Executive Summary _____________________________________________________________________ 1.1 The issue of wildlife crime, in particular bird of prey persecution, features prominently in comments submitted to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and was raised as a key issue in the 2019 Nidderdale AONB Management Plan 2019-2024 public consultation. In response, the populations of a number of key upland bird of prey species in the AONB have been assessed, and known confirmed incidents of persecution have been quantified. Data has been compiled from a wide range of sources and includes the best breeding data currently available up to and including the 2018 breeding season (i.e. data from the 2019 season has not been included as it is not yet sufficiently available). It also shows where there are currently data gaps. Our intention is to repeat this exercise in the future to assess progress against this ‘baseline’. 1.2 In the last two decades there has been a significant increase in the population and distribution of buzzard and red kite nationally. In both these species, the population increases are in the main, the re-occupancy of historic breeding ranges following historic declines or local extinction. Although there is no comprehensive monitoring programme for buzzard in the AONB, available records suggest that while widespread in the AONB as a non-breeding species, the breeding population is lower than would be expected given the available habitat. Red kite currently breeds in the very south of the AONB. Persecution incidents in the Washburn Valley and Upper Nidderdale appear to be preventing the expansion of the breeding population into these areas. 1.3 Despite large areas of potentially suitable breeding habitat, there were no successful hen harrier breeding attempts in Nidderdale between 2005 and 20181. Nidderdale is also an important area for wintering hen harrier, with a number of known roost sites. Of the 59 hen harriers that were satellite tagged by Natural England across northern England and Scotland between 2017 and 2017, seven (12%) are classified as ‘missing fate unknown’ in Nidderdale AONB, or close to its boundary. A further bird classified as ‘recovered – persecuted’ was recovered from within the AONB. A recent research paper by Murgatroyd et al. (2019) looked at the patterns of disappearances of satellite tagged hen harriers and concluded ‘that hen harriers 1 1 It is understood that breeding was successful in Nidderdale in 2019 (see https://www.gov.uk/government/news/record-breaking-year-for-hen-harrier-breeding), but data is not yet available. Nidderdale AONB, September 2019 3 in Britain suffer elevated levels of mortality on grouse moors, which is most likely the result of illegal killing’. They found that this pattern was apparent in protected areas in northern England, including Nidderdale AONB. 1.4 The long-term breeding data for peregrine indicates that the population remains relatively stable in the AONB. There has, however, been a marked difference in site occupancy, with traditional territories on areas not managed for grouse, including at Coldstones Quarry, regularly occupied and successfully fledging young. In contrast there has not been a known successful peregrine nesting attempt on any of the traditional grouse moor sites since 1998. There is no natural explanation for this difference. 1.5 There is no comprehensive monitoring programme for goshawk, merlin or short-eared owl across the whole AONB, so it is not possible to determine the true status or definitive population trends. However, the available data suggest that goshawk has become genuinely rare in Nidderdale AONB, with no recent confirmed

The 2011 study produced a number of policy recommendations on the need and extent of a tourism protection policy and the need to allocate land for hotel development in Harrogate Town. 1.2 The Council is producing a new Local Plan for the district which will set out the growth strategy for the district and include allocations of land to deliver the strategy plus policies to manage development. It is necessary therefore to review the Visitor Accommodation Study to feed into the evidence base for the new Local Plan. 1.3 Visitor and business tourism is an important part of Harrogate District’s economy. The tourism industry covers a huge variety of services, facilities and supporting industries including bars, restaurants, hotels, guest houses, leisure facilities, cultural venues, cleaning facilities and tourist attractions, most of which also act as a beneficiary to the local residents.

  • George Cotson/Cockton
    George Cotson/Cockton (b. 1800, d. 1885) 12 October 2019 Elizabeth Barker George Cotson was baptised as an Anglican on 21 April 1800 at Ripon Cathedral, his place of birth being given as Littlethorpe (1). In the Ripon Parish records for Littlethorpe, George is listed with his date of baptism, as are his parents, George and Elizabeth, two older sisters Mary and Elizabeth and younger siblings Maria and Anthony, however the family name has been transcribed as Cockton. On 27 January 1822, the marriage of George Cotson of Ripon and Elizabeth Beek of Dallowgill was celebrated in the church of Kirkby Malzeard (2). Both of them signed the entry in the Church register with a cross. The Parish Register for that year also shows the birth of a son, Anthony, on 6 May 1822 who was buried on 20 June 1822 (3,4). His father's occupation is that of labourer. At the time of the 1841 census, George Cotson had moved to Ripon and was living with his wife in Low Skellgate, together with John Cotson, aged 5 (5). There is no further mention of John Cotson in George's household after this date and no indication that the couple had any other children. In 1851, George is living with his wife in Fishergate, Ripon; both are stated to be 56 years of age and his place of birth is recorded as Littlethorpe (6). His occupation is still given as labourer. He and Elizabeth (apparently known as Becky at this date) , are to be found in the 1861 census in Low Skellgate once again, under the name Cockton together with George's widowed sister Becky Grainge, aged 45 who has no occupation (7).
