    North Yorkshire County Council Executive 15 January 2019 Harrogate Congestion Study –Options Assessment Report Addendum Report of the Corporate Director – Business and Environmental Services 1.0 Purpose of Report 1.1 To provide an update on the progress of the Harrogate Congestion Study further analysis. 1.2 To set out the broad outcomes of the Options Assessment Report Addendum (OARA) 1.3 To recommend next steps, including potential public consultation 2.0 Background 2.1 Members of the Executive will be aware that a route for a Harrogate Northern Relief Road and Killinghall Bypass was approved by the County Council in the early 1990’s. Following a request from the County Area Committee for the Harrogate District a review of ‘the need for and alignment’ of the adopted relief road was commenced in late 2016. 2.2 As an early part of this study, initial modelling and appraisal was undertaken on various potential relief road options based on work originally carried out in the early 1990’s (see Figure 1 below.) This showed that of the alignments, the two inner relief road options provided the greatest benefits in terms of traffic relief. 2.3 As a result of development pressures, and based on information available from the initial consideration of relief road alignments the Executive recently resolved to rescind the protection of the Harrogate Northern Relief Road and a section of the Killinghall Bypass. The remainder of the Killinghall Bypass remains an adopted route. Figure 1 - possible relief road options considered in the 2017 Options Assessment Report 2.4 As an integral part of the study, work was also undertaken by the County Council’s partner consultant, WSP on looking at a range of other potential approaches for tackling congestion in Harrogate and Knaresborough (study area set out in Figure 2 below).

  • Manse Farm Rail Station Study
    Harrogate District Sites and Policies DPD: Manse Farm Rail Station Study May 2013 Foreword The Manse Farm Rail Station study has been prepared following advice and guidance from Network Rail and provides the first step in the consideration of a potential new station at Manse Farm, Knaresborough. The study was commissioned jointly by Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council and prepared by Arup. This work has been undertaken over a period of several years and has involved detailed discussion with the rail industry during this time. The report represents a technical piece of work undertaken at a particular stage in the development of the Local Plan reflecting the requirements of the rail industry. References to the Sites and Policies DPD therefore refer to an earlier stage in the plan preparation process. Provision of a station to the east of Knaresborough has been a long term aim of the Council and a site is currently allocated in the Harrogate District Local Plan (2001) to the west of Manse Farm on an embankment and in a location with limited space to provide facilities such as car parking. Background work has therefore been undertaken for the Sites and Policies DPD to investigate the business case for providing a new rail station and car park as part of the Draft Allocation for a mixed use urban extension at Manse Farm, Knaresborough (K2b) further to the east. The Leeds‐ Harrogate –York Railway Line forms this site’s northern boundary. The line is recognised as a regionally significant transport link within the Leeds City Region and North Yorkshire, facilitating access to labour markets in Leeds, Harrogate and York as well as providing connectivity with regional and intercity services at York and Leeds.

  • 2013 Harrogate and Knaresborough Cycling Implementation Plan
    HARROGATE DISTRICT SITES & POLICIES DPD Harrogate & Knaresborough Cycling Implementation Plan 2013 May 2013 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction and background 2.0 Policy context 3.0 Progress made on the development of the Cycle Network 4.0 Measures proposed to complete the Harrogate and Knaresborough Cycle Network 5.0 Links to the National Cycle Network 6.0 Cycling promotion and awareness raising APPENDIX 1: Harrogate and Knaresborough Cycling Implementation Plan – network of routes. 1.0 Introduction and Background 1.1 Harrogate Borough Council adopted the Harrogate and Knaresborough Cycling Implementation Plan in July 2000. At this time the Borough Council was the Highway Agent for the Harrogate and Knaresborough Area acting on behalf of North Yorkshire County Council. The plan identified a proposed network of radial and orbital cycle routes in the urban areas of Harrogate and Knaresborough which formed the basis for the allocation of funding through the North Yorkshire County Council Local Transport Plan during the period 2001 to 2006. 1.2 The Local Transport Plan advocated the introduction of such a network of cycle routes (and the associated investment in cycle infrastructure) as a means of encouraging the use of alternative means of transport to the car, and encouraging greater cycle use especially for shorter journeys. 1.3 The Cycling Implementation Plan was developed with the assistance and support of the Harrogate Cycling Group who shared the County and Borough Council’s aspirations for the creation of a comprehensive cycle route network inter‐linking residential areas, schools, shopping facilities, health care facilities, employment areas and leisure sites. 1.4 A further objective endorsed in the plan was to promote and progress the delivery of off road cycle routes to Spofforth and Ripley that would connect Harrogate and Knaresborough to the National Cycle Network and provide onward links to the remainder of the District.
