Councillors call time on plans for new clubhouse
BRANDESBURTON: Controversial plans for a clubhouse at a caravan park have been thrown out.
Objections were raised to the proposed development at Blue Rose Country Park in Starcarr Lane.
Some objectors were fearful about potential noise and other disturbance from the clubhouse in a residential area of the village.
Brandesburton Parish Council objected, claiming the park should be supporting local pubs and restaurants.
The applicants said the clubhouse would only be open to people staying on the park and there would be no effect on the landscape.
East Yorkshire planning councillors decided to overturn their officers recommendation and rejected the scheme.
EAST YORKS: A convoy of tractors is set to raise hundreds of pounds for charity on Sunday.
More than 100 tractors will take part in the East Riding Federation Of Young Farmers' Club's road run.
The event is in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.
It is hosted by farmer John Sleight, of Laburnum Farm, Etton, near Beverley, who will head the cavalcade on his vintage Nuffield tractor.
He said: "Quite a few of this year's tractor drivers have never taken part in a road run before and are really excited about it."
The tractors leave Laburnum Farm at 10am and follow a route to Middleton-onthe-Wolds, Huggate, Warter, Market Weighton and back to Etton.

Fish And Chips At 149 in Marton Road, Bridlington, was a winner in the regional round of the National Apprenticeship Awards.
Owners Matthew Silk and Tracey Poskitt won the Small Employer of the Year Award.
They currently employ five apprentices in all areas of the award-winning business, including catering and hospitality.
The judges said Fish And Chips At 149 was an exemplary small business committed to every single employee's development and training.
The chippy won Britain's best fish and chip shop award earlier this year.
EAST YORKS: Rural community groups and charities are being invited to showcase their work at the Great Yorkshire Show in July.
The Yorkshire and Humber Rural Network wants them to join its stand to provide short, free and fun activities for visitors.
Sophie Price, rural network manager, said: "A lot of groups do not have the financial backing to take a stand at the show.
"We believe it will be a great experience for them to attend one of the three days for free to promote what they do."
