease car parking spaces from the Q-park opposite”.

The developer is offering 12 of the properties for social rent.

Council official are recommending approval of the proposals which will be considered on 4^th June.

NB. The same meeting will consider a proposal to provide 173 apartments by conversion of the old Terry’s chocolate factory building on Bishopthorpe Road. It is also recommended for approval
