LCA: Located within Landscape Character Area 2 Welbury Plateau Key features of LCA  A wide and gently undulating area, open and large in scale. Flat horizons lend a plateau-like character.  An extensive area of arable farmland, and some pasture, with hedgerow field boundaries of good overall condition, and a mix of mature and semi- mature hedgerow trees.  An even, scattered distribution of small woodlands or plantations.  A regular pattern of dispersed villages and farmsteads connected by minor roads, with some larger scale infrastructure features in the east.  Long-distance views to the North York Moors looking east, and to the Yorkshire Dales looking west, as well some closer views of the North York Moors from the eastern part of the character area.

 Overall countryside setting with associated sense of tranquility, locally reduced in areas close to larger scale infrastructure features (trunk road, railway, overhead power lines).

North Yorkshire & York Landscape Characterisation Project, 2011: classified as Linear village: SUMMARY: SUMMARY: This is the linear village of Appleton Wiske which consists of low density housing with private space defined by front and back gardens.

 Mainly intensive arable cultivation, but with several areas of intact small scale field patterns and low narrow fields with parallel lines of hedgerows.  Woodland is limited to small plantations. Tree cover is sparse with gappy hedgerows.  Ridge-and-furrow cultivation can be seen in areas of more intact field pattern. Estate landscapes defined by brick walls and estate buildings set in parkland.  Narrow brick-built villages laid out around a single street.  Influence of airfields and associated infrastructure, as well as major roads and railway through the area.  Open landscape with few long views due to layers of trees. Longer, open views from slightly elevated vantage points, towards the North York Moors and the White Horse at Kilburn.

This area has significant legibility, but there has been some boundary loss since the first edition. 2) Enclosed Land: SUMMARY: This is an area of strip fields which consists of medium sized semi irregular fields defined by s curved internal and regular external hedges. This area has significant legibility with about 30% boundary loss since the first edition and is medieval.

LCA: Located within Landscape Character Area 25 Tholthorpe Moors. Key features of LCA  Flat or very gently undulating topography, with localised low ridges. Rising in the north to the wooded hills.  Becks and ditches drain into the Kyle and then the Swale, flanked by flood banks.  Mainly intensive arable cultivation, but with several areas of intact small scale field patterns and low narrow fields with parallel lines of hedgerows.

146

 Woodland is limited to small plantations. Tree cover is sparse with gappy hedgerows.  Ridge-and-furrow cultivation can be seen in areas of more intact field pattern. Estate landscapes defined by brick walls and estate buildings set in parkland.  Narrow brick-built villages laid out around a single street.  Influence of airfields and associated infrastructure, as well as major roads and railway through the area.  Open landscape with few long views due to layers of trees. Longer, open views from slightly elevated vantage points, towards the North York Moors and the White Horse at Kilburn.

The above character area doesn’t describe the market town. This space is typical of recreational facilities in a more built up area.

North Yorkshire & York Landscape Characterisation Project, 2011: classified as 2 landscape types; 1) Recreational: SUMMARY: This is a cricket ground located on the eastern side of Easingwold and consists of a large field with a small pavilion. This area has significant legibility of the previous HLC which was strip fields. This area also includes some small fields. 2) Settlement: SUMMARY: This represents the modern expansion of Easingwold and consists mainly of medium density housing arranged on a cul de sac pattern with front and back gardens. Public space is defined by a community centre. This is modern in character.

The recreation ground is enclosed and seems to follow an old linear field pattern. There is a brick built entranceway, a brick shelter / pavilion structure and a fenced, equipped play space. The area is well used and well maintained and has an urban municipal feel to it. 4.3 SITE VISIBILITY IN ITS LOCAL CONTEXT A hedge-line separates the recreation ground from the sports ground, beyond the recreation space, the tennis club has a boundary of chain link fence and timber post and rail with barbed wire. Bungalows with a footpath frontage adjoin the recreation ground, large detached properties border the sports ground and most have views into the space.

147

Formal surfaced paths lead into the recreational space. The sports ground is accessed through a vehicle gate in a separate location with a ‘private property, keep out’ sign 6.3 IS THE SITE USED FOR INFORMAL RECREATION?

10 CONCLUSION: IS THE SITE SUITABLE FOR DESIGNATION AS A LOCAL YES* GREENSPACE? The site is 'local' and is in 'reasonably close proximity to the community it serves' and is potentially locally significant due to its recreational value, tranquility and richness of wildlife; *however, the 'buffer' part of the site is not suitable as it is a productive arable field.
