Following the Branch’s initial submission to North Yorkshire County Council in October 2015, this further representation relates specifically to the additional information submitted by the applicant, Third Energy Gas limited, in December 2015 and January 2016 in response to the County Council’s request for further information.
Having had the opportunity to consider the further information and the associated revised documents, submitted to the County Council and published for consultation on 20th January 2016, CPRE North Yorkshire feel strongly that their original objection to this application should be maintained.
The revised information does not lessen the strength of their objection and therefore the application should be refused planning permission on the following grounds:
- The proposals are contrary to both national and local planning policies;
- The level of harm that will be inflicted on the landscape of the Ryedale countryside is unacceptable;
- The impact on the economy, including agriculture and tourism, in this and the wider location is unacceptable; and
- The impact upon the residents of this part of Ryedale will be intolerable.
See the attached document below for further information and CPRE North Yorkshire’s full submission.
