Cherry Lane planning application refused

At a meeting of the council’s Area Planning Committee on 20 August, an application for outline planning permission to build five detached homes on land to the south of Cherry Lane was refused.

Councillor Stephen Fenton addressed the meeting to express concerns about road safety at what is already a busy stretch of road. He asked the committee that, if they were minded to approve the application, a condition be added for speed limiting ramps to be installed to slow down traffic coming from Tadcaster Road.

As it turned out, the application was refused on a number of grounds including impact on the green corridor.

Cherry Lane housing development recommended for approval

Plans to build five detached homes on land off Cherry Lane will be discussed at a meeting of the council’s Area Planning Committee on Thursday 20 August at 4.30pm. The officer recommendation is that the application is approved. The officer report is available to view HERE.

Illustrative site layout

One of the concerns raised by objectors to the scheme is the impact on road safety, specifically the poor sight lines for vehicles exiting onto Cherry Lane. The officer report states that “details of the new junction have been agreed to ensure safety for all road users.”

We understand that this includes a speed hump on the narrow section of Cherry Lane on the approach to the entrance to the development, but disappointingly no measures are proposed on Cherry Lane on the approach to the entrance to the development coming from Tadcaster Road. The map below sets out some of the issues at hand here.
