Formation of a Parish Council for Pannal and Burn Bridge Community Governance Review – Formation of a Parish Council for Pannal and Burn Bridge Consultation Results Legal and Governance Harrogate Borough Council Council Offices Crescent Gardens Harrogate HG1 2SG August 2015 1 Dates of consultation: 12 May – 28 July 2015 A copy of the survey is available at Appendix A Equalities statistics are included at Appendix C Number of surveys posted out: Households (on electoral register) 941 Businesses / Community groups 66 Total 1007 (additional copies of the survey were available on request or were available to download from the website) Total population aged 18+ (eligible to respond): 2012 (source: 2011 census) Responses received: 358 surveys 2 written responses Response rates: As a proportion of paper copies sent to households/businesses/community groups: 35.6% As a proportion of population eligible to complete the survey: 17.8% Notes on response rates These response rates are only indicative for the following reasons: Whilst primarily surveying residents and other local stakeholders, anyone from outside the locality was welcome to complete the survey. The only criteria was respondents should be aged over 18. One form was sent per household, but residents were invited to request additional copies should all adults in a household wish to complete their own form There was nothing to stop people responding multiple times, additional forms could be requested, downloaded from the website or photocopied Some responses are clearly on behalf of a household (eg “my wife and I think…”) 2 1.

Number Percentage of responses Yes 275 76.8% No 19 5.3% No opinion 48 13.4% Blank 16 4.5% 358 100% 5. If you disagree with the proposed name please state why / suggest an alternative Burn Bridge and Pannal – 4 comments Pannal – 1 comment Pannal, Burn Bridge and Walton Park – 1 comment Pannal Burn Bridge Community Council – 1 comment Comments I don't disagree, but feel it would be more inclusive if a historic area name could be found, that does not explicitly name Pannal or Burn Bridge or Walton Park. A significant area is Spacey Houses. Historically Pannal and Spacey Houses were 2 distinct and separate villages with the railway station built between them. It was in the 1930's onwards that built up areas merged. 6. Do you have any further comments on the proposed name of Pannal and Burn Bridge Parish Council? Unfortunately it is too long for comfort and easy use but any abbreviation would lose the precision of the name The people in Walton Park may be upset. Burn Bridge and Pannal Parish Council works equally well. Should Spacey Houses be included in the name? Describes the community very well. If proposed Pannal and Burn Bridge then Spacey Houses area (which includes Walton Park estate) should remain separate. Why not "Burn Bridge and Pannal PC" alphabetically 5 7. Do you agree with the proposed boundaries? Number Percentage of responses Yes 268 74.9% No 18 5.0% No opinion 54 15.1% Blank 18 5.0% 358 100% 8. Do you have any comments on the area to be covered by the council? Agree It can be said that the new boundaries better reflect the areas of Pannal and Burn Bridge. This is a natural boundary for the Parish. Distinction between Harrogate and Pannal/Burn Bridge is desperately needed as if we don't have autonomy we won't exist in a few years as Harrogate will have merged into us without our say!! (Burn Bridge is constantly used as go between now for Harrogate and traffic) Boundaries make sense. Spot on! Looks entirely appropriate. Would like to see additional areas included Suggest new Police College site and Rossett Green Lane could be included. We think that the boundary should be to the roundabout and should continue up bypass to new point (includes Burn Bridge side to roundabout (see illustration) It should include the whole of the road from the Black Swan to the main Leeds/Harrogate Road The proposed boundaries should include the whole of Pannal Ward. Would like to see certain areas excluded Exclude me at top of Yew Tree Lane/Rossett Green Lane - don't know if I am in or out. Don't see why it includes Rossett Manor and the nearby houses - surely should be in Pannal Ash? The land extending to Crimple Viaduct looks odd and could be omitted to be more compact The houses on the southern side of Rossett Green Lane & Leadhall Lane and at the top of Church Lane are part of the Rossett Green / Pannal ash area rather than Pannal village It should include the whole of the Pannal ward or just Pannal and Burn Bridge only. The physical boundary should then run along the railway line and along A61 Road to Almsford bank for just village. I wouldn't include Walton Park 6 Comments Boundaries do not reflect gaps between communities boundary too close to Harrogate to the north. From the map Walton Park appears to be the largest area but is not mentioned in the name. The larger part of the Pannal Ward has been excluded. Keep the green belt/separation from Harrogate. The area should mean common interests can be found although either side of the A61 might result in conflicting views It might help to deter over-development of unwanted kinds Happy to be excluded from possible parish council. To include Church Lane? Could not read map provided. How do boundaries coincide with adjacent or near adjacent Parishes? Seems odd to exclude Walton Head Water Tower which is now a residence and Walton Head Farm Just increase the size of the existing Pannal District Ward. The 3 areas of Burn Bridge Pannal and Walton Park are separate at present. It will be of benefit if all can be represented together. The degree of geographical separation currently may be an obstacle at least initially. 7 9. Do you agree with the years in which elections will be held? Number Percentage of responses Yes 250 69.8% No 18 5.0% No opinion 62 17.3% Blank 28 7.8% 358 100% 10. Do you have any comments on the years in which elections will be held? Agree Good plan to have reduced initial period to enable personnel changes to be made to cater for perhaps early mistakes Disagree Every 5 years. Wait until 2019 to start with full term Three years maximum Bi-annual Comments As stated before, the first election should have been this year. Is there a mechanism to allow things to start running in 'practice mode' to get things established A provisional parish precept should be included for in the 2016/17 Council Tax calculation in order that the new Parish Council has funds to undertake its services from May 2016 8 11.

  • Pannal and Burn Bridge Parish Council: How a New Parish Council Was Created in Pannal, Yorkshire
    Pannal and Burn Bridge Parish Council: How A New Parish Council Was Created In Pannal, Yorkshire Headlines: The villages of Pannal and Burn Bridge are in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire. This case study tells the story of how the Pannal Village Society triggered a Community Governance Review, successfully establishing a parish council for Pannal and Burn Bridge. The case study provides an example of good practice for campaigns aspiring to establish a town and parish council, giving advice on how to build a good relationship with the principal authority and how to overcome challenges throughout the campaign. The main lesson to share from this case study is that where a campaign group works positively over a sustained period with both officers and members of its principal local authority it is possible to complete the full campaign journey. To this end Pannal and Burn Bridge Parish Council held its first elections in May 2016, working closely in partnership with Harrogate Borough Council. Why A Council Is Wanted: Then Pannal and Burn Bridge campaign group wished to establish a parish council as a new parish council is able to increase the illage’s ability to manage its assets and to influence development plans in its area, being a legacy of the Pannal Village Society. The Pannal Village Society was created in the early 1990s under the initiative of a former Harrogate Borough councillor at the time, who had a firm commitment that Pannal was missing out by not having a parish council. Parish Councils are statutory consultees in planning matters and, as such, have to be consulted on planning issues within their parish and, in Harrogate, have an opportunity to present their views at relevant council meetings.

  • BIRTHDAY WEEK Wednesday 4Th May Poddlers Ride Report with The
    BIRTHDAY WEEK Wednesday 4th May Poddlers Ride Report With the strains of Happy Birthday to you and the remains of the blusher, botox and lipstick dribbling down our faces the Poddlers left the Batz and EGs and very fast boys gathering themselves for a mamouth marathon of cake consumption. Easingwold and Asquith had been alerted and the cakes baked. The Poddlers as ever intent on their cycling performance headed straight out of the rather over excited atmosphere of Hornbeam car park up Leadhall Lane to Ashville, the Squinting Cat, Lady Lane, and Beckwithshaw. We were surging confidently up Norwood Lane when the Fast boys overtook us, most without even noticing their road bound cousins, Richard greeted us helpfully and then Gia and Martyn encouraged New Blue Sue and myself up to Alms Cliff, to join the resting Poddlers. John joined us making the group a nicely rounded fourteen. What wind there was was behind us and we continued easily over the A59 to Menwith. At this point Max was overjoyed that Michelle needed to get back by 12 o'clock and happily volunteered to escort her home, probably chatting in French as they pedalled. I also had visions of the coffee and cakes being prepared so was quite happy to loose the efficient back marker, and knew that two more in the shape of Dave G and Steve would naturally take over. Trevor was behaving well, and only moaning quietly about cakes and hills. As we sped down to Darley before we turned right to Birstwith a record speed was recorded by Paul B (recently released from the tower) of 36 miles per hour.

The property offers the scope for further extension, subject to obtaining the necessary planning approval, as it occupies a generous plot, with mature gardens to both the front and rear. The plot was formally the working garden to the main house and has the original greenhouse which was built in the early 1900's. The gardens are particularly well stocked with a wealth of flowering plants and hardy perennials, mature trees and deep herbaceous borders. The site is undoubtedly one of the main factors as it extends to approximately 2.56 acres (1.035 hectares) in total, incorporating the front paddock. The house has the benefit of gas fired central heating, sealed unit double glazing and a modest income from the solar panels. The property has been extremely well maintained and benefits from a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, oak flooring to the hall, and excellent accommodation with four/five reception rooms, four generous bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, the master having an en-suite shower room and a spacious house bathroom.

  • EXMIQ051 North Rigton
    Response to the Harrogate Borough Council Development Plan From North Rigton Parish Council Site references: H45, H74, which already have planning permissions. H49, H46, H70, H36, H65, H56, H51, proposed development sites in the HBC draft local plan This submission is made by North Rigton Parish Council which represents 460 residents of the parish, located 2.5 miles south west Harrogate. North Rigton Parish Council does appreciate the need to plan for further housing in the borough of Harrogate, but the latest proposals provide figures which are unproven, unsafe and therefore unsound. HBC has failed to investigate other alternatives in depth but has opted either for more convenient development on land it “inherited” or via landowners wanting to profit from the sale of low value agricultural land for housing. NOT POSITIVELY PREPARED - Housing & Infrastructure • There is little additional infrastructure provision to the West of Harrogate where it is proposed that in excess of 6,000 houses are to be built. The bus and rail routes are to the East of the town centre, supermarkets are also to the East. The two secondary schools in the West are full and access to the other secondary schools in the East will be via the town, and school buses are unlikely to be provided for this travel necessitating in parents driving through the town to gain access. The lack of a suitable road network doesn’t seem to have been considered. • Traffic from the sites near Otley Road would regularly depart from that area towards Leeds and Bradford and inhabitants from around those cities will continue to make the reverse journey to work in Harrogate’s tourist industry; hotels, conference and exhibition trades.
