Full application for the construction of car parking with associated infrastructure at Airedale General Hospital, Skipton Road, Steeton with Eastburn - 18/03920/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that Airedale Hospital was a major employer in the area and the site comprised of land within its complex.  He stated that the site had previously been occupied by buildings for staff accommodation/offices but, following a recent site visit, he confirmed that all of these buildings had been demolished and the site was now a roughly surfaced area being used for car parking.  He stated that the application, for 314 car parking spaces specifically for hospital staff, had been submitted to alleviate pressures on car parking for staff and visitors to the hospital and that the current shortage of car parking spaces was leading to indiscriminate parking taking place on grass verges and double yellow lines in the area.  The application included electric vehicle charging points and an acceptable surface water drainage plan.  He reported that there had only been one objection to the proposal from Steeton and Eastburn Parish Council stating that the proposal was contrary to Policy SWES 9 and Objective 8 of the Steeton, Eastburn and Silsden Neighbourhood Plan in terms of the effect on parking, traffic and road safety and the noise and general disturbance to adjoining properties.  The Parish Council also made reference to details of their Neighbourhood Plan which stated that they wanted parking charges to be abolished at Airedale General Hospital and resident only parking to be introduced in Steeton with Eastburn.  The Parish Council had requested that the application be determined by the Area Planning Panel.  With regard to the concerns raised by the Parish Council, he stated that he did not consider the proposal would create noise and disturbance as there were no near neighbours that would be directly affected by the additional car parking and the adjoining land to the site was open countryside to the north and was located within the confines of the existing site next to the circulation road.  The applicant had responded to the Parish Council’s concern about parking, traffic and road safety stating that the additional car parking was essential to provide extra parking infrastructure on the site, to formalise the existing parking on the poorly surfaced area and to meet the demand for parking for existing staff numbers.  He stated that although the emerging Neighbourhood Plan was a material consideration, only limited weight could be given to it because it had not been adopted.  The application was then recommended for approval.

 

A Parish Councillor was present at the meeting and made the following points:

 

·         Indiscriminate parking was taking place around the hospital site.

·         Visitors to the hospital were parking on residential streets to avoid paying the car parking charges on the hospital’s site which was causing access problems, particularly for ambulances.

·         Residents were  ...  view the full minutes text for item 34.
