And reet gradly too, tha knows! This is the largest English county, stretching from the North Sea over the Pennines; from the Tees in the north, past the Don in the south. Covering 6,066 square miles of rolling moors, mountains, marsh and beach. Its highest point is the 2,591 Mickle Fell. Yorkshire boasts a culture based on its own distinctive roots. It featured the headquarters of the pre-Roman Briganti tribe – at Aldborough, not far from Knaresborough, and York, as Eboracum, was the Roman military centre in the North, later becoming the base of Viking rule, called Jorvik. This took the wool from sheep grazed on hills in the Dales and Moors, and used energy to It has been always a county power the weaving looms, first derived from known for its agricultural the rivers and streams sluicing from the fecundity and in later Pennines, and later from the huge coal fields medieval times a strong wool of South and West Yorkshire. weaving industry grew up. Along with a distinctive dialect, almost a separate language, an outlook grew up: an independence of mind and spirit. Aye, tha says: you can allus tell a Yorkshireman, but you can’t tell ‘im much. For Bed Racers seeking designs for their beds and dress for themselves, there should be enough to choose from. Yorkshire has its own county day – 1 August; its own county flag – the white rose; a county flower – the exquisite papery blue harebell. We even have our own anthem: On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘at.

Following a request from the County Area Committee for the Harrogate District a review of ‘the need for and alignment’ of the adopted relief road was commenced in late 2016. 2.2 As an early part of this study, initial modelling and appraisal was undertaken on various potential relief road options based on work originally carried out in the early 1990’s (see Figure 1 below.) This showed that of the alignments, the two inner relief road options provided the greatest benefits in terms of traffic relief. 2.3 As a result of development pressures, and based on information available from the initial consideration of relief road alignments the Executive recently resolved to rescind the protection of the Harrogate Northern Relief Road and a section of the Killinghall Bypass. The remainder of the Killinghall Bypass remains an adopted route. Figure 1 - possible relief road options considered in the 2017 Options Assessment Report 2.4 As an integral part of the study, work was also undertaken by the County Council’s partner consultant, WSP on looking at a range of other potential approaches for tackling congestion in Harrogate and Knaresborough (study area set out in Figure 2 below).

  • Land Comprising Field at 435295 458903, Boroughbridge Road, Knaresborough
    Case No. 17/01350/OUTMAJ Item No. 03 Location: Land Comprising Field At 435295 458903, Boroughbridge Road, Knaresborough. Proposal: Outline application for the erection of up to 120 dwellings with public open space, landscaping, sustainable drainage system and vehicular access from Boroughbridge Road with access considered (Site Area 7.44ha). Applicant: The Slingfold Trust And Gladman Developments Ltd Access to the case file on Public Access can be found here:- view file Reason for report: This application is to be presented to the Planning Committee because the proposed development exceeds 50 dwellings under the Scheme of Delegation. SUMMARY: The proposed scheme comprises the development of up to 120 dwellings, of which up to 48 will be defined as affordable, in a sustainable location on the edge of a main settlement and on a site which is proposed as a draft housing allocation within the Council’s Publication Draft Local Plan. The scheme is submitted in outline form, with all matters other than access reserved for subsequent approval. Satisfactory access can be gained to the site and subject to mitigation, it is considered that the site can be developed without harm to areas of acknowledged importance. The development has significant social benefits in contributing to the Council’s housing land supply, which stands at 4.5 years, and providing open market and affordable housing to meet an identified shortfall in both. This report demonstrates that there are no economic or environmental effects of development that significantly or demonstrably outweigh the social benefits of providing new housing in this location. As such, the development is considered to be sustainable when applying the ‘tilted balance’ at paragraph 11 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

  • Let's Celebrate Autumn Walking!
    THE WEST RIDING No 155 | Oct 2018 Journal of the West Riding Area of the Ramblers’ Association COVER PHOTO: Autumn woodland at Hardcastle Crags (near Hebden Bridge) Let’s celebrate Autumn Walking! With regards to the RA’s average age profile, member Stephanie Blythe contributes a very valid and interesting perspective on the matter— the RA needs to keep attracting new members, so does it really matter if new members are of retirement age? I’m an active retired sixty-something and often hear groups I belong to lamenting their age profile. One organisation I belong to even seems to avoid showing pictures of ‘oldies’ in its magazine. But an interest popular with Blackmoorfoot Reservoir, older people - like jazz for example - will Huddersfield by Caroline Spalding keep going as long as new participants replace those who pass on.
