This facilitates an open debate within the committee on the planning merits of the application without the need to have a proposal or amendment moved and seconded first. Councillors are reminded that at the end of the debate the Chair will ask for a proposal to be moved and seconded. Any alternative motion to this which is proposed and seconded will be considered as an amendment. Councillors who wish to propose a motion against the recommendations of the officers should ensure that they give valid planning reasons for doing so.
Minutes: The Committee considered the suspension of Council Procedure Rules 15.1 and 15.6 (a) to allow for a more effective discussion when considering planning applications.

2018/0673/OUTM - Leeds East Airport, Busk Lane, Church Fenton PDF 2 MB Additional documents:
Minutes: Application: 2018/0673/OUTM Location: Leeds East Airport, Busk Lane, Church Fenton Proposal: Hybrid application for (1) Full planning permission for the erection of a building for creative, digital and media use and associated works, including parking, servicing and access; and permanent change of use of existing buildings to commercial TV and film studios and associated services and activities; and (2) Outline planning permission, with means of access to be considered, for the development of a creative, digital and media industries employment park and film studios (including A1, A3, D1 and C1 use class buildings), open space, landscaping, car parking and ancillary works
The Principal Planning Officer presented the application which had been brought to Planning Committee as it was a departure from the Development Plan and there were material considerations which would support the recommendation for approval.
The Committee noted that it was a hybrid application for (1) Full planning permission for the erection of a building for creative, digital and media use and associated works, including parking, servicing and access; and permanent change of use of existing buildings to commercial TV and film studios and associated services and activities; and (2) Outline planning permission, with means of access to be considered, for the development of a creative, digital and media industries employment park and film studios (including A1, A3, D1 and C1 use class buildings), open space, landscaping, car parking and ancillary works.
In relation to the officer update note, the Committee acknowledged that since the agenda had been published, additional information relating to Church Fenton Yorkshire Studios’ existing use and operation, the potential for the future and specific Inward Investment opportunities and learning and skills development had been received from the applicant.
Additional letters of support had also been received from the Vice Chancellor of York St John University, the Principal and Chief Executive of Selby College, the Principal and Chief Executive of York College and business who worked in the creative industries sector and who had moved to the site from smaller premises in Tadcaster and Sherburn in Elmet.
Ulleskelf Parish Council had confirmed their support for the development but reiterated concerns relating to the lack of footpaths between the village and application site. Concerns regarding the capacity of the local road network had been considered by the Highway Authority which had concluded that the impact of the development on the highway network could be mitigated where necessary.
Paragraph 4.47 of the report considered the impact of the development on the Scheduled Ancient Monument located within the site not to be significant. Officers considered that the benefits arising from the heritage asset being sensitively handled and better understood and appreciated outweighs the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated asset. The requirements of paragraph 196 of the NPPF had therefore been satisfied.
Lastly, formatting errors in the report means that paragraphs 4.30 to 4.34 should be preceded by the heading ‘Landscape, design and visual impact’ and paragraphs 4.40 to 4.42 preceded by the heading ‘Impact ... view the full minutes text for item 61.2 |
