6. Planning Application – Retention of Fence at Cobcroft Lane for Manor Grange Stud

Copy of letter supplied with application considered.

Observations – BC – Application is just for fence, Owners were asked for an application for a gate also, reason due to height alongside highway – exceed 1m.

SL – Application for fence that is already erected.

Stud invited to speak –

Stud – Not retrospective, contacted “highways planning department” – and were told that there is no planning issue – then enforcement officer (Miriam Rollason) came out and suggested putting in a planning application.

BC- I had asking Selby DC Planning Department, via email, to clarify if planning was needed.

Stud – had seen a letter signed by BC complaining about the fence.

BC – Read out his email to Miriam Rollason to prove that this statement was incorrect as it was not a letter and the email was not signed by anybody.

SL – The letter should be in the public domain if there is one.

MS – The fence is there, and probably staying, can we look at screening – trees and shrubs?

Stud – No plans to screen as yet, before fence it was an open dyke, built fence for safety.

SL – Planting, can get a grant for it, problem is it looks like “an industrial estate”

Stud – Trying to keep it clean – not in the style of Darrington Quarries – Position of fence is away from road, not on boundary, it’s on their own land.

SL – the DQL fence was done 20 years ago. Could your fence be planted against?

Stud – would make coming out of gates a hazard.

JA – Concern is about looks not the actual fence.

SL – it’s because it’s new – in 6 months it will not look out of place.

MW – Planting would be a nice gesture.

Stud – We keep and train horses that can jump – and have problems with fly tipping, abandoned cars and shooters with guns.

Stud – We have painted it green, set the fence back on our land, and yes, we can plant trees.

MS – Coming from Gale Common………

Stud – yes, that section is ours.

JA – Did it replace existing gateways.

Stud – Yes

OBSERVATIONS to planning

Not aesthetically pleasing – suggest masking by planting/vegetation.

BC – How much of fence is gate?

Stud – 2 gates, 2 of 6, 2m sections.
In keeping with the Gale Common fencing

Prop. SL, sec MW all agreed that the above is the only observation.

MS – with regard to the fly tipping, get Selby DC onto it.
