The overall aim of the Phase I is to assess the potential for contamination, its nature and extent in soils present at the site. This report provides a Preliminary (Phase I) Assessment of the site. 1.2 Scope of the Phase I Report including Land Quality Risk Assessment The scope of work involved: • A review of the published geological, hydrogeological and hydrological to establish the sites environmental setting. • A review of the published historical and current Ordnance Survey maps to establish the history of the site and its immediate surroundings. • A review of publically available information from regulatory authority databases. • Provide preliminary recommendations in relation to environmental risk. • Assess the implications of any potential environmental risks, liabilities and development constraints associated with the site in relation to future use and in relation to off site receptors. • Provide a factual and interpretative report relating to the desk study. 1.2 Report Contents This Preliminary Land Quality Risk Assessment report includes: • Information sources • Current and historic land use to obtain information with respect to: o Site history and operations; o Past site activities; o Waste disposal practices if appropriate; o Spills, leaks and possible contaminants of concern. • Site conditions including a description of geology, hydrogeology, hydrology and any existing information on ground conditions. • Potential contaminants, receptors and pathways present on site and the significance of any potential harm to human health or controlled waters. 3 Tanglewood Environmental Limited 2.0 Information Sources 2.1 Desk Study Tanglewood has collected and reviewed various reports and maps to characterize the site and its surrounds, including: • Envirocheck report including historical mapping; • Current Ordnance Survey maps; • Geological Survey of Great Britain maps; • Groundwater Vulnerability maps. 2.2 Risk Classification Tangewood Environmental Limited have utilized the available information, together with experience to assess the likely risks from land quality issues. Definitions of the risk terms used are provided in the following table. Table .1. Risk Classification Risk Description Negligible No contamination risk has been identified which is likely to affect development. Low No significant contaminated land risks have been encountered affecting development and a low risk that remediation will be required. Low-Moderate There are unlikely to be significant contaminated land issues associated with the site which adversely affect development. However localized contamination may be present requiring remediation. Moderate Some potential contaminated land risks have been encountered or identified that may affect redevelopment. The risks identified are unlikely to affect the entire site or preclude development. Remediation is considered feasible as part of the development process and no further development is considered necessary. Moderate-High Some potentially significant contaminated land risks have been identified at the site that requires investigation preplanning. It is recommended that a separate remedial methodology is prepared supported by a site specific risk assessment. High Significant contaminated land risks have been identified and remediation is required supported by further intrusive ground investigation, risk assessment and remedial design. 4 Tanglewood Environmental Limited 3.0 Current and Historic Land Use 3.1 Site Location The site Is located approximately 820m south south west of the village of Melmerby and comprises of an area of land currently part of melmerby industrial estate. The national grid reference is SE33897 75725. The site location is illustrated in the current map extracts in Appendix A. The application site is roughly rectangular in shape and extends to an area of 46000m2. 3.2 Current Land Use The site is currently located in an industrial area, which sits in the larger agricultural borough of Ripon. The closes residential properties are located approximately 820m to the north, north east of the site. 3.3 Historical Land Use and Surrounding Area Historical maps of the site indicate that the site has been agricultural until the development of the industrial estate in the 1970s. Historical map extracts are presented in Appendix B and a summary presented in the table below. Table 2 Historical Land Use Map Edition On Site Surroundings 1855 Shown as agricultural field Agricultural area. 1975 The industrial estate has been developed. Relatively unchanged. Present Relatively unchanged Relatively unchanged. 5 Tanglewood Environmental Limited 4.0 Site Conditions 4.1 Geology Underlying geology comprises of undifferentiated Triassic rock (dolomitic imestone, gypsum, mudstone and marls) and glacial drift (clay). Made ground may also be present at the site. 4.2 Hydrogeology According to the Envirocheck report, the site is indicated to be underlain by a Principle Aquifer which is understood to be associated with the limestone. As defined by the Environment Agency, Principle Aquifers are defined as: These are layers of rock or drift deposits that have high intergranular and/or fracture permeability - meaning they usually provide a high level of water storage. They may support water supply and/or river base flow on a strategic scale. In most cases, principal aquifers are aquifers previously designated as major aquifer. The nearest groundwater abstraction point, Licence Number 2/27/22/460 is owned by The Potter Group Ltd located to the north of the application area. The site is not located in a Source Protection Zone. 4.3 Hydrology The closes surface water feature is the Hallikeld Stell, approximately 500m south east from the site boundary. The nearest surface abstraction point, Licence Number 2/27/22/043 is owned by Yorkshire Water Services Limited 163, to the south east. The site is not in a flood vulnerability area. 4.4 Waste Disposal Sites There are no waste management sites recorded within 500m. 6 Tanglewood Environmental Limited 5.0 Preliminary Risk Assessment 5.1 Land Quality Risk Assessment This section of the report uses the information gathered in previous sections and aims to identify potential contaminants, pathways and receptors. The elements of the conceptual model in the tables that follow are also used in section 6, which considers potential pollutant linkages, their significance and liability. 5.2 Contaminants (Sources) The statutory guidance for Part IIA, DETR Circular 02/2000, defines a contaminant as: “a substance which is in, on or under the land which has the potential to cause harm or pollution to controlled waters.” As a result of this review, the following potential contaminant sources have been identified at the site, On Site • Historical use associated with a general industry and the electrical substation. Off Site • Hazardous substances consent, expected to be paints and glazes. The following table summarises the potential contaminants/sources associated with the site. Table 3 Potential Contaminants/Sources Contaminant Sources Notes Phase Solid phase Made ground: Made ground is understood to be – present at the site due to historical particles of Metals, hydrocarbons, development, therefore the contaminants.

I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

It passes close to a number of significant but often overlooked monuments that are up to 6,000 years old. The earliest of these are the long, narrow enclosures known as cursus. These were followed by massive ditched and banked enclosures called henges and then smaller monuments, including round barrows. The A1 also passes by Iron Age settlements and Roman towns, forts and villas.

As you read on you may question and you may criticize, but hopefully you will understand, they are my feelings only, please respect them. For a big part of her life my Mum had an illness disorder known as “Bi-polar or Manic depression” The illness tends to run in families and appears to have a genetic link in fact this illness is and was prevalent in the Daulton family. So now what are you thinking? Some of you will immediately say “oh gosh” I don’t want to know and put this away in the too hard file. Some of you will read on through curiosity and respect and then file it. But I sincerely hope some of you will show a genuine interest and will openly and with deep concern continue on with your learning of this illness.

  • Thornborough Final Review
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews CULT, RELIGION AND PILGRIMAGE ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT THE NEOLITHIC AND BRONZE AGE MONUMENT COMPLEX OF THORNBOROUGH, NORTH YORKSHIRE BY J HARDING CBA Research Report 174, 2013. 236 pp, 155 figs with 29 col plates (59 figs in digital appendices), 11 tables (32 tables in digital appendices), ISBN 978-1-902771-97-7, pb, £25 This impressive Research Report took me, enthralled, down memory lane. I had been one of a happy band of undergraduates at Oxford University who dug at Dorchester-on-Thames (Oxfordshire) under the inspired leadership of Richard Atkinson in the late 1940s. I maintained my links with Dorchester and Atkinson by sharing directorship of an excavation of the major henge monument there, Big Rings, Site XIII, with an underlying ring-ditch containing a possible timber building, Site XIV (Whittle et al 1992). The Big Rings, its bank between two ditches and opposed entrances, class IIA in Atkinson’s classification, had no obvious analogy in southern England. Arminghall (Norfolk; Clark 1936) is double-ditched, to be sure; but with single entrance and a timber structure within, it was obviously different. Condicote (Gloucestershire), a double-ditched possible henge monument, was almost unknown at that time and its full character has yet to be established (Saville 1983). But we knew of the existence of three close-spaced henge monuments to the north of Ripon in north-east Yorkshire, the Thornborough Circles, which appeared to be identical if a little larger. The Yorkshire sites invited our attention. The Big Rings (with a spectacular Beaker burial positioned outside its northern entrance, Site XII) had also produced Beaker sherds in a primary position in one butt-end of the inner ditch at its southern entrance and it seemed reasonable therefore to attempt a restricted examination of one of the Thornborough Circles to see if all these henges were similar in period and culture.

  • Subsidence Hazards Caused by the Dissolution of Permian Gypsum in England: Geology, Investigation and Remediation
    SUBSIDENCE HAZARDS CAUSED BY THE DISSOLUTION OF PERMIAN GYPSUM IN ENGLAND: GEOLOGY, INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION A H Cooper, British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG. This is a recompiled version of the final draft of the published paper, it is presented with coloured versions of the figures and may differ slighly from the published edited version. Please respect copyright of BGS/NERC and refer to the final published version if you wish to quote the work. Published as: Cooper, AH. 1998. Subsidence hazards caused by the dissolution of Permian gypsum in England: geology, investigation and remediation. 265–275 in: Geohazards in engineering geology, Maund, JG, Eddleston, M (eds.). Geological Society of London. Special Publications in Engineering Geology, 15. ABSTRACT About every three years natural catastrophic subsidence, caused by gypsum dissolution, occurs in the vicinity of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. Holes up to 35 m across and 20 m deep have appeared without warning. In the past 150 years, 30 major collapses have occurred, and in the last ten years the resulting damage to property is estimated at about £1,000,000. Subsidence, associated with the collapse of caves resulting from gypsum dissolution in the Permian rocks of eastern England, occurs in a belt about 3 km wide and over 100 km long. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) dissolves rapidly in flowing water and the cave systems responsible for the subsidence are constantly enlarging, causing a continuing subsidence problem. Difficult ground conditions are associated with caves, subsidence breccia pipes (collapsed areas of brecciated and foundered material), crown holes and post-subsidence fill deposits.

  • MS Dep 1980/1 Archives of the Dean and Chapter Of
    Handlist 47 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Archives of the Dean and Chapter of Ripon MS Dep 1980/1 The greater part of their accumulated archives was very generously deposited recently in the Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds by the Dean and Chapter of Ripon. It is hoped that by this arrangement the material will be more conveniently accessible to the majority of researchers. A few items, however, remain at Ripon because they are currently in use or are on permanent display to visitors. The cathedral was a parish church before it was raised to its present status and the parish registers are deposited at the North Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton. This list includes both the material remaining at Ripon and that at Northallerton. The archives of the Dean and Chapter have been listed twice before. A summary list was prepared for the Pilgrim Trust in 1946. A much fuller list was compiled for the National Register of Archives (Historical Manuscripts Commission) and issued in 1959. Upon the archives being inspected after their arrival at Leeds it was immediately apparent that the collection contained even more than had been listed in 1959, and it was decided with the ready concurrence of the Commission, that a new listing would be essential. This new list has been designed to avoid as much confusion as possible. It follows the style and numeration of the 1959 list and new entries have been inserted as close as possible to suitable places within its original framework. Some documents had identifications unrelated to the serial numbers used in that list; they have now been numbered to correspond and the additional items have been given appropriate subdivisions within the original notation.

The Register provides an Wannual snapshot of historic sites known to be at risk from neglect, decay or inappropriate development. Nationally, there are more barrows on the Register than any other type of site. The main risk to their survival is ploughing. The good news is that since 2014 we have reduced the number of barrows at risk by over 130, by working with owners and, in particular, Natural England to improve their management. This picture is repeated in Yorkshire, where the greatest concentration of barrows at risk is in the rich farmland of the Wolds.

  • Local Plan Area Is Generally Very High
    CHAPTER 8 - AMENITY CHAPTER 8 AMENITY BACKGROUND 8.1 The quality of the environment and amenity in the Local Plan area is generally very high. Whilst there are no major problems of noise, water or air pollution, there are localised effects resulting from such land uses as the sewage works, former waste disposal sites, Ministry of Defence training areas and industry being located in close proximity to residential areas. Furthermore, the difficulty of identifying sites for development has resulted in land being allocated close to some of these ‘bad neighbour’ uses in certain circumstances. 8.2 New development itself may be a potential source of nuisance, or have an adverse impact on residential or visual amenity. This can range from small scale development such as a garage workshop through to major projects such as large pig rearing installations or new flood defence works. The Council wishes to ensure that such development does not have an adverse effect on the health, safety and amenity of the general public. 8.3 The drainage and geology of the District also pose environmental constraints which often require special and early consideration in dealing with development proposals. A number of the main settlements are affected by river flood plains, particularly those associated with the Rivers Nidd and Ure. Areas in and around Ripon are affected by a belt of underlying gypsum which leads to localised subsidence problems. 8.4 When considering proposals for development, it is important that a careful assessment is made of the environmental impact of development together with possible problems of pollution, flooding and ground instability.
