The Assistant Director Planning sought determination of a planning application for a major residential development including access, landscaping, public open space and parking at land at Racecourse Road, East Ayton, Scarborough, North Yorkshire on behalf of Pegasus Planning Group Ltd.

Updating the report, the planning officer advised that a local resident had submitted an objection in respect of the alignment of the proposed footway along Racecourse Road to the carriageway; however, the Highway Authority had not raised any concerns in this regard.
