Within this context and in planning for growth within the District, there are key links between longer term economic prosperity, environmental quality, local identity and distinctiveness.

The work was carried out between June 2012 and April 2013 regarding, what people like, dislike and want to improve about Aireborough. In all research and consultation people have been asked what they do like, followed by what they would like to see improved. The place awareness walks, allowed people to identify particular hot spots and treasures in their area. Aireborough in this case primarily refers to Guiseley, Yeadon, Hawksworth and High Royds: Rawdon is not included in this instance as it has it’s own parish council, however Rawdon is part of the Leeds district of Aireborough, and much of the content of this document is applicable to Rawdon. Research has been synthesised from the following sources, with the aim of covering a wide range of residents, and some businesses:- • Six thinking hat qualitative research June – October 2012 (92 responses including those aged around 16, and those aged around 90) • Local Representative in depth interviews – Summer 2012 (6 responses) • ANF workshop exercises, specifically Mapping Aireborough - February 2012 (52 detailed responses including place awareness walks.

  • Alwoodley Parish – Application For
    ALWOODLEY PARISH COUNCIL APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA Prepared on behalf of Alwoodley Parish Council 5 November 2013 Introduction Alwoodley, for the purposes of this application, is a civil parish created in 2008 within the City of Leeds. Some of the adjacent areas are commonly referred to as being in Alwoodley but do not form part of the civil parish. It lies some 5 miles north of the city centre on the northern edge of the West Yorkshire conurbation. The parish is on a ridge between the valleys of the River Aire and River Wharfe. It is bounded by the suburbs of Adel and Bramhope to the west, Harrogate Road to the east, Moor Allerton to the south and Harewood parish to the north. The northern part of the parish is mixed farmland in the Green Belt in which Eccup Reservoir is situated. To the north of the parish is the Harewood Estate. Moortown and Sandmoor golf courses lie within the parish together with part of Headingley golf course. There are several sports fields. The site of a Roman road crosses the parish from West to East, from Ilkley to Tadcaster, close to Alwoodley Lane. Alwoodley Old Hall stood adjacent to the site of Eccup Reservoir in the present grounds of Sandmoor Golf Club. Built in the 17th century it was demolished in 1969. Early on the 20th century Alwoodley became a leisure destination for Leeds inhabitants; before that it was an isolated agricultural community. Much of the suburban area was developed between 1920 and 1980 . Leeds Country Way and two long distance footpaths, the Dales Way and the Ebor Way, cross or lie on the edge of the parish.

Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, Access to Information Procedure Rule number: Appendix number: Summary of main issues 1. High Speed Two (HS2) has the potential to transform the economy of Leeds and Leeds City Region. However we will not realise the full benefits of HS2 unless we have a coherent and proactive plan for doing so. HS2 is part of a coherent strategy for rail improvements for the Leeds City Region, which includes upgrades of existing routes and services, and Northern Powerhouse Rail, a new fast east-west rail route across the North. 2. Improving and expanding Leeds Station is essential to ensure HS2 is integrated seamlessly with other rail services to create new rail capacity to support growth in Leeds, and to provide a high quality gateway to, and catalyst for, regeneration in the city. This paper seeks approval to the emerging proposals for a long term masterplan for Leeds Station. 3. It will also be important to ensure Leeds City Centre, and our people and businesses are HS2 ready. This paper also seeks approval
