It also provides the character and distinctiveness that is so important to a positive sense of place. […] The historic environment is a unique, fragile and non-renewable resource which contributes to the economy, 1 1 DCLG et al. 2010, society and daily life. Once lost, it cannot be replaced . paragraphs 5, 6 & 8. 2 English Heritage 2006a & b. This document is an update of the 2001 appraisal in the current Yorkshire 3 English Heritage 2006b, Dales National Park Authority’s corporate layout. The points raised in the paragraph 3.5. previous document have been revisited and, where appropriate, extended with more detailed information. Additional points have been added in the light of current English Heritage guidance 2. However, the overall essence of the 2001 appraisal has not been altered. Changes to the boundary have not been considered. The document has been updated to coincide with a Homeowners’ Event held at Gayle Mill on 22 October 2011, which incorporates in its programme a guided walk through the conservation area. No public consultation has been carried out on this draft. Although appraisals try to cover the main aspects of a designated area, they cannot be completely comprehensive; omission of particular buildings, features or spaces should not be taken to imply that they are of no interest 3. Throughout the text, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority will be referred to as ‘we’, or ‘the Authority’. 1.1 The Area The Gayle Conservation Area was designated on 01 March 2001. It is now one of thirty-seven such designations within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. An area of 9.20 hectares encompasses the historic core of the village and an extensive part of its immediately surrounding landscape. The overall character of the place is both informal in terms of its historical development and rural due to its vernacular architecture and natural landscape setting. Gayle is a very attractive conservation area and generally in good condition (see 4.4.g). 1.2 The Appraisal Purpose. Every conservation area has a distinctive character which has been shaped over time by its natural and man-made surroundings. This appraisal is an opportunity to re-assess the Gayle Conservation Area, to evaluate and record its special interest (see 3.0-4.0). It will set out how the place has evolved, draw out the key elements of its character and quality as it is now, and define what is positive and negative, and opportunities for beneficial change. However, neither the designation nor appraisal should be seen as an end in itself, but as a step towards the preservation and enhancement of Gayle’s character and appearance, providing a basis for making sustainable decisions about its future. Conservation areas can be susceptible to incremental and dramatic change due to neglect caused by economic decline, as well as over- investment and pressure for development. Hence the appraisal aims to counteract threats which would alter what made the area attractive and unique in the first place, and to help promote positive change. The appraisal provides information about the Gayle Conservation Area for residents, the wider public and other stakeholders. However, it is always advisable to contact the local planning authority before 4 undertaking any work on listed buildings or structures within the vicinity of designated heritage assets. Scope. This appraisal is based on the original 2001 document which had been prepared at the request of Hawes and High Abbotside Parish Council in order to consider whether the settlement of Gayle possessed sufficient architectural or historic interest to be designated as conservation area, following on from a public meeting held with the parish council in 1997. Additional information has been included to meet the current corporate conservation area appraisal standard. Primary sources including historical maps and aerial photographs from the Authority’s Historic Environment Record have also been included. Literature and websites which may be of further interest are listed at the back (see 7.1). Site visits were undertaken between March and October 2011. 1.3 Summary The Gayle Conservation Area at a Glance: Date of designation: 01 March 2001 see 1.1 Date of last review: none see 1.0 Location: grid ref SD 871 892 (North Yorkshire) see 4.1.a Current size: 9.20ha see 1.1 Current boundary: see map see 7.4 Changes to boundary: no see 6.0 General character: rural; informal compact cluster see 4.1.b Special interest: 1.
