It is accessed from the A171 via three separate estate roads:Cholmley Way, Fairfield Way and Enterprise Way. Part of the Business Park is within the North York Moors National Park and the planning function for the site is therefore split between Scarborough Borough Council and the National Park Authority. This creates potential challenges in ensuring that the development of the Business Park is dealt with as a ‘whole’ and that planning applications are determined in a consistent way. Whitby Business Park Area Action Plan º Context Whitby Business Park © Crown copyright and database rights 2013 Ordnance Survey 100024267 Figure 1 Context Map 1.2 Both local planning authorities therefore resolved to produce a joint ‘Area Action Plan’ covering the Business Park as a whole. The Plan is a recognition of the strategic importance of the Business Park in relation to other employment sites in Whitby and in seeking to consolidate and enhance the site it addresses a number of operational issues including highway layout, the 1 Note: a number of different names are used in connection with the site including Stainsacre Lane Industrial Estate and Whitby Business Park. For the purposes of this document the term Whitby Business Park’ has been adopted. 4 Whitby Business Park AAP Adopted Plan Whitby Business Park AAP Adopted Plan amount and type of employment land that will be needed in the future and potential environmental improvements. The purpose of this Area Action Plan is to produce a comprehensive strategy that helps ensure that the Business Park can make an increasingly important contribution to the economy of the area, providing jobs and services in the locality. The York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) is a public private partnership that supports the growth of businesses and good quality jobs. The improvement and expansion of the Business Park will contribute to objectives in the LEP Strategic Economic Plan which seeks to support small businesses and maximise new opportunities. 1.3 It is important to ensure that land is available both for new businesses that want to locate in Whitby, and for existing local businesses who want to expand and adapt their premises to meet changing needs and aspirations, helping to contribute to an expansion of the area's employment and skills base. A thriving Whitby Business Park, with capacity to expand and capture local economic opportunities will be pivotal in meeting these objectives. 1.4 It is important to note that this Area Action Plan has been created in response to the issues presented by the Business Park, its current and future operational requirements and the potential to bring about improvements to the way in which it functions. The development of an offshore wind farm at Dogger Bank may also stimulate the need to provide more serviced land for industries that will support that development. The Area Action Plan does not represent the entire economic strategy for Whitby and its surroundings, which will be addressed further in other parts of the Borough Council's Local Plan as well as in the North York Moors National Park's policy framework. What is an 'Area Action Plan'? 1.5 All local planning authorities are required to produce a Local Plan to provide policies and land allocations to inform all planning related decisions. Area Action Plans are targeted documents that can address specific geographic areas where change is likely to take place, and can ensure co-ordination of decisions and investment. Under Regulations 5 and 6 of Part 3 of the 2012 Plan Making Regulations,(2) Area Action Plans are considered to be a ‘Local Plan’ and must be prepared following the same procedures. 1.6 The Area Action Plan will ultimately form part of Scarborough Borough Council's Local Plan and the North York Moors National Park Authority's Local Development Framework, and all future planning decisions relating to the Business Park will be informed by its contents. 1.7 The Area Action Plan covers the period up to 2026, but the policies will be monitored to assess their effectiveness and continued relevance. A review of this Area Action Plan would be triggered if monitoring suggested the Plan's objectives were not being met, or if circumstances suggested the Plan's contents were outdated. 2 The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning)(England) Regulations 2012 Whitby Business Park AAP Adopted Plan 5 Whitby Business Park AAP Adopted Plan Relationship to other plans and strategies 1.8 All applications for planning permission would be considered against the adopted policies in Scarborough Borough Council’s Local Plan and the North York Moors National Park Core Strategy and Development Policies, as well as the policies in this Area Action Plan. The adoption of the Area Action Plan will supersede Policy I2 of the Scarborough Borough Local Plan 1999 and the Proposals Map. 1.9 The National Planning Policy Framework was published by Government on 27th March 2012. It emphasises the role of the planning system in contributing to building a strong, responsive and competitive economy and supporting sustainable economic growth. It notes that Plans should recognise and address barriers to investment such as a poor environment or lack of infrastructure, identify strategic sites, support existing sectors and plan for the expansion of clusters of specialised industries. It is considered that this plan fully meets all those objectives. Although the statutory Development Plan remains the starting point for decision making, the NPPF establishes a presumption in favour of sustainable development which has three dimensions – economic, social and environmental. Policy 1 Presumption in Favour of Sustainable Development When considering development proposals the Authorities will take a positive approach that reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework. They will always work proactively with applicants jointly to find solutions which mean that proposals can be approved wherever possible, and to secure development that improves the economic, social and environmental conditions in the area. Planning applications that accord with the policies in this Area Action Plan (and, where relevant, with policies in neighbourhood plans) will be approved without delay, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Where there are no policies relevant to the application or relevant policies are out of date at the time of making the decision then the Authorities will grant permission unless material considerations indicate otherwise – taking into account whether: Any adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole; or Specific policies in that Framework indicate that development should be restricted. 1.10 Paragraph 115 of the National Planning Policy Framework also states that great weight should be given to conserving landscape and scenic beauty in National Parks which have the highest status of protection. The conservation of wildlife and cultural heritage are important considerations in all these areas and should be given great weight. 6 Whitby Business Park AAP Adopted Plan Whitby Business Park AAP Adopted Plan 1.11 The Yorkshire and Humber Plan (the Regional Spatial Strategy) was published in 2008. It provided an overarching strategy for the region as whole, addressing issues such as housing provision and economic development. The Plan was formally revoked by Government on 22 February 2013. Nevertheless the Plan provided some of the initial impetus and context for the development of this Area Action Plan and therefore Appendix A draws out some of the key elements of regional policy that formed the background to this Plan. 1.12 The York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership has produced a Strategic Economic Plan which sets out how it works with partners to

  • THE DEAF-AND-DUMB in the 19Th CENTURY
    THE DEAF-AND-DUMB IN THE 19th CENTURY An East Yorkshire study of children born deaf between 1840 and 1850. Postgraduate Diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies University of Strathclyde Anne Sherman 2014-2015 SHERMAN.Anne_DissFD_final.docx Page 1 06/07/2015 THE DEAF-AND-DUMB IN THE 19th CENTURY: An East Yorkshire study of children born deaf between 1840 and 1850 (inclusive). ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the lives of children in Hull and East Yorkshire, who were born deaf, or became deaf during infancy, between 1840 and 1850, looking specifically for any family history of deafness (relating to their parents, siblings and their own offspring), and if their education affected their choice of occupations and how those occupations compared to those of their parents and hearing siblings. The study used a range of sources to identify relevant children, including the 1851 and 1861 Census returns, a list of students at the Yorkshire institute for the deaf and dumb, people identified from any of the literature, and newspaper reports to assist in obtaining details of the lives of deaf-and-dumb people in general at that time. Contemporary reports suggested that most deaf children were born to deaf parents, however this report demonstrates that this was not true, and agrees with the statistics from 30 Victorian deaf educational establishments in the UK, which found that less than 2% of children had two congenitally deaf parents. Some contemporary literature also suggests the uneducated deaf would be unable to work, and therefore would spend their lives in the workhouse, however this report will argue that in most cases the occupations reflected those of their parents and/or hearing siblings, regardless of their education.

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.

  • North Yorkshire County Council Business and Environmental Services Executive Members 12 March 2021 Whitby Swing Bridge
    North Yorkshire County Council Business and Environmental Services Executive Members 12 March 2021 Whitby Swing Bridge - proposal to close the swing bridge to road traffic, with complementary restrictions in neighbouring Whitby town centre streets, by means of an experimental traffic order. New Quay Road, Bridge Street (Whitby Bridge/‘Whitby swing bridge’), Grape Lane, St Ann’s Staith, Haggersgate, Pier Road and Khyber Pass, Whitby Report of the Assistant Director – Highways and Transportation 1.0 Purpose of report 1.1 To consider the making of an experimental traffic regulation order. 2.0 Background 2.1 During 2020 the general need to provide for socially distanced pedestrian access because of the Covid pandemic highlighted an already existing issue of conflict between pedestrian and vehicular use of Whitby Swing Bridge. Under powers specifically introduced to tackle Covid, a multiagency task group, which included the police, borough and county councils, made the short term emergency decision to make a Temporary Traffic Order close the swing bridge to all motorised and non- motorised vehicular traffic between10:30am to 6pm every weekend to facilitate social distancing. The task group also decided that it was necessary to place a traffic operative at the entrance to St Ann’s Staith/Pier Road every day, to enforce the existing restrictions, which stipulate that only vehicles requiring essential access are permitted between 10:30am to 6pm between 23 March and 30 September. These Covid-related actions remained in force until the end of October last year. 2.2 The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 S122 places a duty on the council as the Traffic Authority to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic (including pedestrians).

The visit was the first short inspection carried out since the school was judged to be good in June 2013. This school continues to be good. Leaders have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. The school has experienced considerable changes in leadership and staffing over the last year during the long-term absence of the substantive headteacher. The effective partnership between school leaders, governors, the local authority and the diocese has ensured that the quality of education and care of the pupils have been of the upmost importance during these changes. Outcomes for pupils continue to be strong. Pupils enjoy their learning and speak proudly of their school and their friendships. They show support and respect for each other. They say that staff make their learning fun and that they feel well cared for. Most parents and carers have a positive view of the learning experiences that their children have.
