Ripon - “The meeting place of choice” Policy C.2 - East of Market Place Improvements

Proposals to improve legibility, permeability and accessibility Market Place Quarter Northern Quarter between the Cathedral Precinct, Kirkgate Yards, central car parks, the bus station, shopping developments and Allhallowgate in the Cathedral Precinct, Market Place and Northern Quarters will be supported, particularly where they achieve the following: • realisation of development opportunities such as the Cathedral stone yard, vacant and landmark buildings, new shops and opportunities arising from improvement in the capacity of public car parks • improvement in the capacity of the public car parks, including the feasibility of introducing additional parking deck(s) between the Cathedral and St Marygate car parks, including co-ordination of East of Market Place requires more and better screened management of on- and off-street parking parking to meet demand and protect views of the Cathedral. • public realm and environmental improvement • improved quality of routes for pedestrians, cyclists, Justification for C.2: local service vehicles (including to the rear of Kirkgate, 5.4.25 This policy recognises the need to better connect the Market Place East and Court Terrace) and contributing key assets of the city centre, and to encourage co- to the reduction in vehicular traffic within the Cathedral ordinated action between the principal partners and Precinct itself land owners.

Routes to the Cathedral, the city centre) the Market Place and the Courthouse, Workhouse and Prison and Police Museums all emanate from this point. The central car parks also serve the Sainsbury’s supermarket, shopping developments and hotels.

5.4.26 The majority of land is owned by HBC and the Cathedral. There are other significant land owners in the Kirkgate Yards, notably Sainsburys. 5.4.27 The vitality and viability of the city centre is an economic and cultural concern for Ripon and its partners. Accordingly, this policy brings together proposals that would encourage improvements. It is important that these proposals are seen as a comprehensive and integrated approach by partners working together. This capability would be fundamental, if not vital, in seeking support for bids to appropriate public bodies and other organisations to fund improvements. Existing car parking and shop frontages east of Market Place 5.4.28 The Cathedral Chapter published proposals for the Cathedral Precinct in April 2016. These recognised the pressing need for improved visitor facilities to display artefacts and treasures, and to provide hospitality and restrooms. The Cathedral’s strong music tradition Spa Quarter Cathedral Precinct seeks improved accommodation in order to sustain the song school. Furthermore, there is a need to provide alternative storage for Cathedral furniture and other bulky items that currently inhibit effective display of the building itself as a heritage and spiritual asset in its own right. It is unlikely that these needs all can be provided within the Cathedral itself. Despite its physical prominence more needs to be achieved to integrate the Cathedral, the Market Place and city centre parking.

On the one hand it may be seen as a market town acting as a service centre for a wider rural area and generating employment from the provision of services to this area. On the other, as the regional and national economies change, so a role as a dormitory town with employment increasingly sought elsewhere (characterised by longer distance commuting) becomes more prevalent. The former appears to be the preferred role, for example, in the Core Strategy, whilst the latter continues to be more evident, especially with the growth in population over recent decades and the loss of local facilities and transport provision.
