Erection of 1 dwelling for use as
holiday let, with associated private drainage system

The Parish Council does not object
to or support the application but wishes to make comments as below;
There is insufficient information
about the actual placing on the site. The building is large for a holiday let
along with 6 spaces for car parking.
This could impact upon the wildlife on site.

Various building and construction
works including: demolition of valve tower,
Pipework, associated access bridge

Road are not illegally parked and are still for waiting Harrogate Borough
Council to find a parking place for them.
A request has been made for a meeting
between the Parish, Highways and the police for Monday at 2pm to discuss speed
signs. The Parish is unlikely to get speed traps because we have “Speed Watch”.
NYCC is hoping to modify the current policy about the installation of traffic
