    Draft 5/4/16 POOL OF SITE OPTIONS WITH POTENTIAL FOR RESIDENTIAL OR MIXED USE AND SUSTAINABILITY APPRAISAL CONSULTATION DOCUMENT Approved by Craven Spatial Planning Sub- Committee 4th April 2016 1 Pool of Site Options with Potential for Residential and Mixed Use Consultation Document 1. The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) Process 1.1 A SHLAA is a technical exercise to assess the amount of land that could be made available for housing development. It is part of the evidence base that will inform the local plan making process. Under the SHLAA process, Craven District Council records and assesses land and premises in Craven (outside the national park) that a landowner/developer has demonstrated is available for development. The SHLAA identifies land that may be capable of meeting development needs. Where evidence indicates that more land than is in the SHLAA may be required for new homes, the Council proactively invites more land to be put forward for consideration. 2. Site Allocations Methodology 2.1 As part of identifying sites that are suitable for housing requirements, the Council’s Planning Policy team undertook work between January to March 2016 in a series of stages, so that a pool of sites could be identified as potentially suitable for housing development from the overall list of sites put forward. A template of the Site Allocations Methodology is attached. A Sustainability Appraisal was also carried out on all of the sites put forward. This process of work is described as follows: 2.2 Stage 1: From the selection

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

  • Ale Trail of Cross Hills Area
    An area with several pubs, served by Keighley Bus Company, includes Kildwick, Cross Hills, Sutton and Eastburn. These are villages on Dalesway bus route number 66, between Keighley and Skipton. There are seven Real Ale bars on the bus route in this area. The pubs are within walking distance of each other, but it is possible to catch the bus between them if preferred. Buses run twice an hour during the day on Monday to Saturday, hourly evenings and Sundays. The best ticket to buy is a KDay ticket, which can be bought on board Keighley Bus Company services at a cost of £4.50 or via the Transdev Go web app. These tickets can also be used on the Burnley Bus Company M4 between Colne and Keighley. Up to date information about bus times and route maps can be found at: https://www.transdevbus.co.uk/keighley/services. There is no favoured route so this article will describe a route from Kildwick to Eastburn. 1. This is a Pickles Pub Company pub, near Kildwick church. It normally sells Saltaire Blonde and Taylor’s Landlord. Closed Mondays & Tuesdays (except Bank Holiday) open at 4pm Wednesday & Thursday, 3pm Fridays and all-day Saturday & Sunday. On leaving the pub head towards the river and, after crossing the river, look for a footpath on your right and follow it as it goes next to the river and under the road bridge, so avoiding crossing this very busy road. Turn right into Station Road and look out for Naylor’s Brewery on your left.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.
