Scopes, Mrs. M. Sharpe and Mr. R.J.W. Winfield 1. Chairman's Opening Remarks – Christine Thornton thanked the members present for their attendance and observed that it had been chilly during the day. She regretted to draw the attention to the meeting to the sudden death, at home, on 8th March of a former Forum Committee member, Pauline Johnson, who had undertaken various duties on behalf of the Forum over the years . She noted that the display of photographs which had been assembled in relation to the Forum's 20th anniversary includes a photograph of Pauline doing the Forum's raffle . Christine Thornton added that the meeting will include a celebration of the Forum's 20th Anniversary and that a cake had been purchased in connection with this . She noted that it had been envisaged that Ken Burton , of the Beeston Local History Society would make a presentation dealing with the history of Beeston. Unfortunately she noted that Ken Burton had been compelled to return home as a result of the illness of his wife, Sandra. The presentation would instead be made by Jane Poulter, a fellow member of the Beeston Local History Society . 2. Apologies for absence have been received from Councillor Gohar Almass , Ken Burton and Sandra Burton 3. The Beeston Neighbourhood Plan. Christine Thornton introduced Ian Mackay , the Neighbourhood Planning Officer of Leeds City Council who noted that Beeston had been designated as a Neighbourhood Area in 2014. However, progress has been slow in preparing the Neighbourhood Plan . However, last year, Ian Mackay had put together a project team of volunteers. Members of this project team had met with committee members of the Beeston Forum in December. This had been a good meeting . The project team has met on three occasions since . He noted that the project team includes two Leeds City Council officers , two students from Leeds Beckett 1 University , one planning consultant who is a former planning lecturer and a recent graduate from Sheffield University. There is a draft plan setting out a number of ideas and options . Ian Mackay noted that this is a better way to draw up a Neighbourhood Plan , but it must be the Forum's plan. The Forum supports and endorses it . Ian Mackay noted that the Project Team has been out a few times walking down side streets. He had done this on one occasion ; on other occasions , the students involved in the project team have done this . Ian Mackay noted that a Neighbourhood Plan can protect green spaces . He added that he feels quite strongly about small green spaces in inner city areas . Nine such green spaces, none of which are apparently protected, had been identified in Beeston. Pam Jones noted that the team undertaking walkabouts in connection with the Neighbourhood Plan had discovered places which they did not previously know exist. Ian Mackay noted that some Forum members feel strongly about multiple occupation houses, houses for special needs and affordable housing in general. A Neighbourhood Plan can allocate a site for housing or have a positive policy . It can look at situations and come back with more detail . A Neighbourhood Plan can also have restrictive policy for larger houses and standards . Ian Mackay said that there will be a meeting of the Project Team on 18th April to finish off the document which is being prepared . It is then intended to invite a group of Forum members to Merrion House at the end of April or in May . The Forum would be able to bring anyone whom it wishes to the meeting . He added that the Independent Consultant named Ying, is giving his services for free . There is also a Masters student . Following the meeting, the Forum will then select what it likes and what it does not like . Ian Mackay envisaged that public engagement about these ideas will then take place during June and July. He noted that August is a difficult month for engagement. It is hoped that a draft Neighbourhood Plan can be produced by the end of the year with consultation on the draft plan taking place in early 2020 . The referendum would take place in late 2020 . Richard Bell observed that this requires an immense amount of work. Ian Mackay felt that although this is no criticism of the Forum, Neighbourhood Planning had not been set up in a way which is advantageous for communities such as Beeston , but rather for market towns and parished areas . 4. The minutes of the Forum meeting held on 7th March 2019 were accepted as a fair and accurate record of the meeting 5. Matters Arising 5.1 Concourse House- Robert Winfield took the opportunity to report two items of correspondence in relation to this matter . Firstly , he had received an e mail, dated 27th February from Chris Sanderson of the Leeds City Council Planning Enforcement Department , who had undertaken a site visit on 25th February . He explained that as a result of the site visit, he would be writing to the tenants requesting the removal of the banners within 14 days, otherwise his department would initiate prosecution. Secondly, Robert Winfield noted that Ken Hewson had written to the Prime Minister about the situation ., He received a response from the Department of Housing Communities and Local Government explaining that a retrospective planning application can only be accepted where a genuine mistake had occurred, or where there is no damage to the amenity. Robert Winfield observed that it is absolutely clear that there has been damage to the amenity, and , considering the circumstances , it is unlikely that a mistake has occurred . Additionally, an enforcement notice can be served where there is no planning permission, or where a planning condition has been breached . Following receipt of this response, Robert Winfield noted that the Committee had resolved to make a formal complaint about Leeds City Council's handling of the matter . The complaint makes a number of points including why no enforcement action had been taken when it was clear that the tenants of the building planned to operate a snooker centre (for example when it was known that snooker tables were being taken in the building ) 5.2 Councillor Andrew Scopes noted that he had received an e mail earlier in the day informing him that the planning application for the snooker hall had been refused on general amenity grounds, the impact on properties and highway safety. He noted that an application to regularise the banners outside the building was likely to be refused or withdrawn. Andrew Scopes added that the applicant has the right to appeal against the rejection of the planning application , but their intentions in this connection were unknown. An enforcement notice would be made next week. Andrew Scopes noted that one challenge faced by the enforcement team is that if enforcement action is carried out, the applicant could claim that this amounts to predetermination of the planning application . Robert Winfield noted that Councillor Angela Gabriel had made this point at the last Forum meeting . Jane Poulter noted that lights on the building had been on at 4am . Angela Gill said that she wants the tenants out of the building . Christine Thornton noted that we are heading in the right direction . 5.3 Rosemary Casserley noted that a meeting of the Southleigh Residents Association , at which Councillor Andrew Scopes, and representatives of the Police and Cockburn School . The police and school been positive and felt that the snooker centre is great for the children. Angela Gill said that she could not believe this , and noted that there had been drugs and car parking outside . PCSO Robinson noted that the police had received no calls about the matter . Angela Gill, however noted that she had made a number of 101 calls and sent a number of e mails . PC Tom Cameron said that the police had received nothing this month, and emphasised that the police still need reports of any law breaking. Angela Gill said that she would send an e mail . Colin Hendrick Ward noted that there is a massive disparity between people who think what should be happening and people who witnessed that happening . Jane Poulter said that hardly any young people are going in early . People tend to arrive at midnight and leave at 4am . She suspected that people arrive when other clubs have closed.

    Friends Meeting House, Carlton Hill 188 Woodhouse Lane, LS2 9DX National Grid Reference: SE 29419 34965 Statement of Significance A modest meeting house built in 1987 that provides interconnecting spaces which create flexible, spacious and well-planned rooms which can be used by both the Quakers and community groups. The meeting house has low architectural interest and low heritage value. Evidential value The current meeting house is a modern building with low evidential value. However, it was built on the site of an earlier building dating from the nineteenth century, and following this a tram shed. The site has medium evidential value for the potential to derive information relating to the evolution of the site. Historical value The meeting house has low historical significance as a relatively recent building, however, Woodhouse Lane provides a local context for the history of Quakers in the area from 1868. Aesthetic value This modern building has medium aesthetic value and makes a neutral contribution to the street scene. Communal value The meeting house was built for Quaker use and is also a valued community resource. The building is used by a number of local groups and visitors. Overall the building has high communal value.

The science of history is perhaps the highest of all the sciences, inasmuch as its object is to make us acquainted with man in the exercise of his most divine faculties, whether for good or for evil, with the progress of his mental culture, in a word, with the development of his destiny ; it prepares him for the future by the knowledge of the past. Moreover, man seems to have a natural tendency to the study of history, he seeks with eagerness to trace the revolutions of peoples and kingdoms which are known to him, he is anxious to become acquainted with the history of his own country, and, r F Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on October 1, 2021 360 to restrict still more the field of inquiry, who is there who is not curious to learn something of those who have inhabited in former times the place in which he was bom, or in which he lives, and of the events in which they were engaged ? It was for this reason that, when asked to read a paper before the Geological and Polytechnic Society, I chose for my subject the early history of Leeds and of the district surrounding it, Leeds has, during the whole known historic period, been a place of considerable importance.
