Sir Fredrick Milbank MP leased the shooting in the late 1860's when the landowner John Bowes, founder of the Bowes Museum, was living in Paris.

  • Faecal Bacteria Data from Samples Collected on the 24Th August 2020
    Faecal bacteria data from samples collected on the 24th August 2020 iWHARFE Improving water quality on the River Wharfe from Oughtershaw to the Ouse A citizen science project Faecal bacteria data from samples collected on the 24th August 2020 iWharfe is a citizen science project. It involves members of communities along the Wharfe valley, working together with the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and other agencies. It is funded by local donations and grants. The project was designed to provide a snapshot of water quality condi- tions along the entire length of the river on a single day and to raise awareness about water quality issues both for people and wildlife. Water samples were collected on the 24th August 2020. Here we report on results from samples analysed for faecal bacteria, the organisms in wastewater that cause gastro-intestinal illness. Executive Summary 1. The R. Wharfe “Big Health Check” on the 24th August 2020 involved five teams of citizen scien- tists taking water samples from 60 sites along the R. Wharfe at approximately the same time on the same day. 2. Although riverflow was relatively high, conditions were similar along the full length of the river. 3. Samples for faecal bacteria analysis were stored in cool boxes and hand-delivered to a collection point in Wakefield. They were analysed for E. coli and Intestinal Enterococci (IE) at ALS Ltd Cov- entry, an accredited microbiology laboratory, within 24 hours of sampling. 4. The results showed high concentrations of both E. coli and IE at sites between Buckden and Barden Bridge in Upper Wharfedale and at Beanlands Island in Ilkley, relatively low concentra- tions in Langstrothdale and in the stretch from Bolton Abbey to Ilkley Suspension Bridge, and var- iable concentrations downstream from Burley to the Ouse confluence at Cawood.

  • Yorkshire Dales National Park Local Plan 2015-2030 the Local Plan Was Adopted on 20 December 2016
    Yorkshire Dales National Park Local Plan 2015-2030 The Local Plan was adopted on 20 December 2016. It does not cover the parts of Eden District, South Lakeland or Lancaster City that have been designated as part of the extended National Park from 1 August 2016. The Local Plan is accompanied by a series of policies maps that provide the spatial expression of some of the policies. The maps show land designations - for example, where land is protected for wildlife purposes. They also show where land is allocated for future development. The policies maps can be found on the Authority’s website in the Planning Policy section at www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/policies-maps 1 Introduction 1 L4 Demolition and alteration of 77 traditional farm buildings 2 Strategic Policies L5 Heritage assets - enabling 79 SP1 Sustainable development 10 development SP2 National Park purposes 12 L6 Crushed rock quarrying 81 SP3 Spatial strategy 14 L7 Building stone 85 SP4 Development quality 18 L8 Reworking mineral waste 86 SP5 Major development 21 L9 Mineral and railhead 87 safeguarding 3 Business & Employment L10 The open upland 89 BE1 Business development sites 24 BE2 Rural land-based enterprises 26 6 Tourism BE3 Re-use of modern buildings 28 T1 Camping 92 BE4 New build live/work units 30 T2 Touring caravan sites 94 BE5 High street service frontages 32 T3 Sustainable self-catering 96 BE6 Railway-related development 34 visitor accommodation BE7 Safeguarding employment 36 T4 Visitor facilities 99 uses T5 Indoor visitor facilities 101 4 Community 7 Wildlife C1 Housing
