2. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE TOWN COUNCIL

Mr Barry Corkhill, who lives next to the water treatment works, informed Councillors of the problems he had been experiencing with regard to noise level now that new blowers have been fitted. The main problem being that the new blowers have been sited in a different position than the old ones and there is no sound proofing enclosure although some muffling material has been put on the pipes. After discussion Councillors agreed that they would put his concerns forward when looking at the planning application.

Location: Land North of Market Weighton Lawn Tennis Club Holme Road Market Weighton East Riding Of Yorkshire

ERYC GRANTED SUBJECT TO THIRTY SEVEN CONDITIONS

MWTC proposed to RECOMMEND REFUSAL of this application for the following reasons:

1. The council have received several objections from residents and a public meeting held on Tuesday 21st March, resulted in a petition soon to be handed to ERYC

Signed by the Chairman 6470

2. The current Local Development plan for MK11 land prohibits the use of Northgate Vale for access other than for emergency vehicles 3. Whilst residents are in favour of a new health centre the late night opening of the pharmacy for possible drug related dispensing was not acceptable in a residential area 4. Objections by a serving police officer indicated that access to Northgate Vale is too narrow to accept a higher volume of traffic and would become severely congested and dangerous for families with young children. 5. Local development plan for Mk11 land requires drainage to be away from the existing system, these plans indicate using the same drainage as Northgate Vale which already floods in heavy rain. 6. Local development plan for Mk11 requires this land to be developed as a whole and not in part. 7. The tennis club access from Holme Road to the Health centre is private land with no public right of way except access for a farmer to maintain the field in the past. If this access is used, lack of adequate parking at the Health Centre would result in congested parking on Holme Road. 8. The proposal to use this access as a combined pedestrian, cycle and vehicular access is believed contrary to highway regulations 8 An independent planning consultant has indicated that the proposals are contrary to government guidance PPS1, PPS3 and PPG13 and should be refused.

If officers are minded to disagree with MWTC Councillors they ask that it to go to Committee in view of the response received from residents. 21.03.2012
