Infrastructure planning - legislative, policy and wider context 5 4. Methodology 8 5. Scoping 9 6. Baseline infrastructure assessments 12 7. Infrastructure delivery schedule 45 Appendix A Housing allocations 59 Appendix B Mobile telecommunications sites in Middlesbrough 61 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Produced in line with national planning policy (see paragraphs 3.2 - 3.4 for more details), this Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) provides details of infrastructure needed to support future growth as a result of the Local Plan - Housing, including the type, timing and potential costs of infrastructure. 1.2 The IDP is intended to be a 'living' document, with its content monitored on a regular basis (in all likelihood alongside the Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report [AMR]) and updated as appropriate, in order to reflect changing circumstances, including when any new Local Development Documents (LDDs) are produced as part of the overarching Local Plan. To remain up-to-date, a flow of information from (internal [i.e. Council) and external) service providers to the Planning Policy team will be required on a regular basis. 1.3 The IDP does not include every infrastructure project planned in Middlesbrough or provide a list of planning obligations; it only includes those that will help to deliver the development (i.e. housing) proposed by the Local Plan - Housing or contribute towards the creation of sustainable communities. It does, however, identify areas where gaps in provision exist or are likely to exist over the plan period.

  • Manse Farm Rail Station Study
    Harrogate District Sites and Policies DPD: Manse Farm Rail Station Study May 2013 Foreword The Manse Farm Rail Station study has been prepared following advice and guidance from Network Rail and provides the first step in the consideration of a potential new station at Manse Farm, Knaresborough. The study was commissioned jointly by Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council and prepared by Arup. This work has been undertaken over a period of several years and has involved detailed discussion with the rail industry during this time. The report represents a technical piece of work undertaken at a particular stage in the development of the Local Plan reflecting the requirements of the rail industry. References to the Sites and Policies DPD therefore refer to an earlier stage in the plan preparation process. Provision of a station to the east of Knaresborough has been a long term aim of the Council and a site is currently allocated in the Harrogate District Local Plan (2001) to the west of Manse Farm on an embankment and in a location with limited space to provide facilities such as car parking. Background work has therefore been undertaken for the Sites and Policies DPD to investigate the business case for providing a new rail station and car park as part of the Draft Allocation for a mixed use urban extension at Manse Farm, Knaresborough (K2b) further to the east. The Leeds‐ Harrogate –York Railway Line forms this site’s northern boundary. The line is recognised as a regionally significant transport link within the Leeds City Region and North Yorkshire, facilitating access to labour markets in Leeds, Harrogate and York as well as providing connectivity with regional and intercity services at York and Leeds.

  • HARROGATE LINE SUPPORTERS GROUP - NEWS BULLETIN No
    HARROGATE LINE SUPPORTERS GROUP - NEWS BULLETIN No. 22a RESPONSE TO NORTHERN RAILWAY CONSULTATION ON HARROGATE LINE SUMMARY The current Northern Rail proposals for extra trains on the Harrogate Line between Leeds and Harrogate from December 2017 will not meet the expectations and the practical needs of the many businesses, students and residents in Harrogate and north-west Leeds. The current draft timetable shows the extra trains stopping only at Leeds, Horsforth and Harrogate, omitting the other five intermediate stations. This will deny nearly 40% of the route's regular users at Burley Park, Headingley, Weeton, Pannal and Hornbeam Park stations from benefiting from the additional services. The four trains per hour promised for the Harrogate line should be a 15 minute interval walk- up service all day, with all trains stopping at all stations just like the London Overground. This is the key to getting people out of their cars because there is no perceived requirement for a timetable and the perceived wait time is always less than about 10 minutes. This approach is tried and tested and has resulted in significant levels of growth in ridership elsewhere across the UK. Generalized journey times (including waiting time) experienced by users fall significantly because of the increased frequencies. It is a proven, tried and tested highly successful approach which stimulates sustainable modal shift from car to train. What is the real benefit of saving the 6 or 7 minutes for passengers travelling directly between Leeds and Harrogate when it omits a significant section of the underlying demand by missing all station stops except Horsforth? Furthermore, the proposed intervals between services are not evenly spaced, thus destroying the value of the originally conceived 15" interval "walk-up" approach which significantly reduced generalized journey times by providing services at double the existing frequency.

  • Yorkshire Rail Campaigner Number 41 – June 2018
    Yorkshire Rail Campaigner Number 41 – June 2018 Yorkshire President: Alan Whitehouse Vice-Presidents: Mike Crowhurst & Alan Williams Freight & Logistics – TfN’s Plan By Mark Parry Lucy Hudson, Transport for the North’s (TfN) lead on Freight and Logistics, outlined the view ahead at our branch meeting on 14 April 2018. Transport for the North has been considering transport policies in terms of generating economic growth. Freight and Logistics is a key part of this strategy and they have been looking at developing key corridors. Currently 88% of tonnage is carried by road and only 11% by rail. They think that more could be carried by air as well as by rail and are determining where more rail freight paths are needed. Lucy Hudson – photo by Mark Parry An example of how freight rail transport could be improved is the transporting of biomass to Drax, where trains take 7 hours from Liverpool. Going by road is much quicker because trains have to take a circuitous route. There is potential for rail freight to take business away from some coastal shipping but roads are more competitive. For example, a diesel lorry bought in 2039 can be used after 2040, but no diesel trains can run after 2040. Greater viability is required, in Rotterdam freight journeys as short as 30Km are economical. There will be a scrutiny process before any decisions are made and it is likely this will drive a need for further consultation. Suggestions of routes to be re-opened would be considered. There were other issues that Lucy mentioned of more general interest.

  • Northern Sparks
    Northern Sparks Report of the North of England Electrification Task Force March 2015 Foreword by Andrew Jones MP Chair of the North of England Electrification Task Force Welcome to the report of the North of England Electrification Task Force. Our brief was to prioritise the rail lines of the North of England for future electrification and we have done that. The thirty-two lines of the Northern Rail and TransPennine Express franchise areas currently without electrification have all been considered and prioritised. The results have been grouped into three tiers, with Tier One being the most immediate priority. We have placed economic growth at the centre of our work. The Task Force agreed early on that the economic benefits of electrification would be the dominant factor in our assessments. We have worked on the premise that all the lines of the North would be electrified, it is only a question of when. This report is a team effort. That team has come from across the North; bringing together different regions, different political parties and different tiers of government. And it has been a harmonious and unanimous effort throughout. It is from the North for the North. It is to be seen in the context of the government’s investment in the electrification of our rail network. It is also to be seen in the context of the Northern Powerhouse and the work to drive the economy of the North of England. I would like to thank all the Task Force members - Julie Hilling MP, Ian Swales MP, The Leader of Bradford City Council (Cllr Dave Green) and the Leader of Warrington Borough Council (Cllr Terry O’Neill) – for all their hard work and enthusiasm.

  • Tram-Trains Or Heavy Rail
    Harrogate Line: Tram-Trains or Heavy Rail A summary of the advantages & disadvantages of alternative rolling stock on the Harrogate Line between Leeds, Harrogate and the Airport TRAM-TRAIN DIRECT TO THE AIRPORT? This paper outlines the current plans and initiatives already being implemented for the Leeds-Harrogate- York rail corridor which could be jeopardised by the Tram-trains proposed by Greg Mulholland MP for Leeds North-West. He proposes that new tram-trains should be used on street-running track within Leeds City Centre, which would then share the Harrogate Line heavy rail track to beyond Horsforth where a new light rail track would be laid up to the Airport Terminal Building and potentially onward to Bradford. The disadvantages of tram-trains are summarised on pages 2 & 3. HARROGATE LINE PLANS CURRENTLY BEING IMPLEMENTED • The existing 30 min. frequency services between Leeds and Harrogate are being enhanced to an all-day 15 min. frequency in the current Northern Rail franchise from December 2017. • It is expected that a 10 minute frequency will be required to meet peak demand during the next decade. • The planned rolling stock will be provided using refurbished 100mph Class 170 diesel multiple units (DMUs) cascaded from Scotrail plus refurbished Class 150 DMUs from the existing Northern Rail fleet. These will provide a significant increase in the net volume of seats available to commuters when the new timetable is implemented in [2018] • Virgin Trains East Coast will also operate new services between London and Harrogate at two- hourly intervals from 2019. These will be operated using the new high speed IEP trains now being built by Hitachi.

  • Brief History of the Selby & Driffield Railway
    BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SELBY & DRIFFIELD RAILWAY Prior to the building of railways, farmers in the East Riding of Yorkshire had to rely on water transport to get their produce to market. The rivers Humber and Ouse, linking York and Selby with the docks at Hull, had always been navigable, and the River Derwent was made navigable by an Act of 1701. The Market Weighton Canal, running south from Market Weighton to the Humber estuary, opened in 1778; the Pocklington Canal, running west from Pocklington to the River Derwent, opened in 1818. It was not long, however, before the arrival of railways would ensure the rapid decline in waterborne transport in the area. The Leeds & Hull Railway Company was formed in 1824 with George Stephenson appointed as engineer. He proposed three inclined planes to be worked by three stationary engines for the hilly route out of Leeds, but the remainder of the line was very nearly level. This L&HR was one of a number of contemporary projects aimed at linking the east and west sides of northern England. The Leeds & Hull scheme soon stagnated, due in part to the stock market crash of 1825. In the meantime the Knottingley & Goole Canal opened in 1826, turning Goole into a viable transhipment port for Europe. The growth of Goole as a port to rival Hull was sufficient to spur the Hull-based shareholders of the Leeds & Hull railway into action. At the end of 1828 they motioned that the railway should be built as far as Selby, with the remainder of the journey to Hull being made by steam packet, most importantly, bypassing Goole.

  • National Infrastructure Commission Call for Evidence Rail Needs Assessment for the Midlands and North
    National Infrastructure Commission Call for Evidence Rail Needs Assessment for the Midlands and North Executive Summary Sustainable connected places are essential to support thriving communities. Never has this been more apparent than right now as our nation responds and indeed looks to recovering from one of our greatest challenges yet. How we choose to do that nationally as a United Kingdom and locally as the Leeds City Region can pivot us on a new more sustainable trajectory which we have been pursuing. Our response to the call for evidence covers both national and local infrastructure requirements and what could be delivered earlier to bring wider benefits. What we require is a plan for long term project delivery to address the following: Sustainable inclusive economic growth which helps deliver decarbonisation and drives recovery and rebalancing post Covid19. Delivering on local and national capacity and choice for rail passengers. Increased capacity for freight. A sequencing plan to deliver benefits much earlier and as they arise. Whilst the following projects are all required, it is their collective ability to plug connectivity gaps that will enable the above objectives to be met and hence the need for an overarching plan to ensure that happens and happens quickly. The Trans Pennine route upgrade is long overdue and the uncertainty around the other projects does not help investment decisions and confidence in our economy. We suffer from severe constraints on our network, particularly the routes into and through Leeds and this is a good example of where each project is only taking a project specific view at the moment.
