Annex a Wind Turbine Sensitivity and Capacity EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE COUNCIL LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT UPDATE 2018 ANNEX A – WIND TURBINE SENSITIVITY AND CAPACITY STUDY Prepared for: East Riding of Yorkshire Council Landcape Character Assessment Update EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE COUNCIL LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT UPDATE 2018 1. INTRODUCTION East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) commissioned AECOM to undertake a separate Landscape Sensitivity and Capacity Study in relation to onshore wind energy. The study will be used to inform the identification of: areas where onshore wind energy developments would be inappropriate within the wider landscape setting; and areas of less sensitivity where wind energy development could be accommodated with appropriate mitigation. 1.1 SCOPE A brief to carry out the Landscape Sensitivity and Capacity Study was prepared by the Council. The study needs to include the following: Provide technical landscape capacity information which will be used to help develop the Council's onshore wind energy policy; Use the updated Landscape Character Types (LCT), as the basis for the capacity assessment; Incorporate the Council's database of built and consented wind farms/turbines situated within landscapes that form part of the Council's administrative area; Identify 'areas of significant constraint', 'areas of potential constraint' and 'areas of search' for onshore wind energy developments; and Provide guidance for development, to assist in the development management decision-making process. This document should be read in conjunction with the Landscape Character Assessment descriptions for each of the LCTs.

PLANNING POLICY Government Guidance on ‘renewable and low carbon energy’ refers to the National Planning Policy Framework. This explains that ’all 2.1 STRATEGY DOCUMENT communities have a responsibility to help increase the use and supply of green energy, but this does not mean that the need for renewable The Strategy Document forms part of a suite of portfolio of planning energy automatically overrides environmental protections and the documents that together provide the framework for managing development planning concerns of local communities.’ and addressing key planning issues in the East Riding. The Strategy Document sets the overall direction for the Local Plan, providing strategic The guidance advised that, ‘there are no hard and fast rules about how policies to guide decisions on planning applications. suitable areas for renewable energy should be identified, but in considering locations, local planning authorities will need to ensure they take into account Policy EC5(C) of the Strategy Document sets out that; the requirements of the technology and, critically, the potential impacts on the "Suitable areas for wind energy development will be identified through a local environment, including from cumulative impacts. The views of local review of the Local Plan and/or preparation of Neighbourhood Development communities likely to be affected should be listened to.’ Plans.

  • East Riding of Yorkshire Important Landscape Areas Boundary Refinement
    East Riding of Yorkshire Important Landscape Areas Boundary Refinement Scope of Work Golder Associates (UK) Ltd (Golder) was commissioned by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) in July 2013 to review and map the definitive boundaries of the ‘Important Landscape Areas’ (ILAs) as defined by Policy ENV2 of the draft Local Plan 2013-2029. (Policy ENV 2 is included in Appendix A of this report). There are six ILAs within the Draft Local Plan area: The Yorkshire Wolds; Heritage Coast at Flamborough; Heritage Coast Spurn; River Derwent Corridor; Lower Derwent Valley and Pocklington Canal; and Thorne, Crowle and Goole Moors. The ILAs are based on the East Riding of Yorkshire Landscape Character Assessment, 2005 and their boundaries generally coincide with the high quality Landscape Character Areas identified at the time. (The key attributes of the ILA based on the corresponding LCA are listed in Appendix B) The objective of this commission was to redefine and rationalise the boundaries of the ILAs (currently plotted at 120,000 scale) to align them where possible to geographical features such as roads, rivers and field boundaries, taking into account the key characteristics of each LCA and the objectives of the designation. The work will support the landscape evidence for the emerging East Riding Local Plan. Method for refining the boundaries of the ‘Important Landscape Areas’ The method employed for refining and updating the boundaries is set out below: The existing ‘regional scale’ boundaries were superimposed onto larger scale OS base maps and their alignment was assessed in relation to key landscape characteristics and evidence from the 2005 Landscape Character Assessment.

It lies adjacent to, and to the south of Elvington Water Treatment Works (WTW). A grassed steeply sloping bund, generally 3m in height rises from the back (north) of the site, providing some screening of the WTW. The site itself is relatively flat in the northern half, but land slopes down across the eastern part of the site from 11m AOD on the north-eastern boundary at the base of the bund, down to 8m AOD along the ditch, on the southern boundary of the site. From there, beyond the southern boundary, the land gently rises towards the village, which generally lies on the 10m AOD contour. 1.2 The site is not currently in agricultural use and the northern part of the site historically was used for storage for the WTW. An area of broken hardstanding is visible beneath the grassland in the northern part of the site together with a metal storage container. The site is characterised by rough semi-improved grassland with approximately 30 scattered scrubs and young trees (hawthorne, willow, oak and birch) on the central and eastern portion of the site.

    Station Travel Plan Hull, Selby & Brough ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TransPennine Express. Station Travel Plan. Huddersfield & Dewsbury. Version 1. Published DD/MM/YYYY. Author: Charlie French, Transport Integration Manager TransPennine Express Station Travel Plans have been produced in line with guidance issued by the Association of Train Operators (ATOC). All information contained within the Station Travel Plan is correct as of the date of publishing. Station Travel Plans will be updated and republished on the anniversary of the publishing date above. Station Travel Plan Hull, Selby & Brough ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction What is a Station Travel Plan? The Department for Transport defines as Station Travel Plan as: ‘A strategy for managing the travel generated by your organisation, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact, typically involving support for walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing’. Over the next two years, TransPennine Express is undertaking Station Travel Plans for the 19 stations where they are currently the Station Facility Owner (SFO). This document serves as an update to the Station Travel Plan produced by First/Keolis TransPennine Express in the interim. Why Develop a Station Travel Plan? Demand for rail is growing. More people are choosing to travel by rail and demand has risen to its highest point since 1920, and it is set to keep on rising, with predictions that demand will more than double within the next 30 years. This increase means that more and more people are travelling to and from our stations, with cars being the number one choice, meaning that car parking is becoming a major issue for our customers.

It is 3.5ha in size. It lies to the west of the B1222 running to the south of York, connecting the village of Naburn with the suburb of Fulford to the north. 1.2 The site is 'boot shaped', bounded by post and rail fencing on its eastern edge. A well-used off-road local cycle route connecting Naburn and the elevated cycle to Fulford and the city centre runs alongside the eastern boundary of the site. It connects by ramp with the elevated National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 65 which defines the south-west boundary of the site. The local cycle route alongside the eastern boundary is separated from the road by a mixed deciduous hedgerow. The cycle route is outside the redline area being in the ownership of the Council. To the south-east corner, a gap in the hedgerow with pedestrian safety barrier allows users to cross the road onto the second cycle/pedestrian ramp up to the National cycle route or to carry along the B1222 to Naburn.
