Item 17 North York Moors National Park Authority 23 March 2014 Large-Scale Recreation Events 2014 1. Purpose of the Report 1.1 To inform Members of the level of large-scale recreation events in the National Park. 2. Background 2.1 The Head of Recreation and Park Management, acting under the terms of an agreement with Natural England monitors the level of large-scale recreation events that could have an adverse impact on the fabric of the National Park and its communities and visitors. Organisers are offered guidance to reduce potential conflicts and are usually very receptive to requests to modify their plans. They are sometimes required to seek formal consent from Natural England for activities that are potentially damaging to an SSSI and a working arrangement is usually agreed that negates this risk. 2.2 Under the Motor Vehicles Competition and Trials Regulations, the National Park Authority, through the Head of Recreation and Park Management, authorises Motor Rallies on footpaths and bridleways, usually on Class One forest roads, provided strict safety requirements are complied with. From 1 January 2015 a charge of £200 was introduced to cover the cost of this discretionary service 3. 2014 Report 3.1 A comprehensive list of large-scale recreation events in the National Park in 2014 appears at the Appendix. 3.2 The increasing popularity of road cycling saw more Sportive events in 2013, and more riders taking part in established events. A new ride from Dalby out to the coast and back was mostly off-tarmac and attracted roughly even numbers of mountain bikes and cyclo-cross bikes. A repeat in April this year hopes to increase on last year’s 205 starters. 3.3 Trail and ultra-races (runs over 26 miles long) have again seen an increase, with more events and more runners taking part. 4. Financial and Staffing Implications 4.1 No change. 5. Contribution to National Park Management Plan 5.1 Events protocols were used to minimise conflicts between Recreational activities and: • (U5) the interests of communities, land managers and other user groups • (U6) conservation of the special qualities of the National Park 6. Legal Implications 6.1 None 7. Recommendation 7.1 That Members note and comment on the report.
