The Government issued further guidance on planning for minerals in the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG), incorporating previous guidance on the Managed Aggregate Supply System (MASS). This report is the sixth LAA that aims to meet the requirements set out in both of these documents. It is based on sales information data covering the calendar years up to 2018. Landbank data is 2018-based. Sales and land bank information is sourced from annual surveys of aggregate producers in the Humber area (East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston upon Hull, North East Lincolnshire & North Lincolnshire), alongside data from the Yorkshire & Humber Aggregates Working Party Annual Monitoring Reports, planning applications, the Crown Estate, and the Environment Agency.

  • C DPM Records of Hull Magistrates Court C.1836-1995
    Hull History Centre: Records of Hull Magistrates Court C DPM Records of Hull Magistrates Court c.1836-1995 Historical background: Magistrates courts are the lowest level of courts in Enlgand, and is where alomst all criminal proceedings start. Hull was first granted the right to appoint its own magistrates, also known as Justices of the Peace (JPs), to deal with the summary cases, in 1440. More serious offences or indictable crimes would be passed to the quarter sessions or to the county assize, for capital cases. Despite the abolition of the old municipal corporation in 1836, the reformed borough was still able to select its own magistrates and hold its own courts, sometimes also known as police courts or petty sessions. This system continued until the reforms of the 1971 Courts Act, where the magistrate’s courts remained at lowest level, with the quarter sessions replaced by crown courts. The magistrate’s courts could also hear some civil cases, when county courts were established under the County Court Act 1846. They had jurisdiction over the recovery of debts and civil actions up to certain financial limits, including bankruptcy. Custodial History: The first group of records transferred to the City Archives were selected by the Clerk to the Magistrates at the Hull and Holderness Magistrates Courts in 1986, with another series of licensing records, C DPM/24 and C DPM/43-44, transferred in September 1993. C DPM/47 was transferred in January 2008 from the Hull County Court. C DPM/5/10- 12, C DPM/7/37-39, C DPM/24/2-5 and C DPM/48-49 were transferred in December 2016 from the Hull and Holderness Courts.

Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that the purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development including the delivery of a wide choice of high quality homes and to boost significantly the supply of housing. 1.2 Local Planning Authorities should have a clear understanding of the supply of housing land in their area. A Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment should establish realistic assumptions about the availability, suitability and likely economic viability of land to meet the identified need for housing over the plan period. 1.3 This SHLAA 2016 has been produced in accordance with the NPPF and National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). 1.4 National Planning Practice Guidance identifies that an assessment should: • identify sites and broad locations with potential for development; • assess their development potential; and • assess their suitability for development and the likelihood of development coming forward (the availability and deliverability/achievability).
