  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

  • The Need for Entry-Level Affordable Homes in Craven
    The need for entry-level affordable homes in Craven August 2020 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The concept of entry-level exception sites was introduced in the 2018 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Paragraph 71 of the current NPPF states that, subject to compliance with certain tests: “Local planning authorities should support the development of entry-level exception sites, suitable for first time buyers (or those looking to rent their first home), unless the need for such homes is already being met within the authority’s area…….” 1.2 As stated in the NPPF housing on these sites must be affordable for those whose needs are not met by the market. This report identifies whether or not the need for entry level affordable housing in Craven District is being met by the housing provisions of the Craven and Yorkshire Dales National Park Local Plans. This requires three stages of work to be undertaken. The first will draw upon the results of the Craven Strategic Housing Market Assessment (2017) (SHMA) to estimate the total need for entry-level affordable housing in Craven District up to 2032. 1.3 The second stage of work will draw upon housing supply data from this Council and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority to estimate the likely delivery of entry-level affordable housing up to 2032. (Housing data from both authorities is required so that the area of need matches that of the supply.) The SHMA identifies housing need across the whole of Craven District. The northern part of Craven District lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park where the Park Authority, as a separate local planning authority, maintains its own data on housing supply and has adopted its own local plan.

It is normally reached by following an unclassified road running 6 miles (10 kilometres) north from the A65 at Gargrave. The National Park visitor centre at the south end of the village provides tourist information, public toilets and a ‘pay and display’ car park. The first part of the walk follows the Pennine Way north for 1½ miles (2¼ kilometres) to Malham Cove. From the visitor centre, head through the village, ignoring a right turn leading towards a road bridge. It is possible to follow a tree-shaded path beside Malham Beck for a short way, before rejoining the road. Ignoring a clapper bridge (Moon Bridge) on the right, the village is soon left behind as the road heads up a Walk 35: Malham Cove and Tarn and Goredale scar page 1 walled lane.

These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Habitat Advisory Visit to the River Aire on Behalf of Bowland Game Fishing Association Undertaken by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd June 2005
    Habitat Advisory visit to the River Aire on behalf of Bowland Game Fishing Association undertaken by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd June 2005 Sponsored by: 1.0 Introduction This report forms the output of a site visit to the River Aire, near Kirkby Malham, Yorkshire on 18 June 2005 on behalf of Bowland Game Fishing Association. Information in the report is based on observations on the day of the visit and additional comments provided by club members. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed, with right bank (RB) and left bank (LB) of the river identified when looking downstream. 2.0 Fishery Description The upper limit of the fishery was at Aire Head, upstream of the village of Hanlith, Yorkshire, with two small tributary streams, the Malham Beck, and Translands Beck combining to form the River Aire at this point. The club was concerned that the habitat in the Malham Beck had declined recently, with a dense algal growth present on the bed of the stream, perhaps indicating nutrient enrichment. The beck was not visited on the day of the site visit. The catchment was of a primarily karstic limestone geology, with extensive sheep farming the dominant land use. Contours were steep, with significant surface run-off during rainfall events supplementing the base groundwater flow. Increases in the density of sheep over time may have increased erosion of the land, with associated mobilisation of solids across the catchment, whilst the use of modern synthetic pyrethroid (SP) sheep dips have the potential to inflict serious damage on the population of macroinvertebrates present in the river.
