Decisions on a number of planning applications were made in the week beginning Monday, November 25.

On Wednesday, November 27, approval of details of proposed materials to be used by ArkleBoyce architects for a construction project at Dennings Yard was granted by City of York Council.

The details had been submitted by the architects to the council earlier this month, in accordance with a planning stipulation as follows: "Notwithstanding any proposed materials specified on the approved drawings or in the application form submitted with the application, samples of the external materials to be used for the buildings and surfacing shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to construction work above ground of the first new dwelling.

"The development shall be carried out using the approved materials."

Proposed materials for use by ArkleBoyce at Dennings Yard, and for which approval was granted, included but were not limited to Aluminium Cladding (PPC Finish) in Metallic Bronze; Roof finished in Siga 13S Natural Slate; Ibstock Birtley Olde English Buff Brick; and Wet-cast Reconstituted Stone.

On Monday, November 25, permission was granted, regarding a planned development on land to the east of Millfield Industrial Estate, on Main Street in Wheldrake, to "change the Orchid housetype on the development to the Oakwood housetype."

Permission was granted by the council on Tuesday, November 26 for the installation of a new digital scoreboard to the north-west corner of LNER Community Stadium, on Kathryn Avenue in Huntington, "following removal of existing scoreboard" [sic].

According to a development management officer report regarding the LNER Community Stadium scoreboard, the board would measure approximately 8m in width, 4.5m in height, and 1m in depth.

The report also noted: "The proposed scoreboard would be elevated via a steel framed, stilted platform structure.

"The proposal includes steel ‘spreader beams’ to provide additional loadbearing support.

"The proposed development includes an overhead catwalk providing accessibility for the maintenance of the scoreboard; the catwalk structure would measure at approximately 8m width and 1.1m depth."

On Tuesday, November 26, the council published a response to an application by York Museums Trust for permission to conduct "remedial pruning and dead wood removal" on 42 trees at Museum Gardens.

The council said that, since the Local Planning Authority had decided not to make a Tree Preservation Order, the work could be carried out as described.
