LOCATION: Land At Grid Reference 441718 451772 Wetherby Lane Kirk Deighton North Yorkshire REPORT SITE AND PROPOSAL Hall Garth Farm is a relatively new enterprise which has been established on fields to the north of Ingmanthorpe. Access is gained via a track which leads off the access to Ingmanthorpe House. To date there are two large agricultural buildings on site, with planning permission for a third. The two buildings are located in the corner of a field with tree belts to the north and west. The buildings are set in a flat, open landscape dominated by the new A1(M) which passes close to the west of the site. It is proposed to erect a farm workers dwelling on site. The application is in outline, with layout and access for consideration at this stage. MAIN ISSUES 1. Policy 2. Agricultural Need 3. Landscape Impact 4.

Full details of the proposed dwelling must be submitted 2. All detailed requirements, such as materials employed, must be met. OTHER REPRESENTATION - One letter of objection received from occupant of Ingmanthorpe House. Grounds of objection:- - Large numbers of commercial vehicles on track - Mud on road - Abuse of temporary living accommodation. VOLUNTARY NEIGHBOUR NOTIFICATION - None. ASSESSMENT OF MAIN ISSUES 1. POLICY - Government guidance in Planning Policy Statement (PPS)7 states that isolated houses in the open countryside require special justification. The need to house an agricultural worker is one of the few such cases, and Annex A of PPS7 sets out the criteria which have to be met to justify a new farm worker's dwelling. This case has been set out in the agricultural appraisal which accompanied the application, a summary of which is attached at Appendix 1. The full appraisal can be viewed on the Council's website and a paper copy will be available for inspection by Members in the Members' Room at Crescent Gardens from 21 January 2008. 2. AGRICULTURAL NEED - This application for an agricultural worker's dwelling is supported by an agricultural appraisal on Hall Garth Farm and by further information on the whole agricultural unit, both prepared by David Hill Property Consultants, the basis of which is outlined below:- The principal holding is at Grange Farm, Arthington where the applicant lives and where the suckler cows are calved and the breeding sheep lamb because the livestock can be properly managed at a time requiring special care and supervision. The progeny are moved to Hall Garth Farm to over-winter. In 2003, the applicant purchased 240 acres of arable land at Hall Garth Farm, Wetherby, which formerly formed part of Ingmanthorpe Hall Farm. Since that time he has erected two large modern agricultural buildings, one a grain store and the other for the accommodation of cattle. He is in the process of building a third livestock building on the holding. At Hall Garth Farm approximately 75 acres of the arable land are sown to winter oats to feed to the cattle and wheat straw is retained for cattle bedding. In September each year approximately 160 suckler store cattle from the suckler from the suckler herd are brought from the main farm and housed in the livestock building (soon to be two buildings) at Hall Garth Farm. The cattle are only kept at Hall Garth Farm in the buildings over the winter months and then returned to grass on the principal holding or elsewhere for the summer months. In November, 1000 store lambs are brought from the principal holding to Hall Garth Farm to graze over approximately 70 acres of stubble and turnips and will remain there for 2 or 3 months. To summarise, during the winter months at Hall Garth Farm 160 store cattle, all over 6 months old are housed within the buildings and a 1000 store lambs are grazed over stubble and turnips for 2 or 3 months. No lambing or calving takes place at Hall Garth Farm. The livestock are removed to the principal holding or elsewhere for the summer months. There is no dwelling on the holding and it is claimed that property prices are out of reach of those whose income is dependent on farming. It is stated that Hall Garth Farm generates a labour requirement of 1.83 labour units and that a worker is required on site to observe and inspect the stock at regular intervals to ensure that they receive proper care and attention and to ensure animal welfare standards are met. From the information submitted it would appear that four years ago the applicant purchased 240 acres of accommodation land, which is approximately 8 miles away from his principal holding and on which he has erected two large farm buildings and is in the course of erecting a third. A number of store cattle and sheep are moved to Hall Garth Farm for the winter months. These are currently supervised by the applicant travelling from his principal holding approximately 8 miles away. Given the age of the store cattle and store lambs, their accommodation and system of management, they could be adequately supervised twice a day, and sometimes only once a day if there were other more pressing tasks on the agricultural unit. The livestock are only at Hall Garth Farm during the winter months and could be supervised from another dwelling in the locality. During the summer months there is no need for a key worker to live on site. At Grange Farm, the applicant's partner runs an equine livery business accommodating approximately 40 horses. It would seem likely that the former livestock accommodation at Arthington is now used for an equestrian enterprise. There is too a possibility that buildings have been erected at Hall Garth Farm and some livestock centred there over the winter months in order to support an application for a new house when the livestock activity over recent winter months could have been centred either at the principal steading or on other land, all of which is pasture where the main livestock activity would normally be expected to be centred. If an agricultural worker's dwelling were approved at Hall Garth Farm, there is no certainty that the livestock in the winter months would continue to be located there. The applicant has not established a special justification and because livestock are only retained at Hall Garth Farm over the winter months, a case for a key worker to live permanently on site has not been sufficiently made. No financial information has been submitted in support of this application but given that Hall Garth Farm is primarily satellite accommodation land to a principal steading 8 miles away, it would be unreasonable to require details of the financial operations at Hall Garth Farm, and what figures might be given would only confuse rather than clarify the issues. 3. LANDSCAPE IMPACT - The proposed dwelling would be sited close to the two large agricultural buildings, which are already offered some screening by the tree belts to the north and west. Subject to further planting, it is considered that the proposed dwelling would not harm the character or appearance of the landscape. 4. PUBLIC OPEN SPACE - As the application is in outline, the contribution for off- site Public Open Space would be dealt with by means of a condition. CONCLUSION It is considered that there is no justification for an agricultural workers dwelling in this location contrary to PPS7. CASE OFFICER: Mr M Williams RECOMMENDATION That the application be REFUSED. Reason(s) for refusal:- 1 There is no functional need for an agricultural workers dwelling on this holding. In the absence of any such justification the proposed dwelling in the open countryside would be contrary to Government advice in PPS7. .

  • Dear Sir/Madam I Wish to Register My Objection to the Proposed Development Next to the AI Service Station at Wetherby
    From: To: Site Allocations Plan Subject: PNE00145_Planing next to A1 services Date: 02 November 2016 17:03:08 Dear Sir/Madam I wish to register my objection to the proposed Development next to the AI Service station at Wetherby. I like thousands of other Wetherby residents would like you to LISTEN to the people before it is too late! Wetherby is a small town where it is impossible to park, long waits for doctors appointments, over crowded roads, and you have already ignored the people of Wetherby and surrounding villages and gone ahead with 3 huge housing developments . THIS IS JUST NOT SUSTAINABLE and we are FULL!! Why are you hellbent on ruining Wetherby as a nice rural Market town ! The current infrastructure never mind the environment cannot possible absorb these huge developments ! As it stands, new road structures should be put in place to help Spofforth, North Deighton and Kirk Deighton . These villages are been used as a through run to and from Harrogate to York and although these villages are under North Yorkshire . However it is West Yorkshire planning council causing all the traffic problems. Putting in the new road from Wetherby up to and past the service station to York road has tripled the traffic through Kirk Deighton and this was never taken into account. Your new proposed plans to build a further 1449 houses will totally ruin Wetherby and its surrounding villages. I think the council needs to adopt some common sense, which has been greatly lacking when it comes to road traffic issues in the last few years ! Regards L.

Proposal: Outline application for the erection of up to 210 dwellings and associated infrastructure, with access to (but not within) the site considered. (Site Area 13.17Ha) Applicant: Hallam Land Management And Stockeld Park Access to the case file on Public Access can be found here:- view file Reason for report: This application is to be presented to the Planning Committee because it proposes a scheme of residential development of 50 units or more. The application was deferred at the Planning Committee of 05.04.2018 to seek clarification on education matters. At the Planning Committee of 14.08.2018 Members voted to refuse the application contrary to the recommendation of the Chief Planner on the following grounds: 1) health: lack of doctors / dentists provision; 2) education: lack of education provision; 3) highway infrastructure: unable to carry more traffic. The application stands deferred by the Solicitor to the Council from the Planning Committee of 14.08.2018 for further consideration in accordance with the Council’s scheme of delegation for determining Planning applications. The Committee will receive an exempt report as part of its determination. SUMMARY The proposed scheme comprises the development of up to 210 dwellings, of which up to 84 will be defined as affordable, on a sustainable green field site on the edge of an established major settlement in the Leeds District. The development has significant social benefits in providing open market and 40% affordable housing to contribute to meeting an identified shortfall for the Harrogate district.

  • Parish of Wetherby with Linton Annual Report 2020
    Parish of Wetherby with Linton Annual Report 2020 A Message from Brendan This report was compiled just before we were plunged into lockdown in March. It seems to be referring to a different world. A world of gathering, singing together, eating and drinking together in ways that are not possible now. It is the world we yearn to return to. It also reminds us that, even though for the time being these joys are being denied us, by adapting to these times the family of St James’ Church continues to worship God and serve our community. The church continues to be the church. When we were not allowed to gather for worship in the church building, we were blessed with lots of help enabling us to move our worship on line. We never missed a Sunday. Over these months our skills have developed enabling us, from our own church building, to reach those who cannot come to church. We have also endeavoured to keep in contact with people who are perhaps not so “tech savvy”, as well as those who need practical help at this time. Indeed, it was characteristic of St James’ Church that the first responses I received to lock down were from people asking “how can I help those in need”. The church has continued being the church worshipping God, and serving our community. As we enter the winter there are many challenges ahead, but as Christians we look to the future in hope. Hope that through all the changing scenes of life we will know God’s goodness, made known to us in Jesus Christ, going before us, and by his grace we may continue to be the church of God enjoying and sharing his presence in our community.

It identifies areas within and adjoining the two settlements where potentially significant effects upon the historic environment are anticipated, for example where development would impact upon significant elements of the setting of a heritage asset. It is intended as an initial baseline to inform more detailed site-specific studies for the settlement. The archaeological potential of land falling within the setting of the study areas is not considered within this report.

  • PRIEST in CHARGE of the BENEFICES of COLLINGHAM with HAREWOOD, and SPOFFORTH with KIRK DEIGHTON, FOLLIFOOT and LITTLE RIBSTON (POPULATION C5736)
    PRIEST IN CHARGE OF THE BENEFICES OF COLLINGHAM WITH HAREWOOD, AND SPOFFORTH WITH KIRK DEIGHTON, FOLLIFOOT AND LITTLE RIBSTON (POPULATION c5736) ROLE DESCRIPTION Role Context The benefices are set on the adjoining borders of West and North Yorkshire and contain the villages of Collingham, Harewood, Weardley, Compton, Spofforth, Kirk Deighton, Follifoot and Little Ribston. Some of the villages are growing with proposed new housing developments. The nearest large city is Leeds and the spa town of Harrogate is close by, with the smaller towns of Wetherby and Knaresborough also being easily accessible. The Priest in Charge will have responsibility for the Associate Priest who is based at Spofforth. The churches are managed by: 1. The PCC of Collingham with Harewood 2. The PCC of Spofforth with Kirk Deighton, Follifoot, Little Ribston 3. The DCCs of Spofforth, Kirk Deighton, Follifoot, Little Ribston Across the benefices there is a rotating pattern of Sunday services to ensure the vicar is able to regularly visit all the churches, supported by the Associate Priest and Reader. Travel is necessary to the various churches and schools in the benefices. This post requires a prayerful priest and leader, reliant on the Holy Spirit, with good people skills, who wants to see the growth of the Kingdom of God within and especially beyond the church. The person appointed will, therefore, require passion for discipleship, mission and pastoral care and, as a leader and team player, be able to enthuse others with similar passion. The Diocese of Leeds is committed to on-going training, development and well-being. There is a modern vicarage at Collingham.
