  • Planning Strategy
    ENVIRONMENT INTRODUCTION 4.1 Increasing pressure for change is being placed on the environment of the Plan area which is evident in both built-up areas and the surrounding countryside. Agricultural practices have already removed many traditional landscape features and recent surveys carried out independently and on behalf of the District Council reveal continuing losses of wildlife habitats. Existing settlements are also subject to continuing development pressures. 4.2 The District Council’s strategic land use strategy for achieving sustainable forms of development is set out in Chapter 2. An essential ingredient of sustainability is the environmental legacy likely to be left to future generations. The need to protect and enhance the environmental assets of the Plan area is therefore given primary importance in this Local Plan. 4.3 Alongside the more recognised concerns for the quality of the natural and built environment and the effects of new development, there is an increasing awareness about the impact of pollution and potential loss of non-renewable resources. Policies in this chapter set out the District Council’s response to these concerns. The policies are arranged in four sections: General Environmental Considerations, Nature Conservation, Landscape and Built Environment. STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK 4.4 The underlying strategy of the North Yorkshire County Structure Plan (Alteration No 3, 1995) is one of restraint in order to protect the important natural resources and high quality environment of the County. The Structure Plan includes conservation policies to safeguard important landscapes and wildlife habitats, and to protect buildings and areas of special townscape, architectural or historic interest, and sites of archaeological importance.

  • Hazelwood Park
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Selby District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Hazelwood Park Report by Susan Kellerman and Dick Knight [June 2018] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site Hazelwood Park NB. The house known today as Hazlewood Castle, together with its historic park and estate, have undergone a number of variations in name and spelling over the last eight centuries. For the purposes of this report on the designed landscape, Hazelwood Park has been adopted, in line with the Historic Environment Record. Direct contemporary references will remain as in the original. 1.2 Grid reference SE4488339770 1.3 Administrative area Selby District of North Yorkshire (current), West Riding of Yorkshire (historic) Parish: Stutton with Hazlewood; Leeds 1.4 Current site designation Not on the Historic England Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Hazelwood was the seat of the Vavasour family for over 800 years, from the time of Domesday until the estate was put up for sale in 1907 (Figures 1, 2). At that time, the estate of 3806 acres (1540.234 hectares) comprised Hazelwood Castle, St Leonard’s Chapel, gardens, parkland, woodland, farms, farmland (arable and livestock), cottages, etc. In addition to Hazelwood, the Vavasours owned manors and land across Yorkshire and in Staffordshire. Failing to find a buyer in 1907, the Castle and the reduced estate of 1065 acres was again offered for sale in 1908. Subsequent changes of ownership led to further break-up of the estate, and culminated in the Castle itself becoming a hotel in 1997.

  • Aristocratic Marriage in Ireland, 1750-1820. Belfast: Ulster Historical Foundation, 1982 and Various Works by Toby Barnard
    Report into Exercise Scoping Yorkshire-Irish Connections, 1660-1930 Author: David Gent, Department of History, University of York Introduction Until 1922, Great Britain and Ireland were (politically, if not culturally) one nation. This has naturally led scholars to examine the implications of this relationship and how it operated. However, the historiography of the relationship between Britain and Ireland has concentrated on ‘high politics’, paying relatively less attention to how connections between the two countries at a social level1. Moreover, although there are some notable exceptions, there have been few studies into how Anglo-Irish connections operated at the level of individuals and dynasties. Alongside Dr Terry Dooley of the National University of Ireland (Maynooth), Dr Allen Warren and Dr Christopher Ridgway of the Yorkshire Country House Partnership have formulated a project to explore the connections between Yorkshire and Ireland in the lives of individuals and families across a wide variety of dimensions; social, economic, genealogical, cultural, educational, military and ecclesiastical as well as political. The project encompasses the period 1660-1930, thus incorporating the establishment of many Anglo-Irish dynasties in the seventeenth century, the Union between Britain and Ireland in 1800, and the build up to and aftermath of independence in 1922. I was commissioned to scope Yorkshire-Irish connections in this period, and to record archival resources which may be used to support future research into this topic. A full database of results is appended to this document. It should be noted that this exercise was not restricted to connections between Yorkshire and the modern country of Ireland, but also included what is now Northern Ireland.
