As mentioned in earlier posts, a study was commissioned by Leeds City Region Leaders seeking a suitable site for an 'eco' town.
It emerged 3 weeks ago, that 4 sites had been identified - all in Selby District.
Those 4 are at Burn, Church Fenton, Gascoigne Wood and the ‘Willow Green’ site at Eggborough/Kellington.
On the face of it Darringfield whilst no longer mentioned has still not been ruled out by the DCLG.
There is likely to be an announcement in the next week or so which location in Selby District is to be pushed as the preffered option. At that point whilst we may seem to be off the hook, there start a host of new challenges and I believe that our neighbours in Selby District will need our support.
A new community parachuted in without sufficient thought given to infrastructure will still potentially overload our existing stretched road and infrastructure network.
More information as it becomes available.
