Forward Plan of Key Decisions FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS For the period: 21 May 2019 - 18 May 2020 The council publishes a Forward Plan which details the key decisions that are scheduled to be taken by the Cabinet, a Member of the Cabinet or a designated Chief Officer in accordance with the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Access to Information) (England) Regulation 2012. These decisions need to be published on the Forward Plan at least 28 clear days before the decision is to be taken. Key decisions A Key Decision is an Executive decision which is likely (a) to result in the local authority incurring expenditure which is, or the making of savings which are, significant having regard to the local authority’s budget for the service or function to which the decision relates; or (b) to be significant in terms of its effects on communities living or working in an area comprising two or more wards or electoral divisions in the area of the local authority; and regard must be had to guidance issued by the Secretary of State to determine the meaning of “significant”. The Council has fixed the following financial thresholds for deciding whether a Cabinet decision is a Key Decision. It must involve: revenue expenditure of £150,000 or more savings of £50,000 or more capital expenditure of £250,000 or more decisions made by the Chief Executive, in exercise of emergency powers only, £300,000 Key decisions can be subject to the Overview and Scrutiny call-in procedure. Only urgent Key Decisions aren't subject to this and don't have to be published in the Forward Plan. If you would like further information on any of the items shown in this Forward Plan please contact the respective officer(s) for each item. For general information about the decision-making process and for copies of any documents outlined in the Forward Plan please contact Democratic Services, Harrogate Borough Council, Civic Centre, St Luke’s Avenue, Harrogate HG1 2AE or [email protected] following their publication.

  • Growth Strategy
    Harrogate District Local Plan: Publication Draft 2018 Harrogate District Growth Strategy Harrogate Borough Council 23 Harrogate District Local Plan: Publication Draft 2018 3 Harrogate District Growth Strategy Harrogate District Growth Strategy: Key Facts Household projections show household growth across the district of 11% between 2004-35, which is a lower level of growth than the region (15%) and England (20%). The three main urban areas of Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon support the largest concentrations of the district's population. Since the Harrogate District Local Plan was adopted in 2001 these settlements, together with the market towns of Boroughbridge, Masham and Pateley Bridge, have accommodated the majority of new growth. The district has a large rural area containing villages and hamlets ranging from larger villages with local services and facilities down to small clusters of houses. There is a need to ensure that rural settlements can continue to support local village services. The district has high levels of employment and the highest rate of business start-ups of any district within the Leeds City Region. The district’s residents are some of the most qualified in the north of England. The local economy has a number of prominent high-value sectors (including wholesale, professional services and media) alongside a thriving visitor economy. Despite high resident skill levels and average earnings, workplace wages in the district are considerably lower than the regional and national average, with a disproportionate skew in local employment towards low value sectors. In the west of the district lies the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which covers some 233 sq miles; more generally the district has high quality natural, built and historic environments.

  • Knaresborough Brochure 2019
    Knaresborough Team Ministry Parish Brochure 2019 We are seeking a team vicar, a pastor, a colleague and a friend to join us as we continue our journey in faith. The Church context The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Knaresborough, Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond & Craven). The parish of Knaresborough lies in the Harrogate Deanery within the Ripon Episcopal Area and the Archdeaconry of Richmond and Craven. Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. For all of our appointments we are seeking clergy who have a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth, both numerically and spiritually.

  • The Permian and Carboniferous of Knaresborough
    The Permian and Carboniferous of Knaresborough Anthony Cooper. British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham. Manuscript copy of: COOPER, A.H. 2006. The Permian and Carboniferous rocks of Knaresborough: In: Yorkshire rocks and landscape: a field guide / edited by Colin Scrutton and John Powell. Yorkshire Geological Society. p. 124-132 PURPOSE This day-long excursion visits Knaresborough Gorge a glacial diversion channel. It examines the Permian strata and their unconformable relationship to the underlying Carboniferous rocks. PRACTICAL DETAILS If the complete excursion is to be undertaken an entrance fee is payable to do the `Long Walk' and visit `Mother Shiptons Cave' telephone (0423) 864600 for details of charges. This entrance fee includes car parking; the starting point is `Old Mother Shiptons' (SE 345 571) off the A59 just south of the River Nidd. Alternatively this section west of the river may be omitted and one of the Council-run public car parks (SE 345 572 & SE 348 567) used as a starting point; in this case localities 1 and 2 are missed out and the section between High Bridge and Low Bridge on the east bank of the river is walked twice; alternatively, a deviation can be made to the town and castle. The circular walk is fairly level, about 8km long and passes numerous pubs, cafes, picnic places and public conveniences. Hammers must not be taken on this excursion as it is not premitted to hammer any of the rock exposures.

The 2011 study produced a number of policy recommendations on the need and extent of a tourism protection policy and the need to allocate land for hotel development in Harrogate Town. 1.2 The Council is producing a new Local Plan for the district which will set out the growth strategy for the district and include allocations of land to deliver the strategy plus policies to manage development. It is necessary therefore to review the Visitor Accommodation Study to feed into the evidence base for the new Local Plan. 1.3 Visitor and business tourism is an important part of Harrogate District’s economy. The tourism industry covers a huge variety of services, facilities and supporting industries including bars, restaurants, hotels, guest houses, leisure facilities, cultural venues, cleaning facilities and tourist attractions, most of which also act as a beneficiary to the local residents.

  • Cause Papers Project Standardization
    1 Cause Papers in the Diocesan Courts of the Archbishopric of York, 1300–1858 Editing and Standardisation in the Cause Papers Database The Cause Papers project provided an on-line searchable catalogue of more than 13,000 cause papers relating to cases heard between 1300 and 1858 in the Church Courts of the diocese of York, the original records for which are held at the Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York. The project aimed to pioneer a new standard of excellence in data accuracy and standardization. Cataloguing such a large and varied number of records posed numerous challenges in these areas, including the problem of how to incorporate spelling and language variations of surname and place names. The following document provides information on the methods used by the project team in compiling, editing and standardizing the data. It is split into the following sections:- 1) Information provided by the database 2) List of standard reference works used by the project team 3) List of types and sub-types of cases commonly used in the database 4) Standardization of Forenames 5) Standardization of Surnames – Part A 6) Standardization of Surnames – Part B 7) Problematic Place-names – Identification and Standardization Please note that this text is not intended as a guide to on-line catalogue. Users requiring assistance with searching the catalogue should consult the on-screen help text. 2 Editing and standardisation for the Cause Paper Database 1) Information provided by the database Owing to the volume and complexity of manuscript material involved, it was not possible to provide full transcriptions of the cause papers.
