  • AGENDA ITEM NO: HAMBLETON DISTRICT COUNCIL Report To
    AGENDA ITEM NO: 5 HAMBLETON DISTRICT COUNCIL Report To: Cabinet 16 July 2013 Subject: TRAVELLERS’ AND SHOWMEN’S SITES PROVISION STRATEGY All Wards Portfolio Holder for Housing, Planning and Waste Management: Councillor B Phillips 1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND: 1.1 This report is to consider the sites recently submitted by private landowners and a strategy of action to meet the established needs in the District by further assessment of possible suitable sites through planning applications. 1.2 The need for Showmen’s plots is approximately 10 at one main yard in Hambleton up to 2019 (North Yorkshire Accommodation Requirements of Showmen, Dec 2009). For Travellers’ pitches (HDC Traveller Housing Needs Study, Sep 2012) it is 11 for the next 5 years, with a further need for 7 by 2022, and 8 more by 2027 (Total 26). Planning permission has since been granted (20 June 2013) for a single Traveller’s family pitch at Sowerby, to the south of Bankside Close, reducing the requirement to 10 for the next 5 years and 25 overall. 1.3 There are no known vacant plots/pitches in the District and no current planning permissions outstanding or possible permissions pending for either type of site provision (other than an outstanding appeal for a pitch at Hailstones Moor, Northallerton). Furthermore there is no Council or other public land available for developing new pitches and plots and no plans for the Council to acquire and develop land for public sites, nor any interest from Registered Providers to develop sites. There is therefore a lack of a supply of specific deliverable sites for the next 5 years and broad locations for developable sites in the next 5-10 and 10-15 years (as required by national policy).

  • Highways England's Litter Strategy
    Litter strategy Our approach Introduction Litter is a serious issue. It harms the environment, upsets our customers and damages our reputation. It also puts our people at risk when they have to collect it and it diverts time and money that’s better spent on improving the road network. Our vision is for ‘a network predominantly free from litter, without compromising safety and delivered affordably’. This strategy describes how we will achieve this by discouraging littering, improving how we collect litter, being more responsive to customer feedback and by working with our partners. It has been developed in consultation with government departments, local authorities, suppliers and other organisations. It forms part of the wider government strategy on litter as set out in Defra’s Litter Strategy for England. Our responsibilities We are responsible for litter collection on motorways and some trunk roads. Local authorities manage litter collection on the rest of the roads in England. Our network is shown in the map on the following page.

The site is currently in agricultural use and has a gentle falling gradient of approximately three metres between its western and eastern boundaries. Access is currently taken from a field gate off a metalled driveway direct from the public highway and this access point, widened and with a reduced gradient would be used to serve the proposed residential development. Cherry trees, within the landscaped highway verge were planted behind the line of the visibility splay and would be retained. The site shares its eastern boundaries with the domestic gardens of dwellings within the existing built up area of the village. These are predominantly formed of hedging with some small scale hedgerow trees and fencing.
