| 9 | Er nevertheless , under P P G guidance , erm advice , the new settlement is a strategic issue and therefore it 's right and proper to think about it and look at look at it and try to determine whether it is possible to give guidance on a district location through this through through through this debate . |

| 20 | The other concern in the City Council 's evidence on H One er is this issue of distribution , I note Mr Davis 's comments about the difficulties of subdividing the Greater York allocation between different districts , and I I do acknowledge the difficulty in relation to Harrogate , and particularly Hambledon which obviously has a very small proportion of Greater York , on the other hand both Ryedale and Selby do contain a substantial proportion of the Greater York population , er based on my calculations of their er proportion of the population of Greater York which admittedly is a somewhat crude way of of doing estimates , but in the absence of of any other projections that was really the only way to do it , my estimate is that the er compared with the nine seven target of County Council would take in the could potentially be seen to be taking a share of four thousand two hundred in Ryedale and seventeen hundred for Selby , if you base it on their existing population distribution on er part outside the city , now I 'm not saying necessarily that 's how the way you would do it , but I I think it 's an indication that the scale of development in those two districts is quite significant in Greater York , our concern is that the policy as it currently stands does not give any real guidance as to the way in which distribution of development outside the city , but in Greater York , erm can be er should be di divided up , and I think the problem really occurs from the introduction of the new settlement into H One , erm I do n't want to stray into the H Two debate Chair , but I think it 's the fact that H One does include a figure for the new settlement , that the new settlement is not located within any particular district , but that all the district totals do include in effect a figure which is undetermined at this stage , that that would be absorbed by the new settlement , as I understand the policy at the moment , and I think that really does introduce a problem , erm because clearly all of the emerging districts wide local plans could be in conformity with the structure plan and not include the new settlement , I think it 's er interesting to note that the the D O E's recently published a good practice guide , on development plans , did particularly highlight the situation in Greater York , as a problem , as a shortcoming of the existing plan , and if I can just quote it , it does say this , on page forty three , it would seem appropriate for broad locations of new development to be established by means of an alteration to the structure plan . |
| 21 | So we have suggested , erm , you will see in our evidence that policy H One should be amended and their are clearly a number of ways in which that amended amendment could take place , but we would particularly suggest that erm an indication should be given as to what the proportion of each district 's allocation is assumed to be going to the new settlement , if the new settlement is is agreed under the H Two discussion , thank you . |

| 24 | Well I was I 've looked , Peter Davis , North Yorkshire , I 've just glanced down the table at certainly at the er my Greater York district colleagues , and er certainly we er are rather surprised that er you have the impression that you have the impression that er erm we could do without the erm the new settlement , quite clearly erm erm certainly Harrogate , Selby , er and Ryedale , and the County Council , believe the the new settlement is absolutely essential , erm and I think that 's erm erm certainly a matter of agreement between er us and those three districts , it 's absolutely essential . |
| 25 | The may maybe I just comment on that that last that last point , which as I understand it it the the justification for a new settlement is brought about solely by increasing the requirement for Greater York to twelve thousand seven hundred , going through those figures there seems to me , for instance , for both Ryedale and Selby to be more provision than could be met in a single settlement , I I think the the figures put forward by Barton Willmore are more than can be met in existing allocations and a single new settlement of a reasonable size . |
| 26 | Can I say first of all that er I support the general approach which has been adopted by Yorkshire County Council and the the other local authorities in the Greater York area , on the way in which they 've formulated their proposals for the York greenbelt after a fairly long erm and exhausting process , the question to which I want to address my comments first of all is whether the new settlement is an appropriate and justified planning response , and what I would like to do if I may is look at some of the reasons that have been raised erm in objection to the new settlement as a strategy , erm these issues have been raised by Hambledon District , York City Council , the C P R E , Montague Evans , in their written submissions to the examination of the . |
| 27 | The second major issue which I believe had been used against the new settlement as a an appropriate Greater York area , is that it 's inconsistent with erm current recent central government planning advice , and basically the argument is that the proposals for the new settlement are contrary to er planning policy guidance notes three and twelve , and draft er P P G thirteen , if I can deal with P P G thirteen first of all , and the observation of Mr Curtis that the new settlement is a last resort , erm now I could find no reference to that at all erm in P P G three , or even a sentiment that at planning policy er that a new settlement should be regarded erm as a policy of last resort . |

| 30 | There is an additional aspect that erm we we must look also , I think , at the viability of the services and facilities , er , within the new settlement , if the new settlement is , for the sake of argument five hundred houses then my submission is that that really offers no long term viability for any facility or service , erm , clearly you might get a primary school if the new settlement size was of the order of eight hundred to a thousand dwellings , but you would not get any sizable retail element , and so however far that settlement was located from the main centre they would still become dependant on that centre , and that 's why I think it 's important to recognize that if you are to achieve the erm if you like the balance of requirements , of achieving erm a reasonable degree of self containment within the new settlement , but also meet the needs of York , it has to be a reasonable size , but located as close to York as possible |
