An ambition to launch a holiday lodge venture opposite a large housing estate remains in the balance after councillors said they had not been provided with sufficient information to decide whether to approve it.
A meeting of North Yorkshire Council’s Thirsk and Malton constituency committee was told a couple’s application to change of use of a paddock off Oulston Road, Easingwold, to site five holiday lodges, lacked details which would reveal whether residents of the area would be protected.
In addition, Easingwold Town Council had objected to the proposal, saying it would have a “detrimental impact on the countryside and local residents, community and causes road safety concerns”. Speaking on behalf of “28 very worried residents who feel disregarded”, an objector told the meeting while the promotion of tourism was part of the Hambleton Local Plan, it was not an over-riding objective. He said: “The economic is still to be balanced with the social and environmental factors.
