Design, Access, Planning and Heritage Statement for Erection of 4 dwellings, a detached garage & associated landscaping (retrospective) & proposed outbuilding (alteration) At Manor Garth, School Lane, Holmpton East Yorkshire, HU19 2QS DATE: February 2021 REF: LENNY 02 2021 LENNY 02 2021 - Page 1 INTRODUCTION This statement has been based on the best guidance issued by CABE to accompany the Government publication ‘Guidance on changes to the development control system.’ To be read in conjunction with plans as retained / proposed submitted with this Design, Access, Planning & Heritage Statement. BACKGROUND INFORMATION DESCRIPTION Erection of 4 dwellings, a detached garage and associated landscaping (retrospective) and proposed outbuilding (alterations) at Manor Garth, School lane, Holmpton, East Yorkshire, HU19 2QS APPLICANT Mr M Lenny AGENT Frank Hill & Son (Architectural Services) Ltd, 18 Market Place, Patrington, HU12 0RB LENNY 02 2021 - Page 2 DESIGN ASSESMENT EXISTING SITE PHOTOS The red circle denotes the location the site at the junction between School Lane and Out Newton Road. LENNY 02 2021 - Page 3 PHYSICAL CONTEXT Holmpton is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Withernsea town centre and 3 miles (4.8 km) east of the village of Patrington. It lies just inland from the North Sea coast. According to the 2001 UK census, Holmpton parish had a population of 193 which since the census will have increased to around 300. The parish church of St Nicholas is a Grade II listed building. The image below taken from Google Earth shows the site (outlined in red), in relation to the rest of the village built environment. The village is popular with buyers seeking a rural location surrounded by countryside as well as being close to the coast. This individualistic feature of the village sets it apart from other surrounding areas. With this in mind the proposed will undoubtedly become a key benefit to the village serving the rising need for detached family housing in rural location. The development supports the demand for families that require new homes that are well within the commuting umbrella of Hull, whilst being surrounded by open space and the natural beauty of the countryside. LENNY 02 2021 - Page 4 PHYSICAL CONTEXT continued With regards to sustainability, the village is ideal for people wishing to travel to the nearby Town such as Withernsea and rural service centre such as Patrington and primary village such as Easington. The nearby town of Withernsea boasts an abundance of work opportunities, shops, schools, doctors surgeries and more, is located less than 4 miles. An industrial park located on the west side of Withernsea, within 5 miles of Holmpton, offers work opportunities as well as opportunities to create new businesses through renting one of the industrial units available on the site. The nearby rural service centre village includes: Patrington – less than 5 miles away, offers a range of employment opportunities, together with a school, a full range of shops, pubs and restaurants. The nearby primary rural village includes: Easington – just over 5 miles away, is the site of large natural gas terminal, Easington Gas Terminal, used for the Langeled pipeline, as well as three other gas terminals operated by BP and Centrica. This is a major employment source for the area with around 250 skilled workers on- and off-shore. The nearby village of Roos is just 8 miles away and offers a full range of employment opportunities, together with a school, a full range of shops, pubs and doctors surgery. Holmpton has a good direct bus network to and from Withernsea, Patrington and Easington allowing a sustainable commute to and from nearby employment areas. Bus services as regular as hourly run from Patrington to BP Chemicals complex and the City of Hull, a major employment area, allowing a multitude of possible work opportunities via public transport. The image below shows the bus service 71 (Withernsea – Easington) and the frequency with which it passes through the village in both directions. LENNY 02 2021 - Page 5 LENNY 02 2021 - Page 6 POLICY CONTEXT THE NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK Planning policy at the national level has been significantly revised in recent years through the introduction of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and withdrawal of virtually all the Planning Policy Statements and Guidance Notes. The NPPF does not supersede existing development plan policies (considered below) but where these are absent, silent, out of date, or contain conflicting policies, it should be relied upon by Local Planning Authorities (LPA’s) to help determine planning applications. A presumption in favour of sustainable development is identified as being a “golden thread” running through the NPPF and, for decision-taking this means that proposals that accord with the development plan (or the NPPF where appropriate) should be approved without delay (par a.14). One of the “core planning principles” identified within the NPPF requires LPAs to “…meet the housing, business and other development needs of an area” (para 17) while para 19 states that “Planning should operate to encourage and not to act as an impediment to sustainable growth”. Paragraph 28 is concerned with providing support for the rural economy and states that “Planning policies should support economic growth in rural areas….by taking a positive approach to sustainable new development” and that LPAs should “promote the retention and development of local services and community facilities in villages….” Para’s 47 - 55 are concerned with the delivery of a wide choice of high quality homes, while para’s 56 - 68 require good design to be a component part of new development. Para 69 states that “The planning system can play an important role in facilitating social interaction and creating healthy, inclusive communities” Paragraphs 126 - 141 are concerned with the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment, including conservation areas. Para 128 states that applicants for planning permission in historic areas, should identify the heritage assets involved and provide an assessment sufficient to understand the potential impact of their proposals upon them. Comment: The retained dwellings are located sustainably within an existing settlement and will make a positive contribution towards sustainability objectives, including the maintenance of local services, businesses, and facilities in a rural area. The retained dwellings will increase the choice of dwellings open to people wishing to move into the area. Design and heritage aspects are discussed elsewhere in this statement. LENNY 02 2021 - Page 7 REGIONAL PLANNING POLICIES EAST RIDING LOCAL PLAN STRATEGY DOCUMENT (2016) S1 A. When considering development proposals the Council will take a positive approach that reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework. It will work proactively with applicants to find solutions which mean that proposals can be approved wherever possible, and to secure development that improves the economic, social and environmental conditions in the East Riding of Yorkshire. B. Protect the diverse character, skyline and views of the rolling tops of the Yorkshire Wolds. The Local Plan should be read as a whole. Planning applications that accord with the policies in the Local Plan will be approved without delay, unless material considerations indicate otherwise - taking into account whether: 1.Any adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole; or 2. Specific policies in that Framework indicate that development should be restricted. S4 A. Outside of the settlements listed in Policy S3, development will be supported to help maintain the vibrancy of Villages and the Countryside where it is: 1. Of an appropriate scale; 2. Prioritises the re-use of previously developed land; 3. Does not involve a significant loss of best and most versatile agricultural land; and 4. Does not compromise the general approach set out in Policy S3. Villages B. Within the development limits of Villages (listed in Appendix B), the following forms of development will be supported where it does not detract from the character and appearance of the village: 1. New housing, usually comprising a single dwelling; 2. Affordable housing for local people; 3. New and/or enhanced local services and facilities; and 4. Economic development. C. The development limits for the Villages are set out on the Policies Map. Countryside D. Outside of a development limit, land will be regarded as the Countryside and the following forms of development encouraged, where proposals respect the intrinsic character of their surroundings: 1. Conversion of buildings for economic development (including work-live units), tourism, community or residential uses. Conversions for new housing will be supported where the preservation of the building would enhance the immediate setting and where it: (i) would represent the optimal use of a heritage asset or would be appropriate enabling development to secure the future of a heritage asset; or (ii) would re-use a redundant or disused building. 2. Replacement dwellings; LENNY 02 2021 - Page 8 3. New dwellings of exceptional quality or of truly outstanding innovative design; 4. Affordable housing for local people; 5. Agricultural, forestry or other rural-based occupational dwellings subject to demonstrating an essential need. Such dwellings will be subject to an agricultural occupancy condition; 6. Employment uses in accordance with Policy EC2; 7. Agricultural and forestry uses; 8. Essential infrastructure; 9. Energy development and associated infrastructure, where a countryside location is required for operational reasons; 10. Development to support existing military defence operations; and 11. Sports, equine, recreation, community and tourism facilities. Comment The proposed site falls mostly within the defined development limits of Holmpton and wholly within the village’s conservation area.

  • Migration in East Yorkshire in the Eighteenth Century

    Migration in East Yorkshire in the Eighteenth Century

    MIGRATION IN EAST YORKSHIRE IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Henry S. Woledge and Michael A. Smale Henry Woledge graduated in geography and geology at Keele University and after early retirement from a career in town and country planning has pursued his interest in local history. Michael Smale, a graduate of Oxford and York Universities, is currently working towards a PhD at Hull University, focusing upon migration into later nineteenth-century Hull. Introduction The system of relief for the needy poor in England and Wales, which operated from the sixteenth century, has left a wealth of records. A prominent element of the system, from 1662 onwards but with continual modifications, was that relief was provided by the parish where people were ‘settled’, and in the eighteenth century they were liable to be ‘removed’ back to that parish in order to obtain relief.1 The resulting documents are essentially of four types: settlement certificates, settlement examinations, removal orders and appeal orders. Certificates were provided by the parish of settlement, accepting responsibility in case of need, to enable a person to move to live and work in another parish. Examinations were made to establish where a person’s settlement was: taken under oath (but nevertheless not always truthful) they vary from the minimal (for example, 3 May 1790 John Hare. Settlement at Nunburnholme)2 to detailed accounts of relevant information,3 especially in the 19th century. Removal orders were the legal means of moving people to their place of settlement and give the date, the people concerned, the places removed from and to, often the status of women (singlewoman, wife, widow) and sometimes the ages of children.

    U DPA Patrington Manorial Records 1577-1829 of the Marshall Family

    Hull History Centre: Patrington Manorial records of the Marshall Family U DPA Patrington Manorial records 1577-1829 of the Marshall Family Historical background: The manor of Patrington in the East Riding of Yorkshire belonged to the archbishops of York until 1545 until it passed into the hands of the crown. It was held by the crown until 1631 when Charles I assigned it to Henrietta Maria, so keeping it in royal hands. During the interregnum it was leased to Matthew Alured, MP for Hedon, but at the restoration it reverted back to the trustees of Henrietta Maria. For a while it was assigned to Katherine of Braganza, the consort of Charles II, as part of her marriage jointure. In 1698 it finally passed out of royal ownership and has been owned successively by the Aldsworth family from 1698 to 1728, by the duke of Portland 1728 to 1735, by the Crowle family 1735 to 1739 and then the Maister family of Hull. The Maisters held it as part of their country estate centred on Winestead for the next 90 years until they sold it in 1829 to Colonel Thoroton Hildyard. In 1846 it was purchased by the Marshall family who also acquired land through the inclosure of Burton Fleming in 1769. The Marshall family remained the owners of Patrington manor into the twentieth century. Custodial History: Donated by Richard Marshall, Lairthwaite, Kendal, in 1932 Description: These records from the manor of Patrington were presented to the library in 1932 by Richard Marshall whose family had been lords of the manor since 1846.

The lower lying area of the parish, bordered by Winestead fleet (later Winestead drain) along its south eastern edge, was known as Winestead level. In 1774 a new drainage authority for Winestead level was created by Act of Parliament and this undertook various improvement works during the 19th century, mainly the construction of new sluices. Winestead Level Drainage Board was still in existence in 1989. Custodial history: Deposited by Messrs Crust, Todd & Mills, Solicitors, 1981. Donated via Donald Carrick, on the authority of Sandersons Solicitors (successor to Crust, Todd and Mills), June 1999. Description: This collection mainly relates to the various improvement works undetaken in the nineteenth century and contain Accounts of the Winestead Level Drainage Board, including incomes and expenditure and some details of wages for 1774-1944 (not inclusive), Correspondence discussing the drainage (1797-1860), and Minutes of the Board (1811-1881). There are also various Notices advertising meetings and applications to Parliament, various Reports on Winestead Level Drainage, most significantly by William Iveson, Correspondence and material relating to the Winestead Level Drainage Act of 1867, as well as Miscellaneous material which includes appointments of commissioners.
