Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award.

  • County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification

    County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification

    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE LANDSCAPE CLASSIFICATION The Landscape Classification The County Durham Landscape Character Assessment identifies landscape types and character areas at three different levels - the regional, the sub-regional and the local. Regional County Character Areas Sub-regional Broad Landscape Types Broad Character Areas See Table 1 Local Local Landscape Types See Table 2 Local Sub-types County Character Areas. County Character Areas are based on Natural England’s Countryside Character Areas. There are 6 Countryside Character Areas in County Durham, all of which extend beyond its administrative boundaries. County Character Areas are effectively those parts of Countryside Character Areas lying within the County. The boundaries of County Character Areas are more precisely drawn than those of Countryside Character Areas as they are based on a more detailed level of assessment. In reality the boundaries between these broad landscape zones are often gradual and progressive and difficult to identify precisely on the ground. The character of County Character Areas may differ in some ways from that of the larger Countryside Character Areas to which they belong. The descriptions of County Character Areas given here in the Landscape Assessment may therefore be slightly different to the descriptions given in other publications for Countryside Character Areas. Broad Landscape Types and Character Areas Broad Landscape Types are landscapes with similar patterns of geology, soils, vegetation, land use, settlement and field patterns identified at a broad sub-regional level. As with County Character Areas, the boundaries between Broad Landscape Types are not always precise, as the change between one landscape and another can be gradual and progressive.

    Newsletter #14 Dec 2017

    THE KIPLING FAMILY HISTORY NEWSLETTER #14 DEC 2017 Welcome to the third newsletter of the year. There’s a new story about the Kiplings of Ripon, with a branch that settled in Lincoln. Also completion of the Baldersdale Kiplings story and a few other odds and ends to read over the festive season. The Kiplings of Ripon and Lincoln Robert Kipling, origins uncertain, was living at Alne near Ripon in Yorkshire by 1719, when he acquired property at Skelton -on-Ure near Ripon. He was described as being a ‘gentleman’. It is not clear who Robert was, but it is possible that he was the son, baptised at Winston (County Durham) in 1680, of Timothy Kipling. See “Timothy Kpling – Secretary to John Locke”. On Robert’s early death in 1728, his three young children were left orphaned. Son Alexander remained in Skelton, where he was eligible to vote in the 1741 election He, too, died relatively young and the family then seems to have dispersed. Son Alexander moving to Lincoln, son Charles to York and son Robert remaining in Skelton, later moving to Ripon itself dying there in 1822. The full story can be found at http://genealogy.kipling.me.uk/The%20Kiplings%20of%20Skelton.pdf Part of the tale of the Lincoln branch has already been written down in “A Kipling of the Oldest Profession” and the rest is now told in “Lincoln 1911”. Alexander was a saddler, as the Universal British Directory of 1791 tells us. His son Jospeh was a butcher – and at one stage an inspecor of proper butchery or hide trade practice.

    Minerals and Waste Core Strategy

    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Core Strategy DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i ii Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. This Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The separate Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with it, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.
