One councillor said 'the devil will be in the detail'
Coun Michael Pavlovic asked the developer whether environmental measures such as solar panels or air source heat pumps had been considered.
Gladman’s Chris Lee said such measures could be considered once the site is sold to a housebuilder and the necessary reserved matters planning application is submitted. Coun Tony Fisher said: “A green belt site – I always struggle with these but this one I’ve lost less sleep over the most. I think this is a fairly good site.
“The devil will be in the detail when it comes to reserved matters and it will be at that point – if I’m on the planning committee – I should be looking for a very high quality scheme with plenty of solar panels and air source heat pumps.Coun Janet Looker added: “It is a huge opportunity when you’re doing a new build to build in energy efficiency, because it’s cheaper – retrofitting is just so expensive.
Coun Pete Kilbane said: “This is a huge opportunity to create an off-road cycle path from Copmanthorpe into the centre of York.”
