Fulford residents’ object to Harlington House care home plan
7:42am Friday 19th March 2010
PLANS to build a care home for the elderly in York have been met by objections from residents and councillors.
A public meeting has now been called to discuss the plans to construct a two-storey residential care home to the rear of Harlington House, off Main Street, Fulford.
The meeting has been called by Fulford councillor Keith Aspden.
He said: “A number of residents have concerns about the development, especially in terms of the effect the new building will have on nearby houses. Residents have concerns about extra traffic this development would generate and about the effect the development will have on surface water drainage.
“I believe this application would be an overdevelopment of the particular locality and would have a negative impact on Fulford conservation area so I have written to City of York Council to formally reject the plans.”
He said the level of concern from local residents meant he felt it was important for the application to be considered at a public planning committee.

Perhaps if existing residents allow themselves to become less car dependant, there will be more highay capacity for those of their new neighbours who need to drive if eg mobility restricted, or to receive associated car-borne services and deliveries.
