TWO rural industrial developments that triggered more than 600 objections have been given the go-ahead by planners.
Almost 300 people tabled objections to plans by Firecrest Ltd to renew planning permission for industrial units at Market Flat Lane, Scotton, near Knaresborough.
A scheme by S&B Utilites to erect an industrial unit nearby, also in Market Flat Lane, Scotton, sparked 363 individual protests.
Residents had protested about an increase in traffic because of both applications and said industrial development was inappropriate in the rural areas.
Approval was granted by members of the Knaresborough area planning committee.
