The Area Committee has some functions which are delegated from full Council and some Functions which are delegated from the Executive Board.

In summary the following issues were raised at the meeting:- (a) Leeds Metropolitan University’s Proposed Development at Beckett’s Park (Headingley Campus) Dr Richard Tyler, Leeds HMO Lobby informed the meeting that Leeds HMO Lobby had responded to the consultation on Leeds Metropolitan University’s proposal to develop student residential accommodation for approximately 500 students at Beckett’s Park (Headingley Campus). On behalf of Leeds HMO Lobby, he requested the Committee to oppose the application on the grounds that it would create an enormous hole in the AoHM policy. A debate ensued where it was apparent that some Members of the Committee, especially those within the Kirkstall ward, had not received the consultation questionnaire issued by the Metropolitan University. The Committee further noted that Andrew Crates, Community Planner, Development Department had been in contact with LMU about the consultation process and it was agreed that the deadline for responses would be extended to 31st December 2006. In concluding, the Committee expressed it’s concern about the random consultation process and agreed to revisit this issue at the next meeting in February 2007 when further information on the application would be available. (b) HMO Licensing – Leeds City Council’s Website Dr Richard Tyler, Leeds HMO Lobby informed the meeting that a register of applications submitted by landlords in respect of HMO Licensing was now available on the Council’s website.

  • The Hinchcliffe / Moore / Graham Long-Lease Estate in Headingley-Cum-Burley and Bramley, and Its Industrial Premises, During the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
    John Cruickshank The Long Lease Estate January 2009 The Hinchcliffe / Moore / Graham Long-Lease Estate in Headingley-cum-Burley and Bramley, and its Industrial Premises, during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Notes by John L Cruickshank, January 2009. The zone of nineteenth-century industrial development at Kirkstall (in the townships of Headingley-cum-Burley and Bramley, both within the ancient Parish and early- modern Borough of Leeds) was substantially the creation of the owners of an estate there, Sir James Graham (1st Baronet) and his son Sir Sandford Graham.1 However their developments were both assisted and constrained by earlier industrial development at this point (initiated by Kirkstall Abbey from the time of its foundation) and by the nature of their legal title to the estate. This title was not freehold, but was a group of 500-year leases held from the estate of the Earls of Cardigan. In the nineteenth century this led to legal problems and commercial restrictions when long sub-leases were sold. Understanding why this was so requires a knowledge of how the Grahams came to own this estate: essentially a reconstruction of their legal title. Some of the documents available for this also allow an outline of the sub-tenancies of the estate to be reconstructed, which in turn enables some suggestions of the timing of industrial development to be made. I This complex grouping of lands straddling the River Aire was assembled piecemeal by the Hinchcliffe family of millers and businessmen between the late-sixteenth century and the mid-seventeenth century. Centred on the complex of mills at Kirkstall Bargrange (now the Abbey Mills at Kirkstall), it included the Abbey site itself (including the Abbey precinct corn-mill that was allowed to become derelict after its water-supply was channelled to the newly established Kirkstall Forge in 1612-18) and various agricultural lands that together formed a continuous block stretching from Burley Hill into Bramley.

  • Individual and Institution in the Musical Life of Leeds 1900-1914
    Individual and Institution in the Musical Life of Leeds 1900-1914 Robert Demaine Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Music July 2000 Abstract In the years immediately before the First World War the city of Leeds enjoyed a rich and diverse musical life which has remained largely unchronicled thanks in part to an emphasis on London in much English musical history. This thesis attempts to redress the balance by charting the development of local institutions in the fields of choral, orchestral and chamber music which were created by the industry and dedication of a small number of outstanding individuals, now long-forgotten, whose efforts in the cause of Leeds music are placed within their social and historical context. The influence of the Leeds Triennial Festival, that cornerstone of the city's musical reputation in the latter half of the nineteenth century, is considered along with the work of the two leading choral societies which dominated so much of Leeds musical life at the time. Pioneering enterprises, such as those to establish a permanent municipal orchestra in the city and a regular series for the performance of contemporary chamber music, are examined in detail against the backdrop of a society undergoing fundamental change. It is often assumed that the First World War brought a violent and sudden end to what might be viewed as a golden age in English music. This thesis will show how the forces of change were already being experienced within local musical institutions which were attempting to come to terms with them even as the apocalyptic events of 1914 were approaching.

  • Here Is Also a History of Abbey Runners
    Abbey Runners 1984-2014 The First Thirty Years ABBEY RUNNERS The First Thirty Years A brief history of the club to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of its founding in 1984 December 2014 First Edition 2 Introduction from the Club President Upon becoming President of Abbey Runners in November 2013, I soon realised that I would be presiding over the Club in its thirtieth year. Having been a member at the time of the last significant anniversary (the 25th in 2009), I was aware how many “birthday parties” the club threw back then. So I knew I couldn’t just let the Big 3-0 pass without note. Being a relative newbie, of just ten years membership, I had heard tell of the myths and legends of yore (i.e. the 1980s and 1990s), and felt the 30th anniversary was an opportune moment to ensure the club’s history did not fade into the mists of time. I am delighted that the HARP Group took this challenge on and I can thoroughly recommend what is a thundering good read! The history of Abbey is packed with feats of endurance, determination and cunning, but more importantly it is a record of the efforts of those to whom the current members should be grateful. If it weren’t for that first poster, that first meeting, that first group run, the races run and the races organised, the hours volunteered, the socials and the newsletters then all of us who are and have been members of Abbey Runners would be the poorer; poorer for not knowing one another and poorer for not belonging to a club that has contributed so much to the world of running.
