(Revised Scheme) Land Comprising Os Field 0067 (access next to Tvonnay, Main St) Darley Head Darley. A parishioner spoke in relation to this Planning Application and raised concerns the current Planning Application might lead to further development of the area indicated with a blue border on the location plan. Concern was also expressed that the coordinates given for the development were within this area (rather than the site of the Planning Application). It was clarified that an area bordered in blue usually indicates common ownership with the site within a Planning Application. The Parish Council commented that the size of the proposed dwelling might be out of scale in relation to neighbouring properties (which are bungalows) and that it was not particularly clear how the reasons for the refusal of the prior Planning Application (18/02668/OUT) had been addressed, especially in relation to access.

PCMinutes20190729 - Draft.docx 1 Martin Pearson, July 2019 19/00383/BRPC15 Land Comprising Field South Of White House Main Street Darley ALLEGED BREACH: Alleged breach of 1. condition 8 of 17/02008/FULMAJ by piling up of soil. 2 condition 6 - dust control during construction (Planning Applications 17/02008/FULMAJ; 18/01737/DISCON). Several parishioners spoke in relation to this development. Concerns raised included: - the apparent raised height of the site relative to neighbouring properties and its potential impact on drainage into those properties. It is not clear whether the final level of the site will be similar to neighbouring properties or in line with the approved Planning Application; - breach of conditions through soil being piled up against the boundary of neighbouring properties (now removed) and not taking steps to control dust during construction; - confusion regarding which of the various different plans submitted have been formally approved; - construction of buildings which differ in design (model and size) and location from the plans understood to have been approved (including additional patio doors and windows overlooking neighbouring properties); - uncertainty as to whether the construction of garages has been approved; - occurences of flooding and spreading of waste from the construction site into neighbouring properties to date; and - pruning and removal of tree branches of trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders. It was agreed that the Parish Council would write to Harrogate Borough Council citing the above concerns and asking for regular inspections in order to deal with any Planning Enforcement issues as they occur. Chairman and Clerk to action. e. Correspondence received regarding position and use of multiple estate agent boards was noted. f. Update on current Planning Applications Chairman confirmed that Harrogate Borough Council’s Local Plan has been amended and the major modifications made are now subject to consultation (26 July to 6 September). Areas DR14 and DR1 have been removed from the plan. Further modifications have been made to recognise the viability of transport routes, to confirm that major development should only be permitted in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in exceptional circumstances and recognising that an adequate supply of development housing has been obtained. The Parish Council agreed to submit a letter supporting the proposed modifications; Chairman to action. The Parish Council also recommended that parishioners also support these as being legally-compliant and sound. A single letter representing a group of people with the same view is encouraged by Harrogate Borough Council; Chairman to circulate details of how to access the consultation and to respond. 1907/7 County and Borough Councillors’ Reports: County Cllr Lumley confirmed that County Hall, Northallerton will be vacated by the end of July in order to refurbish the building. Other offices will be used for the period of renovation (expected to be around 12 months). The Winter Bus Service has met targets and is in its second year of a two year plan. It is currently exploring sponsorship for a third year. A feasibility study by Sustrans and local cycling groups to extend the Nidderdale Greenway Cycle Route from Clint to Pateley Bridge (through Darley and Dacre) is encouraging. County Cllr Lumley recently chaired a cross-party meeting exploring how best for North Yorkshire County Council to address the challenges faced by climate change. The intention is to produce a carbon dioxide reduction plan and to consider all areas that can contribute to emissions (including Waste & Recycling, use of plastics and transport). Borough Cllr Watson confirmed that recent changes to Waste & Recycling collection have led to issues for some residents and that catch-up services are operate for missed collections. If parishioners are experiencing any problems please contact Borough Cllr Watson. Harrogate Borough Council serves approximately 160,000 residents in an area of 505 square miles. It built 259 affordable homes in the year ending 31 March 2019 (against 161 in the year ending 31 March 2018). There remains significant need for affordable homes, particularly for families in Nidderdale and a further increase is required in order to meet this demand. 1907/8 Updates for information a. Possible purchase of paediatric defibrillator electrodes: Clerk confirmed that the model of defibrillator owned by the Parish Council did not support the use of children’s defibrillator pads. Adult electrodes supplied with the defibrillator can be used for children. 1907/9 Highways a. The planned road closure at Priest Lane Ford, Ripon, 23 September – 25 October 2019 was noted. North Yorkshire County Council is returning to a system of notifying all Parish Clerks of planned road PCMinutes20190729 - Draft.docx 2 Martin Pearson, July 2019 closures across the county. County Cllr Lumley noted that it is more difficult to notify emergency road closures (i.e. emergency utilities works) but that North Yorkshire County Council is working to improve the efficiency of roadworks generally. b. Correspondence received regarding parking on Main Street near to Darley Community Primary School (the School) was discussed. It was noted that parking along Main Street (from Fringill Lane past Sheepcote Lane) made the road difficult to navigate and potentially dangerous. A parishioner clarified that the most severe problems were experienced at the time of two specific events at the School but problems at school pick-up times were also noted. Use of Darley Memorial Hall car park for such events was suggested as a possible solution. Idling of vehicles was also noted as a problem at pick-up times. It was agreed that the Parish Council would check regarding the availability of Darley Memorial Hall car park to alleviate parking problems for events at the School. If this is available, the Parish Council will write to the Headteacher at the School asking that it is considered to help reduce parking issues associated with events and pick-up and that anyone picking up children is reminded to switch their engine off whilst waiting to help manage pollution in the area; Clerk to action. c. Darley and Menwith Safe Speed: It was confirmed that one parishioner has volunteered to joing the working group to date. A number of parishioners attending the meeting agreed to join the working group, together with Councillor McQueen. A meeting is to be organised to discussed the speed and road safety issues highlighted to date; Clerk to arrange. The Parish Council agreed to purchase a Vehicle-Activated Sign for Darley and Menwith Parish.

Following a request from the County Area Committee for the Harrogate District a review of ‘the need for and alignment’ of the adopted relief road was commenced in late 2016. 2.2 As an early part of this study, initial modelling and appraisal was undertaken on various potential relief road options based on work originally carried out in the early 1990’s (see Figure 1 below.) This showed that of the alignments, the two inner relief road options provided the greatest benefits in terms of traffic relief. 2.3 As a result of development pressures, and based on information available from the initial consideration of relief road alignments the Executive recently resolved to rescind the protection of the Harrogate Northern Relief Road and a section of the Killinghall Bypass. The remainder of the Killinghall Bypass remains an adopted route. Figure 1 - possible relief road options considered in the 2017 Options Assessment Report 2.4 As an integral part of the study, work was also undertaken by the County Council’s partner consultant, WSP on looking at a range of other potential approaches for tackling congestion in Harrogate and Knaresborough (study area set out in Figure 2 below).

    HARROGATE DISTRICT SITES & POLICIES DPD Harrogate & Knaresborough Cycling Implementation Plan 2013 May 2013 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction and background 2.0 Policy context 3.0 Progress made on the development of the Cycle Network 4.0 Measures proposed to complete the Harrogate and Knaresborough Cycle Network 5.0 Links to the National Cycle Network 6.0 Cycling promotion and awareness raising APPENDIX 1: Harrogate and Knaresborough Cycling Implementation Plan – network of routes. 1.0 Introduction and Background 1.1 Harrogate Borough Council adopted the Harrogate and Knaresborough Cycling Implementation Plan in July 2000. At this time the Borough Council was the Highway Agent for the Harrogate and Knaresborough Area acting on behalf of North Yorkshire County Council. The plan identified a proposed network of radial and orbital cycle routes in the urban areas of Harrogate and Knaresborough which formed the basis for the allocation of funding through the North Yorkshire County Council Local Transport Plan during the period 2001 to 2006. 1.2 The Local Transport Plan advocated the introduction of such a network of cycle routes (and the associated investment in cycle infrastructure) as a means of encouraging the use of alternative means of transport to the car, and encouraging greater cycle use especially for shorter journeys. 1.3 The Cycling Implementation Plan was developed with the assistance and support of the Harrogate Cycling Group who shared the County and Borough Council’s aspirations for the creation of a comprehensive cycle route network inter‐linking residential areas, schools, shopping facilities, health care facilities, employment areas and leisure sites. 1.4 A further objective endorsed in the plan was to promote and progress the delivery of off road cycle routes to Spofforth and Ripley that would connect Harrogate and Knaresborough to the National Cycle Network and provide onward links to the remainder of the District.

  • MS Dep 1980/1 Archives of the Dean and Chapter Of
    Handlist 47 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Archives of the Dean and Chapter of Ripon MS Dep 1980/1 The greater part of their accumulated archives was very generously deposited recently in the Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds by the Dean and Chapter of Ripon. It is hoped that by this arrangement the material will be more conveniently accessible to the majority of researchers. A few items, however, remain at Ripon because they are currently in use or are on permanent display to visitors. The cathedral was a parish church before it was raised to its present status and the parish registers are deposited at the North Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton. This list includes both the material remaining at Ripon and that at Northallerton. The archives of the Dean and Chapter have been listed twice before. A summary list was prepared for the Pilgrim Trust in 1946. A much fuller list was compiled for the National Register of Archives (Historical Manuscripts Commission) and issued in 1959. Upon the archives being inspected after their arrival at Leeds it was immediately apparent that the collection contained even more than had been listed in 1959, and it was decided with the ready concurrence of the Commission, that a new listing would be essential. This new list has been designed to avoid as much confusion as possible. It follows the style and numeration of the 1959 list and new entries have been inserted as close as possible to suitable places within its original framework. Some documents had identifications unrelated to the serial numbers used in that list; they have now been numbered to correspond and the additional items have been given appropriate subdivisions within the original notation.

  • Knaresborough Brochure 2019
    Knaresborough Team Ministry Parish Brochure 2019 We are seeking a team vicar, a pastor, a colleague and a friend to join us as we continue our journey in faith. The Church context The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Knaresborough, Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond & Craven). The parish of Knaresborough lies in the Harrogate Deanery within the Ripon Episcopal Area and the Archdeaconry of Richmond and Craven. Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. For all of our appointments we are seeking clergy who have a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth, both numerically and spiritually.

  • Bilton Historical Society Newsletter
    Issue 69 January 2014 Bilton Historical Society Newsletter If you need to get in touch or have something to offer, please come to the Community Centre on Tuesday morning or contact Keith Burton on (01423) 569907 or email [email protected] Dear Sir We wanted to write and thank you for organising the talk by Sir Thomas Ingilby on Wednesday. As was pointed out by Isabella, we are virtually neighbours with the Nidderdale Greenway giving a direct link to the Castle and it is good to know more about the neighbours. What a lot of history the castle has seen. It has encouraged us to try more of your society’s talks. Thank you Derek and Sue Couldwell This was an email that we received after one of the three talks from October to December. Though it referred to just one of the talks, all three were of a very high standard and the variety of subject was excellent. It is always very satisfying to know that we have produced something of interest — so many thanks to Mr and Mrs Couldwell. In October we visited Nidderdale in the company of David Aldred through photographs and postcards, particularly around the dams above Pateley Bridge. The story of the Inglebys/Ingilbys of Ripley Castle was given to us in November by Sir Thomas, with both humour and depth. This was followed by Richard Willis in December, telling us the History of Canals and Aqueducts particularly those in Yorkshire. He illustrated this with many photographs and some wonderful stories. Isabella works hard to ensure a good and varied programme and I have enjoyed them all, even though the topics for some were not ones that I would have normally expected to be of interest to me.
