PLANNING PERMISSION: We have not verified any planning permission and you and your professional adviser must satisfy yourselves of any planning permission or building regulations. Any comments about plan- ning and development are for general guidance only and your professional adviser must advise you. We cannot give Plan of the Land N EL2 Permanent grassland with low inputs in SDAs This option is only available on land inside the SDAs and below the Moorland Line. Permanent grassland managed with low inputs of fertiliser and sprays will sustain a greater variety of plants and wildlife. The development of a varied sward structure is of particular value to insects. Permanent grassland is an important feature of pastoral landscapes and can help to protect buried archaeological features. This option may deliver benefits to resource protection where placed on fields that are at risk of soil erosion or run-off. This option can be used on a whole or part-field basis. For this option, you must comply with the following: „. Maintain as grass. Do not plough, cultivate or re-seed. „. Manage by grazing and/or cutting, but do not cut between 1 April and 31 May. „. Maintain a sward with a range of heights during the growing season so that at least 20 per cent of the sward is less than 7 cm and at least 20 per cent is more than 7 cm, to allow plants to flower and to provide a more varied habitat. You do not need to maintain this height varia- tion when the field is closed or shut up for a cut of hay or silage. „. Do not top at any time, except in patches to control injurious weeds (ie creeping and spear thistles, curled and broad-leaved docks or common ragwort); invasive non-native species (eg Himalayan balsam, rhododendron or Japanese knotweed); bracken or areas dominated by rushes. „. Where scrub is present, prevent further encroachment by grazing, mowing or topping. „. Do not harrow or roll between 1 April and 31 May. „. Supplementary feeding is allowed, but move feeders as often as required to avoid poaching. Do not feed on or next to archaeological features, steep slopes, footpaths or watercourses. „. Do not apply more than 50 kg/ha nitrogen per year as inorganic fertiliser. Where animal manures are applied, either alone or in addition to inorganic fertiliser, the total rate of nitrogen must not exceed 100 kg/ha nitrogen per year. Only apply during the growing season, provided no birds are nesting in the field, and ground conditions are dry enough to prevent soil compaction. If your current manure and fertiliser regime is less than this, you must not increase applications. You may find it useful to refer to the table in Appendix 3 showing average total nitrogen supplied by various manures. „. You may continue adding lime where this is your regular practice. „. Only apply herbicides to spot-treat or weed-wipe for the control of injurious weeds (ie creeping and spear thistles, curled and broad-leaved docks or common ragwort); invasive non-native species (eg Himalayan balsam, rhododendron or Japanese knotweed); or bracken. .

  • Biographies of St. James Vicars (Whitehaven)
    ST. JAMES VICARS BIOGRAPHIES Parish of Whitehaven Publication HS 9 RICHARD ARMITSTEAD Vicar 1790 to 1821 Richard Armitstead was baptised on 20 th January 1766 at Arncliffe St. Oswald’s, North Yorkshire- the second son of Marmaduke Armitstead-a plebian (or commoner). Marmaduke was baptized at Arncliffe on 9th October 1735 (the son of John and Agnes), and was buried on 25 th June 1811 having died on 21 st June. The first child was John (baptized 15 th May 1764, died 1789 4), and later children were Agnes (19 th July 1767), James (2 nd February 1769, died 1708), and Elizabeth (9 th March 1777). Marmaduke had married a Mary Savage of Bolton Percy (SW of York) in 1763 or 1764- the Marriage Bond is dated 10 th March 1763. At the time of the bond being issued Mary was 21, 5 years younger than Marmaduke. The Armitsteads were an old yeoman family from the Craven District of the West Riding of Yorkshire, both Richard’s father and grandfather lived at Litton Hall. It is believed that he attended Ermysted’s Grammar School, Skipton (after an early education at the Village School)- but the records are insufficient to prove that. 1 Litton Hall had been leased by Marmaduke’s father, who had also owned New House Farm at Halton Gill. Marmaduke and Mary lived at Prospect House, Arncliffe (near the Falcon Inn). Marmaduke’s brother, Richard, built Armistead Farm at Litton in 1734 Nothing is known of his early life, but he matriculated to Queens College, Oxford as a batter on 25 th June 1784.

  • Project Proposal Amerdale Estate, River Skirfare & Cosh Beck
    Project Proposal Amerdale Estate, River Skirfare & Cosh Beck September 2020 1.0 Introduction & Rationale The Amerdale Estate (Littondale) requested input from the Wild Trout Trust to assess issues and recommend solutions for habitat improvements along the uppermost reaches of the Skirfare and one of its major tributaries, Cosh Beck. This report was compiled by Prof Jonathan Grey from observations and discussions held during several site visits (including a rudimentary electric-fishing baseline survey) in late summer 2020. The waters of the Estate fall within the waterbody ‘Skirfare from source to Heselden Beck’; waterbody ID GB104027069250, Fig 1. The overall classification for the waterbody in 2019 under the EU Water Framework Directive was ‘Poor’ driven entirely by a failing in the biological quality element ‘Fish’. All other biological elements were at ‘High’ or ‘Good’. This is rather an anomaly as the Reason for Not Achieving Good status has been assigned to natural hydrology, presumably driven by the periodic retreat of short sections of the river below ground during dry spells. Quite how a natural reason can result in a failure is not entirely clear at present. Fig 1. https://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/WaterBody/GB104027069250 Throughout the report, normal convention is applied with respect to the beck bank identification, i.e. left bank (LB) or right bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream and downstream references are often abbreviated to u/s and d/s, respectively, for convenience. 1 2.0 Habitat Assessment The following images are used to exemplify available habitat and highlight issues and opportunities around the channel(s).

  • 6 Yorkshire Dales Catchments
    6 YORKSHIRE DALES CATCHMENTS 6.1 Introduction to the Yorkshire Dales The Carboniferous Limestone outcrop of the northern Pennines is extensive, with approximately 320 km2 of karst terrain located within the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and an additional 220 km2 of karst distributed north of the National Park along Teesdale, Weardale and the Vale of Eden as well as west of the Park in East Lancashire and around the shores of Morecambe Bay (Waltham et al., 1997; Waltham, 2004). Cave development has been less active in these marginal areas and the majority (>70%) of the region’s caves are located within the National Park. It is estimated that the Yorkshire Dales region contains approximately 1500 caves and over 330km of accessible passages, based on the records maintained by the Limestone Research Group (Gunn, 2004) and the Northern Cave Registry (Brook et al., 1988, 1991, 1994). This represents a much higher density of caves than is the case in the Peak District, and the caves of the Yorkshire Dales are generally longer and deeper than their counterparts in the Peak District. In the Yorkshire Dales there is more vertical development of cave passages along structural joints in the limestone, whereas in the Peak District caves tend to develop along bedding planes and mineral veins (Waltham et al., 1997). Many of the major caves lie in the Craven Uplands, a dissected carbonate platform stretching from Grassington in the east to Kirby Lonsdale in the west. The Craven Uplands are cut through by deep, N-S trending river valleys such as the Ribble and Wharfe which show the classic U-shaped profiles formed by glacial action.
