Dear Mr Piper,

In response to your enquiry.

The site on Lowthorpe Lane, Nafferton is outside the defined development
limit for Nafferton as set out in the adopted East Yorkshire Local Plan.
As such the site lies in the open countryside and residential development
would be contrary to national and local planning policies.

Any pre-application advice sought on the site would be confidential, but I
can advise you that the Council would simply state that residential
development of this site for residential development would be contrary to
policy. The only exception would be residential development for 100%
affordable housing to meet an identified local need, and this would have to
be provided by a Registered Social Landlord with legal agreements to ensure
that it was available for social housing in perpetuity.

The Council is currently preparing a Local Development Framework (LDF) Core
Strategy and this can be viewed on the Council's website. This proposes
that Nafferton will NOT be identified as a village for future development -
principally because of its proximity to Driffield which has more services
and facilities. If this approach is confirmed then there will be NO
allocation of housing land in the village. The Council's LDF includes an
Allocations Development Plan Document (again available on the website)
which is out for consultation with potential housing sites identified -
however as Nafferton is not a village identified for development the
Allocation DPD does not consider ANY potential residential sites in the
village. The future status of Nafferton as suggested in the LDF has
changed since 2005, and indeed since the Council's own Smaller Settlements
Development Plan Document of Oct 2006 when Nafferton was still identified
as a "market village" where limited development would be permitted.

I hope this information clearly sets out the current planning position.
Should you wish to comment on the LDF I would suggest you use the link
below.
