  • Leeds Integrated Station Masterplan and Leeds City Region HS2 Growth Strategy
    Report author: Angela Barnicle/ Lee Arnell / Gareth Read Tel: 0113 378 7745 Report of the Director of City Development Report to Executive Board Date: 18th October 2017 Subject: Leeds Integrated Station Masterplan and Leeds City Region HS2 Growth Strategy Are specific electoral Wards affected? Yes No If relevant, name(s) of Ward(s): All Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Is the decision eligible for Call-In? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, Access to Information Procedure Rule number: Appendix number: Summary of main issues 1. High Speed Two (HS2) has the potential to transform the economy of Leeds and Leeds City Region. However we will not realise the full benefits of HS2 unless we have a coherent and proactive plan for doing so. HS2 is part of a coherent strategy for rail improvements for the Leeds City Region, which includes upgrades of existing routes and services, and Northern Powerhouse Rail, a new fast east-west rail route across the North. 2. Improving and expanding Leeds Station is essential to ensure HS2 is integrated seamlessly with other rail services to create new rail capacity to support growth in Leeds, and to provide a high quality gateway to, and catalyst for, regeneration in the city. This paper seeks approval to the emerging proposals for a long term masterplan for Leeds Station. 3. It will also be important to ensure Leeds City Centre, and our people and businesses are HS2 ready. This paper also seeks approval

No. The GNDP has withdrawn Focussed Changes . Soundness of the proposal B2 Is this strategic allocation justified, effective and consistent with national policy? No, as answer B1 above. B3 Does the amended concept statement provide sound guidance for the development? Are the content and objectives of the two maps in the concept statement effectively communicated, or does the key need to include further explanation of the ‘areas of green space’ and the ‘constraints and opportunities for new development? The amended concept statement has been withdrawn. There is a lack of clarity however over the status of Rackheath eco-community and the eco-town concept in general. In NNTAG’s statement for 1A(3), we raised concern over the GNDP lack of consultation on minor change from eco-community to ‘low carbon development’. Furthermore, in a letter to Snub in June 2010, Grant Shapps, the Housing Minister said: “Under Conservatives there will be no special status for eco-towns over and above any other housing. This is because we want to see all housing to be eco-friendly…..We will also ensure that where houses are built will become entirely a matter for local communities rather than directed by Ministers in Whitehall.

  • Moseley in the Nineteenth Century: Transport
    Moseley in the Nineteenth Century: Transport. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Moseley was a small, rural, idyllic village. By the end of the century, Moseley had changed considerably. One regular visitor to Moseley, Thomas Anderton, writing in 1900, recalled Moseley in the early 1840s and described the changes (Illustration 1):1 As for Moseley . it was a pretty little village in those days. The old village green, the rustic country inns (of which the "Fighting Cocks" was the chief), and some low-roofed, old-fashioned houses, backed by the parish church tower, made up a picture which still remains in my mind's eye. Beyond Moseley Church was a pretty road to Moseley Wake Green, in which were, if I remember rightly, one or two timbered houses and some old-fashioned residences, surrounded by high trees. Many of these have now disappeared. In another direction from the church was a country road running to Sparkbrook, and near which were an important house and lands belonging to the wealthy Misses Anderton, whose possessions have been heard of in more recent days. I now often visit Moseley, and change, but not decay, in all around I see. The prevailing colour of the old village green is now red brick, and the modern colour does not agree so well with my vision as the more rustic tones of a bygone day; whilst the noise and bustle of tram cars, the swarms of suburban residents that emerge from the railway station (especially at certain times in the day), are fast wiping out the peaceful, pretty Moseley of my youthful days.

Local government boundary changes in the early 1970s led to the creation of the Cleveland and HuMberside Counties. Cleveland and adjacent constituencies have been included in the Index for the North East Region. HuMberside constituencies coMMencing with the General Election of February 1974 are included in the Yorkshire Region. The region has been home to an impressive gallery of party personalities, several of whoM receive extended entries. The spirited independence with respect to LPO HQ in London which the Yorkshire Regional Party has often shown, and the relatively strong direction it has exerted over its constituency associations, would account for the formidable challenge maintained in the Region at successive general elections, even in the direst years of party fortunes. Yorkshire appears to have been rather less willing in 1950 to heed to the dictates of the Martell Plan (see article below) than other regions. Even so, until the 1970s there were several Labour-held Mining and industrial constituencies where the Party declined to fight. InforMation on Many candidates reMains sparse.
