Those who wish to use the Services in November at St Michael’s Silhouette Soldiers as focus for their remembrance will be able to do as we gather outside St John’s at 10:50 am in preparation for the 11:00 am silence, after which people might wish to join a pilgrimage to the Cathedral.

As part of an extensive renovation, a service road was created using the 150mm (6 in) deep GEOWEB 3D soil confinement system. With a permeable aggregate infill, such as that being used on this site, the GEOWEB system allows natural water infiltration. GEOWEB road- ways also improve the load distribution characteristics of the structural fill—reducing base requirements at least 50% as well as reducing long-term maintenance requirements. Without proper support, areas accessed by traffic would rapidly deteriorate to a point where they would become unusable. The relatively poor soil of the local area meant using the GEOWEB roadway system reduced excava- tion and aggregate requirements while minimizing the likelihood of settle- ment and deformation.

APPLICANT: Mr Paul Watson REFUSED. Reason(s) for refusal:- 1 The application proposal would result in the loss of the public house that constitutes an important community facility in the village. The Local Planning Authority consider that the applicant has not shown that all reasonable options to demonstrate that the business could not be sold as a viable concern have been explored and therefore it has not been conclusively demonstrated that there is no longer any interest in operating the premises as a public house, as required by saved Policy CFX of the adopted Harrogate District Local Plan (as altered, 2004). It is held that a long-term view needs to be taken and accordingly it would be premature to sanction its use for conversion to two dwellings and as such the application proposal is contrary to the aims and provisions of Local Plan Policy CFX, which seeks to retain such a community facility. 2 The proposed addition of the pitched roof to the existing rear two-storey extension would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupants of the neighbouring property, by reason of the increased height and proximity to the common boundary, and the overshadowing and loss of outlook that would be caused. The development would therefore be contrary to saved Policies A1, H6 and HD20 of the adopted Harrogate District Local Plan (as altered, 2004).

Terraces and channels, most of which are now relict features well above the altitude of the present river, attest to the impacts of massive meltwater discharge and deposition of sand and gravel outwash, and dynamic river regimes with rapid incision. Through field survey, we have created a detailed geomorphological map of these landforms and glacial and fluvioglacial surface deposits, as well as the terraces and palaeochannels that were abandoned by the river due to avulsion Citation: Innes, J.; Mitchell, W.; and incision-driven course changes.

This is a recompiled version of the final draft of the published paper, it is presented with coloured versions of the figures and may differ slighly from the published edited version. Please respect copyright of BGS/NERC and refer to the final published version if you wish to quote the work. Published as: Cooper, AH. 1998. Subsidence hazards caused by the dissolution of Permian gypsum in England: geology, investigation and remediation. 265–275 in: Geohazards in engineering geology, Maund, JG, Eddleston, M (eds.). Geological Society of London. Special Publications in Engineering Geology, 15. ABSTRACT About every three years natural catastrophic subsidence, caused by gypsum dissolution, occurs in the vicinity of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. Holes up to 35 m across and 20 m deep have appeared without warning. In the past 150 years, 30 major collapses have occurred, and in the last ten years the resulting damage to property is estimated at about £1,000,000. Subsidence, associated with the collapse of caves resulting from gypsum dissolution in the Permian rocks of eastern England, occurs in a belt about 3 km wide and over 100 km long. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) dissolves rapidly in flowing water and the cave systems responsible for the subsidence are constantly enlarging, causing a continuing subsidence problem. Difficult ground conditions are associated with caves, subsidence breccia pipes (collapsed areas of brecciated and foundered material), crown holes and post-subsidence fill deposits.

    Growth Strategy

    Harrogate District Local Plan: Publication Draft 2018 Harrogate District Growth Strategy Harrogate Borough Council 23 Harrogate District Local Plan: Publication Draft 2018 3 Harrogate District Growth Strategy Harrogate District Growth Strategy: Key Facts Household projections show household growth across the district of 11% between 2004-35, which is a lower level of growth than the region (15%) and England (20%). The three main urban areas of Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon support the largest concentrations of the district's population. Since the Harrogate District Local Plan was adopted in 2001 these settlements, together with the market towns of Boroughbridge, Masham and Pateley Bridge, have accommodated the majority of new growth. The district has a large rural area containing villages and hamlets ranging from larger villages with local services and facilities down to small clusters of houses. There is a need to ensure that rural settlements can continue to support local village services. The district has high levels of employment and the highest rate of business start-ups of any district within the Leeds City Region. The district’s residents are some of the most qualified in the north of England. The local economy has a number of prominent high-value sectors (including wholesale, professional services and media) alongside a thriving visitor economy. Despite high resident skill levels and average earnings, workplace wages in the district are considerably lower than the regional and national average, with a disproportionate skew in local employment towards low value sectors. In the west of the district lies the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which covers some 233 sq miles; more generally the district has high quality natural, built and historic environments.
