  • HISTORY of Wasatch County
    A HISTORY OF = 'Wasatch County Jessie L. Embry UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF Wasatch County Jessie L. Embry Native Americans used Wasatch County for hunting and gathering activities, but prob­ ably no permanent settlers lived in the area until the Mormons arrived in 1859. They established communities following Joseph Smith's Plat of the City of Zion. Rather than living on isolated homesteads, they lived in towns and set up their farms surrounding the villages. The harsh weather and distant water sources of the region also encouraged coop­ eration. The area became known for its dair­ ies and cattle and sheep industries. But while the towns in Wasatch County started as typical Mormon villages, they have become more dependent on outside eco­ nomic forces. The state and federal govern­ ments have developed many of the county's natural resources, but they generally are used outside the area. The county includes much of the Uinta and parts of the Wasatch and Ashley national forests and boasts three res­ ervoirs: Strawberry (1910), Deer Creek (1946), and Jordanelle (1995); however, the stored water is used elsewhere. Wasatch County's history is the story of a transition from independent Mormon villages to de­ pendent colonies and bedroom communi­ ties of larger population centers.

  • 2018/0796/FUL LOCATION Land to the North of Whalleys Road Skelmersdale Lancashire
    No.2 APPLICATION NO. 2018/0796/FUL LOCATION Land To The North Of Whalleys Road Skelmersdale Lancashire PROPOSAL Residential development of 35 dwellings including affordable housing, access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale. APPLICANT Kier Living Ltd WARD Ashurst PARISH Unparished - Skelmersdale TARGET DATE 23rd October 2018 1.0 SUMMARY 1.1 It is considered that the principle of residential development at this site is acceptable. I am satisfied that there will be no significant detrimental impact upon the character of the area, amenity of neighbouring properties, biodiversity, trees, flood risk or highway implications. The development is considered to be compliant with relevant planning policies and the application is therefore recommended for approval. 2.0 RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE subject to planning obligation and conditions. 3.0 THE SITE 3.1 The application site relates to a parcel of undeveloped greenfield land in north Skelmersdale, adjacent to Ashurst and approximately 2km north of the town centre. The site falls within one of four parcels of land located in Whalleys and within the Skelmersdale settlement boundary that are allocated for residential development (it is known as Whalleys North or Site 5). The site lies to the north of Whalleys Road on a triangular parcel of land between Whalleys Road, Beacon Lane and Cobbs Brow Lane. The site is approximately 1.3 hectares and forms separate pockets of development within Whalleys North. The land is currently grassed with trees and hedges to all boundaries. 3.2 The topography of the larger Whalleys North site has a level difference of approximately 15m with the lowest point to the west where the land leads to a grassed subway under Whalleys Road.
