Bridge over Scalby Beck will go ahead
A 200 home development at High Mill was granted planning permission in 2020 which included plans for a bridge over Scalby Beck. The bridge was intended to provide a link from the estate to schools, doctors surgeries and shops etc.
A recent request by the developer to forego the building of the bridge was rejected by the Scarborough and Whitby area planning Committee.

Councillor Grieve said he was aware of “conflicting views regarding the use of the site by bikers” and added that there was both a “degree of nuisance being caused” as well as “a facility that has been created by and is no doubt providing enjoyment to a group of local bikers and young people”.

Bellway Homes
There is controversy concerning Bellway Homes building a potential bridge over Scalby Beck.
There is a proposal that there is to be a variation of condition 3 and removal of condition 18 on decision 19/01248/OL dated 03.09.2020 to delete requirement for pedestrian/cycle bridge/route over Sea Cut/Scalby Beck.
This has generated some controversy with some suggesting that Bellway Homes are seeking to renege on what was previously agreed.
To comment or object go to the proposal online at Scarborough Borough Council Planning Portal. The reference for this case is 22/01928/OLA.
Comments and objections must be logged no later than 26th October.
