  • Land Comprising OS Field 5419 Galphay Road Kirkby Malzeard Proposal: Outline Application for the Erection of 2 No
    Case No. 18/01726/OUT Item No.05 Location: Land Comprising OS Field 5419 Galphay Road Kirkby Malzeard Proposal: Outline application for the erection of 2 no. dwellings with access considered Applicant: Mr & Mrs M Atkinson Access to the case file on Public Access can be found here:- view file Reason for report: This application is to be presented to the Planning Committee because the applicant is Councillor Atkinson SUMMARY The application site comprises an agricultural field outside of the village confines of Kirkby Malzeard. The proposal represents the expansion of Kirkby Malzeard into the open countryside in a way which would be detrimental to the protected landscape of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The modest contribution that two dwellings would make to the Council’s housing target would not outweigh the significant and demonstrable adverse impact the development would have on the landscape character and natural beauty of the countryside. RECOMMENDATION: Refuse 18/01726/OUT 1 18/01726/OUT 2 18/01726/OUT 3 1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 1.1 The application site comprises a field on the eastern side of Galphay Road opposite the dwelling called ‘Parkfield’. The site has historically been used for the grazing of livestock. 1.2 The western boundary of the site is with Galphay Road and comprises a stone wall approximately 1.0 m high. To the north, work has commenced on the construction of two dwellings that were granted planning permission in 2017. The eastern end of the site includes a small woodland which is protect by Tree Preservation Order No 22/2006, which enclose a small single storey building.

  • Hannah Johnson Née Halliday, Ward
    Hannah Johnson née Halliday, Ward (b. 1815 – d. 1881) Marie-Anne Hintze Hannah Ward, a widow, who gave her age as 51, married Thomas Johnson, a labourer aged 70 in Ripon Cathedral on 15 December 1868 (1). They both signed the register with their mark. She gave her place of residence as Mickley, Thomas resided at North Stainley and the bride and groom's fathers are named in the register as Peter Johnson, shoemaker and James Holliday, butcher. Both parties had been married before: Thomas, baptised in Ripon Cathedral in 1791 (2), had married Mary Atkinson of Sawley in Ripon Cathedral on 24 November 1817 (3). Their first child, Ann, was born the following year at Mickley but the family obviously moved to North Stainley shortly thereafter for her five siblings were born there. Mary Johnson died in 1868 and Thomas married Hannah Ward the same year. In the North Stainley census for 1871, Thomas is listed as head of the household, an agricultural labourer, aged 74, and his wife Hannah, is stated to be 60 years old and classed as a labourer's wife (4). At some point, he left North Stainley and died in the Ripon Workhouse (5). It is not known whether Hannah moved to the workhouse at the same time, but she was there at the time of the 1881 census, and her occupation is stated to be' former charwoman' (6). She died later that year on 31 August. Her burial took place at Ripon Cathedral on 2 September 1881 (7). Hannah Johnson was born Hannah Halliday and was baptised as an Anglican on 30 April 1815, in the parish of Hartwith in Nidderdale (8).
