Jane Ruby spoke against the application focusing on its position in the Mytholmroyd Conservation Area, the loss of habitat and detrimental effect on the area’s visual amenity. Concerns were also raised regarding the stability of the site and the possible damage to a drainage culvert that lies below the surface of the site. Previous refusals for the site were also considered with the recommendations to improve site lights from the proposal yet to be acted upon. It was moved by Cllr Patient Seconded by Cllr Crosland RESOLVED: RECOMMEND REFUSAL as the development is not sensitive to the Mytholmroyd Conservation Area and the historic settlement of White Lee. The proposals will have a detrimental impact on the wildlife corridor, overlook nearby properties and continue to not make due regard to the recommendations made by the Highways Authority regarding parking provision for neighbours and lines of sight when entering and leaving the proposals site. Issues with regard to the stability of the land on the site remain an area of concern.

Mayors for Peace work with the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), which received the Nobel Peace Prize for its work in encouraging over two thirds of United Nations members to agree to the International Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Hebden Royd Town Council supports ICAN’s new ‘Cities Appeal’ which urges Councils to formally support the TPNW. It has already been signed by a number of important global cities likes Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Sydney, Melbourne, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Geneva, Mainz, Trondheim, Zaragoza and in the UK, Manchester and Renfrewshire. In supporting the Cities Appeal, Hebden Royd Town Council is deeply concerned about the grave threat that nuclear weapons pose to communities throughout the world. We firmly believe that our residents have the right to live in a world free from this threat. Any use of nuclear weapons, whether deliberate or accidental, would have catastrophic, far-reaching and long-lasting consequences for people and the environment. Therefore, we warmly welcome the adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons by the United Nations in 2017, and we call on the UK Government to join it.

Council instructs the Town Clerk to write to the UK Government to inform them of this resolution and urge them to take account of it.”
