Grace Maddan 1 Karen Banks From: Humphrey Maddan <[email protected]> Sent: 05 February 2021 08:47 To: Planning; Andrew Bishop; [email protected]; localplan Subject: Planning application R/85/514/GDO Adambottom farm West Burton Leyburn DL8 4UL Dear Planners, I strongly object to the proposed mast at West Scrafton. I think there are many reasons why it is unwise to accept 5G modernisation at the cost of the world class Yorkshire Dales. Here are a few: 1) Economically - the business cases I've viewed about the benefits to do with IoT does simply not stack up in having a meaningful benefit to our communities. Faster internet yes - see next point: 2) Technically - fibre optic would be hugely preferable as a solution to faster internet - due to speed and precision with no visual collateral. 3) Aesthetically - I would hope that individuals responsible for stewarding the Yorkshire Dales are conscious of how rare a landscape they are able to either preserve or change. 4)Environmentally - I think the effect on pollinators and species (not to mention humans) seems to be relatively unquantified. Therefore in light of the other areas, there is no reason to bring this risk to our community. I realise that it must be a hard decision - but please scrutinise your motives in this area. Unnecessary and visual modernisation of the Yorkshire Dales would be self-defeating - you would lose what makes this place so special for resident and visitor alike. Yours sincerely, Humphrey Maddan 1 Karen Banks From: Francis Maddan <[email protected]> Sent: 05 February 2021 08:01 To: Planning; [email protected]; [email protected]; localplan Subject: Planning application R/85/514/GDO Adambottom farm West burton Leybur DL8 4UL I object to the proposed mast at West scrafton on visual grounds Francis Maddan 1 Dr Diane Green The Old Town Hall Market Place Middleham North Yorkshire. DL8 4NR [email protected] 04/02/2021 The Planning Officer Planning Department Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority Yoredale, Bainbridge, Leyburn, North Yorkshire. DL8 3EL Application R/85/51A/GDO Land to the south east of existing agricultural buildings off High Lane, West Scrafton, Leyburn Application for prior approval under Part 16 of Schedule 2 to the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended by the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amendment) (no.2) Order 2016 and in accordance with the electronic communications code under the Telecommunications Act 1984 Schedule 2 as amended by the Communications Act 2003 for the installation of a 17m wooden utility Pole (15m above ground level) with mobile communications antenna and equipment cabinet Dear Sir or Madam I am writing to object to the above application, for the reasons below. Visual amenity: Coverdale has a strongly rural, highly scenic visual quality and is very little spoilt by intrusive evidence of modern life. I consider that the proposed mast, at 15 metres above ground level, would represent an alien and intrusive feature in the landscape. It would be considerably taller than the surrounding trees and local buildings and alien in character to its wider surroundings. It would rival the scale of the surrounding hills and moors and reduce their appearance of wildness. It would be an intrusive and visually unwelcome suburbanisation of this remote rural landscape. Nature conservation I have very serious wider concerns about the impact of the proposed telecoms mast upon the natural environment of Coverdale. I also have very serious concerns about the impact of the wider (‘MANY’) telecoms project of which this is a part, specifically upon the welfare of the local flora of Coverdale and upon the animals which live within or migrate to this remote rural area. The physical impact of the 5G radio waves upon the health and welfare of bees, butterflies and other insects, birds and mammals and upon the plant life of the area around this proposed mast and also around the other proposed masts in North Yorkshire County Council’s ‘MANY’ project to which this one belongs, has not been addressed in this application. Its safety for the animals and the wild plant-life of this beautiful and remote part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park is unproven. Indeed EMR (electro-magnetic radiation) has been associated with growing evidence of many harmful effects upon plants and animals (as documented in https://www.5gspaceappeal.org/the-appeal and many other sources). No Environmental Impact Assessment has been carried out for the present development and the wider project to which it belongs. As noted in Government Guidance, ‘The aim of Environmental Impact Assessment is to protect the environment by ensuring that a local planning authority when deciding whether to grant planning permission for a project, which is likely to have significant effects on the environment, does so in the full knowledge of the likely significant effects, and takes this into account in the decision making process.’ I note that it is part of your Council’s remit to conserve and enhance the natural beauty and wildlife of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. In accordance with this I strongly urge your Council to adopt the precautionary principle in considering this application, until (or unless) the safety of this new technology is proven. It is my understanding that the prevailing ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection) safety standards have been called into question by many scientists internationally, not least because of that organisation’s close links with the telecoms industry. Once lost, the rich biodiversity of Coverdale is unlikely to return and will no longer be capable of being enjoyed by future generations. Disturbance resulting from use Disturbance resulting from use is a further material planning consideration. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has been linked to a range of adverse health impacts upon human beings; notably to damage to DNA, cancer, impaired cellular function and to nervous, circulatory and reproductive system damage. This is well documented, although not currently accepted by ICNIRP. Furthermore the proposed mast and the others in the MANY project would subject the local population to not just occasional but continuous, involuntary electromagnetic radiation. Any damage to the health of local residents would clearly cause them ‘disturbance’ and this is therefore a legitimate concern in determining a planning application. Therefore, this serious matter also calls for the use of the precautionary principle to be applied by your Council. Alternatives available It is my understanding that there are alternative means of providing connectivity in Coverdale, notably fibre broadband, which I understand may have been considered too expensive for parts of Coverdale, but which is likely to provide a safer method of bringing connectivity for the residents and businesses in the dale. I further understand that the emergency services masts (of which I understand there is one at Braidley, one being erected at Coverhead and one recently approved at Gildersbeck) are also intended to be activated for commercial use (timing to be decided) and could cover local requirements. In the light of the above, I question whether it is appropriate for your Council to approve the present application for the proposed mast at West Scrafton and thereby to allow the introduction of an unproven technology which could put some of the chief objectives of your Council at risk, when your Council could choose to adopt the precautionary principle and honour its remit to conserve and enhance the natural beauty and wildlife of this beautiful area. For the above reasons I strongly urge your Council to refuse this application. Yours sincerely Dr Diane Green (B.A. Hon; D.Phil) Middleham resident.

Paragraph 6 of the recommendation. The recommendation says that there are no wildlife conservation constraints to this application based upon the data we hold. • The YDNPA purpose includes a responsibility for ‘conserving and enhancing the natural landscape and wildlife … of the National Park’. Scientific studies provide strong evidence that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from telecommunications masts is damaging to flora and fauna. (See examples in the addendum below). 2. Paragraphs 8-18 - need for the development. The MANY project states that the application is required to enable a trial service aimed at providing superfast broadband and mobile phone signal to a ‘not-spot’ rural community. If this is the purpose of the trial, and consequently the application, then there appears to be no justification of need because Coverdale Connect and Protect, who advocate for a safe and optimal connectivity solution, have conducted a survey of the community which suggests; • 90% of properties within the trial area are currently connected to a fibre broadband service.

  • Heritage at Risk Register
    CASTLE HOWARD MAUSOLEUM Castle Howard Estate, Ryedale, North Yorkshire The Mausoleum, by Hawksmoor, 1729-42, and modelled on the tomb of Metella, is a major feature of the Howardian Hills. Situated on a bluff east of Castle Howard. The columns were repaired with a grant in the 1980s. The entablature and bastions continue to decay. Much of the damage is due to rusting cramps. The staircase balustrade is collapsing. 304 HERITAGE AT RISK YORKSHIRE & THE HUMBER 305 Y&H HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Of the 176 entries on the baseline 1999 Yorkshire and the Humber buildings at risk register, 91(52%) have now been removed. Although this is 6% higher than the regional average for 2008, our rate of progress is slowing. Of the five entries removed this year, only one was on the 1999 register. This is because the core of buildings remaining from the 1999 register are either scheduled monuments with no obvious use, or buildings with a problematic future that require a strategic re-think to provide a viable solution. Despite these problems, we are continuing to work with owners, local authorities, trusts and other funding bodies to try to secure the long-term future of these buildings and structures. Just over half (52%) of the regional grants budget (almost £500,000) was offered to eleven buildings at risk in the last financial year. There are four new entries this year: in North Yorkshire, St Leonard’s Church at Sand Hutton, and in West Yorkshire, Hopton Congregational Church in Mirfield,Westwood Mills at Linthwaite, and Stank Hall near Leeds.This gives a total of 122 Grade I and II* listed buildings and scheduled monuments at risk entries on the Yorkshire and the Humber register.

  • Car Parking Charges for the Station, Richmond Swimming
    CAR PARKING CHARGES FOR THE STATION, RICHMOND SWIMMING POOL AND GYM CUSTOMERS ARE ON THE WAY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THEM FAIRER IF YOU ACT IMMEDIATELY BY EXPRESSING YOUR VIEWS Richmondshire District Council is proposing to introduce car parking charges in The Station Yard Car Park this spring. We understand that the ticket machines have been ordered . This car park is currently used by customers of The Station, Richmond Swimming Pool and Liberty Gym. All of these buildings and the activities which take place in them are organised and maintained through the efforts of two local volunteer-led charities: The Station – Is operated by The Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust The Pool and Gym – Are operated by the Richmond Leisure Trust If you regularly use these ‘much loved’ charity-run-facilities , and choose to park your vehicle in the council owned Station Yard Car Park, you will shortly be charged for your visit. The charities that operate these facilities believe that what is being proposed will have an immediate and detrimental impact on these community amenities which are run on a ‘not-for profit’ basis - and could ultimately force them to close. The local authority appear to have little or no relevant research on which to justify their position. Your help is needed NOW to ensure that the views of people like you, who value The Station, pool and gym, to make your voices heard on this critical issue by writing to or phoning your district councillor, if you live in Richmondshire or writing to the head of the local authority if you don't.

    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.

  • Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013
    Yorkshire Swale flood history 2013 Sources The greater part of the information for the River Swale comes from a comprehensive PhD thesis by Hugh Bowen Willliams to the University of Leeds in 1957.He in turn has derived his information from newspaper reports, diaries, local topographic descriptions, minutes of Local Authority and Highway Board and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts. The information is supplemented by various conversations which Williams had with farmers who owned land adjacent to the river. Where possible the height of the flood at the nearest cross- section of the place referred to in the notes is given. This has either been levelled or estimated from the available data. Together with the level above Ordnance Datum (feet) and the section in question there is given (in brackets) the height of the flood above normal water level. Information is also included from the neighbouring dales (mainly Wensleydale and Teesdale) as this gives some indication of conditions in Swaledale. Williams indicates that this is by no means a complete list, but probably contains most of the major floods in the last 200 years, together with some of the smaller ones in the last 70 years.
