Path from Ash Lane north along the disused railway Line (the Fly Line) to pass 8 Hawkes Nest Wood and under the M1 to Aberford Path from Ash Lane west to Barwick Road parallel with the A642 and north of the 9 industrial buildings and Tesco. At least two paths travelling north from No 9 above across the farmland and waste 10 ground to meet the A1. Path from the A63 at Peckfield Bar north east across 1232b to reach the A656 Ridge 11 Road Path from the Ridge Road just north of the railway line and due east and parallel 12 with the railway to rwach East Garforth Railway station NOTES The paths are all well maintained at most times of the year. They are occasionally muddy during wet periods They seem to be well used and appreciated by the public though no survey has been carried out that I could find. Most paths are cycle friendly. Some are on cycle route 66 Cross Pennine..

Lockdown Miscellany', June 2020
G & K U3A History Group 'LOCKDOWN MISCELLANY', JUNE 2020. During the Coronavirus Lockdown the usual meetings and visits of the History Group were suspended. This Miscellany arose out of Zoom and email exchanges when members were sharing thoughts about local features of interest. Additional relevant information about the topics was found online. Peckfield Colliery Disaster, commemorated in Micklefield churchyard. Lizzie M. ‘I went for a walk where I’d not been before and came across Pit Lane. I got talking to someone about some lovely big old houses along there and was told they were the pit manager’s house and some of the workers’ houses. I asked where the pit used to be and from there Googled the information and found out about the disaster.’ Pat D. ‘Ashley Land is very knowledgeable about the Peckfield disaster. He has maps and history of the men who lost their lives. He was able to show me my Great Grandfather’s statement on retrieving his father’s body from the mine which was very moving.’ The Peckfield pit disaster was a mining accident at the Peckfield Colliery in Micklefield, which occurred on Thursday 30 April 1896, killing 63 men and boys out of 105 who were in the pit, plus 19 out of 23 pit ponies. The disaster is commemorated at Micklefield Church. Peckfield Colliery was owned by Messrs. Joseph Cliff and Sons, with Mr. Joseph Cliff being senior partner of the Micklefield Coal and Lime Company. Mr. Charles Houfton had been the manager since the colliery opened, and Mr. William Radford had been employed as the Under Manager for 17 years.

PNW00193 Outer North East No Agree with Proposed Use? HMCA
Ref: PNW00193 HMCA\Topic: Outer North East Subject: New site suggestion Address: Agree with proposed use? No Soundness Consider the plan sound? No Test of soundness addressed: Positively prepared Effective Justified Consistent with NPPF Comments on soundness: There is too little consideration of other projects in adjoining areas, as well as developments not covered by LCC. Specifically in the Garforth area, the developments in adjoining Parishes as well as Network Rail and HS2/3 planned developments do not seem to link together - in fact it stuns me that STILL we see maps coming out with potential sites for house building that appear to conflict with other plans from other agencies. Changes required to make sound: I have no issues with Garforth and the surrounding area being expanded but Garforth is at the centre for all such developments PLUS Garforth is the nearest town centre, has the closest railway station which serves fast trains as well as stopping services, PLUS it provides the significant connectivity between the M62/M1/A1/A64. Micklefield, Aberford, Kippax and other PCs may expand but if Garforth is the closest town with the closest amenities then the infrastructure needs significant investment and the abstraction of treating Aberford and Barwick as totally separate to Garforth and Kippax does not help. Suggestions: Create a new zone "Leeds East" consisting of Kippax & Methley, Garforth & Swillington, and Harewood ward south of the A64 such that Garforth is the central conurbation (see https://ukelect.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/leeds-v2.png) for illustration. At present Garforth is dependent on the M1 (2 junctions) and three other roads forming a triangle: Aberford/Wakefield Road, Ridge Road and the A63.

Having Read Leeds City Council's Response to Comments Received On
Having read Leeds City Council’s response to comments received on the traffic modelling I feel strongly I have to respond once again. Their response in my view is dismissive, disingenuous and actually postitively mis-leading in a number of areas. 1. "issues of soundness” and 2. “No party challenges,…the robustness of the modelling.” Parlington is a peculiar setting in that it’s almost land-locked and is isolated without any major roads leading to it and no roads cutting in and out of it with already overburdened rail provision and inadequate bus provision in the neighbouring township and villages. Whilst it has a bridlepath this is unlit and just a mud path basically. So it is currently unsuitable as a general commuting cycle path having dark unlit tunnels, being muddy underfoot and difficult to traverse in winter and as it is so isolated it's worrying to one’s personal safety as a lone walker or cyclist. The entrance to Parlington between Barwick and Garforth is from a rural road without paths and with a narrow bridge where traffic has to take turns to cross. This road then crosses over the M1. So the route from the proposed site is around 3 miles to Garforth railway station along an unlit road and is on-road. It’s neither practical nor sensible to walk along that road from Parlington to Garforth railway station - it would take an hour at an average walking speed (so too long for a walk to the local railway station). The transport modelling and LCC talk about infrastructure improvements being encouraged only by a very large development such as this but actually dismisses the difficulties the particulars of the terrain and roads around this proposed site.

Housing Character Assessment
GARFORTH TODAY HOUSING CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Introduction, Historical background and over-view Page 2 Area 1 - West Garforth Page 10 Area 2 - Church Garforth Page 17 Area 3 - Fairburn and Longmeadow Estates Page 21 Area 4 - East Garforth Page 26 Area 5 - Lotherton Industrial Estate Page 29 Area 6 - Oak Estate, Station Fields, The Crescent and The Oval Page 33 Area 7 - Main Street and Barrowby Lane Page 39 LAND CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Map of Areas Surveyed Page 51 Area Reports Page 51 to 66 Page 1 Garforth Housing Character Assessment Introduction This assessment attempts to record and express the character of Garforth as evidenced by the buildings, streets and pathways, topography and visual appearance of each area of the township. The origin of the name ‘Garforth’ is a choice between two accepted possibilities, both based on Norse roots. The first part comes either from ‘geirl’, meaning a triangular piece of land or from the name of a man, ‘Geir’, ‘Ger’ or ‘Gaer’. The second part refers unequivocally to a ford. The stream forded is today known as Sheffield Beck and was later bridged near that point – hence Garforth Bridge. The entry in Domesday Book (1086) was ‘Gereford’ and this or ‘Gerford’ was the way it was spelt during the 13th and 14th centuries. In the 15th century it became ‘Garford’. In 1559 it was ‘Garfurthe’, in 1603 ‘Garfurth’ and, finally, since 1632, ‘Garforth’. Wakefield Road Milestone Between 410 A.D. and 627 A.D. Garforth was a settlement of about 1000 acres in the Kingdom of Elmet just off The Magnesian Limestone Ridge - “The Cliff”.

18/06182/FU Construction of 52 Dwellings on Vacant Land
Originator: J.Bacon Tel: 0113 2224409 Report of the Chief Planning Officer NORTH AND EAST PLANS PANEL Date: 16th May 2019 Subject: 18/06182/FU Construction of 52 dwellings on vacant land; removal of Plot 99 and substitution of house types to Plots 98 and 100 of adjacent development at land off Kennet Lane, Garforth LS25. APPLICANT DATE VALID TARGET DATE Redrow Homes 12th October 2018 TBA Electoral Wards Affected: Specific Implications For: Garforth and Swillington Equality and Diversity Community Cohesion Yes Ward Members consulted Narrowing the Gap (referred to in report) RECOMENDATION: TO CONTEST THE APPEAL that has been made against the non- determination of the planning application for the following putative reasons: 1. Development of this proposed greenspace designation would be (unacceptably) premature, contrary to the advice given by the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) at Section 21b Paragraph 014. The Development would be contrary to a new greenspace designation in the (very advanced) Site Allocations Plan (SAP). The proposal would have an undermining and prejudicial effect upon the SAP with regards to designating greenspace, because it would predetermine decisions about the quantity and location of greenspace provision in the major settlement of Garforth. Even if the Development were not ‘premature’ for the purposes of the PPG, it would nonetheless be contrary to emerging policy under the SAP, having regard to paragraph 48 of the NPPF. 2. The proposed development would result in the loss of a significant area of greenfield land which plays an important visual, amenity and ecological role in an otherwise built up area. The proposal is not considered to adequately compensate for the loss of green space and results in a significant loss in area of the Leeds Habitat Network, adversely impacting on its integrity and connectivity.

It's a bit garbled but basically I think the issue with the Parlington plan is that it doesn't seem to fit into a masterplan that covers the surrounding area. 3.3. Why you think the Plan is sound / unsound: There is too little consideration of other projects in adjoining areas, as well as developments not covered by LCC. Specifically in the Garforth area, the developments in adjoining Parishes as well as Network Rail and HS2/3 planned developments do not seem to link together - in fact it stuns me that STILL we see maps coming out with potential sites for house building in east Leeds that appear to conflict with other plans from other agencies. 3.4. Change(s) you consider necessary to make the Plan sound: I have no issues with Garforth and the surrounding area being expanded provided green space is maintained to preserve the distinct identities of each settlement, but: * Garforth is at the centre of all such developments and will function as a hub * Garforth is also the nearest town centre * Garforth has the closest railway station which serves fast trains as well as stopping services * Garforth provides the significant connectivity between the M62/M1/A1/A64.
