The Clerk explained to the meeting that the Parish Council only submitted observations to Shropshire Council and these need to relate to planning policy. The areas of objection related to the excessive scale and density of the proposed development, the impact to the existing environment, increased traffic flow through the village, impact to sewerage facilities, the loss of possible historical features of Ashford Court and the Outbuilding. After allowing the members of the public to express their views the Chairman closed the public session.

  • Wonston Wonston with Sutton Scotney
    Wonston Wonston with Sutton Scotney 1.0 PARISH Wonston (now includes Hunton and Stoke Charity) 2.0 HUNDRED Buddlesgate 3.0 NGR 447700 139550 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Chalk; Alluvium 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Wonston CP now includes Hunton (formerly a tithing of Crawley) and Stoke Charity. On the other hand, a strip of land across the south of the parish has been hived-off as the new parish of South Wonston. For this reason the south boundary of Wonston parish has been partly determined by some relatively modern features such as post- medieval enclosure fences and a dismantled railway line. The old east boundaries of Stoke Charity and Hunton now perform the same function for Wonston. To the south- west, the Roman road to Salisbury forms part of the parish limit whilst the west and north boundaries seem to be based upon a combination of marker points including natural features, post-medieval fields and traditional land divisions. The river Dever, a tributary of the Test, cuts across the parish from east to west. This watercourse has attracted a number of settlements. On the north bank are the former manors of Norton and Cranbourne where there are watercress beds. Here too, is the Crawley tithing of Hunton. South of the river (west to east) are Sutton Scotney, Wonston and Stoke Charity. The settlement of Wonston is just above the flood plain of the Dever at c. 63m AOD. It is reached from the west via a minor road from Sutton Scotney. This road also passes through Stoke Charity (east) and on into the neighbouring parish of Micheldever.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.
