The concerns raised include: • Impact on the character of the village of Wrelton; • Impact on existing sewerage system; • Impact on the open countryside; • Impact on wildlife; • Public footpath; and • The field was an uncultivated ridge and furrow field. Site History Members will note that the holiday park has a significant planning history. In 1975 the holiday park accommodated 120 holiday units which consisted of 80 static caravans and 40 touring caravan pitches, tent pitches were also provided. In 1982 this was increased to 88 static caravans and 72 touring caravans. The existing plan of Annex A indicates to Members the layout of the site at this point. In 2004 planning permission was then granted to increase the number of static caravans by an additional 8 to 96. To accommodate these additional units a reorganisation of the site layout was required indicated by the proposed plan of Annex A. Tent accommodation within the holiday park was ceased at this point. Finally, in 2006 planning permission was granted to increase the number of static caravans from 96 to 118. Annex B indicates how the additional static holiday units were accommodated on site. As a result of this permission the number of touring caravan pitches was reduced to 41. Taking the above into consideration, it can be concluded that the application site currently has planning permission for 118 static holiday units and 41 touring caravan pitches. Despite this, in order to provide better amenity space within the site, the applicant has confirmed that currently only 113 static holiday units are located on site. This means that, whilst the application proposes an additional 38 static holiday units, the proposal would in actual fact only increase the number of static holiday units that have planning permission on the site by 33 to 151 units. The applicant has agreed this maximum number of static holiday units. Principle The latest Government advice is included in the National Planning Policy Framework which includes: “3. Supporting a prosperous rural economy 28. Planning policies should support economic growth in rural areas in order to create jobs and prosperity by taking a positive approach to sustainable new development. To promote a strong rural economy, local and neighbourhood plans should: • Support sustainable growth and expansion of all types of business and enterprise in rural areas, both through conversion of existing buildings and well designed new buildings; • Promote the development and diversification of agricultural and other land-based rural businesses; • Support sustainable rural tourism and leisure developments that benefit businesses in rural areas, communities and visitors, and which respect the character of the countryside. This should include supporting the provision and expansion of tourist and visitor facilities in appropriate locations where identified needs are not met by existing facilities in rural service centres; and 0,!..).' #/--)44%% /£¥Ø¢•≤ • Promote the retention and development of local services and community facilities in villages, such as local shops, meeting places, sports venues, cultural buildings, public houses and places of worship.” In addition to the above advice, guidance is provided within the Good Practice Guide on Planning for Tourism (May 2006). The Good Practice Guide explores the importance of tourism for the rural economy highlighting that holiday, touring caravan, and chalet parks provide approximately 22% of the all the country’s holiday beds. As previously demonstrated above, this application proposes to increase the overall capacity of the site to 151 static units and 41 touring units, resulting in a total of 192 units on the site. This increase in units has led to concerns from nearby residents highlighting that development would increase the scale of the holiday park to such an extent that it would adversely impact upon the character of the nearby Wrelton village. These concerns are echoed by Officers however this application should be assessed in regards to the impact of the additional 33 static units. One such impact to consider is related to the level of traffic generated from the development. In respect of this, it will be noted that the application site benefits from a link onto the A170 principle road which would avoid Wrelton village. It is anticipated that the vast majority of vehicle trips to and from the site will be via this route reducing the impact of development on the village. The number of additional static holiday units proposed is 38 (33 above what currently has permission) therefore whilst the total number of holiday units on the site would be significant, it is considered that given the strong stance of the NPPF to support the growth and expansion of the rural economy (as identified above) the impact of this increase in scale would be acceptable in principle, subject to other material considerations. Landscape Impact Policy ENV3 seeks to ensure that development in the Areas of High Landscape Value will not materially detract from the special scenic quality of the area stating "Within the two Areas of High Landscape Value. The District Council will generally resist development proposals which would materially detract from the landscape character of the area. However, the Council is particularly anxious that this landscape designation does not unduly hamper proposals of economic and social benefit and will, therefore, support small-scale proposals provided that they will not significantly detract from the landscape character of the area." In this case, the proposals would form an extension to the business located to the north of the existing holiday park.

It seeks the origin ofthe parish system in the 7th century with the establishment of monasteria in accordance with the theory, the 'minster' hypothesis, that these were the minsters of the Middle Ages and the ancient parish churches of today. The territory of the monasterium, its parochia, was that of the secular royal vill, because kings granted these lands with the intention that monasteries provided pastoral care to the royal vill.

  • Yorkshire & the Humber
    Yorkshire & The Humber Woodfuel Directory 2011 www.forestry.gov.uk/yhwoodfuel Atmospheric carbon dioxide, water and sunlight Woodfuel CO2 Lean Fuel Carbon released back into the atmosphere Converted into new plant material through photosynthesis Which is harvested and burnt 2 Yorkshire & The Humber Woodfuel Directory 2011 www.forestry.gov.uk/yhwoodfuel Introduction Yorkshire and The Humber is a diverse and varied “region with a long history of power generation and solid fuel installations, previously based on the region’s coal resource. This, when combined with the potential to secure a signifi cant increase in biomass from the region’s under-managed woodlands, gives us a unique opportunity to help continue our move to a low U Rudie Humphrey carbon economy through the use of renewable energy. The development of the Woodfuel Strategy (launched in 2005) was seen as a key step in taking forwards the opportunities that woodfuel across the region presents. This fi rst regional directory is a manifestation of this. Its aim is to reinforce the links in the woodfuel supply chain in order to ensure consistent and effective delivery on the ground. The priorities are drawn from the already agreed regional ‘Vision for Biomass’ – connecting suppliers with producers was one of its key objectives. The Forestry Commission now seeks to build on the work of the South Yorkshire Woodfuel cluster and the supply chain development programme; the Wood Energy Co-ordinator recruitment in the White Rose Forest; and Yorkshire Woodfuels co-ordinated by Yorwoods. We are grateful to all of these partners and the Biomass Energy Centre who have proved vital in the development of this directory.

  • 1 Diamicton from the Vale of Pickering and Tabular Hills, North
    Diamicton from the Vale of Pickering and Tabular Hills, north-east Yorkshire: evidence for a Middle Pleistocene (MIS8) glaciation? John H. Powell, Jonathan R. Ford and James B. Riding 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, United Kingdom *Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] (J.H. Powell) ABSTRACT Diamicton deposits (up to 6.90 m thick) in the Vale of Pickering and the Tabular Hills (North York Moors) have been confirmed by cored boreholes. The diamicton is interpreted as glacial till with a matrix consisting predominantly of grey-brown, yellow-brown and dark grey, stiff to very stiff clay and sandy clay with occasional thin beds of laminated sand and clay. Sub-rounded to sub-angular erratic clasts were sourced predominantly from local Upper Jurassic Corallian Group bedrock exposed in the southern part of the North York Moors. Clasts include well-rounded, pebbles of Jurassic sandstone, mudstone and sparse Jurassic coal derived from outcrops on the North York Moors. Fragments of underlying Upper Jurassic mudstone bedrock form the predominant clasts in the lower part of the till. The paucity of exotic clasts and a local derivation suggests a relatively small glacier - perhaps a temperate-plateau ice-field, was established on the Tabular Hills. The glacier subsequently advanced southwards to the Vale of Pickering depositing locally derived subglacial traction till at the base, passing up to lodgement till. Local preservation of the degraded till outcrops in the Vale of Pickering, the overconsolidated nature of the clay till matrix, striated pebbles and the presence of sub-rounded pebbles suggests deposition during a glacial cold stage post-MIS 12 (Anglian) and pre-MIS 2 (Devensian).

  • The Aislaby, Middleton and Wrelton Parish Plan Revisited 2019-20
    THE AISLABY, MIDDLETON AND WRELTON PARISH PLAN REVISITED 2019-20 In 2019 the Parish Council representing the combined parishes of Aislaby, Middleton and Wrelton undertook to review the Parish Plan that was published over a decade earlier in 2008 (a summary of which is available to view on the Parish Council website at aislaby- middleton-wrelton.ryedaleconnect.org.uk). The aim was to re-evaluate what is, or is not, important to residents within the community, to provide a framework within which representatives of our community can make informed decisions or push for change to help improve and protect the quality of life within our three parishes. To help canvass opinion about a range of possible issues, a questionnaire was distributed in August 2019 to 328 households. 91 (29%) questionnaires were returned. A summary of the results are given at the end of this document and the full results can be found on the Parish Council website. The information provided will be of benefit not only to the Parish Council but also to our District and County councillors, and individuals or groups that require to demonstrate support or seek guidance on the way in which the community feels about current or potential future issues. Following, we provide an update on the major concerns raised in the original plan, outline some of the opinions given in the 2019 survey, and provide information about where responsibilities lie for some of the amenities and services within our community and where further information can be sought. The areas that were deemed to be the most important across all three communities in the 2019 survey were: for the village halls to be retained as key venues for local groups and community events; for public transport services to be maintained; for the pavements in the villages to be kept in good repair; for fly-tipping to be tackled, the latter being a particular concern for Wrelton residents.
