We object to this policy in respect of the Norton VIUA. This policy is not soundly based. It is not Justified by being an appropriate strategy based on proportionate evidence. The Norton VIUA does not accord with national policy as it does not allow the delivery of sustainable development. The analysis in this Matter Statement has been carried out by Penny Stephens who is a Landscape Architect. This shows that the Norton VIUA is not based on appropriate evidence and the landscape is no more remarkable than land that was approved for housing at appeal. We therefore propose that the Norton VIUA is deleted from the plan.

In the event of a dispute the Client agrees that the Instructing Client will act as the intermediary for all communications. 3. Where fees are to be invoiced to a Client or in the case of more than one Client allotted to individual Clients non payment of fees by any Client will be deemed to be a breach of this agreement.

All fee proposals exclude Planning Application, Building Regulation and Local Authority fees and survey costs. Such fees and costs shall be paid directly by the Client to the Local Authority concerned. Where a fee stage is related to a Local Authority decision, this is understood to be a Committee resolution rather than the issue of a decision notice which may be related to other legal agreements.

Any queries in respect of an invoice must be raised in writing within 5 days of the receipt of that invoice. If payment is not made by the settlement date, the Consultant reserves the right to charge interest on overdue invoices at 6% above Barclays Bank plc base rate. In addition, in the event that payment is not made by the settlement date, the Consultant retains the right to cease work on the project until such time as payment is made. 10. Completion of the Services shall be deemed to occur on the issue of the final fee invoice and no action or proceedings as a result of the Services provided or any breach of this Agreement shall be commenced against the Consultant after the expiry of 6 years from completion of the Services. 11. All fee proposals made by the Consultant exclude fees associated with copyright or licence fees relating to any material supplied by the Client. The Client shall be responsible for obtaining and paying all fees in respect of copyright approval licences and obtaining all other necessary permissions for all copyrighted materials provided to the Consultant for inclusion in the Services. 12. The Client hereby acknowledges the Consultant has drawn its attention to duties imposed on the Client by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 as amended. Any comment or guidance provided by the Consultant with regard to scheme design by others is based on its reasonable interpretation of prevailing Government and Local Authority planning policies; responsibility for applying such advice to the scheme design remains that of the designer or architect appointed to design the scheme which may be a party other than the Consultant who shall be responsible for the application of any such comment or guidance to the scheme design.

  • Route Overview
    From FORELAND to CAPE - an end to end walk across Britain from South Foreland (Dover) to Cape Wrath Linda Brackenbury Disclaimer: All details are given in good faith. However no activity can be completely hazard-free so undertaking any part of this route is done entirely at your own risk and I accept no responsibility for errors, loss or injury however caused. Route Overview Cape Wrath Cluanie Inn Croy Hexham Malton Oakham London Farnham Dover 1 Having completed walking from Land’s End to John O’Groats, an end to end walk from the most south-easterly point of England to Scotland's north-west extremity seems the obvious successor. Furthermore, this walk was to be done in sections of about two weeks. Thus an important requirement was the ability for the start and finish point of each section to have good transport links. Having stayed westward up to the Scottish border and then gone up the centre of Scotland on the Land's End to John O'Groats walk, the choice for this new trek was to adopt a more easterly route in England followed by a more westerly route through Scotland. Using this approach, coupled with a wish to avoid London, the inland start/end points evolved as Farnham, Oakham, Malton, Hexham, Croy (in Scotland's Central Belt) and the Cluanie Inn in Glen Shiel. The walk commenced in 2013 and was completed over four years and obviously the route described relates to the conditions found when walked. I was accompanied up to Croy by Gwen, my usual walking companion, but after she got injured Gill took over for the final two sections.

  • Filey Flyer Saturday 20 March 2010 Report by Kay Farrow of Beverley Athletic Club
    Filey Flyer Saturday 20 March 2010 Report by Kay Farrow of Beverley Athletic Club A small group from Beverley Athletic Club joined almost 200 hardy walkers and runners to complete the Filey Flyer challenge event last Saturday. With a choice of either a 22 or a 16 mile course, starting and finishing in Filey, the event provided an excellent training run for those preparing for the London Marathon next month or the Coniston 14+ next Saturday. Organised by the East Yorkshire branch of the Long Distance Walkers Association, the routes took in parts of the Cleveland Way, Wolds Way and Centenary Way. The event was advertised as including panoramic views of Scarborough Bay, the North Yorkshire Moors and the Wolds but very low cloud and sea fret restricted visibility to less than fifty yards on much of the route and there were no views of the sea – not even from the cliff top path! The weather was utterly miserable all day with constant drizzle developing into more persistent and heavy rain as the day wore on. Conditions underfoot were very muddy in places and care had to be taken to avoid slipping, especially on the cliff top paths! Poor visibility made navigation between checkpoints more difficult and a number of competitors admitted to having lost their way in places. Despite the poor conditions 143 people completed the long route. Michael Collins, organiser of the walk, said: “There were only seven retirements, indicating that the majority were hardy, regular walkers who are not bothered by a spot of rain.” 23 March 2010 Kay Farrow The organisation of the event was excellent with tasty snacks and hot drinks available at checkpoints.

  • Oakham to Malton (204Miles)
    From FORELAND to CAPE - an end to end walk across Britain from South Foreland (Dover) to Cape Wrath Linda Brackenbury Disclaimer: All details are given in good faith. However no activity can be completely hazard-free so undertaking any part of this route is done entirely at your own risk and I accept no responsibility for errors, loss or injury however caused. Part 3 Oakham to Malton (204miles) Cape Wrath Cluanie Inn Croy Hexham Malton Oakham London Farnham Dover 1 This is a splendid section starting from the charming market town of Oakham in tiny Rutland and finishing in North Yorkshire at the market town of Malton; both towns have railway stations for ease of access. Oakham marks the start of the Viking Way (VW) which is followed in its entirety across the large agricultural county of Lincolnshire to the Humber Bridge. Lincolnshire is an area of relatively sparse population and the accommodation on offer near the route reflects this. A notable feature of the landscape in Lincolnshire is the lack of animals as it's arable farming territory. As a consequence, fields are enormous and are often sub-divided into sizeable different crop areas, there's usually no gates between fields as there's no animals to contain and instead there are large hedge gaps between fields so as to admit with ease the wide farm machinery used nowadays. The well signed VW has been skilfully planned to take in the very best of Lincolnshire's scenery, so it takes in ancient tracks, ridges (yes, ridges!) and includes an extensive section through it's Wolds, as well as passing through charming towns and villages, and majestic Lincoln.
