Introduction

What is this document?

1.1 This consultation version of the Allocations Document forms part of the East Riding Local Plan. We are seeking your comments on the proposals that have been put forward. The Allocations Document is a key part of the East Riding Local Plan (see below) and identifies specific sites and areas for development. When the final version of the Allocations Document is adopted following an Examination in Public (a type of public inquiry), it will be used to determine planning applications and guide investment decisions.

The East Riding Local Plan

1.2 The East Riding Local Plan will provide the framework for managing development and addressing key planning issues. It is made up of a number of planning documents, known as Local Development Documents (LDDs):

Strategy Document – sets the overall strategic direction for the Local Plan, setting policies to guide decisions on planning applications.

Allocations Document – allocates sites for development (such as housing, retail, or industry) or protection (such as open space or land for transport schemes).

Bridlington Town Centre Area Action Plan (AAP) – provides specific policies to guide development and contribute to the urban renaissance of Bridlington Town Centre.

Joint Waste Plan and Joint Minerals Plan– these will set out the policies used to provide for future waste management needs and mineral extraction. They are being prepared jointly with Hull City Council to cover both authority areas.

1.3 A Policies Map will be published alongside these LDDs. This shows spatially, on a map, the policies of each LDD such as areas of open space or biodiversity assets, and the sites identified in the Allocations Document for particular land uses. Figure 1 illustrates the East Riding Local Plan structure and its relationship to other documents.

Figure 1 East Riding Local Plan Structure

1.4 Once complete, the Local Plan will replace the existing planning policies that cover the East Riding. These are set out in the Joint Structure Plan for Hull and the East Riding (2005), the four Local Plans for the former boroughs of Beverley (1996), Boothferry (1999), East Yorkshire (1997) and Holderness (999), and the Joint Minerals and Waste Local Plans (2004). Appendix A lists those policies that will be superseded by the Allocations Document once it has been adopted.

Other documents

1.5 The Local Plan will be supported by Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) that add further guidance regarding the interpretation and delivery of policies within the Strategy Document. These are not subject to independent testing and do not have 'Development Plan' status, but would be subject to consultation in accordance with Government regulations. In addition, some of the draft policies in this document refer to the need to prepare a Development Brief to provide more guidance on how a site should be developed.

1.6 The Council's Local Development Scheme (LDS) provides an outline of the various Local Plan documents and a timescale for their preparation. The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) sets out performance against local indicators and targets from the Local Plan.

1.7 A Town or Parish Council can prepare a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) and can set out a shared vision and planning policies for their area. Once adopted by the Council, NDPs form part of the statutory Development Plan, and would be used to make decisions on planning applications.

Document structure

1.8 This document should be read alongside the Strategy Document and Policies Map,which are also subject to public consultation at the same time as this document. The Allocations Document includes three main parts.

1.9 Part One sets out the context for the Allocations Document and how it fits in with the East Riding Local Plan. It outlines how the document has been prepared so far and how the sites were identified and assessed. Importantly, Chapter 4 provides details of how you can get involved and have your say.

1.10 Part Two describes the Settlement Network and Key Employment Sites, which are identified through the Strategy Document. These are the locations where sites for development will be allocated. This part also provides details on the approach proposed for sites that already have planning permission for new development, which are referred to as existing planning commitments.

1.11 Part Three sets out individual policies for the allocation of sites for housing, employment, retail and open space uses. Settlements are presented on a sub area basis and then broken down by their place in the Settlement Network. Each settlement follows a common structure with:

An introduction providing a brief description of the settlement and its role that has been set out in the Strategy Document.

A summary of the comments made through the previous public consultation exercise.

Policies that identify the draft allocations and details of how the policy should be applied.

Sites which have been considered but are rejected as allocations together with reasons why they have not been allocated.

1.12 In many instances, a high number of site options have been proposed and considered for each settlement. However, only a small number are required to meet the need for new development that is set out in the Strategy Document.

Identifying the preferred sites

1.14 The preparation of the Allocations Document has to follow a number of stages, which are subject to public consultation. The first stage was the Potential Sites (May 2010) consultation, which provided a range of site options for consideration. No assessment or prioritisation of sites was made through that document. It attracted over 6,000 individual comments which have been considered in the preparation of this document.

Which sites have been considered?

1.15 The sites presented in this document have come from a wide variety of sources. The majority were submitted to the Council by landowners and their agents or other organisations. These are known as 'land bids' and a specific request has been made to the Council to consider their merits for inclusion in the Allocations Document. Undeveloped allocations from the former Local Plans have also been re-considered through this document.

1.16 In addition, other sites have been identified from a range of studies and documents from the Local Plan's 'evidence base', including:

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) - its main purpose is to assess whether there is sufficient land for housing over the lifetime of the Local Plan.

The Town Centres and Retail Study 2009 - has identified town centre sites that would help to meet the need for new retail development.

The East Riding Infrastructure Study (2011) - has helped to identify potential transport schemes and interventions, as well as highlight the need for additional infrastructure such as new schools and flood alleviation schemes.

Various local renaissance and regeneration documents, such as the Hornsea Seafront Investment Plan.

1.17 Following the Potential Sites consultation a number of new land bids were submitted to the Council, as more people became aware of the role of the Local Plan. Therefore, this consultation contains more sites than previously presented in 2010. In addition, changes to the Strategy Document means that sites in some other settlements need to be considered through this document. This includes presenting sites in some Primary Villages for the first time(2).

2 The Primary Villages classification now includes the settlements of Bilton, Cherry Burton, Dunswell, Leconfield, Nafferton, North Ferriby, Preston, Swanland, Thorngumbald, Tickton, Walkington, Wawne and Woodmansey. See Policy S3 of the Strategy Document for more details.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 9 1 Part One

1.18 Where a site is smaller than 0.17 hectares or would accommodate fewer than 5 dwellings, it has not been considered for allocating. For employment uses, the site size threshold was 0.25 hectares or more.

How have the sites been assessed?

Site Assessment Methodology

1.19 Each site presented in this document has been assessed using the framework set out in the published Site Assessment Methodology (2011). The Methodology was subject to consultation during its preparation and was developed to fulfil the requirements of Sustainability Appraisal for the Allocations Document. It includes 33 questions that have been considered for all of the potential sites covering topics such as flood risk, landscape character, infrastructure capacity and biodiversity considerations. The Assessment is split into 4 stages:

Stage 1: Initial Assessment and Site Exclusion Stage 2: Initial Ranking Stage 3: Detailed Site Specific Considerations Stage 4: Deliverability

1.20 To answer the questions in the Methodology, the Council has used a variety of sources from consultation responses to published data and studies. These studies form part of the 'evidence base' for the Local Plan and includes the documents listed in paragraph 4.2, as well as:

The East Riding Landscape Character Assessment (2005); The Employment Land Review (2007, 2009) Settlement Conservation Area Appraisals; An East Riding Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (2010); A Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for Goole (2011); An Open Space Review (2010); A Playing Pitch Strategy (2012); and An ongoing Phase 1 Habitat Survey.

1.21 Initial draft site assessments were prepared in 2012 using the Methodology. These were sent to the respective landowner or their agent, as well as the relevant Town or Parish Council for 'fact checking'. This sought to ensure that sites were assessed fairly and correctly in accordance with the Site Assessment Methodology and in the light of all relevant available evidence and knowledge.

10 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Part One 1

How have the draft sites been selected?

1.22 The site assessments have played a key role in selecting the draft allocations that are set out in this document. They provide a consistent basis for comparing the different options and enable the most suitable sites to be selected for future development. This has been informed by ongoing discussions with statutory bodies and Council officers (e.g. highways and drainage).

1.23 Responses to the previous consultation in 2010 have also been important in considering the draft allocations. The various communities of the East Riding put forward their thoughts and opinions, and also provided valuable information that has fed into the assessment of each site. A summary of the key issues identified in each settlement through the previous consultation is set out in each settlement chapter.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 11 1 Part One

How to get involved

The Council would like as many people as possible to have their say on the draft allocations and policies. We will be holding a number of exhibitions, surgeries and workshops during the consultation period to promote the Allocations Document and address any queries and concerns.

You can read this document in libraries, Customer Service Centres and on our website. You may also request a hard copy (for which we have to make a charge to cover printing and postage costs) or a free copy on CD by contacting us by telephone or email.

We would prefer you to tell us what you think by using the simple on-line interactive document. Your comments will go directly to us and you will be able to see what others thought too. However, you can also complete our questionnaire which is available in libraries, Customer Service Centres, online, or on request from us. Emails and letters would also be welcome.

What happens next?

1.24 Your responses and feedback to this document will help to shape the final 'Publication' version of the Allocations Document. This will be a version that the Council considers to be 'sound' (i.e. fit for purpose), which will be consulted on before being formally submitted to the Secretary of State for examination by an independent planning inspector. If it is found to be sound by the inspector, it can then be adopted by the Council.

Locating new development

2.1 The Allocations Document identifies development sites using the Settlement Network and Key Employment Sites set out in Policy S3 of the Strategy Document. This outlines a framework, which is based on a Settlement Network, to ensure that the right level of development takes place in the right places. In general, this means directing most new development to the East Riding's larger settlements. However, the Network also responds to the rural nature of the East Riding by recognising that each settlement performs a different role and function.

2.2 Key Employment Sites have been identified because of their significant opportunity to support employment development over the plan period. They are all located along the East-West Multi-Modal Transport Corridor, which extends from Hedon Haven east of Hull to Goole in the western part of the East Riding. Table 1 and Figure 2 sets out those settlements in the East Riding Settlement Network and the Key Employment Sites.

2.3 The Strategy Document also identifies a number of Villages. For each Village, a development limit (see below) is proposed and these are shown on the Policies Map. A full list of Villages is provided in Appendix A of the Strategy Document.

No residential allocations will be made in settlements marked with a * due to an assessment of flood risk in these settlements.

2.4 All sites put forward that do not comply with Policy S3 in the Strategy Document failed to pass Stage 1 of the Site Assessment Methodology. This includes all sites proposed for residential development which are not in or well-related to the built up area of a settlement in the Settlement Network. For completeness, lists those settlements where allocations for new development will not be made.

Development Limits

2.5 To reflect the Local Plan's objectives for managing growth in the East Riding, development limits will be drawn for all identified settlements and Key Employment Sites. A development limit is the boundary line denoting the main built up part of the settlement or Key Employment Site where certain types of development will be supported (inside the limit) and where a more restrictive 'countryside' approach will be taken (outside the limit).

2.6 As a result, the proposed development limits shown on the Policies Map have been drawn in accordance with the following parameters:

1. Around the main body of a settlement or Key Employment Site (including any draft allocations), limits may be split where appropriate (i.e. in long linear settlements or where settlements have large open spaces and therefore comprise more than one main body).

2. Larger curtilages (e.g. gardens or paddocks) to the rear and side of properties on the edge of the main body of a settlement have been excluded.

3. Uses on the edge of the main body of a settlement that comprise large areas of open space (e.g. farms and schools) will be excluded.

4. In accordance with Policy S4 of the Strategy Document, opportunities to allow for appropriate infill in Villages have been recognised. In some instances land / buildings has also been included to allow for a 'rounding off' of the built form.

Question 1

Do you agree with the four parameters (as set out above) for drawing development limits?

16 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Part Two 2

Question 2

Do you have any comments regarding the proposed development limits for a particular settlement or employment site? (please specify the settlement)

Question 3

Do you have any comments on the draft policies and/or the rejected sites? (please specify the policy or site)

Assumptions

2.7 The Strategy Document provides the overall framework for guiding the scale and type of development in different locations over the plan period. For example, it sets a housing requirement for each of the settlements identified in the Settlement Network (see Chapter 6), an overall land requirement to support employment growth, and the scale of new retail floorspace that will be needed in the Town or District Centres(5).

Residential density

2.8 In respect of residential development, the Strategy Document sets out a policy that seeks to make the most efficient use of land (Policy H4). It identifies a minimum residential density requirement of 30 dwellings per hectare (dph) but seeks higher densities for proposals close to a:

Town or District Centre, or Railway station or core bus route within the Major Haltemprice Settlements, the Principal Towns or Towns.

2.9 Lower density schemes will be supported where the proposed development would reflect the surrounding character, a certain house type is required in that locality or there are significant constraints on the site.

2.10 For the purposes of this document, a density of 35 dph has been used for sites in and around the Major Haltemprice Settlements and Principal Towns. This reflects the propensity for most of the draft allocations in these locations to be within close proximity (800m) of a Town or District Centre, a railway station or core bus route.

5 Town Centres are found in Beverley, Bridlington, Driffield and Goole. District Centres are found in Cottingham, Elloughton cum Brough, Hedon, Hessle, Hornsea, Howden, Market Weighton, Pocklington and Withernsea

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 17 2 Part Two

The exception to this is Driffield where most of the draft allocations are not within these parameters. In this case, and for all other settlements, a density assumption of 30 dph has been applied.

Residential net developable area

2.11 On large sites, the whole site area is not normally developed solely for houses. Some parts of a site are required for other uses, such as major roads or areas of green space that would serve the wider community. In these cases, a 'net developable area' is used to calculate the potential housing capacity of a site. This includes a discount for those parts of a site that would not used for housing. Table 2 sets out the the net developable area assumptions used in this document for a range of different site sizes (e.g. for a site over 5 hectares 75% of the available land is expected to be occupied by houses).

Table 2 Net Developable Area

Site area (ha) Gross to Net Ratio (%)

Up to 0.5 100

0.5 to 2.0 90

2.0 to 5.0 85

Over 5.0 75

General site requirements

2.12 The Strategy Document(6) includes a wide range of policies that will guide the development of individual sites, for example, on the provision of affordable housing, open space and infrastructure. Therefore, it is important that the draft allocations policies are considered alongside relevant policies of the Strategy Document. Only where there is a site-specific requirement has a specific reference been made in the draft allocation policies. For example, some policies refer to specific locations for landscaping or where particular uses should be positioned on site.

6 For sites within Bridlington's town centre, policies in the Bridlington Town Centre Area Action Plan will also be used to determine applications.

18 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Part Two 2

Existing commitments

Residential development

2.13 There are currently a number of sites with planning permission for residential development. These sites are known as commitments and there is a likelihood that they will come forward in the next 5 years.

2.14 As of 1st April 2012, the East Riding had a supply of 3,427 residential plots with planning permission(7). This falls to 2,742 if a 20% discount is applied to account for plots that may not come forward. Over 90% of these are within the identified Settlement Network. The 2,742 plots account for over 11% of the total 23,800 new dwellings required over the plan period. Therefore, a residual requirement is used within this document to identify how much additional land is required in the form of draft allocations, which would accommodate the additional 21,058 dwellings over the plan period.

2.15 Each settlement chapter notes the number of overall committed plots (including a 20% discount) for that settlement. This figure has been used to define the residual requirement for each settlement and inform the identification of draft site allocations. A list of total commitments by settlement is provided in .

Policy ALLOC1 - Existing residential commitments

Those sites shown on the Policies Map as existing residential commitments will continue to be supported for residential development.

2.16 The Policies Map identifies those residential commitments (as of 1st April 2012) which are:

Either 0.17 hectares or more in size, or have permission for 5 or more dwellings; and Within the proposed development limits of the settlements of the Settlement Network.

2.17 The majority of these sites will be delivered within the next 5 years. However, they have been identified on the Policies Map because they contribute to the current supply of housing. When considered alongside the draft allocations they provide a more complete picture of where new development will come forward to deliver the housing requirement for each settlement. As is the case for all sites, any future planning application for these sites will also be determined in accordance with the policies in the Strategy Document.

7 The date of 1st April 2012 is the latest comprehensive data available.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 19 2 Part Two

Other types of development

2.18 For those sites that have planning permission for retail and employment development, only sites specifically allocated for these uses are shown on the Policies Map. In terms of employment development, the draft allocations are based on the recommendations and conclusions of the Employment Land Review. In most cases these are existing commitments and have been allocated to provide greater certainty to the market. A specific policy for each employment site allows the Council to set out its expectations based on the employment requirements for B1, B2 or B8 uses, as outlined in the Employment Land Review. A similar approach has also been adopted for existing retail commitments based on the recommendations of the Town Centres and Retail Study.

2.19 It is important that these commitments are specifically allocated and protected from other forms of development. The bulk of the supply of land for employment and retail development is already committed. Therefore, these sites are crucial to the delivery of the Strategy Document and it will be necessary to ensure that they come forward for these uses.

Key Employment Sites

Melton

Settlement Context

3.1 Melton has been identified as a important employment location for a number of years. Its position adjacent to main road and rail links provides potential for multi-modal access to the City of Hull, Port of Hull and national motorway network. It also is in close proximity to a significant working population, with foot and cycle paths providing links to Elloughton-cum-Brough and the villages of Melton and Welton. In addition, there are bus services providing connections to Hull City Centre, North Cave, South Cave, Swanland, Elloughton-cum-Brough, North Ferriby and Hessle. Therefore, it presents an excellent location for employment development.

3.2 In 2006 a new grade separated junction, which provides direct access from the A63 into the site, was completed to support the development of large scale industrial premises in this area. This has transformed Melton into a very attractive employment site and a number of new business premises have recently been constructed. The size of the site has enabled it to accommodate major employment developments that use, produce, store or distribute bulky goods, complementing the smaller employment sites elsewhere in the East Riding and City of Hull.

3.3 Melton is identified in the Strategy Document as a Key Employment Site. In total, 65ha of land is allocated for employment uses at Melton, the vast majority of which currently has outline planning permission.

22 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

What you told us...

Economic development should be concentrated around the existing business park area that has the infrastructure already in place. Allocations at Melton should be for uses with low density, large scale, requirements to complement (rather than compete with) the offer in the City of Hull. The gap between Melton and Elloughton-cum-Brough should be maintained. Melton is an attractive location for industrial and warehouse uses, and sufficient land must be allocated to serve such uses. Contradicting views were expressed about the amount of land that would be required for employment development at Melton over the plan period. Melton should be considered as a location for residential development.

Site Allocations

3.4 Allocations have been directed towards the existing industrial area to the north of the railway line. This part of the Melton benefits from better connections to the road network, and may also have the potential for rail connections in the longer term. Outline planning permission has already been granted for employment development in these locations.

3.5 The area to the south of the railway line is home to a diverse range of businesses. It will continue to have an important role for the economy, with appropriate expansion and re-development being supported through the Strategy Document. However, specific allocations have not been made here, primarily due to the less accessible nature of these sites and the constraint posed by the need to cross railway line.

Employment Sites

Policy MELT1 - Land east of Low Field Lane (17.8ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and western boundaries;

b. Incorporate good quality pedestrian and cycle routes; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 23 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.6 This site provides a logical extension to the existing Melton West employment development, and is an important part of the Key Employment Site. It currently has outline permission for B1a (offices), B2 (general industrial) and B8 (storage and distribution) uses. The high quality links to the road network enabled by the grade separated junction and dual carriageway that extends into the industrial estate, and the large plot sizes that this site (and MELT23) are able to offer new and expanding businesses seeking premises in a strategic location, are unique in this part of the East Riding. To ensure that the potential of the site is maximised, the majority of development on this site must be in the B2 (general industrial) and B8 (storage and distribution) use classes which are most able to benefit from these features. While the development of ancillary offices with B2 and B8 premises is likely to be appropriate, B1a (Office)uses are classified in National Planning Policy as a 'town centre use' and must be limited to ensure that they do not adversely impact on the viability and vitality of town centres or the regeneration of Hull City Centre. Proposals for offices premises will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document.

3.7 Vehicular access should be provided through the continuation of the existing road through Melton West, Wyke Way. This should be accompanied by good quality pedestrian and cycle routes, which link into the existing foot and cycle paths along Monks Way, to maximise the opportunities for employees wishing to travel to work by sustainable means. The creation of a landscaping belt to the northern and western boundaries of the site will be required to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

3.8 Due to the large size of this allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy MELT3/4/5 - Remaining development plots in in Melton West phase 1 (3.23ha)

These sites are allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for the replacement of the bowling green.

3.9 These sites are the remaining undeveloped parts of phase 1 of the Melton West Business Park. They are likely to be suitable for B1, B2 or B8 uses, which would complement the surrounding uses on the existing industrial estate. Office (B1a) uses are classified in National Planning Policy as a 'town centre use' and proposals for office premises must have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document. One of these plots (shown as MELT3 on the Policies Map) is currently in

24 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

use as a bowling green, and proposals here will be required to make provision for the replacement of of this valued community facility within the local area before work to redevelop the site commences.

Policy MELT23 - Land at Melton Park (43.39ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the western boundary;

b. Incorporate good quality pedestrian and cycle routes; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.10 This site lines the gateway into the strategically important Key Employment Site at Melton. It currently has outline permission for B1a (offices), B2 (general industrial) and B8 (storage and distribution) uses, which complement the employment development that has already taken place at Melton West and Melton Enterprise Park. The site benefits from direct access onto the dual carriageway and grade separated junction which connects the industrial estate to the A63, and so offers unrivalled access to the East-West Multi Modal Corridor. Similarly, the large plot sizes that this site will be able to offer to new and expanding businesses seeking premises in this strategic location are unique in this part of the East Riding. To ensure that the potential of the site is maximised the majority of development must be within the B2 and B8 use classes, which are most able to benefit from these features. While the development of ancillary offices with B2 and B8 premises is likely to be appropriate, B1a (Office) uses are classified in National Planning Policy as a 'town centre use' and must be limited to ensure that they do not adversely impact on the viability and vitality of town centres or the regeneration of Hull City Centre. Proposals for offices premises will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document.

3.11 Vehicular access into the site should be provided from Monks Way. This should be accompanied by good quality pedestrian and cycle routes into and through the site, which link into the existing paths along Monks Way, to maximise the opportunities for employees wishing to travel to work by sustainable means. An existing significant landscaping belt next to the eastern boundary separates this site from residential development in North Ferriby, though substantial landscaping will also be required along the western boundary of the site to screen the development and maintain the residential amenity of residential properties along Gibson Lane. Wherever possible existing mature trees and hedges should be incorporated into the development to help integrate the development into the surrounding area, and minimise the impact on the natural environment.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 25 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.12 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy MELT25 - Land adjacent to the Sandpiper (1.5ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use development, including B1(a) offices, retail units, a hotel and a children's play area. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide noise reduction fencing to the western site boundary.

3.13 This site currently has reserved matters permission for the development of a office block, two retail units, a 126 bed hotel and a children's play area. The amount of retail development must be limited to ensure that it is justified and appropriate for this out of town location, and any revised proposals for similar 'town centre uses' on this site will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document. The mix of uses should complement the development of the adjacent business parks, and the children's play area will provide an important community facility. To ensure that the residential amenity of neighbouring residential properties is maintained, noise reduction fencing must be installed to the western site boundary.

Policy MELT26 - Land to front of Melton Enterprise Park (1.1ha)

This site is allocated for employment development.

3.14 This site comprises the remaining undeveloped part of the Melton Business and Enterprise Park. It benefits from outline permission for B1, B2 or B8 uses, and any proposal should complement the units that have already been constructed. Any revised proposal which include office (B1a) premises, which is defined as a 'town centre use', will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document.

26 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Rejected Site MELT5r

This part of the site has now been developed.

Rejected Site MELT6

This site is is not well related to the existing areas of employment development and would result in significant incursion of built form into open countryside, detracting from built and landscape character. It is also subject to access constraints due to its position to the south of the railway line.

Rejected Site MELT7

The development of this site would result in significant incursion of built form into open countryside, detracting from built and landscape character. It is also subject to access constraints due to its position to the south of the railway line and the majority of site in an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

Rejected Site MELT8

The position of this site to the south of the railway line poses access constraints, and it has more limited potential to cater for for general employment development due to the nature of the adjacent uses. The site is also in an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

Rejected Site MELT9

The majority of site is already developed. Access constraints are posed by its position south of the railway, and the development of land to west of existing development would be likely to have adverse impact on built and landscape character.

Humber Bridgehead

Settlement Context

3.16 Overlooking the Humber Bridge, the Humber Bridgehead site has been identified as a high quality business park in a parkland setting, with offices, research and development facilities and light industrial units. It is situated where the A164 meets the A63 and benefits from excellent access to the Major Haltemprice Settlements, City of Hull and M62. The Humber Bridge also provides it with a direct link into Lincolnshire.

3.17 Bridgehead is identified in the Strategy Document as a Key Employment Site. The Employment Land Review recognised the potential offered by the Bridgehead sites and recommended that they should be retained as employment land allocations. In total 19.36ha of land is identified as an allocation for employment development, all of which currently has outline planning permission.

What you told us...

These sites should be allocated as key strategic employment sites. The site is the gateway to the East Riding, and this should be taken into account when considering potential uses and the design of the site. Development in this location should be high quality. Concern that the Humber Bridge Country Park could be compromised if open land and links into the area are lost. Full consideration needs to be made of the impact that the development of this site will have on the road network.

30 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Site Allocations

Employment Sites

Policy HES5/6 - Humber Bridgehead (19.36ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Deliver a high quality of design, external appearance and landscaping;

b. Deliver improvements to the highway network that mitigate the impact of the development;

c. Incorporate pedestrian, cycle routes and bus routes within the site; and

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.18 These two sites comprise the Humber Bridgehead Key Employment Site. They will have a significant role in supporting growth in the economy of the East Riding over the plan period with their development into a high quality business park providing a unique offer for new and expanding businesses seeking new premises. This site currently has planning permission for development for B1 uses, alongside two A3 restaurant/cafe units. Work has recently commenced on the first phase of development. The low density business park nature of development on this site will mean that it provides an alternative offer for businesses that complements, rather than competes, with office development in Hull City Centre. The A3 units that have been permitted within the site must be ancillary to the proposed B1 development, which will maximise the site's contribution to the growth of the East Riding economy. In addition, A3 and B1(a) uses are classified in National Planning Policy as a 'town centre use' and proposals for these uses would need to have regard to Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document. This is to ensure that they do not adversely impact on the viability and vitality of town centres or the regeneration of Hull City Centre.

3.19 It is essential that the design, appearance and layout of development on this site reflects the prominent position of the site, its proximity to the iconic Humber Bridge, the Country Park and the high quality of the surrounding landscape. Landscaping should be integral to the overall design of the site, complementing the existing trees within and on the boundaries to the site. This will ensure that the development integrates well with its surrounding environment, and makes the most of its unique location. There are areas of potentially contaminated land in the south west corner of the site, due to the presence of a garage and vehicle workshops, which will require appropriate investigation (and remediation if necessary) prior to development commencing.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 31 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.20 Access into the sites should come from Boothferry Road, and by accompanied by appropriate highway improvements to ensure that the development does not have an adverse impact on the safe and efficient operation of the highway network. Pedestrian and cycle routes should be provided within the site which connect with the existing network. Bus stops should also be integrated within the development. This will help to ensure that opportunities for employees to travel to the site by sustainable means of transport are maximised.

3.21 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Hedon Haven

Settlement Context

3.22 Hedon Haven is located between Salt End, Hedon and Paull, south of the A1033 and in close proximity to the Port of Hull. It has been identified as having particular potential to support the economy of the East Riding over the plan period by catering for the expansion of the Port of Hull. This potential has been recognised by Government at a national level, through the designation of 80ha of land in this location as part of the 'Humber Green Port Corridor Enterprise Zone'.

3.23 The Employment Land Review identifies the need for a significant amount of land to be allocated at Hedon Haven. This will ensure that the East Riding is able to maximise the opportunities that are likely to be presented in port related sectors over the plan period. Therefore, Hedon Haven has been identified as a Key Employment Site in the Strategy Document. In total, 240ha of land is proposed to be allocated here for port related employment uses, which includes the 80ha that is designated as part of the Enterprise Zone.

32 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

What you told us...

Hedon Haven could have an important role in supporting and diversifying the economy of the East Riding. The impact that development could have on the protected habitats and species of the Humber Estuary needs to be carefully considered. Development in this location may have a significant impact on the road network and this will need to be assessed. It should be ensured that development on this site can be achieved in a manner that safeguards the elements which contribute to the significance of heritage assets in the vicinity.

Site Allocations

Employment Sites

Policy HAV1/2 - Hedon Haven (240ha)

This site is allocated to cater for the expansion of the Port of Hull. Proposals will be required to:

a. Ensure that they have no adverse impact on the integrity of the Humber Estuary Special Protection Area and Special Area of Conservation and, if necessary, providing appropriate mitigation measures;

b. Mitigate their impact on the road network, incorporating a direct road link to Alexandra Dock and the provision of a Park and Ride facility in the northern part of the site or other such measures as are necessary;

c. Maintain the visibility that significant historic features within the landscape have of each other;

d. Provide a landscaped buffer to all external site boundaries, which incorporates landscape enhancement measures appropriate to the surrounding landscape character;

e. Maintain clear separation between the proposed development and the settlements of Paull and Hedon;

f. Incorporate or divert the existing public Right of Way that runs along the waterfront and across the eastern part of the site; and

g. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems potentially including significant regional detention systems and/or permanent pumping capacity or other such measures as are necessary.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 33 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.24 This site is allocated due to the potential that it offers to support the economy of the East Riding, and the Humber sub-region more generally. Due the lack of alternatives for businesses that need to be located in close proximity to the facilities and businesses within the existing Port of Hull complex, the site is allocated for port related employment uses only. Significant growth is expected in port related sectors over the plan period as a result of the development of Green Port Hull and the expansion of the offshore renewable energy sector in the North Sea. Restricting the development of this site will ensure that the most effective use is made of this limited resource, and ensure that the East Riding is in a prime position to benefit from this growth potential over the short, medium and long term.

3.25 A number of evidence base studies have been prepared to inform the development of the site (8). These have been complemented by a more detailed Integrated Environmental Assessment which considers the impact of the proposals outlined in the the emerging Local Development Order (which relates to 80ha of the allocation proposed in this plan - shown as HAV1 on the Policies Map). The data and evidence contained within these reports will provide valuable information for developers and should be taken into account as detailed proposals for this site are prepared.

3.26 This site is adjacent to the Humber Estuary, which is a Special Protection Areas (SPA), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), a Ramsar site and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Consequently, all proposals will need to satisfy the requirements of the Habitats Regulations.

3.27 Assessment against the Habitats Regulations will need to be undertaken when any planning application for development on this site is prepared to enable full account to be taken of the details of the proposal. This assessment should consider all of the features for which the SAC/SPA has been designated (such as the estuarine habitats and birds) that could be affected by the proposal (both alone and in combination with other plans, programmes or projects) and identify the likely effects that the proposal may have and the relative significance of these. Regard should also be had to any scope for biodiversity enhancement to be delivered as part of the proposal. If any likely significant effects on species or habitats are identified, mitigation measures to avoid or reduce these should be incorporated into the proposal and agreed with Natural England to ensure that the proposal will not have an adverse impact. If the impact on the Humber Estuary cannot be fully mitigated (and so the proposal cannot be delivered without it having an adverse impact on the integrity of the designated nature conservation sites) then it will not satisfy the requirements of this policy.

3.28 The development of this site has the potential to have a significant impact on the road network, which must be mitigated, and a comprehensive transport assessment and travel plan must accompany any planning application. The provision of a direct road link between the site and Alexandra Dock (within the existing operational port area) via the north of the Salt End Chemical Works, will be required to support the development. This will enable goods and abnormal loads to move efficiently between

8 Topics covered include Agricultural Land, Cultural Heritage, Flood Risk, Geoenvironmental Conditions, Landscape and Visual Amenity, Noise and Water Quality.

34 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

the site and the Port of Hull without having to use the main highway, and so minimise the number of additional vehicle movements on the wider road network. This link road will need to be constructed in the first phase of the development of this site. Opportunities for a rail link to run alongside the required road, which would help to enhance both the sustainability and efficiency of transporting bulky goods between the site, the Port and the rest of the country, should also be explored when detailed proposals for the site are developed.

3.29 The Transport Assessment being undertaken for the emerging LDO has identified that the provision of the link road and the use of travel planning measures (which look to maximise the opportunities for employees to access and use sustainable modes of transport) would likely be sufficient in order to facilitate the development of the first 80ha of the site. However, the Transport Assessment for the wider sitehas identified that additional measures will need to be incorporated over the longer term in order to support the development of the full allocation. The creation of a Park and Ride facility in the northern part of the site, immediately to the south of the A1033, will particularly help to mitigate the impact of additional development and meet the identified need for a Park and Ride facility to be provided to the East of Hull. This is likely to require the physical improvement of key junctions on the surrounding road network.

3.30 When developing detailed proposals for this site, consideration needs to be made of the significance of the heritage assets in the surrounding area and the role that these assets play in the experience and understanding of the Holderness landscape. Of particular note is the setting of the Grade 1 Listed Churches of St Augustine in Hedon, St Andrew at Paull and All Saints at Preston. The views of these churches from each other are an important aspect of their setting, and should be maintained through the sensitive design and layout of development on the site. A holistic approach to reflecting these features whilst considering the wider impact of the development of the landscape will need to be taken, as simply providing 'channels' or sightlines through the site to maintain views of the churches may be likely to result in 'pockets' of development that seep visually into the landscape and so detract from the wider landscape character.

3.31 The external boundaries of development on this site should be clearly defined through the planting of hedgerows or other appropriate landscaping. This will prevent development from appearing to 'sprawl' into the surrounding countryside, and so limit the impact that it has on the open character of the landscape. Existing field patterns within and bordering the site are an important element of the landscape and contribute to the sense of place, and so where possible they should be strengthened through the planting and improvement of existing hedgerows. Proposals should also seek to limit the amount and density of buildings along the waterfront and provide a comprehensive landscaped buffer in order to retain the feeling of separation between the Paull Conservation Area and any development proposed on this site. This will also help to ensure that residential amenity in Paull is maintained. Similarly along the A1033 comprehensive landscaping combined with the sensitive design and layout of development should be employed to make sure that development

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 35 3 Beverley & Central sub area

on this site appears distinct from Hedon, ensuring that the perception of separation is maintained and that development does not detract from the setting of the Hedon Conservation Area or the residential amenity of those living within the town.

3.32 There may also be potential for parts of the site to be contaminated, due to the former brick and tile yard that was located on the site in the late 1800's, it's proximity to the Salt End Chemical works to the north west (and to a lesser extent the shipyard to the south-west in Paull, and the light industrial uses to the south) and the underlying natural alluvium. This will require appropriate investigation (and remediation/mitigation if necessary) prior to development commencing.

3.33 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. The site is exceptionally flat and there are high groundwater levels. Therefore, the SuDS systems proposed will need to incorporate significant regional detention systems except where permanent pumping capacity has been installed to allow constant discharge directly into the Humber. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

36 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Major Haltemprice Settlements

Anlaby Willerby Kirk Ella

Settlement Context

3.34 Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella are three settlements which have physically merged together. They lie immediately west of the City of Hull and are largely suburban in nature, with Kirk Ella being the most westerly. The area is separated from Hessle, Cottingham and parts of Hull by highly valued open spaces. It is an aspirational place to live, where people can enjoy a high quality of life. This is reflected in house types and prices, as well as the profile of the people who live in the area.

3.35 Anlaby and Willerby Squares have traditionally been a focus for retail, community and leisure developments. The centre of Kirk Ella, which is within a Conservation Area, still retains some of the grander curtilages of its 18th and 19th century merchant houses and it has kept unspoilt the great majority of its historic core around the Church. It has a village feel with fewer local facilities. There are small concentrations of shops and services located at Anlaby Common and Kingston Road, as well as larger retail parks on Springfield Way and Great Gutter Lane. The main centres of employment uses are located at the Great Gutter Lane industrial estate, along Springfield Way and at Willerby Hill.

3.36 The settlements have excellent road and public transport transport links to the City of Hull via the B1232 (Kingston Road) and the B1237 (Springfield Way/Hull Road). The area is also well connected to Beverley and the strategic road network by the A164.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 37 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.37 Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella are included as part of the Major Haltemprice Settlement in the Strategy Document. A total of 3,450 new houses are proposed for all of the Major Haltemprice Settlements, which also includes Hessle and Cottingham, over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (33 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate eight sites for residential development and two sites for employment use. The Strategy Document also supports highway improvements to the A164, and drainage and flood alleviation schemes that may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Support for retaining strategic open space between Cottingham, Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella, Hull, and Hessle. Opposition to development on Anlaby Common due to potential impact on biodiversity and amenity. Opposition to development on Anlaby allotments and the grassland immediately to the north, due to potential impact on amenity (loss of the allotments), biodiversity and highways. Opposition to development north of Well Lane, Willerby due to potential impact on flood risk, loss of amenity, and loss of strategic open space between Willerby and Cottingham.

Site Allocations

3.38 The allocations have been selected where they are well related to main body of the settlement, local services, transport links and community facilities. Sites that would result in a significant intrusion into the key open areas between Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella, and Cottingham, Hessle and Hull have been avoided. Where necessary sites have been reduced in size to mitigate against any impact on these open gaps. Where a site would result in a minor intrusion, the policy has sought to ensure that significant additional planting is carried out in order to minimise the visual impact.

3.39 Sites have been rejected where they would create an excessive extension of the built form into the open countryside, or result in the loss of valuable open amenity space, allotments or playing fields. Development has also been directed away from greenfield sites within areas of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a), as well as the Springhead groundwater Source Protection Zone.

38 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Housing Sites

Policy AWK1 - Tranby Croft Farm (2.08ha)

This site is allocated for a mixed use including housing or employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Have regard to the character and setting of the listed buildings within the site; and

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and western boundaries.

3.40 Proposals should support the viable re-use, for either residential or employment purposes, and appropriate conversion of the Grade II Listed Building within the site. This would help to secure the long term retention and maintenance of this important heritage asset. Part of the open land to the north and west of the buildings has also been included in the draft allocation, which along additional landscaping, will assist in the aim to provide a logical rounding off to the built form of the settlement. The site has been given a reduced indicative capacity figure of 46 dwellings, if developed entirely for residential purposes, which reflects the need to have regard to the character and setting of the listed buildings on the site.

Policy AWK2 - Former Camp, Beverley Road (9.18ha)

The site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary and to retain existing trees within the site wherever possible; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.41 This site, which is outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a), is reasonably well related to the existing settlement pattern and has good access to existing services and facilities. Whilst it does intrude into the open gap that separates Kirkella from Hessle, this impact is not considered to be significant due to the existing frontage development along Beverley Road. Any impact would also be mitigated through the additional planting that would need to be provided along the southern boundary of the site. This will help to create a soft edge to the built form and integrate new development into the surrounding landscape. The expected indicative capacity of this site has been reduced to around 193 dwellings, which could include an element of extra care accommodation, and reflects the need to provide additional landscaping and retain important trees within the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 39 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.42 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy AWK3 - Land off Lowfield Road (4.58ha)

The site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the protected trees within the site, especially along the frontage to Lowfield Road;

b. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with site AWK4/5.

3.43 This site is well related to the existing settlement pattern and is outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Whilst it does project southwards into part of the open gap to Hessle, the impact of this is limited due to the presence of the Hospital and Care Homes buildings further to the south. The expected indicative capacity of this site has been reduced to 109 dwellings. This takes account of the need to retain the majority of the trees within the site, especially to the frontage along Lowfield Road.

3.44 In order to ensure surface water flooding does not pose a risk to new development significant compensatory measures would be needed. An Anlaby Flood Alleviation Scheme is at the early stages of development which could potentially address surface water flood risk in this area. Development of the site, as well as site AWK4/5, has potential to help bring this scheme forward. Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should, alongside AWK4/5, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy AWK4/5 - Land Between Lowfield Road and First Lane (7.64ha)

The site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries;

b. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with site AWK3.

40 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

3.45 The majority of the site lies outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) and is reasonably well related to the existing settlement pattern. Whilst it does intrude into the open gap between Anlaby and Hessle, the impact is considered to be limited due to the existing frontage development along First Lane and Lowfield Road. The presence of the Hospital and Care Homes buildings on the opposite side of Lowfield Road also avoid the narrowing of the open gap. Any impact would be mitigated by additional planting along the southern and eastern boundaries of the site. The expected indicative capacity of the site has been reduced to 201, which takes account of the need to provide a strong landscaped buffer strip to these boundaries. In order to maximise the development potential of the site, outdoor playing and amenity space should be located at the eastern parts of the site where this is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

3.46 In order to ensure surface water flooding does not pose a risk to new development significant compensatory measures, such as flood water storage infrastructure,would be needed to manage overland flow from the west. An Anlaby Flood Alleviation Scheme is at the early stages of development which could potentially address surface water flood risk in this area. Development of the site, as well as site AWK3, has the potential to help bring this scheme forward. Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should, alongside AWK3, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy AWK19 - Lane to the North of Well Lane (9.02ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and eastern boundaries; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.47 This site relates reasonably well to the existing settlement pattern and largely lies outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). The extent of the draft allocation has been limited to minimise its intrusion into the open gap and this impact is already mitigated by the existing housing development to the west. Additional landscaping will be required along the northern and eastern boundary to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The site is expected to contribute some 237 dwellings to meet the overall strategic requirement. In order to maximise the development potential form the site, some of the required outdoor play and amenity space could be located in the southern part within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 41 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.48 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. SuDS should aim to reduce existing run off from the site southwards. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy AWK23 - Land to the South of Great Gutter Lane West (19.05ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the western boundary;

b. Retain and, where possible, incorporate the existing significant groups of trees within the site into the new development; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.49 This large site provides a logical rounding off of the settlement between the existing housing development to the south and the retail park to the north east. With an expected access to Beverley Road, it will have good links to the services and facilities within the settlement as well as connections to the public transport network. There are some significant groups of trees within the site and these should be retained where possible and incorporated into the development. Additional landscaping will be required along the western boundary to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The expected indicative capacity of this site has been reduced to 400 dwellings. This takes account of the relatively steep sloping land on part of the site and the need for the additional landscaping.

3.50 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy AWK37 - Land East of Main Street (0.37ha)

The site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the eastern boundary.

3.51 This site relates well to the existing pattern of development, does not intrude into sensitive open countryside and lies in an area of low flood risk. The site has an indicative capacity of 13 dwellings. Proposals will be expected to provide a soft edge to the eastern boundary in order to mitigate impacts on the open area beyond.

42 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Policy AWK38 - Wolfreton Upper School (2.36ha)

The site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a vehicular access to the land to the south; and b. Retain the mature trees within the western part of this site.

3.52 The closure of this part of the school, and its incorporation onto the Lower School site, has provided an opportunity to re-use this previously developed site for housing. It is already within the built up area and has excellent connections to the services and facilities available. The expected indicative capacity of this site has been set as 91 and would include the re-development of the school buildings. It will be necessary to ensure the retention of the mature trees within the western part of the site. Access to the former school playing fields to the south must be provided through the development site. Open space provision within the site will be expected to be made in the currently undeveloped western part of the site.

Employment Sites

Policy AWK39 - Land at Springfield Way (1.91ha)

This site is allocated for employment use.

3.53 The site lies next to an existing employment area and benefits from extant planning permission for the development of warehouse units in the B8 Use Class (Storage and Distribution). Development for this, or other employment uses, are likely to be appropriate.

Policy AWK40 - Willerby Hill Business Park (4.10ha)

This site is allocated for employment use.

3.54 This site forms the remaining undeveloped part of the Willerby Hill Business Park. Located on the site of the former De La Pole Hospital, the site was formerly allocated for office development in Beverley Borough Local Plan and the first two phases of the business park have now been completed. It currently has planning permission for office development which will complete the business park.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 43 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.55 It has been demonstrated through these planning applications that office (B1a) units, which are classified as a 'town centre use', would not have an adverse impact on the viability and vitality of town centres or the regeneration of Hull City Centre. Proposals for office uses will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document.

3.56 The church at the crematorium is located to the south of the site and is a Grade II Listed Building. Proposals should ensure that they do not have an adverse impact on the character or setting of this heritage asset. In addition, the trees within and on the boundaries to the site are subject to Tree Preservation Orders, and should be retained as part of any development.

Rejected Sites

3.57 This section lists those potential sites in Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site AWK1r

Development of this site would extend the built form of the settlement out into open land. The Landscape Character Assessment defines this area of landscape as having high sensitivity to development. Exclusion of this site would allow for a logical rounding off the settlement boundary in this area.

50 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Cottingham

Settlement Context

3.58 Cottingham is located to the western boundary of the City of Hull. It is separated from Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella, which lie to the south, by a highly valued key open space that is largely comprised of farmland and recreation spaces. There are good links to the A164, Humber Bridge to Driffield route, as well as a train station situated on the Yorkshire Coast Hull to Scarborough route. In addition, good bus links are available into the city of Hull.

3.59 Cottingham is popularly known as the largest village in England. Beyond the central shopping area its character soon becomes residential, with the larger historic dwellings, normally with larger gardens, located to the south of its central core. The University of Hull has an important presence in the settlement with its Halls of Residence and Cottingham is a convenient and attractive place to live. Architecturally diverse, but with a similarity of scale and materials, the village has retained a cohesion which has allowed its historic core to remain relatively intact. The village’s close proximity to Hull has not yet resulted in its urban and suburban expansion overwhelming the innate village character of Cottingham and it is important that this separation is maintained.

3.60 The main industrial areas within the settlement are focused around Station Road and Dunswell Road. In addition, office developments have been established at nearby Willerby Hill. Cottingham has a wide range of services and facilities, including shops, community services, a primary and secondary school, college, health facilities and leisure and cultural facilities, including the Castle Hill Community Hospital.

3.61 Cottingham is identified as part of the Major Haltemprice Settlement in the Strategy Document. A total of 3,450 new houses are proposed for all of the Major Haltemprice Settlements, which also includes Anlaby/Willerby/Kirkella and Hessle, over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that have planning permission (142 dwellings), nine draft residential allocations have been proposed. The East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study has identified that there is capacity for 600m2 to 1,200m2 of new retail floorspace in Cottingham, which will be met by one proposed mixed use allocation. The Strategy Document supports highway improvements to the A164, and drainage and flood alleviation schemes which may be required in the area.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 51 3 Beverley & Central sub area

What you told us...

Support for retaining strategic open space between Cottingham, Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella and Hull. Concern about the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development. Concern expressed over the capacity of the infrastructure including sewerage, roads, schools and health services. None of the sites are suitable for development. Good quality agricultural land, and areas at flood risk, should be avoided. Need new employment for new residents. Developers should be required by Local Authorities to provide amenities/facilities to address local ecological/social issues, for example allotments. Opposition to development South of Canada Drive due to potential impact on highways, school provision, and parking.

Site Allocations

3.62 The proposed site allocations have been selected where they are well related to main body of the settlement, local services, transport links and community facilities. Sites that would result in a significant intrusion into the key open areas between Cottingham and Anlaby/Willerby/Kirkella and Hull have been avoided. Where necessary sites have been reduced in size to mitigate against any impact on these open gaps. Where a site would result in a minor intrusion, the policy has sought to ensure that significant additional planting is carried out in order to minimise the visual impact.

3.63 Sites have been rejected where they would create an excessive extension of the built form into the open countryside, or result in the loss of valuable open amenity space, allotments or playing fields. Development has also been directed away from greenfield sites within areas of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a), as well as the various groundwater Source Protection Zones.

3.64 Policy A1 of the Strategy Document restricts housing allocations for Cottingham from coming forward until detailed hydraulic modelling of the area has been completed, and the Cottingham and the Orchard Park Flood Alleviation Scheme (COPFAS) has been implemented. This is necessary to ensure that peak flows of surface water do not overwhelm the sewer system.

Housing Sites

3.65 See also the retail section below for the COT14 mixed use site that would include residential development.

52 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Policy COT1 - Land to the South of Castle Road (6.86ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary of the site; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.66 This site is reasonably well related to the existing pattern of the settlement and housing development would not result in a significant intrusion into the open gap between Cottingham and Willerby. The existing development along Willerby Low Road and to the east of this, together with the new garden centre and car parks on Castle Road, provide a logical rounding off between them for the new edge of the built up area. Suitable landscaping to the southern boundary will be required in order to soften the impact on the open land beyond. The land is also outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). A capacity figure of 180 dwellings has been estimated for the site.

3.67 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy COT3/3a/39 - Land South of The Garth/Abbots Walk (5.64ha)

This site is allocated for mixed uses including housing development and open space. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for the relocation of the existing playing field in the north west corner of the site to the south western corner;

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries; and

c. Incorporate sustainable urban drainage systems.

3.68 This site is well located in terms of proximity to the town centre. Whilst it does intrude into the open area between Cottingham and Willerby, it would not close the gap due to the presence of existing development to the west. Parts of the identified site are within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). In order to maximise the development potential of the site, the existing playing fields in the north west corner will need to be relocated to other parts of the site within Flood Zone 3a. The additional outdoor play space and amenity land required as result of the development can also be located within this area. Landscaping will be required

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 53 3 Beverley & Central sub area

along the southern and eastern boundaries to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The notional capacity figure for this site has been set at 102 dwellings due to the need to provide for the relocated playing field.

3.69 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy COT13 - Land to North of Station Road (2.04 ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Ensure that vehicular access is taken only from the southern end of the site.

3.70 The draft allocation involves the redevelopment of a brownfield site and offer the opportunity to improve the built character of the Conservation Area. It is also well related to the town centre of Cottingham. Vehicular access would need to be provided from the southern end of the site with pedestrian and cycle access only from the northern end of Station Road. The site is estimated to be able to contribute 61 dwellings towards the housing requirement for Cottingham.

Policy COT16/17 - Land east and west of Park Lane (2.58 ha)

This site is allocated for mixed uses including housing development and open space. Proposals will be required to:

a. Include for housing development on the part of the site to the west of Park Lane only;

b. Provide for the relocation of the existing playing fields on the housing part of the site onto the part of the site to the east of Park Lane; and

c. Avoid any built form of development within any parts of the site that lie within the source protection zone 1.

3.71 This site lies in outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) and has reasonable connections to the town centre along Park Lane. It will help to link the Badgers Wood development to the main part of the settlement. In order to facilitate the housing development the existing playing fields on this part of the site must be relocated onto the land to the east of Park Lane. A small area of the site lies within

54 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

the Source Protection Zone 1 and any built development must avoid this area. The relocated open space area will be entirely within the Source Protection Zone 1. The notional estimated capacity for the developable area of this site is 53 dwellings.

Policy COT18 - Ferens Hall, Northgate (3.91ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the important mature trees within the site; and

b. Retain, as far as possible, the open parkland setting of the site.

3.72 This site is very well located in terms of access to the town centre and other facilities. Proposals will need to respect and, wherever possible, retain the open parkland setting and character of the site, especially when viewed from Northgate. Possibilities may exist for retention and conversion of some of the existing buildings within the site, which may help to reduce the impact of redevelopment. The site has been given an estimated notional capacity of 116 which may include some higher density elements.

Policy COT20/21/49/50 - Land South of Harland Way (11.84ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the eastern and southern edges of the site and also to the Harland Way frontage;

b. Avoid any built form of development within the western part of the site that lies within the Source Protection Zone 1;

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

d. Prepare a development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

3.73 This draft allocation provides an opportunity for significant new development to take place in outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a)and the Source Protection Zone 1. Existing housing development to the south of Eppleworth Road, and the Cottingham High School complex to the north, provides for the infilling of this area as an extension to the settlement. The site has reasonable links to the town centre and local facilities, which would be enhanced by the creation of pedestrian and cycle access through to Harland Way and Eppleworth Road where possible.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 55 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Significant landscaping works will be required to the western and southern edges in order to soften the built form. Additional planting to Harland Way would also help to maintain and enhance the green entrance to the village.

3.74 The majority of the outdoor play and amenity space required as part of the development would need to be located on the western edge of the site. This will help mitigate the impact of the development on both the open areas beyond and on the Source Protection Zone 1. The estimated contribution towards the housing requirement for Cottingham from this site is expected to be 310 dwellings.

3.75 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

3.76 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy COT23 - Newgate Street/Longmans Lane (0.22ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

3.77 This small site, which is located in the Cottingham Conservation Area and very well related to the town centre, has an indicative capacity of 7 dwellings. It comprises the remaining part of a housing allocation in the Beverley Borough Local Plan and remains suitable for development. Any scheme must be designed having regard to the need to preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.

Policy COT27/28 - Land North of Harland Way (5.37ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and enhance the existing belts of trees to the southern and eastern edges of the site and provide additional landscaping to the northern boundary; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.78 This site, which lies on the north western edge of the settlement, is outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) and outside the Source Protection Zone 1. It is also very well related to the High School. Subject to the retention of the well established tree belts it provides an opportunity for new development that would

56 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

not be unduly prominent. The retention of the existing strong tree belt to the frontage of Harland Way will also help to maintain the green entrance to the village. Additional landscaping will be required along the northern boundary to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The site has a notional estimated capacity figure of 141 dwellings.

3.79 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Retail Sites

Policy COT14 - Land at Needler Hall (1.67ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use development including retail and housing uses. Proposals will be required to:

a. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed.

3.80 There are no available sites within the Centre of Cottingham to meet the need for new retail development. This site is within an edge of centre location and is considered suitable for retail development as part of a mixed use development. Retail floorspace should be directed towards the south eastern part of the site which is closely related to the Centre for Cottingham. The retail element will be expected to provide up to 1200m2 of floorspace, which would meet the need identified in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document. As the site lies within the Conservation Area, any scheme will need to have regard to its character and appearance. The contribution to the housing requirements from this site is assessed as 26 dwellings.

3.81 Proposals will need to ensure that an existing capacity issue in the surface water sewer system around the site does not pose a risk to new development on the site and should contribute to resolving this issue.

Gypsy and Traveller Site

Policy COT54 - Land at Eppleworth Road (1.33ha)

This site is allocated for the provision of new Gypsy and Traveller pitches. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide landscaping to the southern and western edges of the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 57 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.82 This site will provide for 13 pitches and is close to the services and facilities of Cottingham. It will contribute towards meeting the need for deliverable pitches in the first 5 years of the Local Plan, which is set out in Policy H3 of the Strategy Document. Access can be taken from the existing site to the north and landscaping would be required along the southern and western edges of the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 65 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Hessle

Settlement Context

3.84 Hessle lies immediately west of the City of Hull and is separated from Anlaby to the north by highly valued open spaces. It is adjacent to the Humber Estuary and close to the villages of North Ferriby and Swanland. The Yorkshire Wolds extends to the west the of the town, which is the starting point for the Wolds Way National Trail.

3.85 The Humber Bridge dominates the skyline of Hessle and the surrounding area. Beneath the Bridge, the Country Park provides an important and much valued space for recreation which was developed in a former chalk quarry. In addition, the Estuary itself is an important ecological asset. The Square is the focus for shops and services, as well as being the main public transport (bus) hub in Hessle. There are good road links, due to the town's position on the A15/A63/A164 network, with frequent bus services into Hull, and rail connections to Hull, Doncaster and York.

3.86 Economic activity is located in a number of places throughout Hessle, including the former shipbuilding area on Livingstone Road. Employment development has also taken place on the site of the former Priory railway sidings. Alongside office developments at Hesslewood Hall, this has ensured that Hessle has a broad economic base. This complements the new employment development that will take place at the Humber Bridgehead site, which is identified in the Strategy Document as a key employment site.

3.87 Hessle is identified as part of the Major Haltemprice Settlement in the Strategy Document. A total of 3,450 new houses are proposed for the Major Haltemprice Settlements, which also includes Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella and Cottingham, over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings with planning permission (91 dwellings) five sites have been identified as proposed housing allocations. The Strategy Document supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes, highway improvements to the A164, and improvements to the A63/A15 Humber Bridgehead interchange which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Hessle is a gateway into the East Riding form Hull and North Lincolnshire. Developers should be required by Local Authorities to provide amenities/facilities to address local ecological/social issues, for example allotments. The open spaces between Hessle and villages in all directions should be protected and development near the country park should be sympathetic and broaden its appeal. Development at the top of the hill/west Hessle will lead to increased surface water in other areas. Relatively recent development in this area has lead to increased occurrences of flooding to the east. Hessle should develop in a way that it retains its character, yet offers modern amenities required in the 21st Century. The area of high landscape value needs to be considered. Traffic congestion is already an issue and additional development will only worsen the problem.

Site Allocations

3.88 The allocations have been selected where they are well related to main body of the settlement, local services, transport links and community facilities. Sites that would result in a significant intrusion into the key open areas between Hessle and Anlaby/Willerby/Kirkella and Hull have been avoided. Where necessary potential sites have been reduced in size to mitigate against any impact on these open gaps and additional planting required in order to minimise any visual impact.

3.89 Sites have been rejected where they would create an excessive extension of the built form into the open countryside, or result in the loss of valuable open amenity space, allotments or playing fields. Development has also been directed away from greenfield sites within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). With the combined physical constraints of the Humber Estuary to the south, the City of Hull to the east and the open land and Humber Bridge Country Park to the west, opportunities for expansion are largely limited to the northern edge of the settlement.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 67 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Housing Sites

Policy HES7/8 - Tranby Park Farm and Stokedove Wood (28.26ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and enhance the existing landscaping belts to the west and north and also the significant trees or groups within the site;

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems;

c. Facilitate an improvement to the public sewer along Boothferry Road linked in with site HES11; and

d. Prepare a development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

3.90 This site is enclosed by the A164 and A1105 major roads to the west and south, Jenny Brough Lane to the north and by existing housing development to the east. There are already significant tree belts around most of the edges of the site which will help to minimise any visual intrusion into open land. The site is outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a)and is therefore considered suitable for allocation to make a significant contribution towards meeting the housing requirement as set out in the Strategy Document.

3.91 An indicative capacity of 742 dwellings has been identified for the site. This takes into account the planning permission that has been granted on part of the site for a nursing home, including dementia and non-dementia spaces, and extra care/independent living units.

3.92 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements. A significant upgrade of the sewer system along Boothferry Road up to the western trunk sewer at First Lane is likely to be needed to bring this and draft allocation HES11 forward. Those promoting both sites should approach Yorkshire Water as a consortium to provide additional sewer capacity.

3.93 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared. This should ensure that the potential of the site is maximised, include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors, such as any works that may be required to obtain a suitable access. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

68 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Policy HES10 - Ferriby Road Amenity Land (1.66ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the peripheral trees around the site.

3.94 This site is located between the A15 Humber Bridge approach road and existing development to the east, and has been assessed as being able to accommodate 52 dwellings. There are some mature peripheral trees around the edge of the site which should be retained and this will minimise the impact on the surrounding area and the Conservation Area. Access would be provided at an existing point from Ferriby Road at the south western corner.

Policy HES11 - Land at Hessle Mount (12.88ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and enhance the existing belt of trees around the northern and eastern boundaries of the site;

b. Locate the majority of the public open space provision in the north east corner of the site;

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

d. Facilitate an improvement to the public sewer along Boothferry Road linked in with site HES7/8.

3.95 Whilst this site does intrude into the open gap between Hessle and Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella, the impact is not considered to be unduly significant due to the presence of the very strong belt of trees around the site. Their retention will mitigate the visual impact of the development. In addition, the requirement to locate the open space areas to the north east corner will also help to minimise any physical intrusion. The site is therefore considered to be suitable to contribute to the housing requirement and it is anticipated that this site could provide for up to 338 dwellings.

3.96 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements. A significant upgrade of the sewer system along Boothferry Road up to the western trunk sewer at First Lane

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 69 3 Beverley & Central sub area

is likely to be needed to bring this and site HES7/8 forward. Those promoting both sites should approach Yorkshire Water as consortium to provide additional sewer capacity.

Policy HES13/20 - Land to the North of Livingstone Road (2.44ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use development including housing and employment uses. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate measures to deal with noise implications from the adjacent A63 road for any housing development; and b. Ensure that they do not have an adverse impact on the Humber Estuary SPA/SAC.

3.97 The location of this site adjacent to the A63 and close to the nearby employment areas makes it suitable for a mixed use allocation. The expected residential capacity from the site as a whole is assumed to be 114 dwellings. Any scheme for housing development will need to take into account measures to deal with the traffic noise arising from the adjacent A63 road and this may be achieved by the positioning of the employment elements adjacent to the road.

3.98 Planning permission has recently been granted for a mixed use scheme on part of the site incorporating 100 dwellings and office floorspace. The planning permission was issued after the base date of the Plan, and the site has therefore still been included as a draft allocation. This will ensure that its contribution to the housing requirement for Hessle is taken fully into account. Office (B1a) uses, which are classified in National Planning Policy as a 'town centre use', must demonstrate that they do not adversely impact on the viability and vitality of town centres or the regeneration of Hull City Centre. Proposals for office uses will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document.

3.99 Due to the previous use of the site it will necessary to investigate, and remediate if necessary, any contaminated land on the site. The site is also adjacent to the Humber Estuary which is designated as a SAC, SPA, Ramsar Site and SSSI Site of Special Scientific Interest, and proposals will need to ensure that they investigate and mitigate any risk they pose to it's integrity.

Policy HES19 - Land to the West of St Mary's Close (0.25ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

3.100 Access to this small site would be taken through the land to the south which has an existing planning permission for residential development and is included as an existing commitment. Its development for housing would round off the built form in this

70 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

location taking this existing commitment into account. The design and layout of dwellings on the site would need to ensure that any noise issues from the A63 were adequately dealt with. The site has been given a notional capacity of 9 dwellings.

Employment Sites

3.101 See the Humber Bridgehead Key Employment Site section of this document for employment sites HES5 and HES6. The Housing section above also includes sites HES13 and HES20, which are allocated for a mix of uses, including employment development.

Policy HES14 - Land at Priory Park (1.14ha)

This site is allocated for employment uses.

3.102 This site represents the remaining undeveloped land available at Priory Park, which has been developed over a number of years and is an important location for businesses. The draft allocation will support the continued role of Priory Park. It is likely to be suitable for businesses in the B1, B2 or B8 use classes. Office (B1a) uses, which are classified in National Planning Policy as a 'town centre use', must demonstrate that they do not adversely impact on the viability and vitality of town centres or the regeneration of Hull City Centre. Proposals for office uses will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document.

Policy HES21 - Hessle Dock, Livingston Road (3.34ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use including employment, retail, housing and leisure development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate measures to deal with noise implications from the adjacent A63 road for any housing development; and

b. Ensure that they do not have an adverse impact on the Humber Estuary SPA/SAC.

3.103 Outline planning permission exists for a mixed use scheme on this site, which includes offices, light industrial and trade warehouse units, a health club, restaurant, children's nursery and 35 residential apartments (these have been included in the existing housing commitments figure). Office (B1a) uses, which are classified in National Planning Policy as a 'town centre use', must demonstrate that they do not adversely impact on the viability and vitality of town centres or the regeneration of Hull City Centre. Proposals for office uses will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 71 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.104 As the site is previously developed land, it will necessary to investigate and remediate any contaminated land. In addition, it is adjacent to the Humber Estuary, which is designated as a SAC, SPA, Ramsar Site and SSSI Site of Special Scientific Interest. Therefore, proposals will need to ensure that they investigate and mitigate any risk they pose to the integrity of these designations.

Rejected Sites

3.105 This section lists those potential sites in Hessle that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site HES1

Proposed use is for Tourism, Recreation and Leisure development. Allocations are not being made for this type of use,proposals will be determined in accordance with the Strategy Document. Satisfactory access also appears to be difficult to achieve.

Rejected Site HES2

Site is remote from the main body of the settlement and is within area that would be sensitive to built development. Site not required to meet employment needs.

Rejected Site HES3

Site is remote from the main body of the settlement and is within an area sensitive to built development. Site not required to meet employment needs.

Rejected Site HES4

Development of the site for other uses would result in loss of the car park and tourist information centre. Part of the site is located on a Local Wildlife Site. Proposed use is for Tourism, Recreation and Leisure use. Allocations are not being made for this type of use, proposals will be determined in accordance with the Strategy Document.

72 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Rejected Site HES9

Proposed use is for Tourism, Recreation and Leisure use and/or residential. Allocations are not being made for the first type of use, proposals will be determined in line with the Strategy Document. The site is not deliverable for residential use due to access constraints and proximity to major road junction.

Rejected Site HES10r

This part of the original potential site is no longer deliverable at the owners request. It is also covered by the Tree Preservation Order.

Rejected Site HES12

Due to the very open nature of the site frontage, development would be highly visually intrusive in the key open area between Hessle and Kirkella. The apparent loss of the key open area would be increased by developing this site. This conflicts with the place statement set out in the Strategy Document.

Rejected Site HES15

The site has been identified as being at severe risk of surface water flooding.

Rejected Site HES16

The site has been identified as being at severe risk of surface water flooding.

Rejected Site HES17

Majority of the site is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 73 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Rejected Site HES18

Site is below size threshold for allocation.

Rejected Site HES22

Site is proposed for holiday accommodation. Allocations are not being made for this use, proposals will be determined in accordance with the Strategy Document.

Principal Towns

Beverley

Settlement Context

3.106 Beverley is a large market town situated alongside the River Hull, approximately eight miles north of the centre of Hull. It has a rich built heritage with a number of Scheduled Monuments and numerous listed buildings, including Beverley Minster which is a Grade I listed building. The Pasture Masters of Beverley manage the unique common land areas of Swinemoor, Figham and the Westwood, which surrounds the majority of the settlement, and the northern and western sides of the settlement open out into the Yorkshire Wolds.

3.107 The town has a mixture of pockets of affluence as well as some relatively deprived areas. It is well connected by public transport to a variety of surrounding settlements, which ranges from a number of villages, towns and neighbouring cities. This includes access to the East Riding's core bus route with frequent services to Hull and York via the A1079. In addition, a rail service provides links to Bridlington, Scarborough, Hull and the national rail network.

3.108 Industry is mainly located on the eastern side of the town where the Grovehill and Swinemoor industrial estate accommodate many local and national companies. Further employment opportunities are provided by companies operating from within the town centre, where the main council offices are also situated.

74 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

3.109 Beverley is identified as a Principal Town in the Strategy Document and 3400 new houses are proposed for the town over the period to 2028/29. There is currently planning permission for approximately 65 houses in the town and a further eleven sites have been identified as draft housing allocations. The Employment Land Review identified a continued requirement for employment land, which will be met through one employment and one mixed use allocation within Beverley, and with two further emloyment allocations at the Tokenspire Business Park which is just south of the town in Woodmansey. The East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study identifies that there is capacity for between 10,700m2 to 21,300m2 of new retail floorspace in the town, which will be met by a combination of draft retail and mixed use allocations. In addition, the Strategy Document supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes, construction of the Beverley Integrated Transport Plan including southern relief road, south of Beverley park and ride facility, highway improvements to the A1079, additional primary school pupil capacity, and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required.

What you told us...

Strong opposition to the development of land between Morrisons and Broadgates housing estate, Walkington, due to loss of amenity, impact on highways, and impact on mineral resources. Opposition to the development of Beaver Park rugby ground due to flood risk, loss of sport/amenity land, and highway impact. Opposition to development north of Woodhall Way and garden land to the back of Westwood Road. Support for housing development to the south of the town near Long Lane, Woodmansey Mile, and Beverley Parklands. Concern expressed over the capacity of the town's infrastructure including sewerage, roads, schools and health services. Concern about the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development.

Site Allocations

3.110 The site allocations have been selected where they are well related to main body of the settlement, local services, transport links and community facilities. Excessive or unnecessary extension of the built form out into the open countryside, and the loss of valuable open amenity space, allotments or playing fields, has also been used to inform the location of the proposed allocations.

3.111 The opportunities for the expansion of Beverley is constrained by the Westwood, Figham and Swinemoor Pastures to the west and east respectively. The north eastern bypass also provides a strong and logical boundary to the north of the town. There are areas of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) to the east and it is important that the

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 75 3 Beverley & Central sub area

areas of high landscape value to the west are protected. The Strategy Document identifies the south of the town as a key area of growth and the forthcoming Southern Relief Road provides a logical limit for the southern extent of this area.

Housing Sites

3.112 In addition to the following Housing Sites, BEV17 is identified within the Retail Sites section as a mixed use allocation. This site will also include an element of housing development.

Policy BEV5 - Victoria Road/Lincoln Way (3.77ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate additional landscaping along the boundary of the site adjacent to the Lincoln Way spine road; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with sites BEV10/11/32/33, BEV12/13/34 and BEV49.

3.113 This site is reasonably well related to the existing settlement pattern and is already physically separated from the open countryside beyond by the southern part of Lincoln Way. It has an estimated capacity of 112 dwellings and will need to provide additional screening/landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries. This should seek to continue the pattern of planting along Lincoln Way and protect the residential amenities of the new dwellings from traffic on Lincoln Way and eventually also that from the new southern relief road.

3.114 Due to the proximity of the site to other large allocations, proposals should, alongside BEV10/11/332/33, BEV12/13/34 and BEV49, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. SuDS should move water east to west along the natural gradient and drain surface water at a controlled rate back into the Internal Drainage Board's system. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

76 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Policy BEV10/11/32/33 - South of Beverley (West of Railway) (75.01ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate a structural landscaping belt to the southern edge of the site adjacent to the southern relief road;

b. Provide a spine road through the site linking Woodmansey Mile and Lincoln Way;

c. Make provision for a new primary school;

d. Make provision for an element of extra care accommodation within the site;

e. Protect and enhance long distance views of the Minster from the southern approaches to the town;

f. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with sites BEV5, BEV12/13/34 and BEV49; and

g. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

3.115 This site amalgamates a number of potential sites that are located to the south of the town and to the west of the railway line. It forms the larger of two major housing allocations that have been located in the key area for growth to the south of Beverley in accordance with the Sub-Area Policies in the Strategy Document. The line of the southern relief road defines the southern extent of the site and will provide a strong and defensible boundary to the new urban edge. The whole site has an estimated notional net capacity of 1,974 dwellings and provision would need to be made within the site for extra care homes.

3.116 The central part of the site lies within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). It presents the opportunity to locate the significant amounts of outdoor play and amenity planting areas within this area of the site. This would maximise the development potential of the whole site, as well as helping to protect and enhance long distance views of the Minster from the southern approaches to the town. In addition, a significant belt of planting will be required along the southern edge of the site, adjacent to the proposed southern relief road. Access is expected to be provided from the Woodmansey Mile and also from Lincoln Way and the overall development of the site should provide for a link between these to be established through the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 77 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.117 Beverley has been identified in the Older People's Housing Strategy and the Local Investment Plan as an area where there is a need for extra care accommodation. Proposals should include an element of extra care housing, to meet the identified need, the amount of which would be defined through the required development brief.In addition, a requirement for additional primary school capacity has been identified for Beverley, and provision should be made within the site for a new primary school.

3.118 Due to the large size of the allocation, and proximity to other large allocations, proposals should, alongside BEV5, BEV12/13/34 and BEV49, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. This should show how the proposed SuDS system would integrate with these other site allocations. SuDS should move water east to west along the natural gradient and drain surface water at a controlled rate back into the Internal Drainage Board's system. Land levels will need to be raised where development falls within a floodplain. Compensatory water storage areas to store water displaced during a flood event will also be required either on or off site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

3.119 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy BEV12/13/34 - South of Beverley (East of Railway) (38.66ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use including housing, employment and open space development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate a structural landscaping belt to the southern edge of the site adjacent to the southern relief road;

b. Protect and enhance long distance views of the Minster from the southern approaches to the town;

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with sites BEV5, BEV10/11/32/33 and BEV49; and

d. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

3.120 This site amalgamates three potential sites that are located to the south of the town and to the east of the railway line. It forms the smaller of two major housing allocations that have been located in the key area for growth to the south of Beverley in accordance with the Sub-Area Policies in the Strategy Document. The line of the

78 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

southern relief road and the proposed Park & Ride scheme define the southern extent of the site and will provide a strong and defensible boundary to the new urban edge. The notional net capacity for housing has been estimated at 761 dwellings. Whilst the site is expected to involve predominantly residential development, there will also be an element of employment development required (approximately 4 hectares). In addition, a significant belt of planting will be required along the southern edge of the site, adjacent to the proposed southern relief road. Access is expected to be provided through an improved length of Beverley Parklands.

3.121 Due to the large size of the allocation, and proximity to other large allocations, proposals should, alongside BEV5, BEV10/11/32/33 and BEV49, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. This should show how the proposed SuDS system would integrate with these other site allocations. SuDS should move water east to west along the natural gradient and drain surface water at a controlled rate back into the Internal Drainage Board's system. Land levels will need to be raised where development falls within a floodplain. Compensatory water storage areas to store water displaced during a flood event will also be required either on or off site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

3.122 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy BEV9 - Land off Kitchen Lane (0.28ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain trees within and around the site wherever possible.

3.123 This is a relatively small site within the existing built up area of the town and has good pedestrian and cycle links through to the town centre along Kitchen Lane. It is the remaining part of an allocation in the Beverley Local Plan and is still considered suitable for development. The site has a notional estimated capacity of 10 dwellings based on its site area and would ideally need to be accessed through the adjacent Keldgate Bar development site to the north.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 79 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy BEV15 - Former Westwood Hospital Site (1.81ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate the retention and conversion of the existing listed buildings within the site; and

b. Ensure that views into the town from the Beverley Westwood are protected and enhanced.

3.124 This site is previously developed land situated on the edge of the built up area but also very well related to the town centre. It has become vacant following the relocation of the hospital to a site elsewhere within the town. The site includes a former nurses home building and an archway at the entrance which are both Grade II Listed Buildings. Any proposed development will be expected to make provision for the retention and incorporation of these buildings into the final scheme and have regard to their settling. The site is also adjacent to the Beverley Westwood pastures and any scheme must take into account the need to protect and enhance views into the town from here. The site has an expected notional capacity of 57 dwellings.

Policy BEV16 - Land to the north of Beverley Parklands (1.74ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

3.125 This site is already located within the built up area of Beverley and could make use of pedestrian links into the town along Sparkmill Lane via a path leading off the end of Beverley Parklands. Vehicular access would need to be taken from Beverley Parklands. Whilst it has previously been allocated for future allotment use in the Beverley Local Plan, the need for this has now been offset by the recent additional provision on land to the east of Grange Way. The site has a notional estimated capacity of 55 dwellings.

Policy BEV21 - Beverley College Gallows Lane (3.75ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the protected trees within and around the site; and

b. Provide for an improvement to the access along Gallows Lane at its junction with Molescroft Road.

80 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

This site is previously developed land which is reasonably well related to the existing settlement pattern of the town and has good links to the centre. The college intends to relocate to a new site within the Flemingate development site and it will therefore only become available for housing redevelopment after the existing college has been relocated. Improvements to the existing access along Gallows Lane will be required at its junction with Molescroft Road in order to facilitate redevelopment. The site has a notional estimated capacity of 112 based on its site area. As the site is within the Conservation Area any scheme will need to have regard to its character and appearance.

Policy BEV23 - Land to the North of Molescroft Road (8.73ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide a new link road between Driffield Road and Malton Road on the northern boundary of the site;

b. Provide for a substantial landscaped strip to the northern boundary alongside the new link road and additional landscaping to the south western and south eastern boundaries;

c. Incorporate adequate pedestrian and cycle access routes from the site into the town including crossing points on Driffield Road; and

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.126 The proposal to develop this site includes the construction of a new link road between the Driffield and Malton roads. This will significantly reduce the amount of heavy traffic using the existing route between the northeastern bypass and Molescroft Road roundabouts. The link road, together with associated planting required, will also provide a strong defensible northern boundary to the development site and the northern edge of Beverley. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. It will be necessary for proposals to include provision for adequate cycle and pedestrian links from the site, including crossing points on Driffield Road, to connect to the existing network. The site has been given a notional estimated capacity figure of 172 dwellings taking into account the need to provide the link road and landscaping.

3.127 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 81 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy BEV24 - Land North of Woodhall Way (5.62ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped strip along the northern boundary with the northeastern bypass; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.128 The presence of the existing northern bypass provides a strong and well established new northern edge to the built up area of the settlement. Whilst it is located on the northern most edge of the town, it has good links to facilities in the local area. Proposed development will need to retain and augment the landscaping to the northern boundary with the northeastern bypass. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The site is expected to be able to contribute some 148 dwellings towards the housing requirement for the town.

3.129 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy BEV45 - Longcroft Lower School (2.27ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary.

3.130 This site will not be available for housing redevelopment until the Lower School has been relocated and incorporated into the existing Longcroft Upper School complex. It has been given a notional capacity of 68 dwellings. Additional landscaping top the southern boundary would help provide a suitable transition between the housing site and the playing fields beyond.

Employment Sites

3.131 In addition to these Employment Sites, BEV12/34 is identified within the Housing Sites section as a mixed use allocation. This site will also include an element of employment uses.

82 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Policy BEV20 - North of Annie Reed Road (2.09ha)

This site is allocated for employment use.

3.132 This site is the remaining undeveloped area of the Capital Park Industrial Estate development. The site is likely to be suitable for a range of potential employment uses, particularly those within Use Classes B1(b), B1(c), B2 or B8.

Retail Sites

Policy BEV17 - South of Lord Roberts Road (1.00ha)

This site is allocated for a mixed of uses including retail and housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Allow for the retention and conversion of the Grade II listed Chapel; and

b. Take account of the need to protect and enhance views of the Minster across and from within the site.

3.133 In view of the Listed status of the former Chapel within the site, any redevelopment scheme must allow for its retention and conversion to a suitable use. In order to enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, opportunities for creating and maintaining views of the Minster both across the site from the town and from within the site itself must be maximised. Taking account of the mixed use allocation, a notional capacity of 16 dwellings is expected from the site towards the housing requirement figure for the town. The site has been identified in the Town Centres and Retail Study as a development opportunity that would help to meet the need for new retail floorspace in the town. It is located within the Town Centre boundary for Beverley and will contribute towards the overall requirement of up to 21,300 m2 for the town.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 83 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy BEV19 - Land to South of Grovehill Road (5.14ha)

This site is allocated for retail use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain trees within and around the site wherever possible.

b. Provide satisfactory highway improvements to accommodate the scale and type of development proposed and enhance the accessibility of the site by pedestrians, cyclists and public transport

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.134 Whilst the Strategy Documents identifies that there is a significant need for new comparison retail floorspace within Beverley, there are limited sites available in the Town Centre or in edge of centre locations. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the potential suitability of out of centre sites to meet the need for retail development. This site is well related to the existing core bus routes serving the town and will contribute towards the overall retail requirement of up to 21,300 m2 for the town.

3.135 It is anticipated that the existing access road from Beck View Road would be retained as the main access to the site. Proposals should consider the potential impact of the development on the wider highway network, particularly in the light of the southern relief road, and parking demand in nearby streets. Alternative measures should also be investigated that would enhance the accessibility of the site by pedestrians, cyclists and users of public transport.

3.136 There are a number of trees within the site and along the western boundary that should, where possible, be retained. These, alongside the sensitive design of the development, will help to ensure that the site has a high quality appearance from the A1174. In addition, the risk of contamination from the former use of the site will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

3.137 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

84 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Policy BEV46 - North of Flemingate (4.33ha)

This site is allocated for a mixed use of employment, retail, leisure and education development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Investigate and remediate any land contamination associated with the previous uses of the site; b. Have regard to the historic and/or architectural character and setting of the Listed Buildings and Scheduled Monument within and surrounding the site; and

c. Improve pedestrian connectivity between the site and the rest of the town centre.

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.138 This site benefits from a committee resolution to grant planing permission (subject to certain conditions) for a substantial mixed use development which includes offices, retail units, a hotel, leisure facilities and a college. The north eastern part of the site, adjacent to Armstrong Way, contains the Scheduled Monument of the friary precinct, and the Grade II Listed Minster House is situated on the southern boundary. There is also a listed wall along Priory Road and Chantry Line, while the whole site lies in the shadow of the Grade I Listed Beverley Minster and adjacent to the Beverley Conservation Area. Development on this site will need to have regard to the elements that contribute to the significance of these features, and ensure that they are not adversely affected by the proposals.

3.139 To ensure that development on this site integrates well into the wider Town Centre, measures should be taken to improve pedestrian connectivity between the site and the rest of the town. Additionally, due to the previous industrial uses of this site, it will be necessary for the risk of land contamination to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out before development takes place.

3.140 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Community and Infrastructure Sites

Policy BEV10a - Land to the west of Keldmarsh Primary School (0.19ha)

This site is allocated as an extension to Keldmarsh Primary School.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 85 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.141 The extension of Keldmarsh Primary School is likely to be required to accommodate the additional primary school pupils that will be generated by the residential developments in the surrounding area. This site will enable this by providing for additional playing fields that will compensate for any space that is lost through the extension of the school buildings.

Policy BEV49 - Beverley Park and Ride (6.01ha)

This site is allocated for development as a Park and Ride facility including ancillary uses. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with sites BEV5, BEV10/11/32/33 and BEV12/13/34.

3.142 The Beverley Park and Ride is the second phase of the Beverley Integrated Transport Plan (BITP), the first phase being the construction of the Beverley Southern Relief Road Major Transport Scheme (2013 to 2015). The primary objectives of the BITP are to alleviate traffic congestion in the town centre, contribute to the town centre economy and improve the town centre environment. The Park and Ride will provide for a direct link, through a dedicated bus corridor, to Flemingate. Ancillary uses such as public conveniences, information points, and seating areas may also be provided. Proposals will need to be designed to minimise any impact on the amenity of the adjacent sites allocated residential development to the north and west, for example through controlling floodlighting.

3.143 Due to the large size of the allocation, and proximity to other large allocations, proposals should, alongside BEV5, BEV10/11/32/33 and BEV12/34, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. This should show how the proposed SuDS system would integrate with these other site allocations. SuDS should move water east to west along the natural gradient and drain surface water at a controlled rate back into the Internal Drainage Board's system. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Rejected Sites

3.144 This section lists those potential sites in Beverley that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 91 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Towns

Elloughton cum Brough

Settlement Context

3.145 Elloughton cum Brough, together with parts of the parishes of Welton and Brantingham combine to form an important East Riding town. The town is located approximately 12 miles from Hull City Centre and is bounded to the north by the A63 and the Estuary to the south. Traditionally, employment in the area has been centred on BAE Systems and horticulture, though nearby developments at Melton Park are anticipated to provide for a more diverse economic base. Given the town's location on the road and rail network, it has become an desirable place to live for commuters working in other locations in East Yorkshire and beyond. In addition, many people from the surrounding area use the town's station to commute to other locations on the rail network.

3.146 Though Elloughton cum Brough lacks a town centre in the traditional sense, retail and service activity is focused on the Brough Shopping Park, other parts of Welton Road, Elloughton Road and Skillings Lane. The town has a relatively new library and Customer Service Centre, together with a parish meeting room within the Petuaria Centre. In addition, the Primary Care Trust have recently developed a health centre, whilst the Police Authority have located a base further along Welton Road.

3.147 Elloughton cum Brough is identified as a Town in the Strategy Document with 1,000 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. The majority of this new housing will come forward on an existing site as part of a wider mixed use development. Taking into account the number of plots with planning permission (40 dwellings), three sites have been identified as housing allocations. In addition, the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study has identified that there is capacity for 6,200m2 to 12,400m2 of new retail floorspace in the town, which will be met through a mixed use allocation. Land for employment

92 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

development has been focused on the Melton Key Employment Site to the east of the town, and also forms part of the draft mixed use allocation. The Strategy Document supports the completion of the Brough relief road, a new pharmacy at Elloughton, additional primary and secondary school pupil capacity, which may be required in the area over the plan period.

What you told us...

More investment and support for infrastructure (e.g. schools, healthcare) is needed to catch up to the housing growth in recent years. Elloughton cum Brough has dual centres though the main centre is not large enough for the current population. Elloughton cum Brough has the potential for significant archaeological remains and surveys may be required before development can take place. There are only two access points to the settlement and traffic congestion is a major concern. The town suffers from surface water problems at times of heavy rain. The town is well placed on the A63 to access employment. Some sites have the potential to provide retail development, reducing the need to travel elsewhere. The development of some sites will support the provision of transport improvements.

Site Allocations

3.148 The allocations include a large site south of the railway line which is awaiting formal planning approval. This site will deliver a mix of uses to support the needs of the settlement and will accommodate much of the housing requirement identified within the Strategy Document. Elsewhere, the residential allocations have been selected to reflect a desire to avoid extending into the open countryside.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 93 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Housing Sites

Policy ECB7/8 - Land at Ings Lane and East of Skillings Lane (53.28ha)

This site is allocated for mixed uses including housing, industrial, retail, leisure,education and employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Deliver the Brough Relief Road to link Moor Road to Skillings Lane/Saltgrounds Road, which must be completed prior to the completion of 200 dwellings on site;

b. Make provision on site for a new primary school;

c. Make a financial contribution to expanding secondary school provision in the area;

d. Provide satisfactory highway improvements to accommodate the scale and type of development proposed;

e. Provide for the closure of Common Lane level crossing for vehicular traffic on completion of the relief road;

f. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer and noise reduction fencing along the boundary of the railway line; and

g. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.149 Land at Ings Road and East of Skillings Lane will provide the majority of of the Town's housing requirement over the plan period. The site benefits from a committee resolution to grant planing permission subject to certain conditions. This includes a wide range of uses that will improve provision in the Town, including a maximum of 750 dwellings and approximately 13,500sqm of retail floorspace. The Plan has been prepared to reflect this proposal and the contribution it would make to meeting the development needs of the Town.

3.150 As Elloughton cum Brough has a small town centre, which has limited capacity to expand or intensify, this site offers a sequentially preferable location for retail provision. The site will accommodate new shops to address the identified need for retail development that is set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document, as well as new services required in a Town of Elloughton cum Brough's size. A primary school will also be required on site and commuted sums will be needed to contribute to secondary education provision at South Hunsley School. The primary school should be provided within the main residential zone on the site.

3.151 Given the scale and nature of uses proposed for the site, there will be a number of implications for the local and strategic highway network. The development will only be able to proceed with the provision of a relief road which joins Moor Road on

94 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

the northern side of the railway line, to Skillings Land and/or Saltgrounds Road on the southern side. Any proposals will need to include a range of measures which will reduce the development's impact on the highway network. This may include junction improvements on the A63, as well as other measures such as travel planning. It should also include the closure of Common Lane level crossing for vehicular traffic as the relief road offers a safer and more suitable means of access. Proposals should consider the need to maintain a safe pedestrian and cycle access across the railway line on Common Lane.

3.152 As the site is bounded to the north by the railway line, it will be necessary to provide significant screening from passing trains. Appropriate planting and fencing should be used to reduce noise for the benefit of new residents and users of the site.

3.153 A sequential approach to locating different uses on the site will be required, both in terms of flood risk management and town centre uses. Retail and other town centre uses should be located on the western side of the site where this is closer to the town centre and existing public transport facilities. In respect of flood risk, more vulnerable uses such as housing should be located in the lowest risk areas as far as possible. In addition, open space should be provided in areas of higher risk to help attenuate any residual risk elsewhere on the site.

3.154 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Development of the site presents opportunities to reduce flood risk by reopening previously culverted watercourses underneath the former runway and improving the Elloughton Clough. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy ECB3 - Land North of Welton Low Road, East of Dale Road (5.94ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide adequate screening and noise reduction measures from the A63; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.155 Land North of Welton Low Road, East of Dale Road has been identified as a draft housing allocation with an indicative capacity of 134 dwellings. The site is bounded by development on two sides with the A63 providing a northern and eastern limit. It provides a logical site for rounding off the settlement without being a significant intrusion into the open countryside. However, it is located next to the A63, and new development will need to be adequately screened to mitigate against noise pollution for the amenity of new residents. Due to the large size of the allocation,

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 95 3 Beverley & Central sub area

proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy ECB4/4a - Land South of Welton Low Road, East of Lowerdale (5.88ha)

This site is allocated for a mixed use including housing development and open space provision. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for open space, including outdoor sports facilities, on the eastern side of the site; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.156 The draft allocation is bounded by Welton Low Road to the north, Welton Road to the east,and by existing development on another two sides. It has an indicative capacity of 80 dwellings and constitutes a logical rounding off of the built form of Elloughton cum Brough without being a significant intrusion into the open countryside.

3.157 Due to the shortfall in public open space in the area, and outdoor sports facilities in particular, the eastern part of this site (as shown on the Policies Map) should provide playing pitches. The types of pitches to be provided should reflect the latest findings from the Playing Pitch Strategy and/or Open Space Review. Youth and adult play space will, therefore, not be required on the western part of the site (housing). The open space must be delivered alongside the residential element and shall be provided prior to the completion of 60 dwellings.

3.158 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Community and Infrastructure Sites

Policy ECB18 - Land East of Welton Road, South of Common Lane (1.86ha)

This site is allocated for open space provision, specifically outdoor sports facilities.

3.159 In addition to that provided in Policy ECB4/4a, a further 1.86ha of land is proposed for public open space in the form of outdoor sports facilities. This site well related to the existing cricket pitch and junior football pitch, and provides an opportunity to improve and expand the existing facilities.

Hedon

Settlement Context

3.161 The town of Hedon is situated on the Holderness plain 6 miles to the east of the Hull city centre. Its historical centre is focused around Saint Augustine's Gate, Market Place, Market Hill and Souttergate. The Grade I Listed St Augustine's Church at the junction of Market Hill and Church Lane dominates both the town and the surrounding landscape.

3.162 Hedon has two separate Conservation Areas and a significant concentration of listed buildings. The northern most Conservation Area encompasses a number of open spaces, many of which are sites of historical importance and contain Scheduled Monuments. These all contribute to the character of the town, which reflects its old buildings and medieval layout.

3.163 The town is well connected to both Hull and Withernsea via excellent bus services. It also has a wide range of shops and services, which are mainly contained within the town centre. This includes a supermarket, two GP surgeries, one dental surgery and two pharmacies. There are two primary schools in Hedon and the nearest secondary school, South Holderness Technology College, is located just to the north of the town.

3.164 Hedon is identified as a Town in the Strategy Document. No specific allocations for residential development will be made based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in the town.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 99 3 Beverley & Central sub area

What you told us...

Development should not increase flood risk nor should sites which have previously flooded be developed. Concern that the surface water drainage infrastructure cannot cope with further development. Development should not negatively impact on the town's many historic assets. Need to retain those open spaces which contribute towards the character of the town.

Site Allocations

3.165 No allocations for residential development, in addition to the 61 dwellings already in with planning approval, have been identified for the town. This is based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in Hedon. The town is subject to significant flood risks caused by the outfall of Burstwick Drain into the Humber locking at high tide, which causes water to build up in the drain during periods of heavy rainfall. This restricts the amount of water which can drain from the town's sewer into Burstwick Drain. There are also significant tidal/fluvial flood risks from the Humber and Burstwick Drain.

Rural Service Centres

Leven

Settlement Context

3.167 Leven is located around seven miles west of Hornsea and lies off the A165 which connects the village to Beverley and Bridlington. The village is bounded to the south by Leven Canal and to the east by Catchwater Drain. Leven Canal links the village to the River Hull and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Commercial development followed the creation of the canal and, although closed now, it remains a popular location for fishing activity. Barff Drain, which is located to the west of the village separates Leven from the area known as Little Leven.

3.168 The village has two Conservation Areas, one centred on Little Leven to the west and the other at the junction of East, West, North and South Streets. The allotments off Carr Lane are well used and provide a valuable village amenity. Employment

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 103 3 Beverley & Central sub area

opportunities are focused on Brandesburton Industrial Estate and the former Catfoss airfield, which are located to the north of the village. There are a range of services within Leven, including a supermarket and primary school, with more extensive services and facilities available in Hornsea and Beverley. These are accessible by bus services that connect the village to Hull, Hornsea and Beverley.

3.169 Leven is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document with 170 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Two draft residential allocations have been identified to meet this requirement. The Strategy Document supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes which may be required in the surrounding area.

What you told us...

Development proposals will need to demonstrate they preserve and enhance the character and setting of the Conservation Area and listed buildings. The allotments are a valuable community resource and should be retained as a village amenity. Development should not create unsightly urban sprawl. Development should not put a burden on existing village resources, for example, the village school, doctors surgery and sewage pumps. There is limited capacity at the Waste Water Treatment Works. Development should be planned to minimise the risk of flooding. Bowmans drain probably cannot cope with extra development. Allocating sites near Leven Canal may create problems, for example, accessing the canal for survey and maintenance.

Site Allocations

3.170 The draft allocations have been directed to locations that lie outside areas identified as being at high risk of flooding (Flood Zone 3a). They also seek to minimise any impact on, or intrusion into, areas of open countryside. This seeks to maintain the character of open and natural areas around the village and ensure that development would be well related to the built form of the village and existing services and amenities. The allotments on Carr Lane are a valuable village amenity and are identified as open space that would be safeguarded. Sites to the south of the Canal have been rejected, as any development in this location would be poorly related to the main body of the village and within an area at high flood risk flood (Flood Zone 3a).

3.171 Policy A1 of the Strategy Document outlines that surface water drainage improvement will be needed in the village before housing allocations can come forward. It requires a flood alleviation scheme to be put in place to protect housing around 'The Orchard' and manage surface water from new development. A scheme is currently in the early stages of development.

104 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Housing Sites

Policy LEV9/10 Land South of Hornsea Road (3.92ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the trees on site protected by a Tree Preservation Order;

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern, eastern and southern boundaries; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with site LEV14.

3.172 The site is currently occupied by a single residential dwelling and is bounded by development to the west. It is reasonably well related to the existing settlement pattern and is close to village services. The draft allocation has an indicative capacity of 75 dwellings, which has been reduced to account for the presence of a Tree Preservation Order on the site.

3.173 The existing trees within the site are protected by a Tree Preservation Order and should be retained as part of development. Additional landscaping will be required to the northern boundary to help screen the development from Hornsea Road, and to the eastern and southern boundaries to help provide a soft edge to the development. The existing hedgerows on the eastern boundary should also be retained.

3.174 There is an existing built frontage north of Hornsea Road and outbuildings to the east of the site. These, together with the provision of additional landscaping, will mitigate any negative impacts on the open and rural character of the entrance to the village. Access is anticipated to be taken from Highstile/Hornsea Road. However, the precise position and design of the access would need to be investigated and agreed in order to achieve adequate visibility.

3.175 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should, alongside LEV14, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. This should include consideration of how the site links to the planned flood alleviation scheme. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 105 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy LEV14 Land to the South of High Stile (4.03ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the eastern and southern boundaries;

b. Direct public open space toward the area of the site that is within flood zone 3a; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems linked in with site LEV9/10.

3.176 The site has an indicative capacity of 103 dwellings. It is surrounded by housing development on two sides and is reasonably well related to the settlement. Whilst development would effectively 'round off' the existing built up urban area, additional landscaping would be required to the eastern and southern boundaries. The existing peripheral hedgerows should also be retained which would, alongside the additional landscaping, help provide a soft transition between the development and the open countryside.

3.177 A small area to the south east of the site is situated within an area at risk of flooding (Flood Zone 3a). In order to minimise any flood risk, public open space should be located within this part of the site. Development is expected to make use of the existing access along Rosedale to Highstile.

3.178 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should, alongside LEV9/10, develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. This should include consideration of how the site links to the planned flood alleviation scheme. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Primary Villages

Bilton

Settlement Context

3.180 The village of Bilton lies on the outskirts of Hull, approximately 4 miles north east of the city centre, which is accessible by local bus services. A narrow belt of open land separates Bilton from city, which creates an important gap and helps the village to retain its separate identity. Significant post war development has taken place that has given the village a rectilinear form, with ribbon development to the east along Main Road and south along Preston Road. Whilst the village is predominantly residential in character, it contains a range of services and facilities for local residents including a Primary School, Post Office, local store and petrol filling station.

3.181 Bilton is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. No specific allocations for residential development will be made based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in the village.

What you told us...

Bilton is surrounded with agricultural land to the north, south and east of the village. Would like clarity that these parcels of land are not up for change of use to allow large scale housing development.

110 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Brandesburton

Settlement Context

3.184 Located to the west of the A165, the village of Brandesburton is 8 miles north east of Beverley and 6 miles west of Hornsea. Several large gravel pits, which are now disused, surround the village. The oldest properties can be found near the village green, which provides a focal point for the village and a valuable setting for the market cross. The market cross is an important heritage asset and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The northern part of the village is a designated Conservation Area and includes a number of listed buildings, such as the Black Swan public house (Grade II) and the Church of St Mary’s (Grade I). There has been a gradual extension of Brandesburton along Main Street towards Leven.

3.185 Catwick Lane Industrial Estate, and the nearby Catfoss Industrial Estate, provides a local source of employment opportunities. The southern half of the parish is characterised by a number of water features that have attracted tourism and leisure based businesses. There is a range of local services available in the village, including a supermarket and primary school. A wider range of services and facilities, which are located in Hornsea and Beverley, are accessible to residents by bus.

3.186 Brandesburton is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document with 60 new houses proposed over the Plan Period to 2028/29. Taking into the number of new dwellings that currently have planning permission (9 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate three residential sites. The Strategy Document supports additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Risk of flooding is an important consideration. Development should be planned to minimise the risk of flooding. Development sites should be required to demonstrate they do not have a detrimental affect on biodiversity. Development should not impact the setting of the church or character of the Conservation Area. Some development sites may have archaeological implications. The allocations appear to be disproportionate to the size of the settlement.

112 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Site Allocations

3.187 The landscape to the west of the village at the Golf Course towards Brandesburton Hall is highly sensitive, providing valuable open green space and a number of protected trees. The allocations have been directed to locations that have a good relationship to the built form of the settlement and would avoid a significant incursions into the open countryside. Allocations have not been proposed where they are poorly related to the main body of the settlement and would result in the loss of employment land.

Housing Sites

Policy BDN4/5 Land at Field House, Stockwell Lane (0.68ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a pedestrian access to Stockwell Lane.

3.188 This site was allocated for housing in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan and is still considered suitable for development. It is currently used as a haulage yard and has an indicative capacity of 15 dwellings, which recognises the need to provide a built frontage to New Road. Whilst residential development extends to the east and west, the site is prominent from New Road. The removal of the haulage yard would significantly enhance the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area.

3.189 The potential risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. Vehicular access to the site is expected to be taken from New Road, but the incorporation of a pedestrian link to Stockwell Lane would enhance links between the site and the centre of the village.

Policy BDN7 Village Farm, New Road (0.76ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

3.190 The site is currently in use as a farm and is enclosed on three sides by existing development. The indicative capacity of the site is 21 dwellings. Sensitive redevelopment of the site would enhance the area, helping to screen the rear elevations of new development at Boardman Park and the adjacent public house car park. The potential risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. Access to the site is expected to be taken from New Road.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 113 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy BDN8 Land at Home Farm, Church Lane (0.75ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide a pedestrian link to Church Lane;

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary; and

c. Retain the existing frontage hedgerows.

3.191 The site is currently enclosed by residential development on two sides and has an indicative capacity of 20 dwellings. Whilst it is reasonably well related the main body of the village, providing a pedestrian link to Church Lane as part of the development would further improve the links between the site and the village. Additional landscaping would be required to the northern boundary to help provide a soft transition between the development and the open countryside. The development would also be required to retain the existing frontage hedgerows.

3.192 A small area of the site adjacent to Home Farm lies within the Conservation Area. Therefore, development should have regard to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and its setting. Vehicular access is expected to be taken from Frodingham Road.

Rejected Sites

3.193 This section lists those potential sites in Brandesburton that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Cherry Burton

Settlement Context

3.194 Cherry Burton is a relatively compact village, located just off the B1248 road, approximately 3 miles north west of Beverley. The substantial grounds to Cherry Burton House and the Hall, which are situated on the eastern edge of the settlement, provide an attractive gateway into the village. This, and the continually changing mix of buildings, hedges and open spaces, contribute to the interest and individuality of the village. In response to this, the central part of the village running either side of Main Street has been designated as a Conservation Area. The village has a small number of services and facilities, including a shop, public house, primary school and village hall. A bus service and a foot and cycle path also link the village to Beverley, which has an extensive range of services and facilities to meet the needs of the local community.

3.195 Cherry Burton is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 60 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account existing residential planning permission (2 dwellings), two sites have been identified as draft allocations for housing development.

What you told us...

The size of allocations made should be in-keeping with the small size of the village. Residential development should focus on providing family homes to help sustain the local school. Concerns about the impact that development would have on the drainage and sewerage systems, flood risk and the character of the village. Concern about the additional traffic that would be generated by additional development.

116 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Site Allocations

3.196 The allocations have been focused in locations that are well related to the village. They have sought to avoid development that would intrude into valuable and prominent open areas, and locations that may put established trees at risk.

Housing Sites

Policy CHER2 - Land on Etton Road (0.78ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary.

3.197 This site is surrounded by residential development along the eastern and southern boundaries has an indicative capacity of 21 dwellings. It provides an opportunity to round off the development in this part of the village and access is expected to be taken from Etton Road. To avoid development being overly prominent in the landscape, and on the approach into the village, additional landscaping should be provided on the northern boundary to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy CHER3 - Land East of Canada Drive (2.28ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary, and retain and enhance the existing landscaping to the eastern boundary;

b. Direct public open space toward the area of the site that is within flood zone 3a; and

c. Improve surface water drainage by facilitating the movement of water from the north into North Drain.

3.198 This site is surrounded by development of two sides and has an indicative capacity of 41 dwellings. The existing tree belt along the eastern boundary means that the development of the site will have a limited impact on the surrounding landscape. It will also provide a defined edge to this part of the village once the site has been developed. This should be enhanced through the provision of additional landscaping along the northern boundary of the site, which will continue the landscaping that has been provided on the adjacent residential development and help to soften the

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 117 3 Beverley & Central sub area

impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The Cherry Burton Conservation Area lies to the south and east of this site, and regard should be had to its character, appearance and setting when developing proposals.

3.199 Land adjacent to the North Drain, which runs through the northern part of the site, is identified as being within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). In order to minimise the potential risk of flooding to new dwellings, the public open space provided as part of the development should be located within this part of the site. The indicative capacity of the site takes into account this need to mitigate and manage flood risk. The site lies to the east of a new bund, which is located to the north of the village and is designed to protect the village from overland flow of water from the north. Surface water drainage should be improved to facilitate development on the site and improve drainage for the village as a whole. This could be achieved through the provision of a new culvert or open watercourse across the site to help convey water from the north of the site to North Drain. Alternatively the new bund could be extended to the north of the site and a new watercourse provided on the eastern boundary.

Rejected Sites

3.200 This section lists those potential sites in Cherry Burton that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site CHER1

Suitable access into this site would be difficult to achieve and could result in the loss of existing mature trees.

Rejected Site CHER2r

Site extends into the open countryside on rising land and development would detract from the built and landscape character.

118 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Dunswell

Settlement Context

3.201 The village of Dunswell is located to the north of the City of Hull along the A1174 Beverley Road. Its historic core stretches in a linear fashion along Dunswell Lane and Beverley Road. However, more recent ribbon development and residential cul-de-sacs have created a more nucleated in its form. Hull city centre is just 4 miles to the south and Beverley 4 miles to the north, which can be accessed by regular bus services. The area around the village predominantly consists of horticulture uses, with a number of garden centre outlets in and around the village providing local employment opportunities. The area is also surrounded by important transport infrastructure including the strategic A1174 and A1079 highways providing access into Hull from the north.

3.202 Dunswell is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. No allocations for residential development will be made based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in the village. The Strategy Document supports highway improvements to the A1079, which is likely to include improvements to Dunswell Roundabout. It also supports the provision of a North Hull Park and Ride facility.

What you told us...

Flood risk and proximity to the River Hull need to be addressed.

Site Allocations

3.203 No allocations for residential development, in addition to two dwellings already benefiting from planning approval, have been identified in the village. This is based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in Dunswell. However, the provision of a Park and Ride site to serve the City of Hull is promoted by the Strategy Document in this area and the site selected for this development is set out below.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 119 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Community and Infrastructure Sites

Policy DUN19 Land East of Beverley Road and South of Raich Carter Way (8.28ha)

This site is allocated for a Park and Ride facility including ancillary uses. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the substantial hedgerows within and on the periphery of the site as far as possible; and

b. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the south of the site.

3.204 This site has been identified by Hull City Council as a location for a Park and Ride facility to facilitate access into Hull from the north. The Park and Ride may include ancillary uses, such as public conveniences, information points, and seating areas. Development of the site should retain existing hedgerows, which will help to integrate the development into the surrounding landscape. Proposals will also need to be designed to minimise any impact on the amenity of the residential area to the south, for example through controlling floodlighting. The provision of a landscaping belt to the south of the site to shield adjacent residential properties from potential amenity impacts and to help minimise visual intrusion into the area would also be needed.

Keyingham

Settlement Context

3.206 Keyingham is a relatively large village four miles south east of Hedon and ten miles from Hull on the A1033 road. The village has a number of services including a post office, a shop, a surgery, a primary school, a village hall, two public houses and a petrol station. A more extensive range of service and facilities are available in Withernsea and Hedon, which are both accessible by bus.

3.207 The village lies on a low ridge on the Holderness Plain and is surrounded by rich agricultural land. It is bounded to the north by the former Hull to Withernsea railway line and the A1033 forms the spine of the village from east to west. The eastern approach to Keyingham is characterised by the glasshouses and horticultural businesses that are prevalent in much of Holderness. In addition, the 12th Century Church of St Nicholas, which is a Grade I listed building, is located in a prominent position overlooking the western approaches to the village.

3.208 Keyingham is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. Over the period to 2028/29, 85 new houses are proposed for the village. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (31 dwellings), one site has been allocated for housing development.

What you told us...

Surface water will need to be carefully managed as a result of new development. Sites in the southern part of the village are in the high risk flood zone. Development needs to consider the relationship to listed buildings and potential archaeological features.

Site Allocations

3.209 A relatively high number of sites have been considered for Keyingham, some of which are undeveloped allocations from the Holderness District Wide Local Plan. Sites to the south of the village have been avoided due to the presence of high risk flood zones and intrusion into open countryside. There are also a number of greenhouses and related buildings, which cover significant areas of land. Development of these sites for residential uses would exceed the housing requirement for the village.

124 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Housing Sites

Policy KEY3 - Village Nurseries, Ottingham Road (4.31Ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide a significant landscape buffer between the new housing development and the remaining glasshouses and adjacent businesses.

3.210 A sufficient part of the Village Nurseries site on Ottringham Road has been identified as a draft allocation for residential development. The site has been given an indicative capacity of 55 dwellings, which would meet the housing requirement for Keyingham. The site is well related to the existing built form of the village and is enclosed on three sides by existing development. It is also located outside the area at high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) and is close to the services and amenities in the village. Due to the presence of glasshouses to the east and north-east of the site, provision will be required for significant landscaping in order to screen new development from the surrounding uses. The capacity of the site has been reduced to reflect the need for this landscape buffer.

Rejected Sites

3.211 This section lists those potential sites in Keyingham that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each has not been selected.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 127 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Leconfield

Settlement Context

3.212 Leconfield is situated approximately three miles north west of Beverley town centre and lies on the A614 road which bisects the village. The main Hull to Scarborough bus route and a rail station at nearby Arram serve the village, which provide residents access to a range of employment opportunities, service and facilities. There are also a number of local services in the village including a post office, a shop, a primary school and a village hall.

3.213 Originally a linear village, estate-type developments off Old Road have expanded the village westwards. Larger and more open plots front Main Street where the buildings of Castle Farm take a central position. Leconfield is also home to the Defence School of Transport and RAF Leconfield, which is now used as a base for Sea King helicopters of the 202 Squadron. The complex dominates the southern approach to the village and there are a number of personnel accommodated in residential blocks and houses on site. Policy S4 of the Strategy Document provides the framework for considering development proposals on military sites in the East Riding.

3.214 Leconfield is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. Over the period to 2028/29, 70 new houses are proposed for the village. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (6 dwellings), two sites have been allocated for housing development. The Strategy Document supports sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

The airfield has two areas with high archaeological potential of national significance.

Site Allocations

3.215 In identifying the allocations regard has been had to the need to protect the open countryside and deal with flood risk issues. Sites have been directed to locations that are well related to existing facilities and have a reasonable relationship to the existing built form of the settlement.

128 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Housing Sites

Policy LEC1/2 - Land to the South of Main Street, East of Harthill Avenue (2.76ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Support the construction of a flood alleviation scheme to reduce the flow of surface water into the site from the southwest before the commencement of development in this part of the site; and

b. Incorporate or divert the existing Public Right of Way that runs through the site.

3.216 The site is bounded by residential development on two sides. It would involve a logical rounding off of the village's built form and is well screened from the southern approaches. Pedestrian access to the main body of the village and the main road can be afforded by the public right of way running through the site. A flood alleviation scheme is in the early stages of development to reduce flood risk from overland flow from the southwest. If a scheme has not been implemented, a contribution will be required from proposals on the western part of the site in order to bring forward development. The indicative capacity of the site is 63 dwellings, which has taken into account the above factors.

Policy LEC3 - Land off Grange Road (0.17ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

3.217 This is a small site that is already within the development limits of the settlement and is well related to the main body and facilities. It has been given an indicative capacity of 5 dwellings.

North Cave

Settlement Context

3.219 North Cave is an attractive, mainly linear, village much of which is designated as a Conservation Area. It is situated 12 miles to the west of Hull on the B1230 where the Yorkshire Wolds meet the Humberhead Levels. North Cave Beck is an important feature, which runs through the village and contributes to the attractiveness of the Conservation Area. In addition, the North Cave Wetlands in the northwest of the parish are a site of national significance, containing a wide range of species and biodiversity.

3.220 The village has a range of local services and facilities including two pubs, a village hall, primary school and shops. It also has good access to the M62/A63, which is located to the south of the village. There are bus services from North Cave to Hull City Centre, Goole, Brough, Howden and Wyke College, and some services also stop at Hull Royal Infirmary and Goole Hospital.

3.221 North Cave is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 60 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account extant planning permissions (6 dwellings) two sites are proposed as housing allocations. The Strategy Document supports additional secondary school pupil capacity which may be required in the surrounding area.

130 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

What you told us...

The process the Council is undertaking is little more than a beauty contest. The existing allocation in the Boothferry Borough Local Plan (NCA4) is undeliverable on its own due to ransom strips but NCA4, 5 and 6 are deliverable together. This scale of development would include relocation of sports facilities. Garden sites/residential curtilage should not be considered as they are ‘garden grabbing’. Some sites could achieve the housing requirement for the village in isolation. Others would require there to be multiple allocations.

Site Allocations

3.222 The allocations have been directed to locations where they would be well related to the existing pattern of development or the main services in the village. Site have been avoided where they are within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a), or would result in undue intrusion into the open countryside.

Housing Sites

Policy NCA6 - Land East of 14 Everthorpe Road (0.79ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide frontage development only; and

b. Provide additional landscaping to the eastern and northern boundaries.

3.223 The indicative capacity of the site is 13 dwellings. This has been reduced to allow for frontage development only, which would reflect the character of the surrounding area and respond to the limited depth of the site. The site will also require additional landscaping to the northern and eastern boundaries in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy NCA7/16 - Land South of Everthorpe Road (1.65ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide additional landscaping to the eastern and southern boundaries.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 131 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.224 The site is adjacent to the existing built form of the settlement and has an indicative capacity of 45 dwellings. Along with NCA6, it will create a small extension along both sides of Everthorpe Road, which will help to minimise the impact on the character of the surrounding area. The site will require additional landscaping on the eastern and southern boundaries in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Rejected Sites

3.225 This section lists those potential sites in North Cave that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site NCA1

Site is not well related to the village. Development would change the semi rural character and is not in keeping with the existing pattern of ribbon development.

Rejected Site NCA2

Site is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) and would result in isolated development away from the main body of the settlement.

Rejected Site NCA3

Part of the site is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Development would adversely impact on a Local Wildlife Site and extend the built form of the settlement into an important open area.

Rejected Site NCA4

Site has fragmented ownerships, access difficulties and there is uncertainty over deliverability.

Rejected Site NCA5

Site would result in the loss of outdoor playing fields. Replacement provision has been suggested as part of a larger allocation, but the scale of development proposed would exceed the housing requirement for the village.

132 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Rejected Site NCA8

Site would extend the built form along Station Road which is predominantly open at this point.

Rejected Site NCA9

Site would significantly extend the built form into open countryside and is poorly related to the existing pattern of the settlement.

Rejected Site NCA10

Development could adversely impact on the Conservation Area. It would involve the potential demolition of a listed building and impact on the existing pattern of development in this part of the settlement, which is currently linear in nature.

Rejected Site NCA11

Site would create an isolated form of development away from the main body of the settlement.

Rejected Site NCA12

Site would significantly extend the built form into open countryside and is poorly related to the existing pattern of the settlement.

Rejected Site NCA14

Site is suggested for mineral extraction and is being considered through the Joint Minerals Local Plan.

Rejected Site NCA15

Site would significantly extend the built form into open countryside and is poorly related to the existing pattern of the settlement.

Rejected Site NCA16r

Site would significantly extend the built form into open countryside and is poorly related to the existing pattern of the settlement.

North Ferriby

Settlement Context

3.226 Situated on the north bank of the River Humber, North Ferriby lies approximately 8 miles to the west of Hull city centre. The village is accessed off the A63 road which provides a link to the M62 motorway to the west and Hull to the east. It is also served by Ferriby railway station which is on the Hull to York and Hull to Sheffield railway lines. North Ferriby also has a range of bus services providing access to Beverley, Brough, Hull, Goole and Wyke College.

3.227 Though large, the village is mainly compact in nature, bounded to the west by a strong line of planting and to the south by the north bank of the Humber Estuary. There is a variety of different house types with many larger properties focused around Melton Road and Swanland Hill. In addition, employment development at the nearby Melton and Humber Bridgehead Key Employment Sites will provide significant employment opportunities for residents.

134 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

3.228 North Ferriby is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document with 85 new houses proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of new dwellings that will be brought forward through existing planning permissions (10 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate four residential sites. The Strategy Document supports sewage treatment capacity improvements, additional secondary school pupil capacity, and additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required in the surrounding area.

What you told us...

No significant opportunities for new market housing. The character of the village and its open spaces should be recognised and protected. The well-treed, green and secluded impression of the village from the surrounding higher land is valued and should be protected further. The Riverside Walkway area, reed pond and Ings Fields, allotments and playing fields, and Long Plantation are important green areas that need to be protected. Concern about the impact of the developments proposed at Melton and the Humber Bridge on the character of the village.

Site Allocations

3.229 A range of small sites in North Ferriby have been identified as allocations. These will help to ensure that the character of the area is maintained, prevent significant encroachment into the open countryside and minimise the coalescence of North Ferriby and Hessle.

Housing Sites

Policy FER2 - Land and Godfery Robinson House (0.98ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

3.230 The site is within the existing built form of the village and has an indicative capacity of 26 dwellings. There is potentially contaminated, infilled land to the east and proposals will need to investigate and mitigate any risk of migration onto the site. Access is expected to be taken from Parkland Drive.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 135 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy FER4 - Land at Grange Lane (0.30ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the trees and hedgerows to the northern boundary and provide additional landscaping to the eastern boundary.

3.231 The site has indicative capacity for 9 dwellings and would round off the built form in this part of the settlement. It is adjacent to the Conservation Area but appropriate design, layout and maintaining tree cover and boundary features should mitigate potential adverse impact. Additional landscaping to the eastern boundary is required in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. The cemetery around All Saints' Church is adjacent to the northern boundary of the site. Proposals should consider the potential risk of the migration of any contamination from the cemetery and, if necessary, ensure any risk is mitigated. Access is expected to be taken from Grange Lane and is likely to require the demolition of 1 Grange Lane.

Policy FER5 - East of Wilson Close (0.68ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the trees and hedgerows to the north and eastern boundaries.

3.232 The site is adjacent to the Conservation Area and any scheme would need to have regard to its settling. The site has indicative capacity for 18 dwellings. Whilst it would extend the built form of the settlement to the east, the impact should not be significant, if the design and layout are appropriate, due to the presence of the mature trees to the north and east. Access is expected to be taken from Wilson Close.

Policy FER6 - Land off Ferriby High Road (0.92ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the trees and hedgerows to the northern and western boundaries;

b. Provide additional landscaping to the eastern and southern boundaries; and

a. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed.

136 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

3.233 The site has an indicative capacity for 25 dwellings. Whilst it would extend the built form of the settlement to the east, this impact can be mitigated by the retention of existing boundary features, particular the mature trees along Ferriby High Road. New landscaping along the southern and eastern boundaries of the site would also help to provide a soft edge to the village and integrate the development into the surrounding landscape. Proposals will need to ensure that surface water run off from Swanland Hill does not pose a risk to new development on the site.

Rejected Sites

3.234 This section lists those sites in North Ferriby that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site FER1

Development would result in significant loss of important trees.

Rejected Site FER3

Rejected Site FER10

Development would involve the subdivision of large plot within the Conservation Area, which could have a significant adverse impact on the character of the area.

Rejected Site FER11

Site is remote from the main body of the village.

Preston

Settlement Context

3.235 The village of Preston lies on the B1240 to the north of Hedon and is approximately 2.5 miles from the Hull city boundary. A Conservation Area has been designated around the historic core of the village, which is centred on Main Street. Buildings are predominately two storey in height, of which many date from the 19th Century and display an almost continuous built up frontage. Main Street is dominated at the northern end by the 13th Century Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I listed building. Development in the late 20th Century rounded off the eastern edge of the village around East End Road and Weghill Road.

3.236 The southern end of the village is dominated by the South Holderness Technology College which provides secondary education provision for this part of Holderness. There is a range of other services available in the village, which are mainly located on Main Street and Station Road, and include a primary school, sports centre, local

138 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

store, post office and three public houses. There is also a bus service connecting the village to Hedon and Hull, which enables residents to access a much more extensive range of services and facilities.

3.237 Preston is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document, with 85 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (10 dwellings), three sites have been identified as draft housing allocations.

What you told us...

Proposed development should not impinge on the existing boundaries of Preston. The present industrial land allocated in Preston should not increase.

Site Allocations

3.238 There are significant areas to the south west of Preston that are located within areas at high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). In addition, the village has a strongly defined Eastern boundary with more sporadic, loose knit ribbon development along Sproately Road to the north. The allocations have been selected in order to avoid the high flood risk areas, excessive intrusion into the open countryside and to create a more rounded urban form to the north of Preston.

Housing Sites

Policy PRES3 - Land West of Wyton Road (0.71ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and incorporate the significant landscape features around the periphery of the site.

3.239 The site currently comprises a detached dwelling with a large garden that is accessed off Wyton Road. It is adjacent to Conservation Area for the village. Therefore, the strong peripheral hedgerows and trees around each boundary of the site that should, where possible, be retained. This will help to integrate new development in the the surrounding building and landscape character. Redevelopment of the whole site would have an indicative capacity of 19 dwellings.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 139 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy PRES5 - Land South of Sproatley Road (0.77ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and integrate the line of trees fronting onto Sproatley Road; and

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the eastern boundary.

3.240 The site currently forms a small paddock that is accessed off Sproatley Road and has an indicative capacity of 21 dwellings. It is surrounded by existing housing on three sides, although ribbon development along Sproatley Road has resulted in a less clearly defined urban edge in this part of the village. There is a strong line of mature trees along the frontage to Sproatley Road and an existing hedgerow forms the site's eastern boundary. These should be integrated into any scheme to help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy PRES10 - Land North of Thornton Grove (1.72ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the existing hedgerows and trees on the boundaries and within the site wherever possible.

3.241 The site is currently a paddock that is entirely surrounded by existing residential development and adjacent to the Conservation Area for Preston. It is well related to the village centre and other facilities, and is already allocated in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan (1999). The site remains suitable for development and has an indicative capacity for 46 dwellings. Access would need to be taken from East End Road and existing trees and hedgerows within the site should be retained and integrated into the development.

Rejected Sites

3.242 This section lists those sites in Preston that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site PRES1

Site is located within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) and would result in a significant intrusion of built form into open countryside. It is also poorly related to the existing settlement pattern and local services.

140 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

Rejected Site PRES2

Site is located within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

Rejected Site PRES4

Site is the grounds of the Nags Head public house and development would result in the loss of an open green space. The shape of the site is likely to limit the number of dwellings to below the size threshold for allocation.

Rejected Site PRES6

Rejected Site PRES13

Development would result in a significant intrusion of built form into open countryside and site is poorly related to the existing settlement pattern and local services.

Skirlaugh

Settlement Context

3.243 Skirlaugh is a village approximately 4 miles from the city of Hull boundary. The original parts of the village are located to the west of the B1243 road, with some buildings dating from the 15th Century, including the Church of St Augustine. The main body of the settlement extends along the A165 Hull to Bridlington road with a considerable amount of 1970s residential estate development around Benningholme Lane.

3.244 There are a range of services available in the village, which include a Primary School, local store, post office and two public houses. A bus service connects the village to Hedon and Hull, which enables residents to access a much more extensive range of services and employment opportunities.

3.245 Skirlaugh is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document, with 70 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (9 dwellings), one site has been identified as a draft housing allocation.

142 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

What you told us...

Surface water will need to be carefully managed as a result of new development. Sites in close proximity of Lambwarth Stream are in the high risk flood zone. Development needs to consider the relationship to Listed Buildings and potential archaeological features.

Site Allocations

3.246 There are significant locations around Lambwath Stream that are within areas at high food risk (Flood Zone 3a). In addition, the village has strongly defined boundaries, with important open views on the approach to the village from the A165, B1243 and Benningholme Lane. Therefore, the allocations have sought to round off the urban form to the west of Skirlaugh which will minimise the intrusion of new development into the open countryside, whilst avoiding areas at high risk of flooding.

Housing Sites

Policy SKG6 Land to the North of Mill House Way (4ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and western boundaries of the site;

b. Locate additional open space areas adjacent to the existing playing fields;

c. Incorporate the Public Right of Way that crosses the site; and

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

3.247 The site was allocated for housing development in the Holderness Borough Local Plan and is still considered suitable for development. It has an indicative capacity of 65 dwellings, which has been reduced to provide for a significant landscape buffer along the north and western boundaries. This will help to provide a soft edge to the built form and integrate the development into the surrounding landscape. The site could be accessed from Millhouse Way and Rowton Drive and is well related to the existing built form of the settlement. There is a public right of way that crosses the site and provides a pedestrian link to Hillfield Drive. This should be integrated into any proposed scheme to ensure pedestrian access to services and facilities in the village is retained. Outdoor play and amenity space could be provided to connect to and extend the exiting playing fields, which are located along the south eastern boundary of the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 143 3 Beverley & Central sub area

3.248 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Rejected Sites

3.249 This section lists those potential sites in Skirlaugh that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

South Cave

Settlement Context

3.250 The village of South Cave lies on the A1034 approximately 4 miles north west of Brough and 14 miles to the west of Hull city centre. It sits at the foot of the western escarpment of the Yorkshire Wolds. The village is split into two parts, separated by the grounds of Cave Castle, a mansion house built in 1787 which is now a hotel and golf club, and the primary school. There are two Conservation Areas, one covering a small area of West End and a larger one encompassing Cave Castle and surrounding areas including Station Road, Market Place and Brough Road. South Cave has excellent access to the A63/M62, as well as links by bus to Beverley, Goole, Hull, Melton, York and Wyke College, with some services also stopping at Hull Royal Infirmary and Goole Hospital. There are also a number of services and facilities in the village including a sports centre, doctors, dentists, opticians, pubs, a bank, a library and a range of shops.

3.251 South Cave is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 85 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the existing planning permissions (7 dwellings), one site is proposed as a housing allocation. The Strategy Document supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes, and additional secondary school pupil capacity which may be required in the surrounding area.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 145 3 Beverley & Central sub area

What you told us...

Little Wold Lane and the junctions at Little Wold Lane/Beverley Road, Little Wold Lane/The Stray and Beverley Road/Market Place are inadequate for the level of development. The area around the Wolds Way should not be developed to maintain the open areas and beauty around the Wolds Way. There is poor public transport and the population density is not high enough to sustain sustainable public transport. South Cave should not become like Brough or become a commuter village. Consideration should be given to the impact that development will have on properties down stream, in flood zone 3. More smaller sites would be preferable to one large site. The Parish Council object to the Site Assessment Methodology and feel they should have been more involved in preparing the methodology, not just the assessment of sites.

Site Allocations

3.252 The allocation has been directed to an area that is within the main body of South Cave. This will minimise the impact of new development on the built and landscape character of the village, and will not result in any intrusion into the Yorkshire Wolds. Areas that would have an impact on the two Conservation Areas, or sites within the high risk risk zone, have been avoided. The areas at risk of flooding are generally found in the southern part of the village and around South Cave Beck.

Housing Sites

Policy SCAV6/7 - Land North of Middle Garth Drive (4.69ha)

This site is allocated for housing use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the existing trees and hedgerows around and within the site;

b. Provide for a pedestrian/cycle access to Market Place and through the site to The Stray;

c. Retain an area of land at the eastern side as amenity open space; and

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

146 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

3.253 The site is situated within the main body of South Cave and is well related to the services and facilities within the village. A significant part of the site was allocated for residential development in the Beverley Borough Local Plan and is still considered suitable for development. A small part of the allocation, which connects the site to Market Place, is within the Conservation Area. The impact of the majority of the site on its character and appearance will be limited, but the frontage of Market Place is sensitive to change. Any impact on the Conservation Areas can also be mitigated through by the retention of trees and hedgerows on the site. An indicative site capacity of 90 dwellings is proposed to allow an area of land (approximately 0.75ha) at the eastern end of the site to remain open and provide a link with the open land to the east.

3.254 Vehicular access could be taken via Little Wold Lane, The Stray, Middle Garth or Market Place subject to the resolution of detailed highway and conservation issues. The provision of a pedestrian/cycle access through to Market Place from The Stray would increase permeability and improve sustainable access to services on Station Road and Market Place for residents living on and to the north of the site. The potential risk of contamination from suspected infilled land within the site must be appropriately investigated, and if necessary remediated, prior to development commencing.

3.255 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should demonstrate that work has been undertaken to develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Swanland

Settlement Context

3.257 The village of Swanland lies in a slightly elevated position at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, a mile north of the Humber estuary. It is seven miles west of Hull city centre, which can be accessed by an hourly bus service. To the east lies West Ella, with the Key Employment Site at Melton to the west and North Ferriby to the south. The village has mediaeval origins and grew steadily until the middle of the twentieth century when it began to expand rapidly. Parts of Swanland , particularly to the south of the village, are characterised by large houses within extensive grounds. However, most services and facilities are centred around West End and Main Street, and the village pond provides an attractive setting to this area.

3.258 Swanland is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 85 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account extant planning permissions (24 dwellings) three sites are proposed as housing allocations. The Strategy Document supports sewage treatment capacity improvements, additional secondary school pupil capacity, and additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required in the surrounding area.

152 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

What you told us...

Sites should have good access to the services and facilities in the village. Opposition to development that would expand the village beyond existing visual limits. Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) should be used to protect the appearance of the village, developing an areas that have TPOs will impact on the character for the village. Important local facilities that employ local people, such as Swanland Nurseries, should be retained. Sites that are not adjacent to the development limit should be rejected. The village is characterised by a woodland appearance.

Site Allocations

3.259 New allocations in Swanland have largely been focused around small sites within, or adjacent to, the village. This has included those sites where development would be least intrusive into the countryside and be best related to the built form of the settlement.

Housing Sites

Policy SWA1 - Land West of Leys Road (1.74ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the western and southern boundaries.

3.260 The allocation has been drawn to limit the intrusion of the site into the countryside. It is adjacent to a significant tree belt to the north, with playing fields to the south. Additional landscaping will be required to the western and southern boundaries in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The indicative capacity of the site is 35 dwellings, which has been reduced to reflect the additional landscaping requirements and recognise that the narrow width of the site, is likely to restrict the number of dwellings. Access is expected to be provided via Westwold.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 153 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy SWA3 - Land at Tranby Lane (0.70ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and integrate the existing trees within the site;

b. Provide for a pedestrian access to Main Street; and

c. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed.

3.261 The site was previously allocated for housing in the Beverley Borough Local Plan and is still considered suitable for allocation. The site is located within the main body of the village and is well related to existing services and facilities. A pedestrian access from the north west corner of the site leading to Main Street should be provided to further enhance pedestrian access to the village centre. Retaining the existing trees on the site will help to preserve the character in the area and to reduce impact on the setting of the Listed Church and the adjacent Conservation Area. The indicative capacity for the site has therefore been reduced to 8 dwellings in the light of these factors.

3.262 Proposals will need to ensure that a surface water flow path along Tranby Lane adjacent to the site does not pose a risk to new development. The vehicular access will be expected via Tranby Lane. In addition, an existing Public Right of Way lies adjacent to the site providing a footpath from Tranby Lane to Main Street through the grounds of the primary school. Development of this allocation could provide an opportunity to allow for the re-routing of the Public Right of Way away from the school grounds and through the allocation.

Policy SWA4 -Land South of Humber View (2.88ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Have regard to the relatively low density that comprises the character of the surrounding area; and

b. Provide additional landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries.

3.263 The area to the north and west of the site consists of substantial houses in large grounds. Therefore, development will need to be at a relatively low density in order to minimise the impact on the character of the surrounding area. This has been reflected in the indicative capacity, which has been reduced to 22 dwellings. A number of trees on the site are covered by a Tree Preservation Order and their

154 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

retention will help protect the existing character of the area. Landscaping should be provided to the southern and eastern boundaries in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will reduce the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Access to the site will be expected via Humber View.

Thorngumbald

Settlement Context

3.265 The village of Thorngumbald is two miles to the east of Hedon and is located on the core bus route that connects Withernsea and Hedon to Hull. Whilst the main part of the village lies between the A1033 to the north and Hooks Lane to the south, it was originally focused around the junction of Church Lane and Main Street. Since the 1960s the village has experienced extensive residential development that has resulted in large numbers of residents commuting out of the village to access employment opportunities within Hull. There is a range of services available for local residents, including a primary school, pharmacy, post office, several shops and two public houses.

3.266 Thorngumbald is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. No specific allocations for residential development will be made based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in the village.

What you told us...

Tickton

Settlement Context

3.269 The village of Tickton is located approximately 2 miles east of Beverley. It lies directly to the south of the A1035 road and to the east of the River Hull. The village is centred on Main Street, and has a shop, primary school, village hall and two public houses. A Conservation Area has been designated along much of Main Street, which includes a number of 18th and 19th century single storey cottages which contribute to the special character of the village. Employment opportunities in Tickton are mainly focused in local services and facilities and agriculture. The Principal Town of Beverley, which is linked to Tickton by a bus service and a foot and cycle path, performs an important role as a service centre for residents of the village.

3.270 Tickton is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. No specific allocations for residential development will be made based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in the village.

What you told us...

The capacity of the existing electrical supply, sewerage and drainage systems, and road network all need to be taken into account. The quality of the drainage and sewerage systems and the electricity supply are currently unacceptable.

Walkington

Settlement Context

3.273 The village of Walkington is situated on the B1230 road, approximately 3 miles south-west of Beverley. It has a small number of services and facilities, including three public houses, a village shop, village hall and primary school. These, along with the attractive pond that provides a central focal point within the settlement, are primarily located along the main road that runs through the centre of the village (East End and West End). A wide variety of buildings of different characters are located along this road and, due to its architectural and historic interest, a large part of the village has been designated as a Conservation Area. Walkington is connected by bus services and a foot and cycle path to the nearby Principal Town of Beverley, which provides an important service centre role for the residents of the village.

162 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

3.274 Walkington is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 70 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (10 dwellings), three sites have been identified as draft housing allocations. The Strategy Document supports highway improvements to the A1079 and is likely to include improvements to Killingwoldgraves Roundabout, and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Development should only take place within the existing development limit to the village. The boundary of the settlement should be retained in a tight from so that building does not project out into the historic landscape surrounding the village. Concern raised about the impact that development will have on the village school. The countryside character of the approach into the village from Beverley should be maintained.

Site Allocations

3.275 Allocations within Walkington have sought to reflect the existing pattern of development, and make use of sites that are within or well related to the village. Open land at the entrance to the settlement along the B1230 are considered important to the setting of Walkington. These contribute to the sense of a rural urban transition as you enter the village, and development in these areas has been avoided. In addition, a large part of the village is a designated as a Conservation Area and allocations have sought to avoid any adverse impact on its character.

Housing Sites

Policy WAL1 - Land to the north of Walkington House (0.75ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the mature trees on the boundaries of the site.

3.276 This site is reasonably well located to the settlement pattern and, with the retention of peripheral trees and hedgerows, could be developed without undue impact. Townend Road and Manorhouse Lane provide a logical and defensible limit to the edge of the settlement. The site has been given an indicative capacity of 20 dwellings

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 163 3 Beverley & Central sub area

Policy WAL2 - Land South of Walkington House (0.73ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the mature trees on the boundaries and within the site.

3.277 This site has an indicative capacity of the site is 20 dwellings. It is well related to the existing built form of the village, and Townend Road and Manorhouse Lane provide a logical limit to the settlement. The trees on the western and southern boundary of the site are subject to Tree Preservation Orders and provide valuable screening to the site. Their retention will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Additionally, the site is located adjacent to a former landfill site. Proposals should consider the potential risk of migration of any contamination from the landfill site and, if necessary, ensure any risk is mitigated.

Policy WAL5 - Land to West of Redgates (1.1ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a vehicular link between Redgates and Mill Rise; and

b. Retain the protected trees within the site.

3.278 This site, which has an indicative capacity of the 30 dwellings,is within the main body of the village and surrounded by development on all sides. The site is currently allocated for housing in the Beverley Borough Local Plan. It provides an opportunity for development that continues and complements the built character of the village. The site is adjacent to the Conservation Area and proposals will need to have regard to its character, appearance and setting. Additionally, a small group of trees to the southeast of the site are subject to Tree Preservation Orders and should be sensitively incorporated into the development. Proposals would need to incorporate a vehicular and pedestrian link between Redgates and Mill Rise. This would complete the aims of the original development brief for this site, and the adjacent sites which have already been developed.

Wawne

Settlement Context

3.280 The village of Wawne lies on the outskirts of Hull. It has a population of around 900 and is situated on the east bank of the river Hull approximately 5.5 miles north east of the city centre, which is accessible by local bus services.A narrow belt of open land separates Wawne from the city, which creates an important gap and helps the village retain its separate identity.Post war development has taken place that has given the village a rectilinear form, with ribbon development to the north along Meaux Road. Most of the buildings in the village date from the 20th century, and, apart from the church, are of brick construction.Whilst Wawne is predominantly residential in character, it contains a range of services and facilities for local residents including a Primary School, Post Office , local store and Public House.

3.281 Wawne is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 40 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (1 dwelling), one site has been allocated for housing development.

What you told us...

Sites in Wawne should be considered as being part of the City of Hull.

Site Allocations

3.282 The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment identifies that the majority of the village is at high risk of flooding. Development has been directed to those areas to the north side of the village, which are outside the area at high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

Woodmansey

Settlement Context

3.285 The village of Woodmansey occupies low lying land to the west of the River Hull and approximately two miles south east of Beverley. It is on the A1174 road from Hull to Beverley and has good public transport links with hourly services on the Hull to Scarborough (via Beverley, Driffield and Bridlington) route and on the Hull to Hornsea (via Beverley) route. These connect residents to a wide range of services and employment opportunities in the larger centres. In addition, the village has a small range of local facilities, including a primary school, church and public house.

3.286 There are two main parts to the village. The southern part extends as a ribbon development along Hull Road with the vast majority of buildings situated on the eastern side of the road. Development in the north of the village is more nucleated with many properties off side streets. Tokenspire Business Park is located north of the village and provides a number of jobs for

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 169 3 Beverley & Central sub area

residents in the surrounding area, including Beverley. The area is also characterised by large numbers of glasshouses which dominate the flat open land, especially to the south of the village.

3.287 Woodmansey is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 70 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the existing planning permissions (12 dwellings), two sites are proposed as housing allocations.

3.288 Allocations for employment development are not generally being made in Primary Villages, in accordance with the approach to employment land allocations set out within the Strategy Document. However, there is an identified need for employment land to serve the needs of Beverley, and there is a limited supply of sites within the town that are appropriate to meet this requirement. The Tokenspire Business Park is located between Woodmansey and Beverley, and provides employment opportunities for residents in both settlements. Due to its proximity and potential to help meet the requirement for employment land in Beverley, two sites here have been identified as employment allocations.

3.289 The Strategy Document supports the construction of the Beverley Integrated Transport Plan including southern relief road and improvements Hull Road and Grovehill highway junctions, and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

The A1174 Beverley to Hull Road is already under pressure in terms of volumes of traffic and is currently in need of repair.

Site Allocations

3.290 The majority of the village, except for some specific areas in the north and west, fall within an area at high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Therefore, sites in Woodmansey have been allocated to avoid developing more vulnerable uses in areas at high risk of flooding.

Housing Sites

Policy WOOD21- Land East of Ivanhoe (0.31ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain trees on the northern boundary of the site and provide for additional landscaping to the western boundary

170 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Beverley & Central sub area 3

3.291 The site has an indicative capacity of 9 dwellings. It is well related to the northern part of the village and is outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). The trees to the northern boundary of the site should be retained and landscaping should be provided to the western boundary to help integrate the development into the surrounding landscape and minimise any impact on the character of the surrounding area.

Policy WOOD27 - Land South of Hull Road (1.24ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern, eastern and western boundaries.

3.292 The site has an indicative capacity of 33 dwellings. It is well related to the northern part of the village and is outside the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Additional landscaping will be required along the southern, eastern and western boundaries in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the visual impact of the development from the south and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Employment Sites

Policy WOOD20 - Extension to Tokenspire (2.25ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Investigate and mitigate any biodiversity impacts; and

b. Provide additional landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries.

3.293 This site will support the continued growth and expansion of the Tokenspire Business Park. It is most likely to be suitable for businesses in the B2 and B8 use classes which would complement the existing uses on the business park. The site is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a), however, employment uses are defined as a less vulnerable use. Whilst employment development would be acceptable in this area, any proposals will still need to mitigate the risk in accordance with Strategy Document and the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment.

3.294 The site is on a Biodiversity Action Plan priority habitat and adjacent to a Local Wildlife Site (Figham Pastures). Therefore, it will be necessary to investigate and mitigate any potential impacts that a proposal may have on biodiversity. Landscaping

Principal Towns

Bridlington

Settlement Context

4.1 Bridlington is the largest town in terms of population in the East Riding. It is situated on the Holderness Coast in the north east of the East Riding, and has two beaches that lie either side of its working harbour. The Hull-Scarborough rail line links the town to Beverley, Driffield and beyond, with road connections provided by the A614 and A165. The Old Town, Quay and Hilderthorpe Areas of the town have each been designated as a Conservation Area, due to their special character.

4.2 The town has a sub-regional role as a significant service, employment and transport hub for the surrounding area. It also has an important role as a tourism destination, particularly in the summer months. Employment is focused in the town centre, at Bessingby and Pinfold Lane Industrial Estates. The large industrial estate at Carnaby, which lies on the outskirts of the town, also provides a significant number of business and employment opportunities for residents. However, Bridlington is currently considered to be under performing as a retail centre. An Area Action Plan has been prepared for the Town Centre, which aims to deliver major developments that will support the regeneration of the town.

4.3 Bridlington is identified as a Principal Town in the draft Strategy Document and 3,300 new houses are proposed for the town over the period to 2028/29. This includes 600 dwellings that are planned for in the Town Centre Area Action Plan and 307 dwellings that already have planning permission. Taking this into account, five sites have been allocated for housing development. The Employment Land Review identified a continued need for employment land and, as there is a limited supply of sites suitable for this use within the town and Carnaby Industrial Estate is very well established as a location which serves the requirements of businesses in this area, two sites have been allocated for employment uses at Carnaby. These will complement the office developments proposed for the Town Centre in the Area Action Plan. In addition, the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study set out that there is capacity for 20,800m2 to 41,600m2 of new retail floorspace in the town. This will be delivered principally through allocations in the Town Centre Area Action Plan, as well as one draft allocation that will meet the longer term needs of the town. The Strategy Document supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes, transport infrastructure improvements to better connect the town centre to the rest of the town and sub-area, and additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required in the area.

178 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Bridlington Coastal sub area 4

What you told us...

Development should not take place in the gaps between Bridlington, and the villages of Bessingby and Sewerby. Concern expressed over the capacity of the town's infrastructure including sewerage, roads, schools and health services. Concern about the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development. Development to the north of the town should be avoided as it would intrude into the Yorkshire Wolds. Further development of Carnaby Industrial Estate, and the relocation of industrial/warehousing activities to this area, is supported.

Site Allocations

4.4 The allocations have been focused in areas where they would be well related to main body of the settlement, local services, transport links and community facilities. Sites have been avoided where their development would result in an excessive or unnecessary extension of the built form out into the open countryside, or the loss of valuable open amenity space, allotments and playing fields.

4.5 The opportunities for the expansion of Bridlington is constrained by the sea to the east, as well as sensitive open gaps to Sewerby in the north and to Bessingby in the south. There is also a groundwater Source Protection Zone 1 that covers a large area to the north west of the town. Therefore, the majority of the new housing development has been directed to the north, west and south west of the town.

Housing Sites

Policy BRID1 - Land at Kingsgate (23.43ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the south western and south eastern boundaries, and a substantial landscaped buffer to the north western boundary;

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems and ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed; and

c. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 179 4 Bridlington Coastal sub area

4.6 This site, which is located on one of the main entrances to the town, would not involve intrusion into an area of particularly high quality landscape. It is situated with the main road and the railway line on two sides, and existing housing development to the north east. There is also good access into the town centre from the public transport links along the A165. It has an indicative capacity of 615 dwellings.

4.7 Proposals will need to take account of the proximity of the Sewage Works to the south west, as well as the railway line running alongside the north western boundary. The provision of adequate outdoor playing and amenity space, and appropriate structural landscaping, can assist in mitigating the impact of these factors. A substantial landscaped buffer will be required to the railway line to ensure the residential amenity of the new dwellings. In addition, a substantial part of the outdoor play space required as part of the development could be located to the south western part of the site in order to minimise the intrusion of the built form and to provide a larger buffer from the sewage works.

4.8 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Proposals will need to ensure that any issues associated with ponding of surface water on the site are satisfactorily investigated and addressed. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

4.9 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy BRID7/8/28/29/41/43 - Land North of Easton Road (26.26ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and eastern boundaries and the western boundary where it adjoins the A165;

b. Provide a principal vehicular access onto the A165 with a secondary access onto the B1253 Easton Road;

c. Incorporate pedestrian and cycle access to New Pasture Lane;

d. Avoid any built form of development within the northern part of the site that lies within the Source Protection Zone 1;

e. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

f. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

180 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Bridlington Coastal sub area 4

4.10 Most of this site is allocated for housing in the East Yorkshire Borough Wide Local Plan, and is still considered suitable for development. It has an indicative capacity of 689 dwellings. As the northern part of the site is within the Source Protection Zone 1 only open space areas may be located in this part of the site to minimise any risk that built development may pose to the underlying groundwater. Additional landscaping must also be provided to the northern and eastern boundaries, and the western boundary where it adjoins the A165, to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding area.

4.11 The primary vehicular access into the site will be taken from the A165, which will be supported by a secondary access onto Easton Road. The access to the A165 should incorporate pedestrian and cycle movements and may require a dedicated pedestrian crossing on the A165 in order to enable residents to easily access the facilities within the Old Town. A pedestrian and cycle link should be provided into the adjacent housing development at New Pasture Lane in order to facilitate access to the services within the estate including the primary school and community centre.

4.12 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

4.13 In addition, a development brief for this site must be prepared and approved, which this should take full account of the existing Supplementary Planning Document that has already been adopted for a large part of the site. This should deal with various matters including the location and design of the open space areas, vehicular access points, cycle and pedestrian accessibility, the protection of the groundwater Source Protection Zone and landscaping requirements, as well as other relevant considerations.

Policy BRID11/12/13/14/31/46 - Land at Pinfold Lane (18.15ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for the retention of the existing belts of trees around and within the site;

b. Incorporate pedestrian and cycle links between the site and allocation BRD16/17/18;

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

d. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

4.14 This site is presently used as an Industrial Estate. The redevelopment of the site for residential purposes will enable heavy goods vehicles, which currently access the estate through residential roads, to be removed from this area. The site is well

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 181 4 Bridlington Coastal sub area

related to the town centre and the removal of the non-residential uses adjacent to a housing area would be of benefit to the amenity of existing residents. The site has an indicative capacity of 476 dwellings.

4.15 Development of the site will be dependent on the relocation of the existing employment uses to nearby location, expected to be Carnaby Industrial Estate. There may also need to be improvements to the junction of Pinfold Lane and Marton Road to improve the access. Links through to the adjacent allocated land to the north of the town, in particular BRID16, for pedestrian and cycle users, will also be expected to be provided. In addition, the existing planting belts around and within the site should be retained as green corridors.

4.16 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

4.17 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy BRID16/17/18 - Land North of Nostell Way, Windermere Drive and Airedale Drive (30.06ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and eastern boundaries and planting to the other boundaries where they adjoin Pinfold Lane and Bempton Lane;

b. Provide a new principal access to Bempton Lane and incorporate links to the existing road network and allocations adjacent to the site;

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

d. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

4.18 This site, which has an indicative capacity of 789 dwellings, will extend the town into countryside to the north. Therefore, there will need to be additional landscaping on the northern boundary to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Whilst the principal access to the site would be from Bempton Lane, proposals should seek to provide other vehicular, cycle and pedestrian links. Proposal should investigate the potential to create appropriate links to the adjacent road network, such as Langdale Mews, Aierdale Drive, Darwin Road and Pinfold Lane, as well as allocation BRID11/12/13/14/31/46.

182 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Bridlington Coastal sub area 4

4.19 Links through to the existing developments, and other allocated land to the south, for pedestrian and cycle users will also be expected to be provided. Whilst part of the site was allocated for recreation space in the East Yorkshire Borough Wide Local Plan, this has now been incorporated into the additional allocation for sport, recreation and leisure uses at Bessingby Hill.

4.20 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

4.21 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy BRID38/39 - Land at Burlington Centre/Priory View (1.57ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate the retention and conversion of the existing listed building within the site for residential use.

4.22 This site is presently occupied by offices and a day care centre. The redevelopment of the site will be dependent on the relocation of the activities that take place on this site to an alternative location within Bridlington. This site is very well related to the town centre and has good access to its services and facilities. Burlington House, which is located in the western part of the site, is a Grade II Listed Building and must be retained and converted as part of the development. Proposals on the rest of the site will need to ensure that they contribute the setting of this Listed Building and, as the site is also located in the Bridlington Old Town Conservation Area, the redevelopment scheme will also need to be designed having regard to the need to preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. There are some valuable open green spaces and trees within the site, as well as existing buildings that could be incorporated into any proposed scheme. The site has an estimated capacity of 49 dwellings.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 183 4 Bridlington Coastal sub area

Employment Sites

Policy CAR1/7/9/21/22 - Remaining development plots within the industrial estate and land around Wellington Way (13.07ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the boundaries adjoining the countryside; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems in conjunction with other allocated sites on the estate.

4.23 This site is the largest remaining undeveloped area within the Carnaby Industrial Estate. The site is most likely to be suitable for operations in the B2 (General Industry) and B8 (Storage and Distribution) use classes, which would complement the existing businesses operating at Carnaby. In 2007 significant investment was made to facilitate the development of this part of the industrial estate, which included the creation of a new access road and the provision of connections to the electricity, gas, communications and water networks. Consequently, the plots in this part of the site are now fully serviced and development ready. Additional landscaping will be required along the external boundaries in order to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

4.24 Due to the large size of the allocation, and proximity to other large allocations, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy CAR2 - Land South of Low Field Lane (6.6ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern site boundary; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems in conjunction with other allocated sites on the estate.

4.25 This flat open site is identified in the East Yorkshire Borough Wide Local Plan and remains suitable for development. It lies adjacent to the northern Carnaby Industrial Estate access road, and is bounded by development to the east and south. The site provides an opportunity for the continued expansion of the industrial estate. Additional landscaping will be required along the northern and western boundaries in order to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding

184 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Bridlington Coastal sub area 4

landscape. Employment development within the B2 (General Industry) and B8 (Storage and Distribution) use classes are most likely to be appropriate on this site, and will complement the businesses already in place on the industrial estate.

4.26 Due to the large size of the allocation, and proximity to other large allocations, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the estate. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Retail Sites

Policy BRID6 - Land East of Bessingby Hill (3.01ha)

This site is allocated for retail development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Demonstrate that the allocations for retail development in the Bridlington Town Centre Area Action Plan have already been developed; and

b. Design and site any built development within the site so as to preserve the open views across the site towards the Old Town.

4.27 This site has been identified to meet the long terms need for retail development in the town. It will only come forward once the retail and town centre allocations set out in the Bridlington Town Centre Area Action Plan have been developed. Proposals should seek to ensure that any built form of development on the site does not impinge on, or close off, important views across the site to the Old Town and the Priory.

Community and Infrastructure Sites

Policy BRID6a - Land East of Bessingby Hill (9.36ha)

This site is allocated for sport, recreation and leisure use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Link the site to the existing playing fields to the south of Gypsey Race.

4.28 This site is required to help to address an identified shortfall in outdoor playing pitch space within the town. The location adjacent to the existing playing pitches and sports centre, which lie to the north, will maximise the use of the existing facilities at this location. Suitable crossing points to bridge over Gypsey Race will be required to facilitate access between the two sites. In addition, the provision of outdoor play space will assist in maintaining an open aspect to the site, which will help to maintain views of the old town from the west.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 185 4 Bridlington Coastal sub area

Gypsy and Traveller Site

Policy CAR20 - Land South of Moor Lane, Carnaby (1ha)

This site is allocated for Gypsies and Travellers. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping along the boundaries of the site.

4.29 This site will provide for 13 pitches and will contribute towards meeting the need for deliverable pitches in the first 5 years of the Plan. This has been set out in Policy H3 of the Strategy Document. The site is located within close proximity to the employment opportunities at the Carnaby Industrial Estate, as well as the services and facilities of Bridlington. Access to the site can be taken from the lane running between Moor Lane and Kingsgate and additional landscaping will be required to all sides of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Rural Service Centres

Beeford

Settlement Context

4.31 The village of Beeford is situated on the crossroads of the A165 and the B1249 half way between Beverley and Bridlington. It is surrounded by flat agricultural land. While the village has retained its linear character, which extends from the A165 along both sides of Main Street, there has been some estate development. The open space setting of St Leonards Church, a Grade II* listed building, provides a valuable contribution to the character and appearance of the area. The village also has a wide range of local services including two pubs, a community centre, primary school and a post office. Local employment is mainly within the agricultural sector and village services.

4.32 Beeford is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document with 90 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of new dwellings that will be brought forward through extant planning permissions (6 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate three residential sites. The Strategy Document supports additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Extra properties would increase flood risk and reduce the land available to absorb surface water. Surface water run off must be restricted to existing greenfield runoff rates. Beeford Beck must remain open as a channel. There is limited capacity at the Waste Water Treatment Works. Development would increase the number of journeys to work and shops. Development proposals will need to demonstrate they preserve and enhance the character and setting of listed buildings. The sites will have archaeological issues because almost every single parcel of land lies within the historic core of the settlement.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 193 4 Bridlington Coastal sub area

Site Allocations

4.33 The allocations have been directed to locations that have a good relationship to the main body of the village. Sites have been avoided where they would be in visually prominent locations from the main road approaching the village from the south. In addition, development has been focused away from sites that are within the high risk flood zone, which is largely to the east of the village.

Housing Sites

Policy BEE1 Manor House Farm (1.30ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for the retention of trees to the northern boundary and additional landscaping to the western boundary.

4.34 The site contains an existing farm and associated outbuildings and has an indicative capacity of 35 dwellings. Removal of these unsightly agricultural buildings will significantly enhance the character and appearance of the site, as well as this part of the village. Development will be required to retain the tree planting to the northern boundary and provide for additional landscaping to the western boundary in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help minimise the impact of the development and integrate the development into the surrounding landscape.

4.35 The re-development of the site could include for the removal of the large, and somewhat incongruous, conifer screen on the southern boundary which would improve the character of the street scene. The potential risk of contamination from the farm and outbuildings will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Policy BEE3 Land South of Main Street (2.14ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary; and

b. Investigate and mitigate the risk of flooding, locating water compatible uses to the south of the site.

194 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Bridlington Coastal sub area 4

4.36 The site is well related to the existing built form of the village and is surrounded by development on three sides. It has an indicative capacity of 39 dwellings, which has been reduced to reflect the requirement for additional landscaping to the southern boundary and ensure flood risk within the site is minimised. Part of the site to the east was allocated in the East Yorkshire Borough Wide Local Plan and remains suitable for development. Development is anticipated to partly front onto Main Street, which would continue the existing built frontage and provide access to the remainder of the site.

4.37 Additional landscaping will be required along the southern boundary to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Development will also need to make provisions for the flood risk associated with the Braemar Drain watercourse running along the southern boundary of the site. This will include measures such as locating water compatible uses, for example amenity open space and residential gardens to the south of the site. The potential risk of contamination from the small area of infilled land use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Policy BEE9 Alton Farm Stackyard, 19 Main Street (0.64ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Consider the retention and conversion of the existing buildings within the site for residential use;

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary; and

c. Investigate and mitigate the risk of flooding, locating water compatible uses to the south of the site.

4.38 The site is well related to the existing built form of the village and is surrounded by development on three sides. It has an indicative capacity of 12 dwellings, which has been reduced to reflect the requirement for additional landscaping to the southern boundary and ensure flood risk within the site is minimised. Development proposals are required to consider the retention and conversion of the traditional listed barn fronting Main Street as well as the other outbuildings within the site. This would help to mitigate against the impacts of the development on the existing frontage along Main Street.

4.39 Additional landscaping will be required along the southern boundary to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Development will also need to make provisions for the flood risk associated with the Braemar Drain watercourse running along the southern boundary of the site. This will include measures such as locating

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 195 4 Bridlington Coastal sub area

water compatible uses, for example amenity open space and residential gardens to the south of the site. The potential risk of contamination from the small area of infilled land use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Rejected Sites

4.40 This section lists those potential sites in Beeford that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site BEE1r

Development would result in the loss of an open gap with views of the open countryside beyond.

Rejected Site BEE2

Site is not as well related to the main body of the settlement and the services and facilities in comparison to other, more suitable sites.

Rejected Site BEE4

Site is not particularly well related to the existing built form of the settlement and satisfactory access could be difficult to achieve.

Rejected Site BEE5

Site is poorly related to the existing built form of the settlement. Most of the site is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) and development would intrude into the open countryside.

Rejected Site BEE6

Site is poorly related to the existing built form of the settlement. Prominent site on main road entrance to the village from the north. Within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

196 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Bridlington Coastal sub area 4

Rejected Site BEE7

Site is poorly related to the existing built form of the settlement. Most of the site is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a).

Rejected Site BEE8

Northern section of the site would be difficult to develop without harm to amenity of adjacent dwellings due to shape and width of site. The developable area of the remaining part of the site would be under the size threshold for allocation.

Primary Villages

Flamborough

Settlement Context

4.41 Flamborough is situated approximately 4 miles north east of Bridlington town centre on the prominent Heritage Coast of Flamborough Head. This chalk headland, where the cliffs reach up to 400 feet in height, extends into the North Sea by approximately 6 miles. The village itself is located in the centre of the headland and is a popular visitor stop. A large part of the village is a designated Conservation Area, which includes North Mere Green, an open area of historic significance, and the site of the Flamborough Castle, which is a Scheduled Monument.

4.42 A range of services are located in the village including two churches, a village hall, primary school, and library, with a number of retail units located mainly along High Street and the adjoining streets. The nearby town of Bridlington, which is accessible by bus, offers an wider range of employment opportunities and services for residents, including a secondary school, hospital and rail station.

4.43 Flamborough is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document with 85 new houses proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of new dwellings that will be brought forward through extant planning permissions (12 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate three residential sites.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 197 4 Bridlington Coastal sub area

What you told us...

The potential impacts on the Flamborough Head Site of Special Scientific Interest and Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs Special Protection Area need to be considered. Development proposals will need to demonstrate they preserve the character of the Conservation Area. The major fishpond complex is a major conservation component within the historical core and should be preserved. The crop- marks of the large pre-village enclosure should be evaluated before any development is permitted.

Site Allocations

4.44 The draft allocations are focused in those areas where they have a good relationship to the main body of the settlement. Sites have been avoided where development would take place in isolated locations, create a significant extension into the open countryside, or where it would result in ribbon development.

Housing Sites

Policy FLA1 North West of Woodcock Lane (2.16ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide additional landscaping to the northern boundary;

b. Retain the existing hedgerows to the northern and western boundaries; and

c. Provide a pedestrian access to the existing Public Right of Way to the northern boundary.

4.45 The site is enclosed on two sides by built development and represents a logical extension of the existing built form, without significantly intruding into the open countryside. Bempton Lane allotments are located along the western boundary and provide a natural boundary to the site. The indicative capacity of the site is 55 dwellings.

4.46 Additional landscaping would be required along the northern boundary to provide a soft transition between the development and the open countryside. The retention of the existing hedgerows to the northern and western boundaries is also required to help screen to the allotments and integrate the development into the surrounding landscape. To make provision for pedestrian access, proposals should include a link to the existing Public Right of Way along the northern boundary. In addition, the

198 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Bridlington Coastal sub area 4

possibility of creating a new pedestrian access to south of the site through the adjacent open land at Beech Avenue should be investigated. Vehicular access to is expected to be taken from Craike Wells.

Policy FLA7 Land to the North of High Toft (0.51ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain existing hedgerows to the northern and western boundaries.

4.47 The site is well related to the existing built form of the village. It is enclosed by development on two sites and has an indicative capacity of 14 dwellings. The retention of the existing hedgerows to the northern and western boundaries would provide a soft transition between the development and the open countryside. This will help minimise the impact of the development and integrate the development into the surrounding landscape. The risk of contamination from the former farm buildings on this site will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. Access to the site is expected to be taken from Flaen Road.

Policy FLA9 Hartendale Farm, West Street (0.44ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide additional landscaping to the western and southern boundaries.

4.48 The site is well related to the existing built form of the village. The indicative capacity of the site is 10 dwellings, which recognises that the narrow width of the site is likely to restrict the number of dwellings. Additional landscaping would be required along the western and southern boundaries to provide a soft transition between the development and the open countryside. This will help minimise the impact of the development and integrate the development into the surrounding landscape. The potential risk of contamination from the former farm buildings on this site will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. Access is expected to be available from West Street.

Principal Towns

Driffield

Settlement Context

5.1 Driffield is a traditional market town lying on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds approximately 12 miles from Beverley and 12 miles from Bridlington. It has grown as a service centre for the Wolds and has an extensive rural hinterland. The town is located on the junction of the A614 and A166 and is a significant transport hub in this part of the East Riding, with a bus and rail connections to Bridlington, Beverley, Hull and Scarborough. Driffield Navigation extends south-eastwards from the town and links to the River Hull. The River Hull Headwater flows to the west and south of the town and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

5.2 There are two Conservation Areas, which predominately cover the town centre and the areas to the north and the south. These recognise that the southern area is largely commercial in character, centred around the River Head, the station and the railway line. An area of open pastoral fields known as the 'Outgang' and the Driffield Beck make an important contribution to the character of this part of the town. The centre of Driffield lies within the northern Conservation Area and is focused around Middle Street South, Middle Street North and Market Place. Middle Street North, which is the town’s main artery, transforms from being residential at its north end to being predominantly commercial and retail in the south.

5.3 The economy of Driffield has a relatively strong agricultural and manufacturing base, which is supported by the Kelleythorpe and Skerne Road industrial estates. In addition, part of the former Alamein Barracks, which is a large brownfield site to the south of Kellythorpe industrial estate, is used for commercial storage uses. The remainder of the former MoD site is now available for re-development.

5.4 Driffield is identified as a Principal Town in the Strategy Document with 2300 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of new dwellings that currently have planning permission (462 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate ten residential sites and two mixed use sites. Together these will meet the need for new housing in Driffield. The Employment Land Review identifies that there is a need for land for employment development and a further four sites

202 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

have been identified as draft employment allocations. In addition, the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study identifies that there is capacity for 2,600m2 to 5,200m2 new retail floorspace in the town, which will be met by the draft retail and mixed use allocations. The Strategy Document supports transport infrastructure to better link together the town centre and riverhead, showground, new housing at Alamein Barracks, and Kellythorpe industrial estate. Additional primary school pupil capacity may also be required in the area.

What you told us...

Developing sites within the existing town boundary and brownfield sites should be a priority. This would enhance the appearance of the Town. Nafferton and Driffield must remain separate and distinct settlements. Employment land should be safeguarded. The former RAF airfield site and base should be preserved through sympathetic development. Development must go hand in hand with improvements to infrastructure. Sites away from areas of high flood risk must be prioritised for development. Development proposals will need to demonstrate they preserve and enhance the character and setting of the Conservation Area and listed buildings. Impact on the River Hull Headwaters Site of Special Scientific Interest needs to be considered. All the proposed sites have archaeological implications.

Site Allocations

5.5 The former Alamein Barracks site and the north east of Driffield are identified as key areas of growth in the Strategy Document. Therefore draft allocations have been directed towards these locations. Other allocations have been proposed where they are well related to main body of the settlement, local services, transport links and community facilities. This supports the place statement for Driffield, set out in the Strategy Document, which encourages greenfield extensions where they would have cycling and pedestrian connections to the centre of Driffield and respect and enhance the landscape surrounding the town. There are also opportunities for the redevelopment of buildings that would enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.

5.6 Sites have been avoided where they would result in excessive or unnecessary extension of the built form out into the open countryside and the loss of valuable open amenity space, allotments or playing fields. The level of flood risk is higher in locations that are close to the River Hull and some sites within an area of high flood risk have been rejected.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 203 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

Housing Sites

5.7 In addition to these Housing Sites, DRF25/39 and DRF29 are identified within the Retail Sites as a draft mixed use allocation. These sites will also include an element of housing development.

Policy DRF3 - South of Grove Cottage, Riverhead (0.52ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Include for the widening of the access to the adopted highway; and

b. Retain existing trees and hedgerows within and around the site.

5.8 This site is well located in terms of proximity to the Town Centre and is effectively contained within the exiting built-up area of the town. An indicative capacity of 14 dwellings has been set for this site and the policy highlights the need for the existing private access road to be improved between the site and Anderson Street/River Head in order to provide a suitable access. The site is within the Driffield South Conservation Area and therefore any scheme will need to have regard to its character and appearance.

Policy DRF5 - Land adjacent to Meadow Road (5.74ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer and noise reduction measures to the northern boundary and additional landscaping to the north eastern and south eastern boundaries; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

5.9 This site has reasonable connections to the town centre and would, alongside the draft allocations to the north, create a rounding off to this side of the town. An indicative capacity of 129 dwellings has been estimated for this site.

5.10 Substantial landscaping will be required along the northern boundary together with appropriate noise reduction measures to screen the new development form the railway line. Additional planting to the north eastern and south eastern boundaries will provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

204 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

5.11 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy DRF8 - Land South of Bridlington Road (1.12ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the trees on the northern boundary; and

b. Provide additional landscaping to the western edge of the site.

5.12 This site is already occupied by built development and would not represent a significant extension of the built form of the settlement. It has been given an indicative estimated capacity of 30 dwellings. As the site is located at the entrance to the town from Bridlington Road it is important that any scheme presents a soft landscaped edge to the western boundary. This, together with the retention of the trees on the main road frontage, will help to minimise the impact of the new development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. In addition, the potential risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Policy DRF9/11/12/31 - Land north of Bridlington Road (52.33ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the western and northern edges of the site and also significant green areas within the development;

b. Include provision for a new primary school within the site;

c. Provide a new principal access to the A614 and incorporate a vehicular link to Bridlington Road;

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

e. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

5.13 The Strategy Document identifies the north east of Driffield as a key area of growth. This allocation comprises several potential sites that have been combined together in order to provide for a comprehensive development in this part of the town. In

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 205 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

total the site has been given an indicative capacity of 853 dwellings. It will result in the provision of a new access to the A614 bypass, significant areas of new outdoor play space and amenity land, as well as a new primary school. The development will need to make provision for an enhancement of the existing planting and for a substantial new planting belt to the bypass in parts. Significant planting will also be required to the eastern edge together with other landscaping within the site. This will help to mitigate the impact of the new built development on the surrounding landscape. The new tree belts should be linked to the existing ones in order to create a wildlife corridor.

5.14 A new access to the A614 bypass would provide a vehicular link through to Bridlington Road. Other vehicular, cycle and pedestrian links to the existing road network adjacent to the site may also be possible on Long Lane, Northfield Road and Northfield Avenue. The new link could also potentially help relieve traffic flows on Scarborough Road by providing an alternative access into the town when approaching from the north east.

5.15 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

5.16 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy DRF13 - Land East of Spellowgate (10.04ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and enhance the existing landscaping belts to the bypass and retain other significant trees within the site;

b. Provide appropriate footpath and cycle access across the watercourse within the site;

c. Incorporate and enhance the Public Right of Way that crosses the site;

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

e. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

5.17 This site is already enclosed within the A614 northern bypass and is reasonably well connected to the town centre and local facilities. It is divided by a watercourse which should be retained and incorporated into appropriate areas of open space. Vehicular

206 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

access to the two parts of the site will probably be obtained separately from Scarborough Road to the east and Spellowgate to the west. However, pedestrian and cycle access could be provided between the two parts in order to link to the Public Right of Way on the western side of the watercourse (Water Forlorns).

5.18 There are significant groups of trees within the site, particularly to the south eastern part along Scarborough Road. These should be retained wherever possible and incorporated into appropriate areas of open space. The southern part of the site is also within the Driffield North Conservation Area and, therefore, any scheme must have regard to preserving or enhancing its character and appearance. The site has been given an indicative capacity of 226 dwellings having regard to the factors discussed above.

5.19 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

5.20 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy DRF14 - Land East of Pinkey's Lane and North of Angus Drive (0.86ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate the Public Right of Way running through the site.

5.21 This site is presently a vacant and overgrown plot, and is very well located in terms of access to the Town Centre. It has been assessed as having an indicative capacity of 23 dwellings and any scheme would need to incorporate the Public Right Of Way running through the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 207 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

Policy DRF18 - Alamein Barracks (27.88ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the northern and western boundaries and to retain trees within the site;

b. Incorporate appropriate pedestrian and cycle links within and from the site to connect with the existing pedestrian and cycle network. This should include a link to allocation DRF17/27/28;

c. Provide a direct bus link between the site and Driffield Town Centre;

d. The location of public open space and other non-housing uses should be located within the areas of the site that are at higher risk of flooding;

e. Provide for the relocation of the Territorial Army barracks to another location within, or away from, the site;

f. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

g. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

5.22 This site is identified in the Strategy Document as being a key area for growth and has, therefore, been included as a draft housing allocation. It is a large brownfield site having previously been used as a Ministry of Defence base. The site is now vacant except for the Territorial Army that occupy part of the site. A more appropriate layout and design of the allocation is likely to be achieved by relocating the Territorial Army to either an alternative location within the allocation or to an alternative site that is equally, or more, suited to their needs. Additional planting and other screening measures will also be required to ensure compatibility between the housing development and the adjacent employment uses to the west.

5.23 As the site is not within the main Driffield urban area, connections to the local cycle and pedestrian networks will be important to ensure the greatest possible accessibility to the town. These connections should create a link to the Kelleythorpe Industrial Estate to the north of the allocation. In addition, proposals should consider how they can integrate to the existing public transport system and ensure that a direct bus link is provided between the site and the town. The potential risk of contamination from the current and former uses on the site will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. The site has been given an indicative capacity of 480 dwellings.

208 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

5.24 Surface water flooding alleviation works may be required for the northern parts of the site. Part of the site also falls within an area at risk from flooding and proposals should seek to locate less vulnerable uses, such as the open space, in this part of the site. Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

5.25 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy DRF24 - Site of disused Mill, Anderson Street (0.35ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Investigate the retention and conversion of the existing former mill building; and

b. Provide for appropriate noise attenuation measures to the northern boundary adjacent to the railway line.

5.26 This brownfield site occupies an important and prominent position within the Driffield South Conservation Area and is very well located in terms of access to the Town Centre. Opportunities exist for the suitable conversion of the existing former sugar mill building, which would help to preserve and enhance this part of the Conservation Area. Therefore, proposals should seek to retain and convert, rather than demolish, the existing building as well as consider the potential for infill development to the rear. Suitable measures to deal with noise attenuation from the railway line to the rear of the site will be required. The potential risk of contamination from the current use will also need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. The site has been given an indicative capacity of 11 dwellings based on the site area, however conversion of the existing building could result in a higher density development.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 209 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

Policy DRF30 - Land North of Meadow Gates (13.93ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Supplement the substantial tree belts on the eastern and southern boundaries and retain the other two groups of trees within the site;

b. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

5.27 The site is quite well located in terms of the existing settlement pattern and would help to round off the urban edge to this part of the town. There is already a strong tree belt established along the eastern and southern boundaries, which will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Additional planting will be expected to enhance this and provide appropriate green spaces within the development.

5.28 Access to the site could be achieved via a number of routes including Fieldfare, The Chase and New Walk. Opportunities to link vehicular, pedestrian and cycle access within and through the site, and to adjacent developments should be maximised where appropriate in order to increase accessibility and permeability. In addition, the potential risk of contamination the site will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. An estimated indicative capacity of 313 dwellings has been identified for the site.

5.29 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

5.30 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy DRF38 - Land South Side of Lockwood Street (1.09ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

210 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

5.31 The site is close to the Town Centre and already within the built up area. It is also within the Driffield South Conservation Area and any scheme will need to have due regard to the need to preserve and enhance its character and appearance. The site has been estimated to provide 29 dwellings based on the site area.

Employment Sites

Policy DRF17/27/28 - Kellythorpe development plots and expansion land (9.07ha)

This site is allocated for employment use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate pedestrian and cycle links between the site and allocation DRF18;

b. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the southern boundary; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems

5.32 This site includes the undeveloped areas within Kellythorpe Industrial Estate, and land that will cater for its expansion. This includes land within the industrial estate (draft allocation DRF28) that currently has planning permission to enable the expansion of the adjacent pet food factory. The site is most likely to be suitable for employment uses within the Use Classes B2 or B8, which would complement the existing uses on the industrial estate.

5.33 Pedestrian and cycle links, which provide access to the proposed housing development at Alamein Barracks (site DRF18) to the south of this site, should be incorporated into development on the expansion land. This will promote opportunities for employees to travel to work by sustainable modes of transport. Substantial landscaping should also be provided to the southern boundary of the site to screen it from the proposed residential development, and ensure that the industrial uses do not detract from residential amenity.

5.34 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy DRF26 - Skerne Road (1.64ha)

This site is allocated for employment use.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 211 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

5.35 This site is the remaining undeveloped area at the Skerne Road Industrial Estate. It is most likely to be suitable for employment uses within Use Classes B2 or B8. This would complement the existing uses on the industrial estate and the recent development that has taken place on the adjacent site.

Retail Sites

Policy DRF25/39 - North of Exchange Street and East of Middle Street (Viking Centre) (1.06ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use including retail and residential development.

5.36 The site is well related to Driffield's Primary Shopping Area and has potential for retail development as part of a mixed use scheme. Part of the site is identified as a development opportunity within the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study and it will contribute towards meeting the identified need for retail floorspace within Driffield, as set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document. Planning permission has been granted for part of the site, which will provide new retail units and 25 dwellings. The remainder of the draft allocation has an indicative capacity of 7 dwellings. The site is also partly within the the Driffield North Conservation Area and any scheme will need to have due regard to the need to preserve and enhance its character and appearance.

Policy DRF29 - Cattle Market, Beckside (2.36ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use including retail, housing and employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Ensure development of the site allows ease of access for pedestrians throughout and designed to integrate well with the adjacent primary shopping area.

5.37 The site is within the Town Centre boundary for Driffield and comprises a variety of uses, including existing public car parking and the former cattle market. Planning permission has been granted for a mixed use development, which would include 44 new dwellings, office and retail floorspace. It is also identified as a development opportunity within the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study and is well related to the Primary Shopping Area. A retail-led mixed use development would contribute towards meeting the identified need of retail within Driffield, as set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document. Therefore, it will be essential that proposals seek to support and strengthen the links to the adjacent Primary Shopping Area. This should allow for pedestrian access throughout the site, which has connections to a number of surrounding streets.

212 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

Policy DRF40 - George Street (1.33ha)

This site is allocated for retail use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Ensure development of the site allows ease of access for pedestrians throughout and designed to integrate well with the adjacent primary shopping area.

5.38 The site is within the Town Centre boundary for Driffield and currently comprises an existing Tesco store and one other vacant retail unit. Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of the site for a replacement Tesco store. It has been identified as a development opportunity within the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study and is well related to the Primary Shopping Area. The site would provide for the identified need of retail within Driffield, as set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document. Therefore, it will be essential that proposals seek to support and strengthen the links to the adjacent Primary Shopping Area. This should allow for pedestrian access throughout the site, which has connections to both George Street and Middle Street South.

Rural Service Centres

Hutton Cranswick

Settlement Context

5.40 Hutton Cranswick is approximately 3 miles south of Driffield on the A164. Originally comprising two villages, Hutton to the north and Cranswick to the south, the settlement is now considered as a single village. A ribbon of development along Hutton Road almost bridges the gap between Hutton and Cranswick, though the two parts of the village have retained a distinctive character. The Conservation Area for Hutton is located around the focal point of St Peter's Church and many of the properties are constructed tightly to adjacent highways. However, there are notable exceptions of large houses set in generous grounds.

5.41 Cranswick is focused around the large and well maintained village green, which includes a number of large horse chestnut trees and a pond. The green, and the surrounding buildings, form part of the Cranswick Conservation Areas. In recent years most development has taken place beside the Hull to Scarborough railway line in Cranswick and away from the main approaches to the village, to the east of the railway line, the houses are of a larger and more open nature than the more densely arranged homes on Main Street.

5.42 Within the village there are a number of services and facilities, including 3 pubs, a post office, two petrol stations, a small convenience store and a village hall. The land surrounding Hutton Cranswick is mainly used for agricultural purposes, which makes an important contribution to the economic activity that takes place in the area. In addition, a variety of businesses are also based at the Cranswick Industrial Estate, just south of the village, which provides employment opportunities for local people. There are frequent bus services to Scarborough, Bridlington, Driffield and Hull which provide the residents of Hutton Cranswick with access to a wider range of services, facilities and employment opportunities.

5.43 Hutton Cranswick is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document, with 90 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (37 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate four sites for residential development.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 217 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

What you told us...

Over-development threatens the quality and rural character of the village. Development should be located in areas of lowest flood risk. Any increase in residents necessitates corresponding improvements in infrastructure. Concern expressed about the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development. Residential development should not occur to the west of Beverley Road as it would be poorly related to the main body of the village and separated by an A road.

Site Allocations

5.44 The allocations have been focused in Cranswick where they have good access to the services and facilities of the village, including the train station. Development has been avoided to the west of Beverley Road, where it would be poorly related to the main body of the village, and has been directed toward areas that relate best to the existing character of the village and have the least impact on the surrounding landscape.

Housing Sites

Policy CRA14 - Land north and west of Simpsons Civil Engineering, Main Street, Cranswick (0.44ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary.

5.45 The site is well located to services and facilities in the centre of the village, and is close to the main body of the settlement. Part of the site has previously been used as a storage area for the adjacent engineering business, which now has planning permission to be redeveloped for housing. The site has an indicative capacity of 13 dwellings. Additional landscaping should be provided on the northern boundary of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Access into the site will come from the new development on the former Simpsons Civil Engineering site.

218 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

Policy CRA15 - Land to the east of Eddlemere Lane, Cranswick (0.5ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the mature trees on the western and northern edges of the site; and b. Provide for noise reduction fencing along the boundary of the railway line.

5.46 The site, which has an indicative capacity of 14 dwellings, is well located to services and facilities in the centre of the village. It also relates well to the settlement pattern as it has existing development on two sides, and a draft allocation to the east. The site comprises the previously developed land of the former plastic works. The mature trees on the northern and western boundaries of the site should be protected to help soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Noise reduction fencing along the railway line will be required to minimise the impact from passing trains.

Policy CRA16 - Land south of Oaklands, Cranswick (2.63ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and enhance the landscaping on the southern boundary.

5.47 The site is well related to the main body of the settlement as it is surrounded by existing housing development on 3 sides. It provides for a logical extension of existing residential development to the north and east and, subject to the retention of the existing southern hedgerow boundary,would be well screened and provide a rounding off of the village in this location. This should be enhanced to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. It site has an indicative capacity of 67 dwellings. This site was allocated for housing in the East Yorkshire Local Plan and remains suitable for development. Access to the site could be taken from Oaklands or Beech View.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 219 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

Policy CRA18 - Land to the north of 3-19 Station Road, Cranswick (1.62ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary; and

b. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer and noise reduction fencing along the western boundary.

5.48 This site is located close to the services in the centre of Hutton Cranswick and is adjacent to the train station. When developed alongside CRA14&15, it will form a continuous building line that will not extend beyond other existing dwellings in the locality. This site has an indicative capacity for 44 dwellings. The provision of additional landscaping along the northern boundary of the site will soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Noise reduction fencing along the railway line will be required to minimise the impact from passing trains.

Kilham

Settlement Context

5.50 The village of Kilham lies in the Yorkshire Wolds, approximately 5 miles north-east of Driffield and 9 miles west of Bridlington. It has largely retained its original linear form and rural character, with a Conservation Area covering the historic core along East Street, Church Street and Middle Street. At the centre of Kilham the Norman All Saints Church stands on a rise in a commanding position overlooking the rest of the village. To the eastern end, the duck pond adds to the attractiveness of the settlement. Whilst the village is predominantly residential in character, it contains a range of services and facilities for local residents including a primary school, local store, post office and public house.

5.51 Kilham is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document, with 90 new houses proposed over the plan period. No dwellings currently have planning permission, and the Plan proposes to allocate three sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports sewage treatment capacity improvements, and additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required.

What you told us...

Sites subject to flood risk should not be considered suitable for development. The school field should not be built upon. Over-development threatens the quality of the village. Any increase in residents necessitates corresponding improvements in infrastructure. Concern about the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development.

Site Allocations

5.52 The allocations in Kilham has taken account of the need to protect and enhance the unique rural character of the settlement, as well as the need to protect the quality of the surrounding landscape. Development has been directed towards areas that relate well to the existing pattern of development in the village, such as infill sites. Sites that would result in a significant extension into the open countryside, or would be within the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a) that runs through the centre of the village, have been avoided.

226 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

Housing Sites

Policy KIL3 - Land at High Farm, Middle Street (2.02ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the western boundary.

5.53 This site includes High Farm and its outbuildings, as well as the open land to the north that is bound by North Back Lane. It is adjacent to existing development on two sides and is well to the existing built form of the settlement. It has an indicative capacity of 46 dwellings. The southern part lies within the Conservation Area and any scheme must therefore have regard to its character and appearance. There may be opportunities for development to include the conversion of some of the existing buildings, which would help to maintain the character of the settlement. The mature trees to the south of the site, and along the frontage to Middle Street, will need to be retained because of their importance to the Conservation Area. Development proposals will be expected to provide additional landscaping along the western boundary of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy KIL6/13 - Land north of Whitehall Farm (0.73ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

5.54 This site is well related to the existing settlement pattern, and is surrounded by existing buildings on three sides. It has an indicative capacity of 18 dwellings, which allows for the relatively constrained shape of the site. The existing agricultural outbuildings that are located on part of the site will be removed as part of the development. Vehicular access into the site would be taken from Back Lane, with, if possible, a footpath and cycle link to Church Street.

Policy KIL7 - Roanne Nurseries and Land East of Driffield Road (0.98ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 227 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

5.55 This site is partly occupied by a dwelling and some greenhouses, and adjoins existing residential development to the north. The boundaries of the site have been drawn to maintain the existing building line to the west of Driffield Road, which will help to integrate new development into the built form of the village. It has an indicative capacity of 26 dwellings.

Middleton on the Wolds

Settlement Context

5.57 Middleton on the Wolds lies, approximately 8 miles from the towns of Market Weighton and Driffield. The A614 runs through the heart of the village and is a busy route connecting the motorway network at Howden to Bridlington and other seaside resorts. The main body of the village is relatively compact and is bounded by the wooded former railway/embankment and the substantial woodland screen to Middleton Hall. A Conservation Area has been designated and covers the southern half of the village. In part, this area of the village is dominated by St Andrews Church which stands on a rising slope to the eastern edge of the village and is a particularly significant landmark. There is also a profound contrast between the urban character of Front Street and the rural qualities of South Street. The village has a number of local services, including a primary school, post office, public house and local store, with most commercial activity being located along Front Street. There is also a bus service that enables local residents to access the more extensive range of facilities that are available in Driffield and Pocklington.

5.58 Middleton on the Wolds is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document, with 70 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (6 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate one site for residential development.

230 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

What you told us...

Need to retain high quality agricultural land. Potential to remove unsightly and run down old buildings. Development would help to sustain services and facilities. Brownfield sites within development limits should be a priority. Possible archaeological deposits associated with the Scheduled Iron Age Barrow Group to the north east of the village.

Site Allocations

5.59 Middleton on the Wolds has a relatively compact form that has been historically focused along Front Street/Church Hill Road (A614) and the junctions with Station Road and Beverley Road. The draft allocation has sought to consolidate this pattern and avoid any adverse impact on the character or appearance of the Conservation Area. The Conservation Area appraisal identifies that there is a general lack of open green space within the village, and St Andrews Church and Parklands Hall are identified as particularly prominent buildings.

Housing Sites

Policy MID4 - East of Station Road (3.44ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the existing groups of mature trees within and adjacent to the site; and

b. Locate the open space areas within the part of the site which is within flood zone 3a; and

c. Maintain and improve the role of the watercourse running though the site to reduce the risk of flooding to the site and elsewhere.

5.60 The site is allocated in the East Yorkshire Borough Wide Local Plan (June 1997) and is still considered suitable for development. It is well related to existing facilities within the village, and is largely surrounded by existing development. There are several former Ministry of Defence buildings located on the southern part of the site, which have been used for agricultural and storage purposes. Their redevelopment would create the opportunity to improve the visual appearance of the site, as well as its relationship to the adjacent Conservation Area. The site has an indicative capacity of 70 dwellings. This takes into account the areas of mature trees within

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 231 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

and adjacent to the site, which will need to be retained and integrated into the development in order to retain their visual amenity and wildlife contribution to the area.

5.61 Vehicular access into the site could be taken from Station Road, and there is potential for the existing access on to Church Hill Road to be retained as a pedestrian/cycle route only. Proposals will need to investigate the risk of contamination from the previous use of the site and, if necessary, ensure any risk is remediated.

5.62 The southwestern corner of the site is located within n area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a), therefore the public open space provided as part of the development should be located within this part of the site. This will minimise the potential risk of flooding to new dwellings. The watercourse running through the site also has a very important role in draining surface water away from the village. Development should facilitate the improvement of this watercourse, including provision for its long term maintenance following the completion and occupation of the development. These improvements should include the provision of an open water storage area at the end of the watercourse, before it enters a culvert under adjacent land. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on more detailed issues.

Rejected Sites

5.63 This section lists those potential sites in Middleton on the Wolds that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site MID1

Development on this site would result in a significant extension of the built form of the settlement out into open land. Part of the site is also in proximity to the sewage treatment works, which would detract from residential amenity.

Rejected Site MID2

Site is within the Conservation Area and would result in the loss of open green space. Development also has potential to harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. It may also be difficult to develop as the land form is affected by the former quarry workings.

232 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

Rejected Site MID3

Site is identified as an important open space within the Conservation Area appraisal, and development would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. It is also located at an important entrance to village.

Rejected Site MID4r

Site includes significant tree cover and parts will be required for flood alleviation works.

Rejected Site MID5

Site is poorly related to the main body of the village and would result in the loss of of an existing employment premises/use.

Rejected Site MID6

Development on this site has potential to harm the setting of Parklands Hall, which is identified as being of importance in the Conservation Area appraisal. It would also result in a significant intrusion into open countryside.

Wetwang

Settlement Context

5.64 The village of Wetwang is approximately 6 miles to the west of Driffield, and to the south of the Yorkshire Wolds. It has a rectilinearform that is established by the traditional arrangement of a main street with back lanes to the north and the south. On the northern side of the village, Northfield Road forms the ridge of a steep slope which gives extensive views across open countryside. Main Street is the focus of the

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 233 5 Driffield & Wolds sub area

Conservation Area, and the historic core of the village surrounds the Mere, St Nicholas Church and various large manor houses. A range of services are located along Main Street and Southfield Road, including a Primary School, GP Surgery, Village Hall and two public houses. Driffield offers a much wider range of facilities and employment opportunities for local residents, as well as bus and rail services to Scarborough, Bridlington, Beverley and Hull.

5.65 Wetwang is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document, with 70 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (4 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate two sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required.

What you told us...

Preference for development to take place on infill or brownfield sites that have a good relationship to the existing village. Concern that the sites are too big. General concern over any more development in the village due to the potential loss of farmland and limited sewerage treatment capacity, jobs and public transport. Opposition to building on high quality agricultural land or on sites what would impact on views of the Wolds. Sites to the south of the village are better related to the Primary School and enable children to access the school without crossing the A166. Sites with access on to Beverley Road would reduced the amount of traffic in the centre of the village.

Site Allocations

5.66 The setting of Wetwang is dominated by the Yorkshire Wolds,and in particular the views north of the steep sided dry dales. Northfield Road clearly defines the urban edge on this side of the village and a further extension of the village to the north would intrude into a sensitive area of open countryside. Whilst Southfield Road largely defines the southern edge of Wetwang, housing estates have extended the village further to the south and form a less uniform urban edge. The draft allocations have been directed to sites within the existing built up area of the village, or ares where there is an opportunity for development to be integrated into the character and form of the settlement.

234 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

Housing Sites

Policy WET5 - Glebe Farm, Main Street (0.22ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Include for the retention of the main dwelling on the Main Street frontage and the large sycamore tree on the Northfield Road frontage.

5.67 The site currently forms a complex of farm buildings that can be accessed from both Main Street and Northfield Road, and has an indicative capacity of 7 dwellings. It is located within the Conservation Area for Wetwang and offers an opportunity to improve the appearance of this part of the village. A sensitive redevelopment will be required on this site, which should aim to retain those buildings that currently make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The retention of the large sycamore tree, which is an important feature in the north western corner of the site, will also help to integrate the development into the surrounding landscape.

Policy WET6/7 - Southfield Farm and Land to the South (2.57ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary.

5.68 The site comprises an existing farm house and buildings, which are within the Wetwang Conservation Area, as well as a number of silos and part of the field that extends to the south. It adjoins existing housing development along the northern and western boundaries, and development would create a southern extension to the built form of this part of Wetwang. Whilst the existing silos are located outside of the Conservation Area for Wetwang, their removal presents a significant opportunity to improve the setting of the Conservation Area and views of this part of the village. Vehicular accessed could be taken from both Southfield Well Balk and Beverley Road (B1248), which would reinforce the existing pattern of the village, with a pedestrian access onto Pulham Lane. Landscaping will be required to the southern boundary of the site to help soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The site has an indicative capacity of 66 dwellings.

Primary Villages

Nafferton

Settlement Context

5.70 Nafferton is a picturesque village situated at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, approximately two miles north east of Driffield. It extends north to south between the A614 and the Hull-Scarborough railway line. North Street, High Street, Middle Street and Priestgate form a central spine through the village, with development on either side. The settlement has a range of services and facilities, including a post office, a petrol station, four public houses, a citizen link and a village hall. There are also frequent bus services to Scarborough, Bridlington and Hull which provide the residents of Nafferton with access to a wider range of services, facilities and employment opportunities.

5.71 An extensive part of the village is designated as a Conservation Area, and within this there are many 18th Century Houses bearing date stones. It also includes the 11th Century All Saints Church, which commands a prominent position on elevated land and provides a focal point for the village. This church overlooks the freshwater Mere, which was once a millpond that supplied water power to several water mills which were situated on its southeast bank. These mills and maltings have since been demolished, and much of the land has been redeveloped.

5.72 Nafferton is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 80 new houses are proposed for the village over the period 2028/29. Taking into account the number of new dwellings that already have planning permission (46 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate two sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports sewage treatment capacity improvements, drainage and flood alleviation schemes, and additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required.

What you told us...

The drainage issues in the village need to be dealt with if development is to take place. Support the proposal to retain open areas between Nafferton and Driffield.

Site Allocations

5.73 Allocations have sought to focus development on those sites that relate well to the built form of the village, and can be integrated into the village without having a significant impact on the surrounding landscape.

Housing Sites

Policy NAF5 - Land south of Westend Falls (1.29ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the landscaping on the southern, western and eastern boundaries; and

b. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed.

5.74 This site, which has an indicative capacity of 35 dwellings, has existing housing development on two sides and will round of the built form in this part of Nafferton. The site has existing landscaping along its southern, western and eastern boundaries which screen the site and will help to soften the impact of development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape, and so will need to be retained. The location of the site to the south of the village, in close proximity to the waste water treatment works may allow for a direct connection to the works, which would help to ensure that development does not increase pressure on the village's drainage system. Proposals will need to ensure that groundwater emergence issues will not pose a risk to new development or increase flood risk elsewhere, by providing appropriate drainage infrastructure. The site will be accessed from Westend Falls.

Policy NAF12 - Land north of Grinsdale Rise (0.6ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide additional landscaping to the eastern boundary; and

b. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed.

5.75 This site has an indicative capacity of 12 dwellings and is currently in use as a farmyard with associated outbuildings, which would be removed and redeveloped. It has existing residential development on three sides and presents an opportunity for infill development. This would relate well to the built character of Nafferton and have limited impact on the surrounding landscape. The western part of the site lies within the Conservation Area and any detailed scheme must have regard to its

238 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Driffield & Wolds sub area 5

character and appearance. Additional landscaping will be required along the eastern boundary in order to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Proposals will be required to reduce surface water run off compared to the current rates, which will help to reduce the pressure on the drainage system in the village. Access from the site would be taken from Grinsdale Rise.

Key Employment Sites

Settlement Context

6.1 Capitol Park is located to the west of Goole, adjacent to the Rawcliffe Road Industrial Estate. It benefits from excellent multi-modal links, due to its position next to the M62 and in close proximity to the Port of Goole and the rail network. It is also within walking and cycling distance of much of Goole. The first phase of the spine road that will run through the site and provide a direct link between the M62 and the port complex was completed in 2003, and has enhanced the access from the site onto the M62. A rail freight spur has also been constructed, which has the capacity to serve the whole of the site.

6.2 In the last 10 years Capitol Park has been able to attract significant inward investment opportunities, and is now home to a substantial manufacturing facility, a significant regional distribution centre and a bio-fuel plant. The multi-modal links that Capitol Park offers, combined with its proximity to a significant potential workforce and the large plot sizes available for new and expanding businesses, means that it present excellent opportunities for employment development.

6.3 Capitol Park is identified in the Strategy Document as a Key Employment Site. The Employment Land Review recognised the potential of Capitol Park and recommended that it should be retained as an employment land allocation. In total 62ha is identified as a employment land allocation, all of which currently benefits from outline planning permission for this use.

What you told us...

Land within Capitol Park should be developed before any additional land is allocated. Development of the land to the west of Capitol Park could support the regeneration of Goole and provide additional employment opportunities.

Development on the site must be accompanied by the completion of the partially constructed spine road which will create a direct link through the site between Junction 36 of the M62 and Andersen Road in Goole. This road also currently benefits from planning permission, and the completion of this route prior to new development becoming occupied on this site will be necessary to ensure that there is adequate, safe and sustainable access between the site, the main highway network, the port and the rest of Goole.

6.5 The majority of development on this site must be within the B2 and B8 use classes, which most effectively take advantage of the strategic position of this site, its direct connections to the motorway and rail and the large plot sizes that this site has and so maximise the potential it offers to support the growth of the East Riding economy. B1(a) uses, and the ancillary hotel and retail uses proposed by the permitted scheme, are classified in National Planning Policy as 'town centre uses'. These must be limited to ensure they do not undermine the role of this site as a Key Employment Site and do not adversely impact on the viability and vitality of surrounding town centres. Any revised proposals which include premises for town centre uses will need to have regard to the requirements of Policy EC4 of the Strategy Document and National Planning Policy.

244 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

6.6 Development on this site is likely to result in the loss of trees, including some which are protected by Tree Preservation Orders. In order to mitigate against this potentially significant loss, comprehensive landscaping which includes substantial tree planting, will be required to be incorporated into the development. This will also help to integrate the development into the surrounding landscape.

6.7 The Oakhill Country Park, which is situated adjacent to the southern boundary of this site, is an important asset for the area, and offers opportunities for countryside recreation to employees, visitors and local residents. Public access through Capitol Park to the Oakhill Countryside Park must be provided as part of the development of the site, in order to ensure that it is widely accessible for employees, visitors and residents alike.

6.8 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. The site is exceptionally flat and there are high groundwater levels. Therefore,the SuDS systems proposed will need to incorporate significant detention systems to hold water on site in times of heavy rainfall in order to restrict run-off. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Rejected Sites

6.9 This section lists those potential sites at Capitol Park that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site GOO26

Employment Land Review identifies that additional land is not required to meet the level of demand likely to arise over the plan period. Development on this site would result in a significant extension of the built form into the open countryside, and is less demonstrably deliverable than the remaining land at Capitol Park.

Principal Towns

Goole

Settlement Context

6.10 Goole is located in the west of the East Riding, where the River Don meets the River Ouse. It is one of the largest towns in the East Riding, and is also home to England's most inland port which is some 45 miles from the North Sea. The development of the docks and the presence of the Hull to Doncaster railway line have had an important role in shaping the layout of the town, and its rich industrial history has left a unique built heritage. The centre of the town, surrounding the distinctive Clock Tower roundabout has been designated as a Conservation Area, and the skyline provides a good indication of the towns industrial past, with prominent landscape features including the docks, cranes and the 'Salt and Pepper Pot' water towers.

6.11 Goole has a range of services, facilities and employment opportunities. In particular, Boothferry Road forms the heart of the town's shopping area, and is complemented by more recent retail development around Wesley Square. The position of the town next to the M62, just 3 miles east of the M18, along the Hull-Donaster railway line and next to the Aire and Calder Navigation, also means that it has excellent multi-modal transport links offering significant opportunities for businesses. Substantial industrial developments have taken place in recent years at Captiol Park on the western edge of the town, which have complemented the existing industrial areas at Glews Hollow and Rawcliffe Road.

6.12 The Oakhill Country Park which lies to the west of the town is an important asset for the area, providing opportunities for countryside recreation to residents and visitors alike. The stretch of the River Ouse winding around the town and leading to the Humber Estuary is also an important biodiversity asset,designated as important at both a European and National Level. The town is highly vulnerable to flooding due to the flat nature of the surrounding landscape and its position next to the River Ouse, though a series of flood defences have been constructed to minimise this risk.

Goole is identified as a Principal Town in the Strategy Document and 1900 new houses are proposed for the town over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (333 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate eight sites for residential development. The Employment Land Review identifies that there is a need for land for employment development to be provided, and a further two sites have been identified as

246 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

draft employment allocations, one of which (Capitol Park) is identified as a Key Employment Site. In addition, the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study identifies that there is capacity for 4,300m2 to 8,500m2 of new retail floorspace in the town, which will be met by one allocated site and the re-use of vacant units. The Strategy Document supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes, completion of the Capitol Park link road, M62 Junction 36 improvements, Old Goole River Berth, improved facilities and railway freight capacity at the port of Goole, additional secondary school pupil capacity and additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required.

What you told us...

Development should be planned to minimise the risk of flooding. Concerns were expressed about the impact of new development on drainage in the town. Support for sites close to the motorway and for locating employment uses to the south of the town. The regeneration and development of Old Goole should be considered. Future development should not lead to Hook being linked to Goole. The biodiversity designations afforded to the Humber Estuary should be considered, including the importance of sites for SPA birds.

Site Allocations

6.13 The potential risk of flooding in Goole has been a very important factor in determining the sites that are most suitable for development. Therefore, allocations have been directed to areas of relatively lower flood risk, and have avoided areas where there would be a significant risk if the flood defences were breached. The Strategy Document identifies that the key area of growth in Goole will be to the west of the town, north of Rawcliffe Road, largely in recognition of the flood risk constraints facing other areas the town.

6.14 New allocations have been avoided in the north east of the town, where they would contribute to the coalescence of Goole and Hook village. There are also a number of sites of biodiversity and geological interest around Goole, including the Humber Estuary and the Broompark and Mayfield Local Nature Reserves. Draft allocations have not been made where they could adversely impact on these sites. Policy A4 of the Strategy Document restricts housing allocations within Goole from coming forward until the results from detailed hydraulic modelling of the town have become available and the recommended drainage solutions implemented.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 247 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

Housing Sites

Policy GOO1/2 - North of Rawcliffe Road (39.71ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the north western edge of the site adjacent to the M62;

b. Make provision for a new primary school;

c. Make provision for an element of extra care accommodation within the site;

d. Provide a new principal access to the A614 and incorporate a link to Shaftesbury Avenue;

e. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

f. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

6.15 This is located to the west of Goole, which is identified as a key area of growth in the Strategy Document. It lies outside of the area that is at the greatest risk from flooding or a breach of the flood defences. It has an estimated capacity of 1042 dwellings, and will cater for the majority of the housing requirements for Goole.

6.16 The site will be expected to incorporate a new primary school, which will help to meet the requirement for additional places generated from the new development. There will need to be additional screening adjacent to the M62 boundary to mitigate the impact of this on the new development and to provide a transition between the built form and the motorway. A new access to the A614 Rawcliffe Road would create a suitable access for the allocation. In addition, a vehicular, cycle and pedestrian link to Shaftesbury Avenue may also be possible and desirable.

6.17 Goole has been identified as an area where there is a need for extra care accommodation in both the Older People's Housing Strategy and the Local Investment Plan. Therefore, proposals should include an element of extra care housing, to meet the identified need, the amount of which would be defined through the required development brief.

6.18 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

248 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

6.19 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy GOO3 - Land off Boothferry Road (5.89ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the north western edge of the site adjacent to the M62;

b. Improve the access along West Park Side;and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

6.20 This site is outside the area that is at greatest risk from flooding or a breach of the flood defences. It is located to the west the town, which is identified as a key area of growth in the Strategy Document. The site has an estimated capacity of 155 dwellings. The development of this site will need to incorporate a significant landscape buffer to the M62 to screen new development from the road and ensure residential amenity. Highway improvements to West Park Side, including its widening and some realignment of a junction, will also be required to provide a satisfactory access into the site.

6.21 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy GOO4/5 - Land West of Goole and District Hospital (5.62ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and western boundaries; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

6.22 This site is outside the area that is at greatest risk from flooding or a breach of the flood defences. It is relatively well related to the existing built form of the settlement and the services and facilities of the town centre, and is surrounded by existing development on two sides. It has an indicative capacity of 148 dwellings. Additional landscaping will be required along the northern and western boundaries of the site

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 249 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Access will be taken via the existing road network via Ferndale Grove, Woodfield Road and Cobbler Hill onto Western Road.

6.23 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy GOO6 - Land North of Westbourne Grove (0.83ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and western boundaries.

6.24 This site is outside the area that is at greatest risk from flooding or a breach of the flood defences. It is relatively well related to the existing built form of the settlement and the services and facilities of the town centre, and is surrounded by existing development on two sides. It has an indicative capacity of 26 dwellings. Additional landscaping will be required along the exposed northern. A suitable landscaping scheme to provide a soft edge to the exposed northern and western boundaries to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy GOO17 - Hilda Street (0.34ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

6.25 This previously developed site is currently partially occupied by a parking ans storage area associated with the adjacent carpet and bed centre. It is situated outside of the area that is at greatest risk from flooding or a breach of the flood defences, is surrounded by development on all sides and is located close to the town centre. It provides a opportunity for infill development, and has an indicative capacity of 12 dwellings.

Policy GOO20 - Land at Field House Farm, Swinefleet Road (1.71ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

250 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

6.26 This site is currently partly occupied by former farm buildings. The site is relatively close to the town centre, and adjoins existing residential development on three sides. It is located outside the area that is at greatest risk from flooding or a breach of the flood defences. Vehicular access would be likely to be taken from Hazel Grove. The site has an indicative capacity of 50 dwellings.

Policy GOO22 - Land South of Manor Road (5.57ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

6.27 This site is surrounded by existing residential development and allotment land on three sides, and could be developed with minimal intrusion into the countryside. It has an indicative capacity of 165 dwellings. The western edge of the site is at higher risk of flooding or from a breach of the flood defences than the rest of the site, and so the the outdoor play and amenity space that will be required as part of the development could be located in this area.

6.28 Due to the large size of the allocations, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy GOO25/27 - Goole Depot, Dunhill Road (3.06ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for the relocation of the existing non-residential uses within the site prior to any new development taking place.

6.29 This site comprises vacant land and a depot and has an indicative capacity of 91 dwellings. It is within the built up area of the town and is very well located in in relation to the town centre. The development of the site is dependent upon the relocation of the existing uses within the site to a more suitable location, as these would have a significantly detrimental impact on the amenity of new residential development. Relocation of these uses would also improve the amenity for existing residents in the vicinity of the site. The potential risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 251 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

Employment Sites

6.30 See the Capitol Park Key Employment Site section of this document for employment site GOO39.

Policy GOO24 - Land at Glews Hollow (1.91ha)

This site is allocated for employment use.

This site is the remaining undeveloped area within the Glews Hollow Business Enterprise Park. It is most likely to be suitable for employment uses in the B2 or B8 Use Classes, which would complement the existing business premises. Due to the former use of this side as railways sidings, it will be necessary for any potential for land contamination to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Retail Sites

Policy GOO18 - Mariners Street (1.10ha)

This site is allocated for retail use.

6.31 This site is located within the town centre boundary for Goole and and comprises a depot on Mariners Street and single storey retail units at the junction with Boothferry Road. It would provide for the identified need for new retail floorspace within Goole, as set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document. Redevelopment of the site would help to create a much stronger frontage to Boothferry Road and Mariners Street and significantly improve the built environment in this area. This was also identified as a project in the Goole Renaissance Plan (May 2010) and identifies the opportunity for this site to provide new retail floorspace.

Towns

Howden

Settlement Context

6.33 Howden is a small market town which is located in the west of the East Riding, about three miles north of Goole and 17 miles south-west of York. It sits to the north of the M62 on the A614 road, and is served by the Hull to York (and London) railway. There are also frequent bus services to Goole and Hull which provide the residents of Howden with access to a wider range of services, facilities and employment opportunities. The town is dominated by its Minster, which leads to a preserved Georgian town centre with narrow cobbled streets and restored buildings. The large Conservation Area at the heart of the village also incorporates the Ashes playing fields which is bounded by the Old Derwent Drain. The A614 forms a strong southern and eastern boundary to the settlement, with only sporadic farmsteads and individual properties lying on the other side of this road.

6.34 A number of services and facilities are located in Howden, including a supermarket, a post office, several public houses, a library and a town hall. Due to the attractive nature of the town, and its excellent transport links, Howden is a popular place to live. It is also an attractive location for businesses, and in the last ten years there has been relatively significant levels of investment in commercial and industrial activity both within the town, at the Ozone Business Park on the south western edge of the settlement, and alongside the River Ouse at Howdendyke, just 1 mile south of the town. This has provided a number of employment opportunities within the local area.

6.35 Howden is identified as a Town in the Strategy Document with 800 new houses are proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (96 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate

256 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

two sites for residential development. The Employment Land Review also identified a need for employment land allocations in the town to be retained, and one site is allocated for employment development. The East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study has identified that there is capacity for 100 to 300sqm of retail floorspace in Howden, no allocations for retail use have been made as this level of need can be met by small scale development within the existing town centre. The Strategy Document supports additional primary school pupil capacity which may be required.

What you told us...

Development to the north of Howden should be supported by a bypass. Development should not occur too far to the north of Howden. A sequential approach should always be adopted to ensure sites are located in areas of lowest flood risk. Housing development should be placed close to the employment opportunities in the town.

Site Allocations

6.36 Howden is affected by flooding, particularly to the south of the settlement, and allocations have been directed to areas that are not at high risk of flooding. Allocations for residential development have also focused on sites that are close to employment opportunities and the services in the centre of Howden. Development has been directed towards areas that would round off the built form of the town, and avoided in areas where it would result in a significant intrusion into more open or prominent agricultural land.

Housing Sites

Policy HOW1/3 - Land north of Shelford Avenue (26.39ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide a road link between Selby Road and Station Road, with appropriate cycle and pedestrian facilities;

b. Provide additional landscaping to the northern and western boundaries; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 257 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

6.37 The majority of this site was allocated for residential development in the Boothferry Borough Local Plan, and the Council's Planning Committee has resolved to grant planning permission for 630 dwellings on this site subject to certain conditions being met.

6.38 A link road between Selby Road and Station Road should be provided by the development. This should be constructed to major residential access road standard along its whole length, and should include appropriate pedestrian and cycle facilities. Off site highway improvements may also be necessary to ensure improved pedestrian and cycling access between the site and the town centre.

6.39 The on site public realm and open space provided as part of the development could include a series of wetland areas which would act as a an attenuation basin, reduce flooding risk for nearby areas, provide an extra habitat for wildlife and provide a valuable amenity for local residents. Given the size of the site there is also potential for a range of other community uses to be integrated into the development, including a community garden, an orchard, play areas, a sports pitch, an allotment site and a community building relating to the use of the allotments. Additional landscaping will be required to the northern and western boundaries to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

6.40 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy HOW5 - Land west of A614 (0.72ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide substantial landscaping to the southern boundary.

6.41 This site was formerly allocated in the Boothferry Borough Local Plan and remains suitable for development. It is surrounded by existing development on all sides, and is well located in relation to the services and facilities of the town. It has an indicative capacity of 19 dwellings, and access into the site could be obtained via Springfield. Suitable screening along the southern boundary would safeguard the amenities of the proposed residents from the main road. There are a number of trees within the site and as many of these as possible should be incorporated into the development.

258 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

Policy HOW9 - Land south west of Boothgate (4.48ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary;

b. Direct public open space towards the area of the site that is within flood zone 3a; and

a. Ensure that surface water flood risks are satisfactorily investigated and addressed.

6.42 This site is close to the centre of Howden and its services and facilities, and is also well related to the employment opportunities at the Ozone Business Park. The site has an access from Boothgate, and is well screened by existing landscaping to the west and employment development to the south. The southern half of the site is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). The public open space provided as part of the development should be located in this part of the site to minimise the potential risk of flooding to new dwellings. The site has an indicative capacity of 69 dwellings, which takes this into account. Detailed proposals will also need to incorporate measures to ensure that surface water flooding in the area would not be exacerbated or that it would pose a threat to the new development. In addition, landscaping to the southern boundary will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Employment Sites

Policy HOW21 - Land at Ozone Buisness Park (8.1ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping on the northern and western boundaries; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

6.43 This site is the remaining undeveloped land within the Ozone Business Park, and the the access road to the development plots within the site has already been constructed. The site is most likely to be suitable for businesses in the B2 and B8 Use Classes, which would complement the existing developments at the business park. Additional landscaping will be required along the northern and western boundaries of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Rural Service Centres

Gilberdyke /Newport

Settlement Context

6.46 Gilberdyke and Newport are situated in the west of the East Riding, approximately 17 miles west of the City Hull and 6 miles east of Howden. They are around a mile apart, and are connected by a footpath lined with street lights. Together they provide a service centre role for much of the surrounding area, and are home to a relatively significant number of services and facilities, including two convenience stores, two post offices, seven public houses, two village halls, a GP surgery, pharmacy, and two primary schools. They both lie along the B1230 road which, prior to the M62 being constructed, was the main route from Hull to Leeds. Because of their connections to the motorway network, both villages are relatively popular with commuters working in Hull, Leeds and elsewhere, which has resulted in both settlements growing over the last 25 years. A regular bus service runs along the B1230 connecting both settlements to Goole and Hull.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 263 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

6.47 Gilberdyke has built up on either side of the B1230, though the majority of development has taken place to the south of the road. Most of the village's services and facilities are located on Scalby Lane. The village has a rail station which connects it to both the Hull to Sheffield line and the Hull to York line. Beyond the railway and south of the village is a successful local industrial estate, which is home to a wide variety of businesses.

6.48 Newport, which is smaller than Gilberdyke, has also developed beside the B1230, predominantly to the north of the road. Much of the village’s character comes from the presence of many ponds which are interspersed between small housing developments. Market Weighton Canal runs north to south through the village, and crosses under the B1230. To the east of the settlement, close to the junction 38 of the M62, there are a number of businesses operating from small business parks, many of which are involved in agriculture and horticulture.

6.49 Gilberdyke and Newport have been combined together and identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document and 170 new houses are proposed for the villages over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the existing planning permissions (78 dwellings), two sites have been allocated for housing development. The Strategy Document also supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes, and additional primary school pupil capacity in Gilberdyke, which may be required.

What you told us...

Development should not take place in high flood risk areas. Concern about the impact that new development may have on drainage systems, and the impact of losing green fields which store water. Development should not increase traffic through Gilberdyke village centre. Need to avoid allocating sites that would have a negative impact on surrounding land which is important for nature conservation.

264 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

Site Allocations

6.50 Much of the area in and around both Gilberdyke and Newport is identified as being at risk of flooding, which significantly limits the opportunities for development. To ensure the risk of flooding is minimised, the allocations have focused on the sites that are located are outside of the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Policy A4 of the Strategy Document restricts these housing allocations from coming forward until a scheme to improve watercourses and pumping capacity serving Gilberdyke has been brought forward by the Lower Derwent Internal Drainage Board.

Housing Sites

Policy GIL3/4 - Land North and East of Sandholme Park (3.42ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the northern boundary and additional landscaping to the eastern and southern boundaries.

6.51 This site is surrounded by existing development on three sides and relates well to the existing built form of the village. It is not located within the area of high flood risk, and has an indicative capacity of 87 dwellings. A substantial landscaped buffer will need to be provided along the northern boundary of the site to screen new development from the adjacent depot and commercial uses to ensure the amenity of future residents. Additional landscaping to the exposed eastern and southern boundaries will also be required to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The potential risk of contamination from the current use will also need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Policy GIL22 - Land East of Sandholme Road (0.7ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the southern boundary; and

b. Retain the pond and trees on the site.

6.52 This site is adjoins a depot to the south and existing residential development to the west, which means that development on this site would relate well to the existing built form of the village. It is not located within the area of high flood risk. The pond in the middle of the site should be retained as a feature of the site, and may also be

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 265 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

used as a means of managing surface water run-off. The existing trees on the site, including those subject to a tree preservation order, should be retained wherever possible to enhance the attractiveness of the development and help it to integrate into surrounding area. The has an indicative capacity of 9 dwellings, which takes into account the presence of the existing trees and pond. A substantial landscaped buffer, which could incorporate some of the existing trees and vegetation, will also be required along the southern boundary of the site to screen new development from the adjacent depot to protect the amenity of future residents. In addition, the potential risk of contamination from possible landfill on the site will also need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Snaith

Settlement Context

6.54 Snaith is a small town located at the junction of the A1041 and the A645, between the River Aire and the River Don. It is approximately 6 miles west of Goole, and 8 miles south of Selby. The town has good bus services to both Selby and Goole and also has its own rail station, although the services which stop here are relatively infrequent. The village is has a fairly compact character with development historically focusing around its historic market place and church, although recent housing development has extended the town particularly to the south west. The compact town centre has been designated as a Conservation Area due to its well preserved and attractive built environment. The settlement has a relatively wide range of services and facilities for its size, which are mainly located within its town centre and include a post office, bank, citizenlink, library, newsagents, various general stores, doctors surgery, pharmacy, and both a primary and a secondary school. The relatively fertile and flat river plain area surrounding the village also supports a range of arable farming uses.

6.55 Snaith is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document and 170 new houses are proposed for the town over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the existing planning permissions (9 dwellings), two sites have been allocated for residential development.

272 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

What you told us...

The sewerage network is at capacity within the town and needs to be upgraded before further development takes place. Development must not increase the risk of flooding.

Site Allocations

6.56 The gap between Snaith and Cowick is identified in the Strategy Document as having an important role in maintaining the distinct characters of these settlements, and so development in this area has been avoided. Additionally, although much of the town sits outside of a flood zone, there are limited opportunities for the town to expand without locating new development within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Following the sequential approach to locating new development in the lowest flood risk areas available as set out in National Planning Policy, the two proposed allocations have made use of the few available areas outside of Flood Zone 3a on the edge of the town.

Housing Sites

Policy SNA3/9/10 - Land South and East of Punton Walk (7.26ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern, eastern and western boundaries;

b. Relocate the existing sports and recreation ground onto the eastern part of the site; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

6.57 Most of this site lies outside of the high risk flood zone, and the development would link in well with an existing housing estate to the north without affecting the character of the town. The site has an indicative capacity of 163 dwellings. In order to maximise the development potential of the available land at less risk of flooding, it will be necessary to relocate the existing sports and recreation ground (approximately 2.76ha). This is presently located at the end of Punton Walk, to the eastern part of this site (shown on as SNA10 on the Policies Map), and could be relocated to the area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Any additional public open space and landscaping areas provided as part of the development should also be directed towards the east of the site. Additional landscaping will also be required to the southern, eastern and western boundaries of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 273 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

6.58 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Primary Villages

Eastrington

Settlement Context

6.60 Eastrington lies in flat farmland to the north of the B1230, approximately three miles to the east of Howden. It has grown from a collection of farms and cottages, located along High Street, Vicar Lane and Queen Street, to its present form. The village has generally grown northwards from this historic centre, though some backland development has occurred off Station Road. St Michael’s Church is found at the heart of the village and is mentioned in the Doomsday survey of 1086. The village is served by Eastrington railway station, which is on the Hull to Selby line, though this is slightly detached from the main body of the village and the services which stop at this station are relatively infrequent. A number of services and facilities are located in Eastrington, including a post office, two public houses, a village shop and a village hall. There are frequent bus services to Goole and Hull which provide the residents of Eastrington with access to a wider range of services, facilities and employment opportunities.

6.61 Eastrington is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document with 80 new houses proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of new dwellings that will be brought forward through extant planning

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 275 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

permissions (4 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate two sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports drainage and flood alleviation schemes, which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Drainage infrastructure in the village needs improving if any new development is to take place. Development in the village could cause traffic congestion. The amenities of the village cannot support more development without them being upgraded New housing should cater for first time buyers.

Site Allocations

6.62 Allocations have focused on sites that relate well to the existing built form of the village, and which will have the least impact on the surrounding landscape. Policy A4 of the Strategy Document restricts housing allocations for Eastrington from coming forward until a scheme to improve watercourses and pumping capacity serving the village has been brought forward by the Lower Derwent Internal Drainage Board.

Housing Sites

Policy ETR3 - Land south of Sandholme Road (0.31ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping on the southern and eastern boundaries of the site.

6.63 This site has an indicative capacity of 9 dwellings. It adjoins existing residential development on two sides and is well related to the existing built form of the village. Additional landscaping will need to be provided on the exposed and currently undefined boundaries to the south and east of the site. This will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy ETR6 - Land south of Nanrock Close (1.03ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and western boundaries of the site.

276 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

6.64 This site has an indicative capacity of 28 dwellings. It has development on two sides and is therefore well related to the existing built form of the village. Access for the site would be taken from Nanrock Close. The scheme will need include additional landscaping to its southern and western boundaries, which will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Rejected Sites

6.65 This section lists those potential sites in Eastrington that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rejected Site ETR1

Development of this site would extend the built form of Eastrington northwards into the open countryside.

Rejected Site ETR2

Site is physically remote from the main body of the settlement. It has inadequate access and would extend out into open countryside.

Rejected Site ETR3r

Site would significantly extend the built form of Eastrington eastwards beyond the existing pattern of development to the north.

Rejected Site ETR4

Site is poorly related to the existing pattern of development and would extend the building line of Eastrington eastwards.

Rejected Site ETR5

The land submitted is of insufficient depth to allow a viable housing development.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 277 6 Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area

Rejected Site ETR7

Site is physically remote from the main body of the settlement, separated by playing fields. It would lead to an isolated form of development intruding into the open countryside.

Rejected Site ETR8

Development would extend the built form of Eastrington westwards, and would connect a currently isolated ribbon of development along Howden Road. This would have a detrimental impact on the built form character of the settlement.

Rawcliffe

Settlement Context

6.66 The village of Rawcliffe is located 4 miles to the west of Goole on the banks of the River Aire. Development in the town centres around St James Church and the attractive village green, with a further housing estate and ribbon development stretching south along Station Road. The centre of the village around the High Street, the Green and Station Road form part of a Conservation Area, which is noted to be of special interest due to the way that the layout and character of the built form reflects the changes in traffic flows through the village over time. There is a small range of services and facilities within the village, which include a general store, post office, village hall, citizenlink, primary school and two public houses. There are also regular bus services from the village to Goole and Doncaster, which have a much wider range of services, facilities and employment opportunities that help to meet the needs of the residents. Rawcliffe also has its own rail station which links it to Goole and Leeds, although the services which stop at it are relatively infrequent.

6.67 Rawcliffe is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. No specific allocations for residential development will be made based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in the village.

278 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Goole & Humberhead Levels sub area 6

What you told us...

Development that leads to the coalescence between Rawcliffe and Rawcliffe Bridge should be avoided. Development should not increase the risk of flooding in the village.

Towns

Hornsea

Settlement Context

7.1 The coastal town and seaside resort of Hornsea is located 15 miles north east of the City of Hull, approximately halfway between the Spurn Peninsula and Flamborough Head. It is set alongside the Hornsea Mere, which is the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire and is designated as a Special Protection Area and Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Mere plays an important role in defining the character of the Town which was once known as a 'Lakeland by the Sea'. The town has a number of important public spaces which add to the quality of the environment such as Hall Garth Park, its promenades and the Trans Pennine Trail.

7.2 The central area of the town, surrounding the Hall Garth Park, has been designated a Conservation Area. Its character lies in its development as a small market town of diverse, mainly 19th Century architecture. The town exhibits the usual mix of red-brown brick, slate or pan-tile roofs, as well as several examples of the use of cobble, a valued local building material. Hornsea has a good range of services and facilities, including a secondary school, various shops, banks and supermarkets, a leisure centre, a doctors surgery, a dental access centre and a small hospital. Most retail services are focused around Newbegin, the central road that runs through the town, while industrial activity is generally confined to the Hornsea Bridge Industrial Estate and to a small number of sites on Cliff Road. In the southern part of the town, the Freeport complex offers retail outlet facilities, and attracts significant numbers of people to the town.

7.3 The beach is an important feature of the town, and the Promenade and Marine Drive which run alongside the seafront in the northern part of the town have benefited from investment. Lining the coast in the south of the town, the South Promenade area is generally open in nature and is the location for the resort's boat yard.

7.4 Hornsea is identified as a Town in the Strategy Document with 750 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of plots with planning permission (66 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate nine sites for residential development. A further site has been identified for employment purposes which will

284 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

provide the opportunity for the creation and expansion of local businesses. In addition, the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study has identified that there is capacity in the town for 900m2 to 1,800m2 of new retail floorspace.

What you told us...

Desire to see sites within the seafront area developed for tourism uses or retained/ improved as amenity spaces. Concern about any potential loss of car parking spaces. Concern about the impact that development around Cheyne Garth would have on the road network.

Site Allocations

7.5 As Hornsea is bound by the North Sea to the east, and the Mere lies to the west, allocations have generally been made around the northern and southern edges of the town. Additionally, allocations have been made in the seafront area, where the Hornsea Seafront Investment Plan has identified a number of opportunities for redevelopment that would help to enhance the attractiveness and vibrancy of this part of the settlement. Sites which present opportunities for new development to integrate into the built character of the town, or which could be developed with minimal impact on the surrounding landscape have been focused on. Development has been avoided in areas where there is a high risk of flooding or coastal erosion, or on sites that are not well related to the existing pattern of development the settlement.

Housing Sites

Policy HOR4/5 - Land East of Ashcourt Drive and North of Northgate (5.52ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the the northern boundary of the site;

b. Incorporate the existing Public Right of Way that runs along the southern boundary of the site;

c. Provide for a vehicular access link through the site between Ashcourt Drive and Northgate; and

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 285 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

7.6 Development of this site would be a logical rounding off of this part of the town, and would form a clear northern boundary to the built form of the settlement. The provision of additional landscaping along the northern boundary of the site will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. It is will also help to maintain and reinforce the separation between the main body of the town and the predominantly leisure related uses which are located to the north along Cliff Road. The site has an indicative capacity of 124 dwellings.

7.7 A new link between Ashcourt Drive and Northgate will be required as part of the development, in order to improve the connections between new and existing housing. The primary access to the site would be expected to be from here although access to some of the site from Cliff Road would also be possible. The existing Public Right of Way along the to the southern boundary of the site must also be protected and incorporated into the development.

7.8 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy HOR6 - Land North of the Indoor Bowling Centre, Atwick Road (1.93ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the northern boundary and additional landscaping to the western boundary.

7.9 The site is well located in relation to the town centre and other facilities. The provision of substantial landscaped buffer will be required along the northern boundary of the site to help screen the development from the employment allocation to the north. Additional landscaping should also be provided along the western boundary of the site to help soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. This will also provide the added benefit of screening more recent development to the east of this site from the approach into the town. The site has an indicative capacity of 52 dwellings.

Policy HOR9 - Marine Drive/Constable Road (0.29ha)

This site is allocated for mixed uses including housing development and car parking. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate at least the existing amount of public car parking spaces within the site or make provision for the relocation of these elsewhere within the town.

286 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

7.10 This site is presently partly in use as a car park, and its redevelopment will help to support the delivery of the Hornsea Seafront Investment Plan. In order to maximise the opportunity it presents to contribute to the attractiveness of the Northern Promenade, residential development should be located on the eastern part of the site and face onto Marine Drive. The existing car parking should be relocated to the west of the site, in accordance with the proposals set out in the Investment Plan. The public car parking area should retain at least the the same number of spaces as the existing car park (30), unless these are replaced elsewhere in the town or a comprehensive study of parking provision across Hornsea demonstrates that these spaces are no longer required. The site has been given a capacity of 9 dwellings, which is based on the site area and an average density figure. However, due to the location of this site next to the town centre and its amenities, proposals for higher density housing may be suitable here.

Policy HOR10 - Land North West of Parva Road (0.82ha)

This site is allocated for mixed uses including housing development and car parking. Proposals will be required to:

a. Take place after the re-location of the police station and resource centre has been secured elsewhere within the town; and

b. Incorporate at least the existing amount of public car parking spaces within the site or make provision for the relocation of these elsewhere within the town.

7.11 The Hornsea Seafront Investment Plan identifies that land either side of Parva Road has the potential to play an important role in developing the character of the seafront area of Hornsea. This site, which is located on the north western side of Parva Road currently comprises a car park, amenity land, a police station and a resource centre. Proposals to redevelop the site will only be supported once the the re-location of the police station and resource centre has been secured.

7.12 The site has been given a notional capacity of 22 dwellings which is based on the site area and an average density figure, although a higher density may be appropriate on this town centre site. Public car parking is important to the town, as it helps to support its role as a visitor destination service centre for surrounding smaller settlements. As a result, it will be important to ensure that there is no net loss of public parking spaces as a result of any redevelopment. It is required, therefore, that at least the same number of spaces (97) as are in the existing car park should be retained as part of the development on this site, unless these are replaced elsewhere in the town or a comprehensive study of parking provision across Hornsea demonstrates that these spaces are no longer required.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 287 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

Policy HOR11 - Land South West of Parva Road (0.22ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

7.13 The site is identified in the Hornsea Seafront Investment Plan as part of wider improvements to this part of the town. The removal of a former amusement arcade provides an opportunity to link in with the recently erected apartment building on the south east corner of this triangular island site. The site has been given an indicative capacity to accommodate 7 dwellings, based on the site area and an average density figure, although higher density schemes may well be suitable here due to the town centre location.

Policy HOR12 - Land South of Sands Lane (1.25ha)

This site is allocated for mixed uses including housing development, tourism/leisure use and car parking. Proposals will be required to:

a. Divert the upper part of South Promenade to create a traffic free area and to extend the promenade to connect with the country park to the south of the site;

b. Incorporate at least the existing amount of public car parking spaces within the site or make provision for the relocation of these elsewhere within the town.

7.14 This site comprises mostly previously developed land which is in a prominent position close the the seafront, but is currently under-utilised. Development of the site will play an important role in improving the character of this part of the town, and would contribute to the wider ambitions of the Hornsea Seafront Investment Plan. The development of the site is expected to be largely residential (and an indicative capacity of 34 dwellings has been estimated based on the site area and an average density figure, although a higher density may also be appropriate). The provision of small scale retail, hotel and/or leisure uses alongside these uses is also supported. Proposals will need to include the re-routing of the part of the South Promenade,which currently runs adjacent to the site's eastern boundary, through the redeveloped site, to improve pedestrian access from the north of the site into the proposed country park to the south.

7.15 The existing car park could be re-designed and integrated into new development on site or, alternatively, the car park could be re-located on land to the immediate south of the site. This will need to be addressed as part of any detailed scheme for this site. In both circumstances, the existing number of spaces (98) should be retained unless a comprehensive study of parking provision in the town demonstrates that these spaces are no longer required.

288 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

Policy HOR17 - Land South of Hornsea Burton Road (7.78ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for the improvement to Hornsea Burton Road along the frontage of the site;

b. Incorporate pedestrian and cycle links to adjacent developments;

c. Locate the majority of the open space requirements to the eastern edge of the site; and

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

7.16 This site is surrounded by existing residential development to the west and north, and an extensive caravan park to the east, and so relates well to the existing built form of the town. It forms part of a site that was allocated in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan, and has an indicative capacity of 175 dwellings. The coastline to the east of this site is subject to coastal erosion, and the site boundaries have been to take into account the latest projections for coastal erosion in this area. In addition, to provide an additional buffer to the projected erosion line, it is expected that the areas for outdoor play and amenity space that will be required as part of the developed will be located on the eastern and southern edges of the site. Hornsea Burton Road will need to be improved and widened along the frontage as part of the development of this site, and pedestrian and cycle links through will also need to be provided through the site to the existing developments to help to integrate the development into the surrounding area.

7.17 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy HOR18 - Land East of Rolston Road, South of Tansley Lane (8.86ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping on the south eastern and eastern boundaries; and b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

7.18 This site is bounded by existing residential development to the north and west, and is located in the gap between Tansley Lane and the residential properties that extend southwards along Rolston Road. The site is allocated for housing in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan and is still considered to be suitable for this purpose. To

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 289 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

minimise the impact of development on the landscape, additional planting will be required on the south eastern and eastern boundaries of the site. This will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. It It will also provide the added benefit of screening the urban edge of the recent development from the southern approach to the town. The site has and estimated capacity of 199 dwellings.

7.19 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy HOR23 - Former Seaside School, Hull Road (3.23ha)

This site is allocated for a mixed use including a nursing home and housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Include a nursing home and extra care units within the site;

b. Incorporate pedestrian and cycle access to the Hornsea Rail Trail Public Right of Way; and

c. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern boundary.

7.20 This site was formerly occupied by a residential school, and adjoins existing residential development along its northern boundary. The development of the site will enable a logical rounding off of this part of the town and make effective use of previously developed land. The site has an estimated capacity of 66 dwellings, which takes into account that part of the site will be developed as a nursing home, which is expected to include an element of specialist dementia care. It is also expected that extra care units will also be provided as part of the development on this site.

7.21 The Hornsea Rail Trail Public Right of Way runs along the former railway line that forms the eastern boundary of the site, and it is expected that development on this site provides access to this. Landscaping will also be required along the southern boundary of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

290 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

Employment Sites

Policy HOR3 - Land South and East of the Household Waste Recycling Centre, Atwick Road (2.71ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the eastern, southern and northern boundaries.

7.22 This site is located on Atwick Road, one of three key routes in and out of Hornsea. Its use for employment purposes, particularly within the B2 and B8 use classes, would be compatible with the adjacent household waste recycling centre. Substantial landscaping will be required along the eastern, southern and northern boundaries of the site to screen the employment development from neighbouring residential properties and to soften the impact of development on the approach into the town.

Retail Sites

Policy HOR30 - 53-61 Newbegin (0.29ha)

This site is allocated for retail use.

7.23 This site is located within the town centre boundary of Hornsea and was been identified as a potential retail development opportunity in the Town Centres and Retail Study. The site offers the ability to intensify the existing floorspace in order to meet the the identified need for retail floorspace within Hornsea, as set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document.

Withernsea

Settlement Context

7.25 Withernsea is situated approximately 23 miles east of the City of Hull, on the east coast of the East Riding. It is connected to Hull and Hedon by the A1033, and Burstwick by the B1362. The town has a wide range of services and facilities, including shops, community services, a primary and secondary school, college, health facilities and leisure and cultural facilities. These are mainly located along Queen Street, which is the main road running through the town. Withernsea also has bus services to Hull and Hornsea, which provides the settlement with public transport connections to the services and facilities in these centres.

7.26 In the older part of the town, North of Hull Road along Queen Street, the street pattern forms a grid network with long terraces of early 20th century housing. The central area is characterised by higher density developments, whilst newer, lower density suburban developments have taken place to the south and west of the town centre. There is also a small industrial estate located on Hull Road which provides some local employment opportunities. The beach is an important feature of the town, and the Promenade which runs alongside the seafront in the central part of the town have benefited from investment which has improved its appearance.

7.27 Withernsea is identified as a Town in the Strategy Document and 550 new houses are proposed for the town over the period to 2028/29. Taking in to account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (295 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate two sites for residential development. The East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study has also identified that there is capacity for 1,100m2 to 1,200m2 of new retail floorspace in the town, which will be met by one retail allocation. Additionally, although the Employment Land Review did not identify a specific need to employment land to be allocated in the town, the Withernsea Renaissance Plan has identified that there is demand for employment workspace in the town. The allocation of land for employment development will

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 295 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

also demonstrate support for businesses locating in the town, and help to achieve the regeneration objectives, and so two sites have been identified. The Strategy Document supports transport infrastructure improvements which reduce the effects of peripherality and reduce reliance on the private car, additional primary school pupil capacity, and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required in the area over the plan period.

What you told us...

A sequential approach should always be adopted to ensure sites are located in areas of lowest flood risk. The impact of development on the schools and infrastructure should be taken in to consideration. Sites that are situated close to the sea and outside the protection of the sea wall should not be developed. Withernsea needs sites for executive housing. The industrial land in Withernsea should be safeguarded and expanded.

Site Allocations

7.28 The allocations have been located in areas that relate well to the main body of the town, and its local services and community facilities. The impact of coastal erosion and the position of Withernsea's sea defences has been a significant consideration in identifying the allocations. Key landscape important open views, and the possibility of enhancing the appearance of the edges of town, have also been considered, particularly along the main approaches into the settlement.

Housing Sites

Policy WITH1 - Land east and south of Clearview, Hull Road (4.38ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate pedestrian and cycle links onto Carrs Meadow;

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the western and southern boundaries; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

7.29 The sites adjoins existing development along the eastern boundary and has an indicative capacity of 112 dwellings. It is well related to the services and facilities of the town. Development will result in an extension to the built form, and the provision of additional landscaping will help to soften the impact of the development and

296 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

integrate it into the surrounding landscape. Vehicular access into the site should come from Hull Road though pedestrian and cycle links into Carrs Meadow, which provides a link towards the pathways along the disused railway line, will also be required. This is to maximise opportunities for residents to access the town centre by sustainable means.

7.30 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy WITH7 - Land West of Hollym Road (7.02ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the western and southern boundaries; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

7.31 The site, which has an indicative capacity of 158 dwellings, is surrounded by existing residential development to the north and east. It is well related to the services and facilities of the town. Development will result in an extension to the built form, and the provision of additional landscaping to the western and southern boundaries will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

7.32 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Employment Sites

Policy WITH4/5 - Land west of Withernsea High School (2.31ha)

This site is allocated for employment use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the eastern, western and northern boundaries.

7.33 The site is well related to existing employment uses and forms an extension to the current industrial estate. It is most likely to be suitable for business in the B2 and B8 use classes, which would complement the existing uses on the industrial estate.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 297 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

Additional landscaping will be required along the external site boundaries to help soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape, and to screen it from the neighbouring school.

Retail Sites

Policy WITH12 - Land north of Withernsea Police Station, Station Road (0.41ha)

This site is allocated for retail use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Ensure development of the site allows ease of access for pedestrians throughout and be designed to integrate well with the adjacent primary shopping area.

7.34 The site is currently used as a car park and indoor market and is located within the Town Centre boundary for Withernsea. It is identified as a development opportunity within the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study, and is well related to the Primary Shopping Area. The site would provide for the identified need for retail floorspace within Withernsea, as set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document. Therefore, it will be essential that proposals seek to support and strengthen the links to the adjacent Primary Shopping Area. This should allow for pedestrian access throughout the site, which has connections to a number of surrounding streets.

Rural Service Centres

Aldbrough

Settlement Context

7.36 Aldbrough is a relatively large village which is located alongside the B1242, approximately 7 miles south of Hornsea. The historic core of the village lies to the east of the B1242 around a small triangular green, and includes the older properties along Church Street and Cross Street which are within the Conservation Area. The Conservation Area covers much of the village and includes a unique and precious quality steeped banked areas beyond the Church along Seaside Road, which is found nowhere else in Holderness. There are a number of services and facilities within the village, including a post office, shop, a doctors surgery, primary school, village hall and two public houses. The main bus route between Hornsea and Withernsea also runs through the village, and helps to connects residents to the wider range of services and facilities in these larger centres. Agriculture remains an important source of employment locally, though many people also commute to larger employment centres such as Hornsea, Beverley and Hull.

7.37 Aldbrough is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document and 100 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (3 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate four sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports transport infrastructure improvements which reduce the effects of peripherality and reduce reliance on the private car, and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required.

What you told us...

Investment may be required in the waste water treatment works. Concern about developing sites on the approaches to the village. Need to consider the impact of development in and around the Conservation Area. Support for redeveloping of previously developed sites.

300 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

Site Allocations

7.38 Allocations have focused on sites that are well related to main body of the settlement and the existing built form. As there are limited opportunities for accommodating development within the current confines of the village, sites that are on the edge of the settlement that could be integrated into the village and the surrounding countryside through the provision of additional landscaping have been identified.

Housing Sites

Policy ALD1 - Land at Aldbrough Hall, Hornsea Road (1.57ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain the mature trees fronting Hull Road and Hornsea Road and within the site and provide for additional landscaping along these boundaries.

7.39 Aldbrough Hall and its grounds is situated in the south west corner of the village. This site is well related to the main body of the settlement and the village centre. As the site lies within the Conservation Area and proposals on this site must have regard to its character and appearance. In particular, the mature trees fronting Hull Road and Hornsea Road are noted to be an important feature on the approach to the village from the south which contribute to the character of the Conservation Area. These trees, which are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, will need to be retained as part of the development and additional landscaping should be provided. This will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding area. The site has an indicative capacity of 21 dwellings, which takes into account the need to retain the protected trees.

Policy ALD2 - Land north, west and south of the telephone exchange, Hornsea Road (1.52ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary; and

b. Include frontage development along Hornsea Road.

7.40 The site is reasonably well related to the main body of the village, and extends along the main road up to Lambwath Stream.Properties developed alongside Hornsea Road should generally face onto the road, to complement and reflect the form of development that has taken on the opposite side. As the site located on a main route

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 301 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

into the village, the vegetation forming the northern boundary of the site should be retained, and where necessary, enhanced with additional landscaping. This will help to soften the impact of the development when viewed from the higher ground on the northern approach into the village, and help to integrate it into the surrounding area. The site has an indicative capacity of 34 dwellings.

Policy ALD3 - Piggeries, North Street (0.86ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Remove the entire livestock unit as part of the comprehensive development of the site;

b. Retain and re-use the existing agricultural buildings on the North Street frontage; and

c. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary.

7.41 This site, which is currently occupied by a farm and ancillary buildings, was formerly allocated in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan. It has an indicative capacity of 23 dwellings, and remains suitable for development as part of a comprehensive scheme that involves the removal of the entire livestock unit. This removal is required is to protect the residential amenity of the proposed dwellings, but will also result in improvements to residential amenity in the wider area. The existing buildings that front onto North Street make an important contribution to the Conservation Area, and should be retained and incorporated as part of the development on this site. The other existing buildings, which are predominantly non-traditional agricultural buildings, should be removed and redeveloped. This will help to enhance the character of this part of the village. As the sites lies in a hollow, it is important that the visual impact of the site when viewed from Hornsea Road is softened by appropriate landscaping.

Policy ALD7 - Land to North of Queensmead (1.00ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain existing trees within the site wherever possible.

7.42 This site is located within the built up area of the village and could be developed without harming to the character and appearance of the area. The existing trees within the site contribute to the character of the village and should be retained to help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding

302 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

area. Vehicular access to the site must be taken from Queensmead due to the proximity of the Hull Road junction. The site has an indicative capacity of 24 dwellings, which takes into account the need to retain the existing trees.

Patrington

Settlement Context

7.44 Patrington is located 15 miles east of Hull, at the junction of the A1033 and B1445 roads. There are a small number of services and facilities in the village, including a post office, shop, a doctors surgery, primary school, village hall and public houses. The village lies on the main Withernsea to Hull bus route, which provides it with public transport connections to the services and facilities of both of these larger centres.

7.45 The village predominantly has a compact rectangular form, though ribbon development has extended north-westwards along Station Road. The width of the main road running through the village, Westgate, and its broad verges gives Patrington a a unique town-like character that is not found in other villages in Holderness. The village is dominated by the spire of the Grade I listed St Patrick’s Church which can be seen from miles around in all directions. The special character of the Conservation Area, which covers much of the village, lies in its historic role as a small market town and in its historic core. Several of the buildings in the village are also of greater scale than those encountered in other villages in Holderness.

7.46 Patrington is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document. Over the Plan Period to 2028/29, 140 new houses are proposed for the village. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (12 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate three sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports transport infrastructure improvements which reduce the effects of peripherality and reduce reliance on the private car which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Some support for development to support local shops and services. Support for sites which would not overwhelm the village's character. Support for sites in the northern part of the village which were identified in the existing Local Plan. Need to consider the impact of development in and around the Conservation Area. Concern regarding access to some of the potential sites on the east of the village.

304 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

Site Allocations

7.47 Allocations have focused on sites that relate well to the built form of the village, and which would enable the rounding off of the village boundaries. This will help to integrate new development into the village. Development has been avoided in areas that would result in significant intrusion into the surrounding open countryside.

Housing Sites

Policy PAT1 - Highfield Farm, Ings Lane (0.68ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and eastern boundaries of the site.

7.48 This site is currently occupied by the farmstead of Highfield Farm. It is well related to the main body of the village, and redeveloping the farmstead for housing would not adversely affect the character of the area. As the site is within the Conservation Area any development scheme must have regard to its character and appearance. It has an indicative capacity of 18 dwellings. Landscaping will be required along the northern and eastern boundaries of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The potential risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Policy PAT2 - Land east of Guardians Road (2.28ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary of the site.

7.49 This site is located close to the centre of the village and is surrounded by existing development on 3 sides. It was formerly allocated in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan, and remains suitable for development. It presents an opportunity to round off the part of the village between Guardians Road and Westgate Manor, and has an indicative capacity of 58 dwellings. The natural screening along the northern boundary of the site should be enhanced with additional landscaping to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. As the site is within the Conservation Area any development scheme must have regard to its character and appearance.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 305 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

Policy PAT3 - Land to the rear of 17-69 Northside (2.10ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary of the site.

7.50 This is is located close to the centre of the village and has an indicative capacity of 54 dwellings. It was formerly allocated in the Holderness District Wide Local Plan, and remains suitable for development. The rear boundary of the site will align with the existing residential development to the west of the site, and development presents an opportunity to round off this part of the village. The north eastern part of the site forms an key gateway into Patrington, and this should be taken into account through the design and layout of the site. The existing vegetation on the northern boundary should also be retained and enhanced with additional landscaping to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. As the site is within the Conservation Area any development scheme must have regard to its character and appearance.

Primary Villages

Easington

Settlement Context

7.52 Easington is located six miles south of Withernsea on the B1445. The village centres on All Saints Church and the adjacent square, and has a small number of services and facilities including a post office, shop, primary school, village hall and public houses. Much of the village lies within a Conservation Area and the Tithe Barn, which is a Grade II* Listed Building and a Scheduled Monument, is an important landmark. The special character and appearance of the Conservation Area lies in the undisturbed dominance of the church and the adjacent square, the use of cobble as a building material and the scattering of agricultural buildings through the village. The large gas terminals to the north of the Easington are prominent features in the landscape and provide local employment opportunities. The Spurn Penninsula, a fascinating coastal feature as well as an important habitat for a variety of species, is also short distance from from the village.

7.53 Easington is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. Over the period to 2028/29, 30 new houses are proposed for the village. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (16 dwellings),the Plan proposes to allocate one site for residential development. The

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 307 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

Strategy Document also supports transport infrastructure improvements which reduce the effects of peripherality and reduce reliance on the private car, which may be required in the area.

What you told us...

Investment may be required in the waste water treatment works. Development on the southern fringes of the village may affect the Lagoons Site of Special Scientific Interest. Development in parts of the village may affect the setting of the Tithe Barn. Need to consider the impact of development in and around the Conservation Area.

Site Allocations

7.54 There are few constraints to small scale development in Easington, though coastal erosion may affect developments beyond the village to the east. The allocation has been selected because it would not extend the built up extent of the village and will integrate well into the existing built form. Other sites that would have intruded onto open land outside the built form have been rejected.

Housing Sites

Policy EAS3 - Land North and West of Easington Methodist Church, Seaside Road (0.94ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and eastern boundaries.

7.55 This site relates well to the existing built form of Easington and can accommodate the new dwellings proposed for the village. The site comprises an open gap between properties along Seaside Road and is currently used for storage and does not currently make a valuable contribution to the character of the area. Sensitive development of the site would bring improvements to this part of Easington, where this is sympathetic to the character of the adjacent Conservation Area. Additional planting to the northern and eastern boundaries will provide a softer edge to the new built form. The site has an indicative capacity of 18 dwellings.

Rejected Sites

7.56 This section lists those potential sites in Easington that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

308 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area 7

Rejected Site EAS1

Development would extend the built form westwards into the open countryside, and it is very prominent on the approach to the village.

Rejected Site EAS2

There is substantial tree cover within the site, including trees that are protected by Tree Preservation Orders. Redevelopment of the site would potentially include the demolition of a large house which contributes to the character of the village.

Rejected Site EAS3r

There is uncertainty over the deliverability of this site and it is not needed to meet the housing requirement for the village.

Rejected Site EAS4

Development would extend the built form westwards into open countryside and it is in a very prominent on the approach to the village.

Roos

Settlement Context

7.57 Roos is approximately four miles north west of Withernsea, along the B1242. The village is centred on the junction of Main Street and Pilmar Lane, and has a small number of services and facilities, including including a post office, shops, a doctors surgery, primary school,

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 309 7 Holderness & Southern Coastal sub area

meeting hall and two public houses. The main bus route between Hornsea and Withernsea serves the village, providing a connection to the wider range services and facilities in these larger centres.

7.58 There are two Conservation Areas with the village, one centred on Main Street and the other focused around Rectory Road in the southern part of the village. The former has a generally hard landscape with intricate joinery detailing on some shopfronts, whilst the latter has a more rural character with well treed green verges and properties in larger curtilages. This southern Conservation Area also includes an avenue of Yew trees leading to the churchyard which is a unique feature in Holderness. Roos is surrounded by good quality agricultural land and employment in the agricultural sector is relatively high within the village.

7.59 Roos is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document. Over the period to 2028/29, 40 new houses are proposed for the village. Taking into account the number of existing planning permissions (5 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate two sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports transport infrastructure improvements which reduce the effects of peripherality and reduce reliance on the private car, and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required.

What you told us...

Investment in the waste water treatment works may be required. Concern about the scale of housing growth required in the village. Surface water run off will need be managed as Roos suffered flooding in 2007. Need to carefully consider the impact that development may have on the Conservation Area and the setting of Roos Castle.

Site Allocations

7.60 The allocations are focused on the western edge of the village, on sites that are well related to the main body of the settlement. The large plots with numerous trees in much of the eastern and southern parts of the village have a distinctive rural character, and so development in this area has been avoided. Similarly, allocations have not been made where they would result in a significant extension of the built form out into the surrounding open countryside. Development of the identified sites in line with the policies in the Strategy Document will also help to manage surface water in the village.

Housing Sites

Policy ROO1 - Land East of Beechwood Views (0.37ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the eastern boundary.

7.61 The site has an indicative capacity of 11 dwellings, and can be accessed via Beechwood Views. The rear boundary of the site aligns the long gardens to the two dwellings the north and the existing farmstead buildings to the south, and so will have limited impact on the surrounding countryside. The provision of landscaping to the eastern boundary will also help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy ROO2 - Land East of Eastfield Estate (1.03ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries.

7.62 The site lies adjacent to residential development to the east and a farm complex to the north on Pilmar Lane, and has an indicative capacity of 28 dwellings. It is away from the Conservation Area and offers the opportunity for development to take place with limited impact on the character of of the village. The presence of the farmstead buildings to the north of Pilmar Lane, opposite this site, will balance this extension of the the village. The provision of additional landscaping on the southern and eastern boundaries will also help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape, enhancing views of the village from the eastern approach.

Towns

Market Weighton

Settlement Context

8.1 Market Weighton is a historic market town that lies adjacent to the A1079, with the high quality landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds extending to the east. It is approximately half way between Hull and York with bus services linking the town to both cities, as well as Beverley. This has resulted in high levels of people commuting out of the town for employment in these larger centres. The village of Goodmanham is located approximately one mile to the north east, and is surrounded by the Yorkshire Wolds.

8.2 The centre of the town is included within a Conservation Area, which identifies that there is a generally high standard of shop frontages, covering the Georgian, Victorian and early 20th century eras. In addition, aerial photographs of the areas to the south and west of the town reveal substantial complexes of crop-marks, relating to early settlement, burials and early field systems.

8.3 A range of community facilities are available, with commercial and retail activity focused on Market Place and High Street. Becklands Park on the western edge of the town provides the main base for local businesses and is complemented by Brookfield Business Park on the opposite side of York Road. These all provide important services and employment opportunities for residents of the town and the surrounding villages.

8.4 Market Weighton is identified as a Town in the Strategy Document, with 900 new houses proposed over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (70 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate six sites for residential development. The Employment Land Review identified a need for land to be allocated for employment development in Market Weighton, and two sites have been identified as employment allocations which will provide opportunities for the creation and expansion of local businesses. In addition, the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study has identified that there is capacity for 900m2 to 1,900m2 of new retail floorspace in the town, which could be met through the re-use of vacant units in the town centre. The Strategy Document supports drainage and flood

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 315 8 Vale of York sub area

alleviation schemes, highway improvements to the A1079 (which is likely to include improvements to the Holme Road junction), additional primary school pupil capacity, and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required.

What you told us...

Strong support for the retention of existing allotments as an important community/leisure resource. Need new employment for new residents. None of the sites are suitable for development. Potential archaeological deposits around the town, particularly to the south and west, need to be considered. Development should avoid sites that would result in the coalescence with Goodmanham. Concern expressed over the capacity of the town's infrastructure including drains, roads and schools. Sites to the north of the town will increase risk of flooding in the town and should be avoided. Good quality agricultural land, and areas at flood risk, should be avoided. Sites in the Yorkshire Wolds should be avoided.

Site Allocations

8.5 Market Weighton is located on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, which adjoins the northern and eastern boundaries of the town. This also incorporates an important open area separating Market Weighton from Goodmanham, which the Strategy Document identifies would need to be maintained. Therefore, the main areas of housing growth have been directed towards the south and west of the town. This area is also better related to existing infrastructure that serve Market Weighton.

Housing Sites

Policy MW3 - Land West of Londesborough Road (2.13ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the north and east boundaries; and

b. Facilitate an improvement to the town's public sewer in conjunction with site MW9.

316 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

8.6 The site is located to the north of Market Weighton and has an indicative capacity of 54 dwellings. There are a number of mature trees along the boundaries of the site, particularly to the south, with an established hedgerow along the northern boundary. Development of the site would result in an extension to the built form and additional landscaping will be required along the northern and eastern boundaries to provide a soft edge to the built form. This will help to minimise the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

8.7 The principal access would be taken from Londesborough Road with a secondary or emergency access required from Dawson Road. A significant upgrade of the town's sewerage system is likely to be needed to bring this and MW9 forward as these sites are highly unlikely to achieve a direct connection to the waste water treatment works. Those promoting these sites should approach Yorkshire Water as consortium to provide additional sewer capacity.

Policy MW9 - Land West of Sancton Road (1.73ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Facilitate an improvement to the town's public sewer in conjunction with site MW3; and

b. Retain the existing tree belt along the southern and western boundaries.

8.8 The site is bounded by recent housing development, St Mary's Primary School and the A1079 by-pass, and has an indicative capacity of 47 dwellings. Development would need to be accessed from St Aiden Close, with no access from Sancton Road. There is a tree belt along the southern and western boundaries of the site, which provides substantial screening from the A1079 by-pass and would need to be retained.

8.9 A significant upgrade of the town's sewer system is likely to be needed to bring this and site MW3 forward as these sites are highly unlikely to achieve a direct connection to the waste water treatment works. Those promoting these sites should approach Yorkshire Water as consortium to provide additional sewer capacity. In addition, given the archaeological interest in the settlement, proposals will need to demonstrate that appropriate investigations have been undertaken to identify and deal with any items of interest.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 317 8 Vale of York sub area

Policy MW13/14 - Land at Wicstun Way & South of Holme Road (13.49ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the A1079 bypass and adjacent employment development;

b. Provide a vehicular access to Holme Road which shall serve the majority of the site;

c. Upgrade the A1079/Holme Road junction in conjunction with site MW15/16;

d. Achieve a direct connection to the waste water treatment works to the south in conjunction with site MW15/16, or facilitate an improvement to the town's public sewer system in conjunction with other allocated sites in the town;

e. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

f. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

8.10 Located to the south of Market Weighton, the site relates well to the existing built form of the settlement and has an indicative capacity of 304 dwellings. Whilst it would extend the boundary of the town up to the A1079 by-pass, this would not create a significant intrusion in open countryside. Substantial screening would be required along the A1079 to continue the existing planted screen between the bypass and the town in order to help protect the amenity of the new dwellings. This must be undertaken as part of any initial phase of development in order to ensure that this was established by the time that part of the site was developed. A landscape buffer would also be required to the north of the site adjacent to the existing industrial development in order to help protect the amenities of the new dwellings.

8.11 The principal vehicular access to serve the site would need to be taken from Holme Road which would, in turn, require an upgrade to the junction with the A1079. This is necessary on both road safety and capacity grounds. Only a secondary access to part of the site would be permitted from Wicstun Way, and this may only serve a limited number of dwellings due to the constrained capacity of Hawling Road near its junction with Southgate. The risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. In addition, given the archaeological interest in the settlement, proposals will need to demonstrate that appropriate investigations have been undertaken to identify and deal with any items of interest.

318 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

8.12 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements. The potential to achieve a direct connection from the site to the town's waste water treatment works should be investigated. If this is not possible, a significant upgrade of the town's sewer system is likely to be needed to bring this site forward. Those promoting this site should approach Yorkshire Water, as a consortium with others where possible, to provide additional sewer capacity should this be necessary.

8.13 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy MW15/16 - Land North of Holme Road (20.61ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide a significant landscaping buffer to the A1079 bypass and adjacent employment development;

b. Upgrade the A1079/Holme Road junction in conjunction with site MW13/14;

c. Remove the existing pig unit and all associated buildings and structures;

d. Achieve a direct connection to the waste water treatment works to the south in conjunction with site MW13/14, or facilitate an improvement to the town's public sewer system in conjunction with other allocated sites in the town;

e. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems; and

f. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

8.14 Located to the eastern side of Market Weighton, the site relates well to the existing built form of the settlement and has an indicative capacity of 464 dwellings. Much of the site was formerly allocated in the East Yorkshire Borough Wide Local Plan (1997) and remains suitable for development. Whilst it would extend the boundary of the town up to the A1079 by-pass, it will not result in a significant intrusion in open countryside. A substantial landscape buffer would be required to screen the A1079 as part of any initial phase of development, and an additional landscape buffer would be required to screen the existing employment development to the north of the site. The site would be accessed from Holme Road, which would require an upgrade to the junction with the A1079. This is necessary on both safety and capacity grounds.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 319 8 Vale of York sub area

8.15 The development will result in the removal of the existing pig unit on the site, which would lead to an improvement in the residential amenities of nearby dwellings. The potential risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. In addition, given the archaeological interest in the settlement, proposals will need to demonstrate that appropriate investigations have been undertaken to identify and deal with any items of interest.

8.16 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should demonstrate that work has been undertaken to develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements. The potential to achieve a direct connection from the site to the town's waste water treatment works should be investigated. If this is not possible, a significant upgrade of the town's sewer system is likely to be needed to bring this site forward. Those promoting this site should approach Yorkshire Water, as a consortium with others where possible, to provide additional sewer capacity should this be necessary.

8.17 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Employment Sites

Policy MW1 - Land South of York Road (1.8ha)

This site is allocated for employment development.

8.18 The site is located to the east of Market Weighton and would comprise an extension to the existing employment uses along York Road. It has planning permission for development in connection with the existing Britcom International Ltd operations on York Road.

Policy MW24 - Land South of York Road (4.87ha)

This site is allocated for employment development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the eastern and western boundaries.

8.19 The site is well related to existing employment uses along York Road and forms an extension to this industrial development. It was allocated in the East Yorkshire Borough Wide Local Plan (1997) and remains suitable for development. Part of the

320 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

site has planning permission for the development of B1, B2 and B8 units, and it is likely that the remainder of the site could be developed using the same access. Additional landscaping along the eastern and western boundaries will help to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Pocklington

Settlement Context

8.21 Pocklington is located in the north east of the East Riding, approximately 13 miles east of York and 8 miles north west of Market Weighton. It is located just north of the A1079 York to Hull Road, and most of the bus services along this route divert pass through the town. It has a diverse range of local services and community facilities, including shops, banks, public houses, restaurants and an arts centre, which serve a wide rural area. A 15th century tower dominates the skyline of the town and sits at the centre of its Conservation Area where the architecture is a mix of quaint old houses and modern buildings. Although a thriving commercial community, with few exceptions, developments have succeeded in retaining its market town heritage. Several unusual street names reflect the history of the town from the Iron Age onwards. The largely hidden Pocklington Beck, a small stream that feeds into the Pocklington Canal, bisects the centre of the town.

8.22 The former RAF Airfield, which closed in 1946. The south eastern half of the disused airfield forms Pocklington Industrial Estate, which is used for light industrial uses, and Pocklington Business Park, used for commercial uses, are both sources of employment for the surrounding area. The north facing runway is now used by Pocklington Gliding Club and occasional hot air balloonists.

8.23 Pocklington is identified as a Town in the Strategy Document and 1250 new houses are proposed for the town over the period to 2028/29. Taking in to account the number of dwellings that already have planning permission (12 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate seven sites for residential development. The Employment Land Review identifies that there is a need for land for employment development to be provided, and four employment allocations have been identified. In addition, the East Riding Town Centres and Retail Study identifies that there is capacity for 1,300m2 to 2,500m2 of new retail floorspace in the town, which will be met by one allocation. The Strategy Document supports highway improvements to the A1079, sewage treatment capacity improvements, and additional secondary school pupil capacity which may be required.

324 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

What you told us...

Development should not be allowed to extend into the Yorkshire Wolds. Development should avoid areas at risk of flooding, particularly around Pocklington Beck. The majority of development should be located to the south of the town to avoid increasing traffic through the town centre. The safety of the Pocklington Gliding Club's runway should not be compromised. Concern expressed over the capacity of the town's infrastructure including sewerage, roads, schools and health services. Concern about the the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development.

Site Allocations

8.24 Allocations have focused on areas to the north and south of the town, on sites that are well related to the main body of the settlement and its services, transport links and community facilities. The landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds, which rise up from the north east of the town, is of a high quality and development that may have an adverse impact on its character has been avoided. Similarly, excessive or unnecessary extension of the built form into the open countryside, flood risk and its prevention, and the loss of valuable open amenity space, allotments or playing fields have also been deciding factors in determining the location of proposed allocations.

Housing Sites

Policy POC2 Land South of Sherbuttfields Farm, Yapham Road (11.9ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and western boundary; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

8.25 The site adjoins existing residential development along its southern boundary, and is relatively well related to the services and facilities of the town. Additional landscaping will be required along the northern and western of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. It has an indicative capacity of 269 dwellings, and access into the site would be taken from Yapham Road.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 325 8 Vale of York sub area

8.26 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy POC3 Land North of Andrews Court Yapham Road (3.4ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary.

8.27 The site adjoins existing residential development along it's southern boundary, and is relatively well related to the local services and facilities. Additional landscaping will be required to the northern boundary to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The site has an indicative capacity of 87 dwellings, and would take its primary access from Yapham Road.

Policy POC4/24 - Land North of Mile End Park (9.3ha)

This site is allocated for housing development (5ha). Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems, including provision of storage capacity to reduce the risk of flooding from Pocklington Beck to both the site and town; and

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary.

8.28 This site is allocated for residential development and is also able to provide flood alleviation works that will be of benefit to both the site and the town. Residential development should be located on the western 5ha of the site as the eastern side of the site, alongside the Pocklington Beck, is within an area of high flood risk (Flood Zone 3a). Development must incorporate features to store surface water from the site, and flood water from Pocklington Beck, before it enters the town. This will ensure that the development reduces the risk of flooding both on the site and in the rest of the town. The site has an indicative capacity of 168 dwellings, which takes into account the requirements to address flood risk. Additional landscaping will also be required to the northern boundary of the site to help soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscaping.

326 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

Policy POC8 Land East of Nine Acres, Burnby Lane (3.6ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Retain and enhance the existing tree belt that bounds the site.

8.29 The site is already enclosed by an existing tree belt along its northern, eastern and southern boundaries. This breaks the transition between the rural character of the surrounding area and the urban character of the town, and should be retained and enhanced as part of any development. The site is relatively well related to local services and facilities, and has an indicative capacity of 92 dwellings.

Policy POC12 Land West of Woodside, Burnby Lane (5.7ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries; and

b. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

8.30 This site is bounded by playing fields to the north, and The Balk to the west. It has an indicative capacity of 130 dwellings. Additional landscaping will be required to the south and east in order to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The main vehicular access into the site should be taken from The Balk. Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should demonstrate that work has been undertaken to develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

e. Prepare a comprehensive development brief for the whole site that must be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority.

8.31 This site adjoins existing residential development along it's eastern and northern boundaries and has an indicative capacity of 504 dwellings. Its development offers an opportunity to enhance the character and appearance of part of the site by the removal of derelict and run down buildings. The principal vehicular access would be from West Green and The Balk, with secondary access points incorporating pedestrian and cycle links also being provided into the existing residential developments to the north (Nicholson Close and Thurlow Avenue). Such links are important in order to maximise the opportunities for residents to access the town centre and leisure facilities on The Balk by sustainable modes of transport. Additional landscaping will be required on the western and southern boundaries to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

8.32 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

8.33 In addition, a development brief for the whole site would need to be prepared, which should include consideration of the points listed in the policy and other relevant factors. This would have to be agreed by the planning authority before planning permission may be issued or any development is commenced on any part of the site.

Policy POC18 - Former School, New Street (0.2ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Investigate the retention and conversion of the existing former school building to residential use.

328 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

8.34 This site is occupied by a former Pocklington School building, and is located just east of the town centre. It is very well related to the services and facilities of the town centre, and provides an opportunity for some limited sensitive infill development and for the residential conversion of the attractive school building. The site is located within the Pocklington Conservation Area and therefore any scheme will need to have regard to its character and appearance. The site has an indicative capacity of 6 dwellings (based on the site area and average density figures) though a higher density may be appropriate as part of a conversion scheme.

Employment Sites

Policy POC15 - Land west of Pocklington Airfield West (6.8ha)

This site is allocated for employment use. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

8.35 This site is adjacent to the existing Pocklington Industrial Estate, and provides expansion land that will support its continued development for employment uses over the period to 2028/29. The site is most likely to be suitable for businesses in the B2 and B8 use classes, which would complement the existing uses on the industrial estate.

8.36 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Policy POC19/20 - Pocklington Industrial Estate (1.8ha)

These sites are allocated for employment use.

8.37 These sites are undeveloped plots within Pocklington Industrial Estate. They are both well related to the existing employment uses and would be most suitable for development in the B2 and B8 use classes, which would complement surrounding uses on the industrial estate.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 329 8 Vale of York sub area

Policy POC21 - Land east of Pocklington Airfield Industrial Estate (11.9ha)

This site is allocated for mixed use development, including employment and retail development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Locate any non employment uses to the south of Hodsow Lane;

b. Provide for a vehicular link through to Halifax Way;

c. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern, western and southern boundaries; and

d. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

8.38 This site has planning permission for the development of business park with B1, B2 and B8 units, along with a petrol station, public house and restaurant. Employment development must be the predominant form of development across this site, with the other uses proposed being limited to the section of the site to the south of the re-aligned Hodsow Lane. This is to ensure that opportunities for new and expanding businesses seeking premises in the area are maintained. The development of this site should provide for a vehicular link to Halifax Way, in order to create a new access point into the the adjacent industrial estate. Landscaping should be provided along the external site boundaries to screen the development from the A1079 and help to integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

8.39 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Retail Sites

Policy POC22 - EYMS Bus Station, Station Road (0.23ha)

This site is allocated for retail development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Be designed to integrate well with the adjacent primary shopping area.

8.40 The site is currently used as a bus depot and is located within the Town Centre boundary for Pocklington. The site is located within the Pocklington Conservation Area and therefore any scheme will need to have regard to its character and appearance. The removal of the existing depot will provide an opportunity for

330 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

improvement in this regard. It is identified as a development opportunity within the Town Centres and Retail Study and is well related to the Primary Shopping Area. The site would provide for the identified need of retail within Pocklington, as set out in Policy S7 of the Strategy Document.

Rejected Sites

8.41 This section lists those potential sites in Pocklington that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Rural Service Centres

Bubwith

Settlement Context

8.42 Bubwith is located in the east of the East Riding, adjacent to the River Derwent. The nearest major settlements are the City of York, which is 13 miles to the north west, and Selby, which is 8 miles to the west. A bus service connects the village to the services, facilities and employment opportunities available in both of these larger centres. The nearest railway station is at Howden, which is approximately 5 miles away to the south.

8.43 The main body of the village runs alongside the A163, and is complemented by ribbon development that stretches south down Breighton Road. This gives the village a predominantly linear character. Within the village there are a range of services and facilities, which include a general store, post office, butchers, primary school, GP surgery and two pubs, and the land surrounding the village is predominantly in use for agricultural and horticultural purposes. These, along with the businesses located on

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 333 8 Vale of York sub area

the former RAF base at Breighton Airfield just south of the village, provide some employment opportunities in the local area. The River Derwent, which runs to the south east of the village, is protected at a European level as a Special Protection Area, Special Area of Conservation and a Ramsar site.

8.44 Bubwith is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document and 80 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the existing planning permissions (5 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate four sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required.

What you told us...

Concerns about the capacity of surface water drainage and sewerage network to accommodate new development. Concern about the impact that development sites could have on biodiversity of the River Derwent and the Lower Derwent Valley. Care needs to be taken to ensure that development does not have an adverse impact on affect the historic core of the settlement. Do not want ribbon development to be extended.

Site Allocations

8.45 Allocations have generally sought to complement the linear character of the village and its central historic core. The land to the west and north of the village, adjacent to the River Derwent, has an important role in supporting biodiversity and so allocations in this area have been avoided. Similarly, allocations have not been made where they would result in a significant intrusion into more open or prominent land to help maintain the built character of the village, and the character of the surrounding landscape.

Housing Sites

Policy BUB2 - Land at Highfield Poultry Farm (1.05ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Remove the poultry farm buildings on the western portion of the site; and

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and eastern boundaries.

334 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

8.46 The site is currently in use as an agricultural field and poultry farm, and has an indicative capacity of 20 dwellings. It adjoins existing residential development to the west, and is bounded by the A163 to the north. Residential development on the site will remove any adverse impacts that the existing poultry farm has on the amenity of the surrounding area, and will also maintain the linear character of the village. The risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. Additional landscaping will also be required to the southern and eastern boundaries of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy BUB3 - Land North of Highfield Road (0.39ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Take place after the poultry farm on BUB2 has ceased operation; and

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern boundary.

8.47 This site adjoins a residential dwelling to the east, and planning permission has been granted for residential development to the west. It presents an opportunity for infill development that would maintain the linear character of the village, and has an estimated capacity of 8 dwellings. Development on this site must only take place once the poultry farm on the opposite side of the A163 (which is allocated as site BUB2) has ceased operation. This is to ensure that the residential amenity of the new dwellings on this site would not be adversely affected by the presence of the poultry farm. Additional landscaping to the northern boundary of the site will be required to to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Policy BUB6 - Land to the West of Breighton Road (0.26ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Have regard to the character and setting of the adjacent Grade II listed Mulberry House.

8.48 This site is well related to the centre of the village, and benefits from direct access onto Breighton Road. It is surrounded by existing residential development on all sides and so presents an opportunity for infill development. It has an indicative

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 335 8 Vale of York sub area

capacity of 8 dwellings. Mulberry House, which is adjacent to the northern boundary of the site, is a grade II Listed Building and regard must be had to its character and setting when developing proposal for this site.

Policy BUB10 - Land South of Highfield Road (1.48ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the western, southern and eastern boundaries.

8.49 The site is currently in use as an agricultural field and haulage depot. It is surrounded by existing residential development and the A163 to the north, and has an indicative capacity of 40 dwellings. The removal of the haulage yard would enhance the character and appearance of the site and the residential amenity of the surrounding area. The risk of contamination from the current use will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place. Additional landscaping will also be required to the western, southern and eastern boundaries of the site to soften the impact of the development and integrate it into the surrounding landscape.

Rejected Sites

8.50 This section lists those potential sites in Bubwith that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

Holme on Spalding Moor

Settlement Context

8.51 Holme on Spalding Moor is relatively large village, located at the junction of the A163 and the A614. It is situated approximately 8 miles north east of Howden and 5 miles south west of Market Weighton, and is connected by bus services to both of these larger settlements. The village is relatively fragmented and covers quite a large area, with areas of built development being interspersed with open fields. The main body of the village is focused around the A163, and is complemented by a ribbon of development at Moor End. Holme on Spalding Moor has a number of services and facilities, including a village hall, primary school and various shops and public houses, which are focused principally on the High Street. Further employment opportunities are provided by Meadow Foods and the nearby Skiff Lane Industrial Estate.

8.52 Holme on Spalding Moor is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document and 170 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account existing planning permissions (22 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate six sites for residential development. The Strategy Document supports highway improvements to the A1079 (which is likely to include improvements to the Shiptonthorpe roundabout), and sewage treatment capacity improvements which may be required.

What you told us...

Development should be focused on sites close to the centre of the village. Opposition to the allotments being built on. Concern about the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development. Concerns about the ability of infrastructure (including sewers, schools and doctors) to support new development. Concern that too much development could lead to a loss of the village atmosphere.

Site Allocations

8.53 Allocations in this Plan have sought to reflect the existing pattern of development across the village, and have focused on infill opportunities that complement the existing built form and minimise the impact of development on the wider landscape character. The allocations are concentrated close to the main centre of the village, which will help maximise the potential for residents to access services and facilities

338 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

using sustainable modes of transport. The distribution of the allocations around the settlement will help to integrate new development into the village, and help to ensure that the character of the settlement is maintained.

Housing Sites

Policy HSM2 - Sands Lane Nurseries, Sands Lane (1.33ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the south western boundary; and

b. Demonstrate that the existing glasshouses on and immediately adjacent to the site have been removed prior to any housing development commencing.

8.54 This site is presently occupied by Sands Lane Nurseries, and development will be subject to the removal of all of the existing nursery operations and buildings. The site is well related to the main body of the village, and its services and facilities and its re-development for residential purposes provides an opportunity to enhance its character and appearance. It has an estimated capacity of 36 dwellings. Additional landscaping should be provided to the rear boundary of the site to help provide a soft edge to the development adjacent to the surrounding countryside. The existing glasshouses on and adjacent to the site need to be removed prior to development commencing in the interests of the residential amenity of the new dwellings and the appearance of the area.

Policy HSM4 - Land East of Chapel Garth (1.05ha)

This site is allocated for housing development.

8.55 This site is located close to the main centre of the village and is surrounded by residential development on three sides. It has an indicative capacity is 28 dwellings. The potential risk of contamination from any infilled land within the site will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Policy HSM5 - Land west of Snowdrop Garth (2.45ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Maintain and enhance the route of the Public Right of Way that runs along the eastern boundary of the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 339 8 Vale of York sub area

8.56 This site is mainly in agricultural use and is well related to the main centre of the village. It is bounded by existing development to the north, east and west and so provides an opportunity for infill development that would have limited impact on the wider landscape character. The indicative capacity of the site is 62 dwellings. Development along the northern site boundary should face onto High Street to continue the built frontage along this main route through the village. Development should also take opportunities to enhance the Public Right of Way that runs along the eastern boundary. The potential risk of contamination from the garage and vehicle workshops in the north west corner of the site will need to be appropriately investigated, and any necessary remediation carried out, before development takes place.

Policy HSM6 - Land east of Chapel Fields (1.07ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate or divert the existing Public Right of Way that runs along the eastern boundary and across the southern extent of the site.

8.57 This site is located close to the main centre of the village, and is surrounded by development on two sides. The indicative capacity of the site is 29 dwellings. Development for housing use would complement the existing pattern of development in the village, and will have minimal impact on the landscape character of the wider area. A Public Right of Way runs along the eastern boundary and crosses the site near the southern boundary; this route should be maintained and opportunities should be taken to enhance it as part of the development.

Rejected Sites

8.58 This section lists those potential sites in Holme on Spalding Moor that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each has not been selected.

Rejected Site HSM1

Rejected Site HSM22

Site is separated from the main body of the settlement by the A164 and so development would appear detached from the village, and detract from built and landscape character.

Stamford Bridge

Settlement Context

8.59 Stamford Bridge is located on the north-western edge of the East Riding, approximately 7 miles east of York. The village crosses the boundary between the East Riding and Ryedale with the northern part of the settlement, including the Mckechnie Plastics factory, lying within the Ryedale District. The position of the village alongside the A166 York to Driffield road, and its proximity to York, means that it it is a popular settlement for commuters.

8.60 The village sits at an ancient ‘ford’ crossing point over the River Derwent and the Registered Battlefield Site of Stamford Bridge lies to the south east of the town. The Conservation Area has a wealth of listed buildings which include the Corn Mill, the bridge and viaduct over the River Derwent and the old railway station. The River Derwent has a significant nature conservation value and this is recognised by the river being designated at a European Level as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and nationally as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The fields either side of the Derwent function as as floodplains, so in the last few decades new development has focused on the east and south of the settlement, away from the river.

8.61 Stamford Bridge is identified as a Rural Service Centre in the Strategy Document and 170 new houses are proposed for the village over the Plan Period to 2028/29. Taking into account the existing planning permissions (2 dwellings), the Plan proposed to allocate two sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports additional secondary school pupil capacity which may be required in the surrounding area over.

344 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

What you told us...

Sites north of the town should not be developed to protect a route for a York to Beverley railway line. Development should not take place in the floodplain. Development in the Conservation Area should respect and enhance its character. Development should not take place over the historic battlefield.

Site Allocations

8.62 Allocations have focused in the area to the south of the village, which benefits from good connections to the local services and relates well to the existing built form of the settlement. Allocations have not been made in the south east of the village, where the internationally important Historic Battlefield is located. Development alongside the River Derwent, which has significant nature conservation value and is at risk of flooding has also been avoided. Similarly, allocations are not proposed on the rising open land on the northern approaches into the village, due it its prominence and the impact the development could have on the sensitive open countryside.

Housing Sites

Policy SMB4/5 - Land south and west of Reckondales Field (1.20ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping on the southern and western edges of the site.

8.63 This site is surrounded by existing development on both sides, and development would round off this part of Stamford Bridge. The site already has existing housing development on 2 sides and so development here would fit in well with the existing built character and form of the settlement. It has an indicative capacity of 32 dwellings. Access should be taken from Reckondales Field and landscape buffers should be added to the south and west of the site to reduce its visual impact and soften the edge of the new development.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 345 8 Vale of York sub area

Policy SMB7/8 - Land west of Catton Road (6.97ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping on the southern and western sides of the site;

b. Ensure that they do not have an adverse impact on the adjacent Low Catton Local Wildlife Site; and

c. Incorporate regional sustainable drainage systems.

8.64 This site is well related to the current built form of Stamford Bridge. Development here would fit in well with the existing built character of the settlement as it has existing housing development on two sides. Proposals must ensure they protect the character, appearance and amenity of the adjacent Low Catton Local Wildlife Site. Access into the site should be taken from Low Catton Road, and landscape buffers should be included to south of the site to reduce the visual impact of the built form and to protect the River Derwent SAC and SSSI. The indicative capacity of the site is 141 dwellings, which takes into account the need for comprehensive landscaping to be provided as part of the development.

8.65 Due to the large size of the allocation, proposals should develop a regional SuDS drainage plan for the site. Advice is available from the Council's Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team on SuDS requirements.

Primary Villages

Melbourne

Settlement Context

8.67 The village of Melbourne is located to the east of the East Riding, just south of the Pocklington Canal. It is approximately 5 miles south west of Pocklington and 11 miles south east of the City of York. The village is linear in character, stretching for approximately a mile along Main Street. Development along the north side of Main Street mainly fronts onto the road, creating a strong continuous line of development that is a characteristic feature of the village. On the southern side of the Main Street, small estate development has occurred in the central part of the village which is balanced by the open gap to the east of the junction with Kidd Lane. The Pocklington Beck, which is to the north of the village, is also an important habitat for wildlife and, as part of the Lower Derwent Valley, benefits from European and National protection.

8.68 The village has a range of services and facilities including a general store, citizenlink, village hall, primary school and two pubs. Regular bus services also provide access to both Pocklington and York, enabling villagers to access to a wider range of services, facilities and employment opportunities.

8.69 Melbourne is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 30 new houses are proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the existing planning permissions (3 dwellings), the Plan proposes to allocate two sites for residential

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 349 8 Vale of York sub area

development. The Strategy Document also supports highway improvements to the A1079, and additional secondary school pupil capacity which may be required in the surrounding area.

What you told us...

Concern about the capacity of the village’s infrastructure (including schools, sewage treatment, drainage) and the nearby A1079 highway to accommodate additional development. Occupants of new housing development would rely on using the private car. Concern over the impact development might have on the River Derwent, which is a European designated habitat site. Concern that additional development in Melbourne and other settlements along the River Derwent could increase flood risk. Development should maintain the village's character, including it's linear form. Concern that the number of dwellings proposed is out of proportion with the village's size. Sites within the village should be developed before the village development limits are extended.

Site Allocations

8.70 The linear setting of the village, with development that stretches along both sides of Main Street, is a defining feature of the Melbourne and the new allocations have sought to reflect this. The landscape to the north of the village, adjacent to Pocklington Beck, is also important in helping to support the biodiversity associated with the River Derwent (a designated European biodiversity site (SPA, SAC, and Ramsar). Development in this area, and on sites that would result in significant intrusion onto more open or prominent agricultural land, have been avoided to help maintain the character of the village and the surrounding countryside.

Housing Sites

Policy MBN2 - Land North West of Rosland House (0.81ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the southern and western boundaries.

8.71 The site will round off of the western side of the village by extending development along the south side of the main road, mirroring the development that has already taken place to the north. This will maintain the linear character and form of the

350 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

village. Landscaping will be required to the southern and western boundaries of the site to soften the impact of the development and help integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The indicative capacity of the site is 22 dwellings.

Policy MBN7 - Land East of Southview (0.32ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and eastern boundaries.

8.72 The site will round off of the eastern side of the village by extending development along the north side of the main road, opposite the development that has already taken place to the south. This will maintain the linear character of the village. Addition landscaping will be required to the northern and eastern boundaries of the site to soften the impact of the development and help integrate it into the surrounding landscape. The indicative capacity of the site is 10 dwellings.

Rejected Sites

8.73 This section lists those potential sites in Melbourne that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not be considered suitable for development.

Rejected Site MBN1

Development would extend the village out into open countryside along the main entrance to village, beyond the existing built up pattern of the settlement.

Rejected Site MBN3

Development would significantly extend the built form of the village out into open countryside and behind the built frontage, which would not relate well to the existing pattern of development.

Rejected Site MBN4

Development would result in the loss of a valuable open site within the village, which provides an attractive open break in the otherwise built up frontage.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 351 8 Vale of York sub area

Rejected Site MBN5

Development would significantly extend the built form of the village out into open countryside and behind the built frontage. The site is also in close proximity to the Pocklington Beck and development may have the potential to have an adverse impact on this protected wildlife site.

Rejected Site MBN6

Development would result in a significant intrusion of built development into open countryside at entrance to village.

Rejected Site MBN8

Development would significantly extend the built form of the village out into open countryside and behind the built frontage, which would not relate well to the existing pattern of development. The site is in close proximity to the Pocklington Beck and development may have the potential to have an adverse impact on this protected wildlife site.

Rejected Site MBN9

Development would significantly extend the built form of the village out into the open countryside and behind the built frontage, which would not relate well to the existing pattern of development. The site is also in close proximity to the Pocklington Beck and development may have the potential to have an adverse impact on this protected wildlife site.

Rejected Site MBN10

Site contains a Local Wildlife Site, and is remote from the main body of the settlement in the open countryside.

Wilberfoss

Settlement context

8.74 The village of Wilberfoss is situated on the north side of the A1709, approximately 8 miles to the east of the City of York and 4 miles west of Pocklington. It is connected to Beverley, Bridlington, Driffield and York by bus. The village has a rural character, and the historic core of the village is centred around Main Street which is surrounded by more recent housing estates. The earliest houses in the village stand in Middle Street and are at least 18th-century in date. Within the village there are a limited range of services and facilities which help to meet some of the needs of the local community, including a church, community centre and public house. The nearby Principal Town of Pocklington provides a more extensive range of services and employment. The land surrounding the village is predominantly in use for agriculture and horticulture, which also provides employment opportunities in the local area.

8.75 Wilberfoss is identified as a Primary Village in the Strategy Document and 80 new houses proposed for the village over the period to 2028/29. Taking into account the number of new dwellings that already have planning permission (7 dwellings) the Plan proposes to allocate three sites for residential development. The Strategy Document also supports highway improvements to the A1079 and additional secondary school pupil capacity which may be required in the surrounding area.

What you told us...

Sites to the east of the Beck should not be considered suitable for development. Over-development threatens the quality of the village. Development should be planned to minimise the risk of flooding. Any increase in residents necessitates corresponding improvements in infrastructure. Concern about the amount of traffic and congestion associated with new development. The A1079 needs investment before any further large scale development takes place along it.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 353 8 Vale of York sub area

Site Allocations

8.76 The Foss Beck runs through the village and the land surrounding it is identified by the Environment Agency as being at risk of flooding, and so allocations have not been made in this area. The landscape to the east of the village would also be very sensitive to new development, and the rural character of Storking Land as it enters the village is important to the setting of the settlement. Draft allocations have consequently not been made on sites that would result in a significant intrusion into more open or prominent land, or which would detract from the rural and open approach into the village. Development has also been avoided on sites that are entirely best and most versatile agricultural land.

Housing Sites

Policy WIL5 - Land South of Willow Park Road (1.52ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the A1079; and

b. Demonstrate that the development proposed will not result in a net increase in vehicular movements on the A1079.

8.77 This site, which is currently used as agricultural machinery depot and is surrounded by existing housing to the north and west. The A1079 bounds the site to the south and forms a definitive edge to the village. The existing business operates from two sites in the East Riding, and the redevelopment of this site would enable it to consolidate its operations in a single location. The removal of the large depot building would also enhance the character and appearance of the site. Development would effectively 'round off' the existing built up area of the village, although a substantial landscaping buffer would be required to shield the development from the A1079 and ensure residential amenity. While allocations are not being made for employment development in Primary Villages, in accordance with the approach to employment land allocations set out in the Strategy Document, there may be an opportunity to include appropriate employment uses as part of the development of this site, which would maintain its role in providing employment opportunities within the village.

8.78 The site has an existing access on to the A1079, and while the continued use of this access is likely to be acceptable, the development must not result in a net increase in vehicular movements from the site onto the A1079. The site has an indicative capacity of 21 dwellings, which takes into account this access constraint.

354 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Vale of York sub area 8

Policy WIL6 - Land West Of 10 Stone Bridge Drive (0.87ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Provide for a substantial landscaped buffer to the southern boundary with the A1079; and

b. Retain existing trees within the site wherever possible.

8.79 This site is well related to the centre of the village, providing an infill opportunity within the existing built form of the settlement. It has an indicative capacity of 19 dwellings, which takes into account the shape of the site and the presence of trees. It is surrounded by housing development on 3 sides, and the A1079 that bounds the site to the south forms a definitive edge to the village.

8.80 To maintain residential amenity, a substantial landscaping buffer would be required to shield the development from the A1709. The trees on site should be retained and incorporated into the development proposal wherever possible. No new access would be permitted from the A1079.Vehicular access is likely to be taken from Stone Bridge Drive.

Policy WIL8 - Land North of Moorfield Lane (1.44ha)

This site is allocated for housing development. Proposals will be required to:

a. Incorporate or divert the existing Public Right of Way running through the site; and

b. Provide for additional landscaping to the northern and western boundaries.

8.81 This site is a flat parcel of land which is not currently in productive agricultural use, and forms a logical extension to the residential development that has taken place on Moorfield Way. It has an indicative capacity of 39 dwellings. Additional landscaping will be required to the northern and western boundaries to help screen the development from the open countryside and provide a soft transition from the urban to the rural environment.

Rejected Sites

8.82 This section lists those potential sites in Wilberfoss that have not been identified as draft allocations and the main reason(s) why each site has not been selected.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 355 8 Vale of York sub area
