Explosives Store - Road Changes

North Yorkshire Highways has just recommended a number of conditions be applied to the Explosives store application. Among them being the building of splays either side of the entrance to the site. Splays are open areas, similar to slip roads, and would extend for a distance of 375m along Rudgate and would destroy the existing hedgerows.


Other conditions include setting a minimum width for Rudgate near the site.


These would be a major and extremely expensive changes to Rudgate and in our view demonstrate the unsuitability of the site. The changes would also be out of keeping with the nature of the area and would impact the visual amenity of an ancient Roman road.


More reasons to object, see the Activities/Explosive Store page.
