As there has been some confusion locally regarding the number of and status of various planning applications, I would like to clarify the position.
There are four separate proposals at different stages of development:
1
Former Stillingfleet Mine site
Proposals to develop part of the site as a waste sorting centre. The planning application has been submitted by Harworth Estates. The Parish Council has made representations and worked to support local residents with their objections. A decision is expected to be made by North Yorkshire County Council planning committee on 26th February. Residents can read more or make representations at: https://onlineplanningregister.northyorks.gov.uk/register/PlanAppDisp.aspx?recno=10129
2
Former North Selby Mine site
Proposals to develop the site as a caravan park, with a mix of static caravans, touring plots and glamping pods. This planning application was submitted by Harworth Estates in January, and the Parish Council will agree its response at February's meeting. This site currently has planning permission for use as an anaerobic digestor site. Residents can read more or make representations at: http://public.selby.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=PLD7LXNX08600&activeTab=summary
3
Former brickworks waste infill site
Proposals to vary the conditions for infill and restoration of the former brickworks quarry west of the A19. Planning application was submitted by Escrick Environmental Services in January. The Parish Council will agree its response at February's meeting. This site is a former clay pit, and is in the process of being infilled and restored. Residents can read more or make representations at: https://onlineplanningregister.northyorks.gov.uk/Register/PlanAppDisp.aspx?recno=10695
4
Proposed new clay extraction west of A19
Proposals for long-term clay extraction from an area west of the A19, north and west of the business park. These proposals were first raised in the Joint Minerals and Waste Plan and then subsequent 'scoping opinion' application. No planning application has been submitted at this time. This is expected within the next few months. The Parish Council will review the application when it has been submitted.
