Mitchell T/As The Landscape Design Company P a g e | 3 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Landscape Design Company was commissioned in 2019 by Arrowsmith Associates on behalf of Burton Leonard Opposition Group to assess the likely landscape effects of 19/00068/OUTMAJ: Outline application for the erection of 37 dwelling houses with access considered, Flats House, Scarah Lane, Burton Leonard HG3 3RS (PDA). 1.2 Previous LVIAs have been prepared by The Landscape Design Company,(LDC) and submitted to Harrogate Borough Council , for adjacent sites 16/01869/FUL (for the purposes of this report called Phase1) and 17/01006/OUTMAJ. These were on behalf of Burton Leonard Parish Council and Resident Group. Both these reports include impact assessments and cite the potential for cumulative effects should an application be submitted for the PDA site at a later date. Permission been obtained to utilise material taken from these reports. 2.0 Methodology In order to carry out the landscape appraisal of the proposals, The Landscape Design Company has carried out a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA). This is based on: specific techniques and good practice guidance on landscape and visual appraisal and the latest guidance on landscape character assessments, contained in Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, Third Edition. As a standalone ‘appraisal’ the process is defined in the guidelines as being informal but still applies the following approach: Specifying the nature of the proposed change or development Describing the existing landscape/townscape and the views and visual amenity in the area that may be affected Predicting the significance of effects. 2.1 The approach taken is proportional to the scale of the project with some areas being briefly covered, which on a larger project would be covered in detail. The report identifies and describes the main effects that are likely to occur and whether they are adverse or beneficial. Both moderate and major categories being considered as comprising significant effects. 2.2 The site was first visited 19th April 2017. Weather was dry and overcast. The majority of hedgerow species were partially or fully in leaf. The majority of trees were starting to come into leaf. Where appropriate, judgements about likely seasonal landscape and visual effects have been made based on professional experience. Additional visits were carried out July 2018 (Appeal hearing for 16/01869/FUL) and again in December 2018 for a revised submission for 17/01006/OUTMAJ. As part of this visit, a photographic record of hedgerows surrounding both field sites was undertaken and any changes which may influence the proposals noted. Given the time scale of this previous visit and continued updates from residents, a further visit in February was agreed as not being required at this stage. 2.3 The Applicant has not submitted a LVIA for this site, so for the purposes of this assessment the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment for 19/00068/OUTMAJ February 2019 R. Mitchell T/As The Landscape Design Company P a g e | 4 extents of the study area have been based on the previous LVIAs as noted above. At a distance of some 1.25km, south east from the centre of the site, undulating topography and vegetation cover restricted further views. Whilst there may be other views outside this study area, they are likely to be limited or only seen as a small element in a wider panorama. 2.4 Mapping site visibility was done using the manual approach, to produce a map indicating the Zone of Visual Influence (ZVI). See Appendix A. Within the extent of the ZVI, it would not be practical to illustrate the visual impact on every individual receptor affected by the scheme. Therefore representative viewpoints are used to access the impacts on the different range of views towards the site. These are shown on the ZVI plan and aerial photograph in Appendix A and B. 2.5 Unless otherwise indicated, photographs were taken with an Olympus E-M10 Mark II four thirds camera with a focal length set at 25mm which equates to 50mm using 35mm film. This is similar to a normal human field of view, although this field of view is extended where separate images are joined together as a panorama. Unless stated all photographs were taken in April 2017. 2.6 The following are terms used in the appraisal and are taken from the above Guidelines unless stated. Project description: siting, layout and other characteristics and components of the development on which the landscape and visual assessment will be based. Landscape Effects: effects on the landscape as a resource in its own right Visual Effects: effects on views and visual amenity as experienced by people Visual receptors: individuals and /or defined groups of people who have the potential to be affected by a proposal. Impact: the action being taken Effect: the change resulting from the action being taken Short term: up to 5 years, long term: 15 years plus. ( Timescales are not from guidelines ) 3.0 Planning Matters 3.1 Policy 3.1.1 Relevant Planning Policy and application history are dealt with fully in Arrowsmith Associates Ltd planning Statement. 3.1.2 Those Policies within the Harrogate District Core Strategy that are considered relevant to landscape Quality include: Policy SG4 ‘Settlement Growth Design and Impact’ which advises, that the visual, residential and general amenity of the area should be protected and where possible enhanced. It further considers that development with a significant adverse effect on visual amenity will be resisted. Saved Policy HD20, which sets out design principles that are to be met by the new development. These include making a positive contribution to an areas spatial quality, respecting local distinctiveness and respecting privacy and amenity of nearby residents 3.1.3 The site forms part of a larger area BL1, which was considered by Harrogate Borough Council (HBC) in the Natural and Built heritage Assessments carried out in October 2016 and assessed as follows: Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment for 19/00068/OUTMAJ February 2019 R. Mitchell T/As The Landscape Design Company P a g e | 5 Sensitivity Rating: High/medium – key distinctive characteristics are vulnerable to change; typically a high to medium valued landscape where landscape conditions is (sic) good where detracting features or major infrastructure is not present or where present has limited influence on the landscape. Orange Capacity Rating: Low – the area has very limited or no capacity to accommodate the type and scale of the development proposed and there are few if any opportunities for appropriate mitigation. Red Summary conclusion Site is of high sensitivity with some existing reference to the type of development being proposed. However the site is a major extension into the open landscape which is visually exposed and would impact on the setting of the village. The development would significantly extend the development footprint of the village to the south. Appropriate layout and mitigation measures would be difficult to achieve any meaningful reductions in landscape and visual effects. 3.1.4. BL1 was not included in the submission version of the Local Plan, for which the Examination Inspector is currently writing his report. It is outside current and proposed development limits. 3.2 Application History 3.2.1 This part of the field group, identified as BL1, was originally shown for housing development as Phase 2 (outline Application) within Application 16/01869/FULMAJ drawing ref SK15F, submitted on behalf of Loxley Homes. This plan shows the two phases of development with 40 units in phase1 and 37 in Phase 2. Phase 2 was later removed from Application 16/01869/FULMAJ and submitted as 16/01918/OUTMAJ but withdrawn in discussion with HBC. Housing density for Phase1 was subsequently reduced to 31 and the landscape buffer/ dog walking path, which borders Phase 2 retained, (reading very much as advance landscaping for a subsequent phase) but intended to provide a ‘bio security’ zone to protect the nearby SSSI from the effects of increased animal waste.

JUNE. 1922. DIED: 8. JANUARY. 2003. (80 YEARS OLD) ~ 4 ~ INTRODUCTION Dear Mum (You suffered with a Bi-Polar disorder for most of your adult life) I have a great need to write down the deep feelings I have for the part my Mum played in shaping my life. As you read on you may question and you may criticize, but hopefully you will understand, they are my feelings only, please respect them. For a big part of her life my Mum had an illness disorder known as “Bi-polar or Manic depression” The illness tends to run in families and appears to have a genetic link in fact this illness is and was prevalent in the Daulton family. So now what are you thinking? Some of you will immediately say “oh gosh” I don’t want to know and put this away in the too hard file. Some of you will read on through curiosity and respect and then file it. But I sincerely hope some of you will show a genuine interest and will openly and with deep concern continue on with your learning of this illness.

  • MS Dep 1980/1 Archives of the Dean and Chapter Of
    Handlist 47 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Archives of the Dean and Chapter of Ripon MS Dep 1980/1 The greater part of their accumulated archives was very generously deposited recently in the Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds by the Dean and Chapter of Ripon. It is hoped that by this arrangement the material will be more conveniently accessible to the majority of researchers. A few items, however, remain at Ripon because they are currently in use or are on permanent display to visitors. The cathedral was a parish church before it was raised to its present status and the parish registers are deposited at the North Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton. This list includes both the material remaining at Ripon and that at Northallerton. The archives of the Dean and Chapter have been listed twice before. A summary list was prepared for the Pilgrim Trust in 1946. A much fuller list was compiled for the National Register of Archives (Historical Manuscripts Commission) and issued in 1959. Upon the archives being inspected after their arrival at Leeds it was immediately apparent that the collection contained even more than had been listed in 1959, and it was decided with the ready concurrence of the Commission, that a new listing would be essential. This new list has been designed to avoid as much confusion as possible. It follows the style and numeration of the 1959 list and new entries have been inserted as close as possible to suitable places within its original framework. Some documents had identifications unrelated to the serial numbers used in that list; they have now been numbered to correspond and the additional items have been given appropriate subdivisions within the original notation.

  • Growth Strategy
    Harrogate District Local Plan: Publication Draft 2018 Harrogate District Growth Strategy Harrogate Borough Council 23 Harrogate District Local Plan: Publication Draft 2018 3 Harrogate District Growth Strategy Harrogate District Growth Strategy: Key Facts Household projections show household growth across the district of 11% between 2004-35, which is a lower level of growth than the region (15%) and England (20%). The three main urban areas of Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon support the largest concentrations of the district's population. Since the Harrogate District Local Plan was adopted in 2001 these settlements, together with the market towns of Boroughbridge, Masham and Pateley Bridge, have accommodated the majority of new growth. The district has a large rural area containing villages and hamlets ranging from larger villages with local services and facilities down to small clusters of houses. There is a need to ensure that rural settlements can continue to support local village services. The district has high levels of employment and the highest rate of business start-ups of any district within the Leeds City Region. The district’s residents are some of the most qualified in the north of England. The local economy has a number of prominent high-value sectors (including wholesale, professional services and media) alongside a thriving visitor economy. Despite high resident skill levels and average earnings, workplace wages in the district are considerably lower than the regional and national average, with a disproportionate skew in local employment towards low value sectors. In the west of the district lies the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which covers some 233 sq miles; more generally the district has high quality natural, built and historic environments.
