I am sure, like me, you often hear the phrase at this time of year. “Well, I don’t know what to get him or her!” The giving of gifts at Christmas is important but it is so hard when we live in a society where we seem to have everything we need. Our gift-giving is often a chore, we scurry around ‘on-line’ or in the shops thinking ‘what on earth should I get them!’ Sometimes we just get caught up in the moment and buy something entirely inappropriate or wrong, that eventually will be added to the growing pile of junk destroying our planet, … I’ve certainly done that in the past. Our gift-giving can also become somewhat of a transaction. We feel obliged because ‘we always have and they always do’. Sometimes gifts are given without any thought. “Well we always buy them a bottle of their favourite tipple”. Or “I’ve just slipped the usual £10 note into their card”. There is that saying “It’s the thought that counts!” but this saying doesn’t say how much thought gets us over the line for our present to be a true gift. So, what do you give to someone who has everything, or seems not to need another ornament on the mantelpiece, socks in the drawer or bottle in the cupboard? If we look at this from another perspective … What would we give God as a gift? Does a God of everything need anything? …. the answer is YES Our God, of unconditional love, longs for our gift of love. How do we know this? Well that is what Christmas is all about. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” John 3:16 3 When we show love to God and others it doesn’t change how much God loves us, but it does please God. Each and every gift we give this Christmas is a true gift if given with love and when we share love, we please God. We could take this further by cutting out completely the risk of an unnecessary gift and go straight for an unconditional act of loving kindness. Or maybe that’s too hard and a £10 note slipped into a card is enough! It’s not the ‘thought that counts’ it’s the ‘love that counts’. We wish you all a joyful, blessed Christmas. May you all be filled and share with others the gift of God’s love. In Christ Richard PS – This Christmas Our Christmas services this year offer something for everyone. From the quite and contemplative to carol singing in every village. This year we have introduced a Midnight Mass at All Saints, Wighill (24th Dec at 11.30pm) , this evocative service is extra special and worth the late night! All Saints, Wighill will also be hosting the Ainsty Choir for their annual carol service (which was re- introduced last year). The season of Advent and Christmas will begin on Friday 29th as we try something new and invite you all to “Light a Candle for Christmas” (see page 9 for more details). At Hessay, weather permitting, I am sure that we will enjoy a Christmas procession from the Chapel to the Church as part of our Nativity and Carol service. Something to enjoy as a village and a Parish. Everything about Christmas has a special feel and some services form a regular part of what we are and do. The Nativity and Christingle on Christmas Eve at All Saints, Moor Monkton is always important and popular. Do come along. Christmas would also not be Christmas without our Live Nativity at St John the Baptist, Healaugh and this again returns on the 23rd and 24th December. 4 Our Christmas celebrations will culminate in a 10.30am Christmas Day service for the whole parish, at St Helen’s, Bilton. A wonderful time to celebrate the birth of Christ, together as a parish-wide family. I also make a promise that, unlike last year when we were a bit overwhelmed with the number of people coming, this service will be kept to an hour (although we may have some festive refreshments at the end). This means we can all get home and enjoy our Christmas Lunches! Finally, over the Christmas period, Radio York are following what we are getting up to. Each week I will be recording what is going on in our Parish for broadcast, which I think will happen on their Sunday Morning show! Lucy, Myself, Churchwardens and all those in our Church family look forward to welcoming one another and you to our Churches over the festive season.

    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.

    Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Appendix 1: Sample letter, questionnaire and list of consultees 1 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 1st October 2008 Dear Sir or Madam Assessment of the Suitability and Availability of Potential New Housing Sites City of York Council is preparing a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). 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.
