CYC Reference / Address / Description16/01073/OUTM / Land to The North of Avon Drive Huntington
York / Erection of no.67 dwellings
Committee Comment: D We object on planning grounds
• This land is designated as Draft Green Belt
• A precedent has been set on two previous occasions by refusal on the grounds of a future need for duelling the A1237
• Huntington Parish Council are extremely concerned that this proposed development will exasipate road safety on an already difficult section of road (namely the junction with Avon Drive and Strensall Road)
• 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
• The proposal to take foul water domestic waste to be discharged to the 225 mm diameter public foul/combined water sewer recorded in Avon Drive, at a point approximately 5 metres from the site, again residents dispute the size of this sewer (believing it to be 100mm in parts) and state that they currently have issues with blocking and backing up resulting in sewage polluting residential gardens and driveways, it is believed that an increase a development such as this; will cause pollution incidents of this nature to increase in frequency and volume
• Whilst it is proposed to take the surface water away via the land drain to the North of the site local resident state that there is a land drain to the South of the site following the course for the boundary between the properties on Avon Drive this drain is incomplete and in disrepair and caused localised flooding during the December 2015 Boxing Day floods within resident’s gardens, they are also concerned that this incomplete drain coupled with the additional housing will increase the problem
