Planning committee

Decided by York Planning Committee on 13 Apr 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the facility met an identified school need, with harm to the conservation area and neighbours mitigated by conditions.
  • Residents objected to noise, disturbance, traffic, lighting, construction impacts, drainage and possible outside use.
  • The committee voted ten to nil, with one abstention, to approve with conditions including netting and no outside letting.
