The car park would charge £3 a day. Caroline Sunter, representing the applicants, said allowing this car park would mean the multi storey car park at the station was not needed. She added: The applicants doubt that the multi storey car park at the station will ever be built, as it keeps getting pushed back. This car park would be of no cost to the public. She said the site was a brownfield site in low quality Green Belt. Referring to the claim that the car park would save the public money, planning officer Andrew Moxon said: This is a scheme that a private developer will benefit from by charging £3 a day. It is not necessarily saving the taxpayer.
MULTI- million pound plans for the redevelopment of Skipton Railway Station have been thrown open to the public for comment. Changes, including improved pedestrian links to the bus station, are part of £31million proposals to transform the gateways to three towns in North Yorkshire, also including Harrogate and Selby. In Skipton, improved access for walking and cycling from the railway station to the bus station are planned, along with improved frontage to the station itself, and better access to schools and colleges, and employment sites. A partnership of local authorities has succeeded in a bid to secure the money from the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund (TCF).
