Case No. 18/01603/REMMAJ Item No.03 Location: Land Off Ripon Road, Killinghall, North Yorkshire, , Proposal: Reserved matters application for appearance, landscaping, layout and scale under outline permission 18/03162/DVCMAJ for erection of up to 73 dwellings with access considered. Applicant: Strategic Team Maintenance Co Ltd _ Yorkshire Housing Limite Access to the case file on Public Access can be found here:- view file Reason for report: This application is to be presented to the Planning Committee because the development is for more than 49 dwellings. SUMMARY The proposal would contribute to meeting the District’s housing land supply and assist in maintaining the supply of open market and affordable units. Subject to the accompanying Section 73 application having been approved and the matters relating to landscape to having been resolved and internal highway arrangements having been confirmed as acceptable, no adverse harm arises that would significantly or demonstrably outweigh the benefits identified when considered against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole. The proposal therefore forms sustainable development and does not conflict with the development plan that are not out of date. Material considerations in weigh in favour of the scheme; including the provisions of the Framework and paragraph 11 in particular, warrant approval of the application subject to the completion of a S106 addressing matters including open space provision and maintenance.
