In the Parish this is marked by an Ash Wednesday service, which this year will be at All Saints, Wighill starting at 7.30pm. Lent is an important time in our Christian calendar. It is a time for Giving Up, Giving In, Giving Over. Giving Up "For where your treasure is, there also will be your heart." Matthew 6:21 Many people at Lent ‘Give Up’ a variety of things, with Sweets, Fizzy Drinks, Alcohol or Chocolate being the obvious. But the motives behind what we ‘give up’ are worth challenging. Do we give up things to prove to ourselves we can? Do we give things up because we want to benefit, may be through losing a bit of weight or saving a bit of money? Lent is about giving up those things that we are placing too much value on. It’s about rebalancing our relationships with God, other people and ourselves. It’s about asking the question ‘Am I putting the things I am giving up ahead of the love I have for God and other people? The things we treasure in this life is where we place our heart and our love. Lent is a time to get the balance right between what we should love and what we actually love. This isn’t about the physical things we can give up. We may want to address particular habits or a state of our mind that is getting in the way. In 2017 the Daily Telegraph listed the most popular things to give up for Lent. As well as the obvious things they also listed ‘complaining’ and ‘sarcasm’. Habits that can and do generate a less than loving attitude and state of mind for God and other people. What to give up at Lent takes thought and prayer. The benefits of this are something to be truly valued as we realign our relationships with God, other people and ourselves. 3 Giving In Discerning what we should give up at Lent involves ‘Giving In’. As we put down things that get in the way of the love we have for God and other people we naturally ‘give in’ and accept that we are not the centre of our universe. We ‘give in’ and put God first. God the source of love is to be relied upon. Another way to look at this is to think about the changes we want to make in our lives during Lent. If we think we can make these changes under our own strength, then I would question whether we are making the right changes. All of us have things (or sins) that we know shouldn’t be there. If you are like me, we tend to satisfy ourselves by getting rid of the things where we know it will be relatively easy to do so. We go for the ‘low hanging fruit’ and avoid the really big things ‘the elephant in the room’ (apologies for the clichés). We tend only to tackle the things we know we can handle. We fail to give in and recognise how we need to rely on God’s strength to give up those things we cannot tackle under our own strength. Giving Over Lent doesn’t stop at ‘giving up’ or with ‘giving in’. To truly re-establish right relationships during Lent the natural thing is then to ‘give over’. A true relationship with God and others is about not putting ourselves first. We may think this, but it is also about living this way of life. Do we use our time and talents we have been given for the benefit of others? Do we recognise that the material things we have in our lives are not just for the benefit of ourselves but for other people? This is about living out the gospel, the good news in our lives. When we take this final step of ‘giving over’ we also find that we are equally rewarded and through knowing and living right relationships with God and other people we live life in abundance. This Lent may your life be enriched through giving up, giving in and giving over. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John10:10 In Christ, Richard 4 COMMUNION AT HOME The 'Communion' we share in Church on a Sunday morning, is a visible symbol of the Community of God, that we are in, by sharing the bread and wine and remembering the sacrifice of Jesus. When we take Communion in Church on a Sunday we are, amongst other things, affirming our Community. I know that for many reasons some people are not able to come to Church on a Sunday. This doesn't mean that Communion cannot be received at another time through the week. Our Community is not wholly defined by who is at Church on a Sunday morning. Church can come to you! If you wish to receive Home Communion on a regular basis (or as a one off) you are more than welcome to do so. Myself, Kath McBride or Rev Lucy Brencher will happily visit. Please don't think that it is too much trouble to ask, this is certainly not the case. All you need to do to start receiving Home Communion is to contact me or one of the Churchwardens and we can visit, by arrangement, to suit you. It is also a pleasure to sit and chat for a while, after Communion is shared. Also, if you know someone who you think will benefit from Home Communion please let us know. Richard 5 PRAYER REQUESTS There are times when we feel we, or someone we know would benefit from prayers said specifically for them. This can bring great comfort. If you would like a prayer said for you or someone you know please get in touch with Richard, Lucy, Kath or one of the Churchwardens who will be able to help you. Similarly if you would like yourself, or people to be specifically prayed for in our services please also ask, ensuring that the person for whom prayers will be said is comfortable with the happening. 6 2019 CONFIRMATIONS This year’s confirmation service is currently scheduled for the 31st March, Mothering Sunday. However, as you may have heard, the Bishop of Selby is not well, so we may need to reschedule our confirmation service. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t start talking about what confirmation means. So here are a few things that people regularly ask about confirmation … What is confirmation? Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptised. If you were baptised at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family, as well as the local Christian community, will be there to promise to support and pray for you. At the service the local bishop will lay their hands on your head and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give you the strength and commitment, to live God’s way for the rest of your life. For those who were baptised as an adult, confirmation is affirming those baptism vows and confirming their membership of the global church, it is the next and natural step to take. What is the service like? Confirmation usually takes place in a special service in a church in the Parish. There will be hymns, readings and sometimes those being confirmed talk about their faith.

  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

  • Selby District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Healaugh Park and Manor
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Selby District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Healaugh Park and Manor Report by Yvonne Boutwood [October 2016] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Healaugh Park and Manor 1.2 Grid reference: SE 486459 1.3 Administrative area: Healaugh Civil Parish, Selby District, North Yorkshire (Current) County, West Riding of Yorkshire (Historic) County 1.4 Current site designation: Not on Historic England’s Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST The designed landscape at Healaugh Park and Manor has three distinct phases of development spanning the thirteenth to eighteenth centuries. The medieval deer park, Healaugh Park, was established prior to 1217 and it evolved and changed through to the post medieval period and was still in use until at least 1707. A small moated enclosure, containing the remains of a building, with sixteenth century pottery finds, may have been a hunting lodge, associated with the deer park. Within the park lay the site of an Augustinian priory, Healaugh Park Priory, which has evidence of a surrounding precinct wall that may have enclosed gardens. Following the Dissolution of the monasteries the priory buildings were converted to an Elizabethan manor house, Healaugh Manor (Figure 1). During this second phase of development the house was surrounded by orchards and gardens contained within an ornamental moat. The wider deer park was also reshaped at this time to create a smaller parkland enclosed by a park pale bank and ditch. The third phase in the late 1 seventeenth century saw the creation of more elaborate garden features, as an axial walk and tree avenue, terminating in a half-moon, were laid out.

The SHLAA seeks to identify potential future housing sites and assess whether such sites are deliverable and/or developable in order to help demonstrate a future supply of housing within York. As part of the consultation in Spring 2008 on the Key Allocation Development Plan Document, the Council undertook a ‘Call for Sites’ inviting landowners, agents and the wider public to submit information on any potential housing locations by suggesting sites of 0.2 hectares or larger. The Council is now required, as part of the SHLAA, to assess these sites for their suitability, availability and achievability following guidance set out by the government1 and the Regional Practice Guide2. We are contacting you because you have either submitted a site as part of our ‘Call for Sites’ process or we have identified you as having a connection with a site that has been submitted. We would like to invite you to fill in the attached proforma to provide the Council with the necessary background information in order to assess the suitability of site(s) submitted. We would also like to ask if you would like to be involved in reviewing the draft SHLAA once we have collated the information on the sites. We envisage that this consultation will take place in November.

  • Local Plan Area
    CHAPTER 2 - PLANNING CONTEXT & STRATEGY CHAPTER 2 PLANNING CONTEXT AND STRATEGY THE LOCAL PLAN AREA 2.1 Harrogate District is one of the largest and most attractive in England. It extends over an area of 1,308 square kilometres (505 sq. miles) to the north of the Leeds/Bradford conurbation and on the eastern fringes of the Yorkshire Dales. It is broadly contained to the east by the Rivers Swale, Ure and Ouse, which flow southward through the Vale of York. The River Wharfe marks the southern boundary of the District, while to the west and north, the land rises to form the Pennine upland chain. Figure 1 shows the District in its regional setting. Four parishes (Nether Poppleton, Upper Poppleton, Hessay and Rufforth) were transferred from Harrogate District to the new City of York Council area as a consequence of the local government reorganisation on 1 April 1996. This Local Plan is based on the revised administrative boundary of the District. FIG 1. REGIONAL SETTING 4 Augmented Composite - July 2009 HARROGATE DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN February 2001 CHAPTER 2 - PLANNING CONTEXT & STRATEGY 2.2 Although Harrogate District includes a number of important urban areas, it is essentially rural in character, containing about 150 villages and hamlets. The District is renowned for the quality and diversity of its landscape and wildlife. The western upland part of the District, centred on Nidderdale, was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1994. The District contains numerous, very popular countryside sites such as Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks and How Stean Gorge together with a considerable number of historic country houses, parks and estates which are attractive features and make a significant contribution to landscape variety.

  • Land Adjacent Sewage Works at Hessay Industrial Estate Report
    COMMITTEE REPORT Date: 24 January 2019 Ward: Rural West York Team: Major and Parish: Hessay Parish Council Commercial Team Reference: 17/00670/FUL Application at: Land Adjacent Sewage Works At Hessay Industrial Estate New Road Hessay York For: Erection of asphalt plant with associated infrastructure By: Anthea Tate Application Type: Full Application Target Date: 28 January 2019 Recommendation: Refuse 1.0 PROPOSAL 1.1 Hessay Industrial Estate comprises a medium sized employment site of some long standing occupying a former MOD depot on land within the general extent of the York Green Belt to the north of Hessay village. The wider site was given planning permission in 1999 for a mix of B1/B2 and B8 uses. Planning permission is sought for erection of a coated aggregates manufacturing plant situated within a building incorporating a mixing tower with associated chimney to be located at the western edge of the site. The proposal has subsequently been amended to include a detailed scheme of off-site highway works to attempt to address concerns in respect of both the access to the Industrial Estate and the nearby junction of the A59 with New Lane approaching the site. 1.2 The site was granted a planning permission for erection of a fuel storage depot ref:- 10/00861/FUL dating to 2010 which was not implemented and has subsequently expired. A previous proposal incorporating an asphalt plant linked with the reinstatement of the rail head within a materially larger section of the site was submitted in 1999 but subsequently withdrawn. 1.3 The total application site comprises some 7,200 sq metres in area which sets it within Schedule 2 of the 2017 Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations for which the application has been screened.

  • 1 Determining the Presence Or Absence of Deposit Types Conducive to Organic Preservation from Heritage at Risk Moated Sites: Yo
    DETERMINING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF DEPOSIT TYPES CONDUCIVE TO ORGANIC PRESERVATION FROM HERITAGE AT RISK MOATED SITES: YORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER PILOT STUDY Final report Andy Hammon RaSMIS 6829 February 2016 1 Project name Determining the Presence or Absence of Deposit Types Conducive to Organic Preservation from Heritage at Risk Moated Sites: Yorkshire and the Humber Pilot Study. Summary description Moated sites are disproportionately represented on the Heritage at Risk (HAR) Register. It has been assumed that all moated sites contain deposit types conducive to organic preservation in their ditches. Consequently, a significant minority are considered to be at ‘high’ risk and in a ‘declining’ condition trend. These assumptions require substantiating through site investigation. As a pilot study, the presence or absence of deposit types conducive to organic preservation has been determined for 25 sites in Yorkshire and the Humber. This project has not fully characterised any organic material encountered; sampling for laboratory-based palaeoenvironmental assessment and scientific dating would have to form the basis of a separate follow-on project. Refer to Hammon (2014) for the Project Design. Background1 Heritage at Risk2 English Heritage (EH) launched the HAR programme in 2008, as a way of understanding the overall state of England's designated historic environment assets. In particular, the programme identifies those sites that are most at risk of being lost as a result of neglect, decay or inappropriate development. Historic England (HE) is committed to reducing the overall number of sites at risk of loss and the approach is set out in the Heritage at Risk Strategy (EH 2012a).
