ISBN: GENE1109BRCL-E-P December 2010 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Esk and Coastal Streams Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Esk and Coastal Streams catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Esk and Coastal Streams CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs out in the past which reduce the risk in key areas such for England and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have as Skinningrove. In total there are 853 properties assessed inland flood risk across all of England and currently at risk during a 1 per cent event (not taking Wales for the first time. The CFMP considers all types into account defences). This will increase to 866 of inland flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface properties in the future. water and tidal flooding, but not flooding directly We cannot reduce flood risk on our own, we will from the sea (coastal flooding), which is covered by therefore work closely with all our partners to improve Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs).

    AMR 2019 Authority Monitoring Report Scarborough Borough Council September 2019 Authority Monitoring Report 2019 i Executive Summary Executive Summary This is the Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) 2018/19 for the Scarborough Borough Local Plan which is required to be published under the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. It sets out the progress in Local Plan production and the implementation of policies. The AMR measures various indicators to assess the performance of planning policies set out in the adopted Local Plan and helps understand the wider social, environmental and economic issues affecting the Borough. The Authority is required to produce an AMR at least once every 12 months. This AMR relates mainly to the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019, except where data was not available for this exact time period, or it made sense to provide more recent data. The report on the progress of the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and specific elements of Local Plan preparation has been written to be as up-to-date as possible as has the housing position. The report has been produced in accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. There is no longer a requirement to submit the report to the Secretary of State. However, reports must be made public. The new Local Plan was adopted in July 2017 and this is the second iteration of the AMR to rely on the monitoring framework as detailed within Chapter 11 of the Local Plan. Where relevant, each chapter contains the monitoring indicators that are related to that subject area.

  • Woodlands Historic Report
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST NYMNPA Historic Designed Landscapes Project Woodlands Report by Linda Chapman [August 2019] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Woodlands 1.2 Grid reference: NZ 861 080 1.3 Administrative area: Aislaby Civil Parish, Scarborough District, North Yorkshire County (modern), North Riding of Yorkshire County (historic), North York Moors National Park Authority 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 Woodlands was the house and estate of the Yeoman family for over 200 years. Henry Walker Yeoman I began to develop the estate and laid out a picturesque landscape from 1795, possibly under the guidance of his head gardener Alexander Willison. After his death in 1800 and for the remainder of the century, the estate was mainly tenanted and the landscape was little altered. In 1901, five spinster sisters of the Yeoman family inherited the Woodlands estate. Under their ownership the grounds were further developed and the garden was opened to the public regularly for charitable purposes. Between 1919 and 1921 the sisters had the house remodelled by the well- known York architect Walter Brierley, who had collaborated with Gertrude Jekyll in his own and other gardens. He may therefore have used that experience to influence the sisters with Jekyll’s style of gardening such as the extensive herbaceous borders. 1 After 1939, large parts of the wider estate were sold and following the death of Charlotte Yeoman in 1958, the remainder of the estate was sold off in 12 lots.

  • York Potash Project
    North York Moors National Park Authority York Potash Project Review of Alternative Sites Assessment May 2015 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited 3 © Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited Executive summary The Alternative Sites Assessment (ASA) has been produced by Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners (NLP) with contributions from several consultancies that form part of the York Potash Limited (YPL) team. An initial draft was produced in May 2014 and submitted to the North York Moors National Park Authority (NYMNMP) for comment. A preliminary review of the draft ASA was undertaken by Amec Foster Wheeler on behalf of the NYMNPA and written feedback provided to NLP in June 2014. Further limited consultation took place between the parties prior to the submission of the final ASA with the planning application on 30 September 2014. The final ASA was not updated by the formal submission of Supplementary Environmental Information (SEI) on 16 February 2015. However, a conference call was held between YPL, the NYMNPA and their respective key consultants on 17 March 2015 to discuss geology related matters and further geological information was provided with regard to a historical borehole (E3) three days later. Amec Foster Wheeler’s ASA review deals with the key issues in a sequential way, starting with the planning and environmental constraints, before detailed consideration is given to the specific requirements of what is termed the ‘Major Development Test’, i.e. ‘the scope for and cost of developing elsewhere outside the designated area’, as required by the second bullet point of paragraph 116 of the NPPF. With respect to our review of the planning and environmental constraints, we have determined that we do not agree with the findings of RHDHV and NLP.
