In 1841, the last remnants of lies.in the early 1990’s remains of a Roman the open fields were enclosed and allocated fort and adjacent settlement were found on to landowners. the route of the A1M well to the east of the village. The fort was built shortly after AD71 and abandoned some 15 years later, being replaced with a more permanent site at Aldborough.

Roecliffe may have originated from its proximity to the rivers Ure and Tutt, and from its location at the junction of two ancient tracks which later connected Fountains Abbey with Boroughbridge, where goods were trans- shipped.

In the seventeenth century there are references of weavers. The existence of a blacksmith can be traced back to 1678, the last retiring in 1955. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, a number trades had become established. There was a cordwainer, a carpenter and a butcher. Brewing and selling of ale goes back a very long way. Records suggest that an inn has stood on the site of the present Crown Inn since the fourteenth century.

Roecliffe is often described today as one of the prettiest villages in England. A charming church, picturesque village school, rolling village green and, there is the Crown Inn, the heartbeat of the village. With the River Ure, all combine to create a rural landscape straight out of the pages of Thomas Hardy.

The Village School

Roecliffe Church of England Primary School was built 1874, and sits on the Village Green.

The Railway, built in 1875 and closed in St.Mary’s Church 1955, ran through lots of different villages starting at Harrogate and going through The church of St Mary’s was built in 1843 Knaresborough then through Moor End, and consecrated in 1844. It is believed to be Staveley and Roecliffe, finally ending up the only one in the country with an entirely at Boroughbridge. There was a siding into vaulted roof, which is in a shape known as Roecliffe Brickworks, for transportation. ‘wagon-head’. Its marble floor and the steps The line was a great benefit to the farming to the chancel were originally part of the industry but had little immediate impact on pavement in front of the high altar at York village growth. The line then went through Minster. Braferton to join the main railway line from London to Scotland, which still remains.

As can be seen from Map 4, many properties pre- date 1850. Only two properties – Manor Farm and Vicarage Farmhouse – are Listed Buildings.

Orchard Cottages

The last significant housing developments took place on the Holmeside Farm site at the side of St. Mary’s Church.

Vicarage Farmhouse

The Main Street, with the careful treatment of the original cottages and buildings, retains virtually the same appearance now as it had pre-1900.

Many properties of significant age have been tastefully modernised. Some are former farm buildings, others farm workers cottages.

There has been a significant traffic increase, but not with standing all these changes the village still retains much of its historic character, and since 2008 the pretty, original centre of Roecliffe has been confirmed as a Conservation Area. It is now undoubtedly a neater and tidier village without herds of cows and flocks of sheep being driven through the village. The transition has been gradual and well managed.

The Vision Harrogate Borough Council to give guidance, and the Objectives have been posted on the and open meetings with residents all helped village website inviting comments. These form drive decisions. Issues were identified by the the basis for this Plan, and in particular the responses to the Village Survey (March 2016) Planning Policies and Projects.

8.1 Vision For Roecliffe & Westwick

“The distinctive character and appearance of Roecliffe & Westwick shall be preserved and enhanced, with particular reference to the Conservation Area and the defined Development Limits by ensuring positive management of future developments and avoiding high density housing. A safer and more secure environment will be developed, particularly as regards highways, so that Roecliffe & Westwick continues to be a safe and peaceful rural community. Existing green space, footpaths and bridleways will be protected and preserved, to improve the quality of life for all people who live and work in Roecliffe & Westwick but also to enhance the visual appearance of the area and for the benefit of visitors. To continue building a stronger community spirit and greater cohesion, local residents will continue to be consulted and involved in delivery of all aspects of the Plan.”

ROECLIFFE & WESTWICK PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2032 19 8.2 Objectives

• To ensure sensitive development that protects and enriches the landscape and built setting throughout the Neighbourhood Area.

• To ensure that any housing development is tailored to the future needs of Roecliffe & Westwick residents.

• To protect the landscape generally including agricultural land, woodland, wildlife habitats, the historic sites and particularly the key views into and out of the Conservation Area.

• To protect the valuable green spaces within Roecliffe & Westwick.

• To improve the existing footpath network by creating new footpaths and cycle ways to extend connectivity and improve access to the surrounding rural countryside.

• To ensure all the ‘village assets’ are protected.

• To support and strengthen the small number of local businesses and assist those working from home.

• To support residents on an ongoing basis in the delivery and monitoring of the Plan.

• To seek on-going improvements to highways and develop a safer route for pedestrians passing through Roecliffe.

9.1 Design and Development

Justification and Evidence West end of the green – tree and boarder planting

20th century development took the form of individual detached houses built along farm track cul-de-sacs, such as Barrowgates at the side of Manor Farm where an existing building was converted for residential use. A short row of terrace houses on the entrance to the village from Boroughbridge were originally built by Rural District Council in 1947.

There is individuality in house styles, but Main road through the Village a unity in terms of scale (two storey), and materials (predominantly brick, including The Early Development of Roecliffe & garages), walls rather than fences, and/ Westwick and Roecliffe & Westwick Today or grass verges and rustic hedges fronting sections of this document (Sections 6 & highways. 7) outline the history of the Parish, and development of its character to date.

The CAAMP also identifies the following key ways to retain character:

• Key views towards open countryside not to be compromised;

• Use of traditional local sourced bricks and pantiles for dwellings and in the construction of boundary walls alongside other properties with cement render and painted finish;

• Use of traditional hedge planting to farm land sides of building

• Retention of the permeability and accessibility of green spaces within and adjacent to the Conservation Area.

POLICY A1: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

New development proposals should demonstrate that they preserve and enhance the village of Roecliffe and surrounding rural environment by:

• Recognising and contributing to the distinct rural feel of Roecliffe & Westwick. • Respecting the local character, historic and natural assets of the surrounding area, in particular the Conservation Area, and taking every opportunity, through design and materials, to reinforce local distinctiveness and a strong sense of place. • Ensuring that developments outside the Conservation Area do not adversely affect the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. • Maintaining space and proportion of building plots. • Ensuring that new structures do not dominate the village streetscape. • Respecting local landscape quality ensuring that views and vistas are maintained. The visual impact should be considered both from local impact and from longer distance views. • Integrating any development within the defined Development Limits (2016) • Incorporating landscaping to mitigate the impact of development. Planting programmes for new development should incorporate native arboreal species local to the area. • Prohibiting the removal of any trees that have a significant amenity value, without the support of an arboriculture report by a reputable company. • Using traditional bricks and pantiles as the dominant construction material for new buildings and boundary walls. • Maintaining the consistent two-storey eaves height found throughout the Conservation Area. • Continuing to use rural and vernacular detailing on new build structures to ensure that the rural and historic character is retained. • Accommodating footways and also grass strips in verges. • Providing pitched roofs and regularly spaced windows that do not dominate the street scene. • Minimising the use of street furniture and signage to preserve rural character • Not installing street lights.

26 ROECLIFFE & WESTWICK PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2032 COMMUNITY ACTIONS

• Create an overall tree management/planting strategy; • Assess requirement for additional Tree Preservation Orders/ registration of hedgerows; • Plant screening in those areas which have a negative impact on the rural character of Roecliffe & Westwick; • Improve verges and paths using sympathetic materials; • Tidy and maintain road signs and other furniture consistent with the local character; Additional bulb planting. • Monitor noise pollution in the Parish

POLICY A2: DESIGN OF EXTENSIONS

In addition to the requirements of Policy A1 the following shall apply to the design of extensions: • Extensions, including garages, should not cause the property to dominate its neighbourhood and street scene, and space will be retained between buildings and the street similar to the space between neighbouring properties. • Extensions will be in materials to complement the existing or neighbouring houses. • Original character features should be retained and replicated in the extension. • Dormer windows shall be avoided on front elevations. They should be set back from the eaves, side/party walls and set down from ridgelines. • Door architraves, window styles and frames should closely reflect the style of the original building.

The principal highway problems were identified as:

• Main Street – although wide enough for two cars to pass when no vehicle are parked, the main road through Roecliffe village is generally narrow with a blind bend to the west by the Crown Inn.

POLICY B4: ADEQUATE CAR-PARKING PROVISION

Residential car-parking In any new housing development should provide off-road car parking spaces in accordance with standards as set out by North Yorkshire County Council as a minimum. Development proposals must demonstrate that there will be no over-spill of residential car-parking onto Main Street, Roecliffe.

COMMUNITY ACTIONS

48 ROECLIFFE & WESTWICK PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2032 POLICY D1: FOOTPATHS, CYCLEWAYS AND BRIDLEWAYS

Development proposals will take all reasonable opportunities to improve footpath and bridleway access, by, for example, facilitating new circular walks and new safer alternatives to existing routes. Any proposed routes and changes to existing routes will be expected to take advantage of features such as good views, amenity areas and also provide further planting as part of the proposals.

The layout of any proposed development should take into consideration the possibility of future footpaths and bridleways and access links not directly provided by the developments.

COMMUNITY ACTIONS

• Improve signs for country walks;

• Provide map of routes on a new Community Noticeboard;

• Maintenance of footpaths and bridleways generally

A defined green landscaped corridor will be created and maintained between the eastern side of the current limit of the built up area of Roecliffe village Conservation Area and the western side of the current limit of the built up area of Bar Lane Industrial Estate. This will:

• Mitigate noise of traffic travelling into and out of Bar Lane Industrial Estate

• Provide a multi-functional, maintained green corridor so that Roecliffe village does not merge with the nearby Bar Lane Industrial Estate and will maintains its integrity as a rural community

• Protect important biodiversity and habitats.

Many SME’s on the old brick works site

Industrial Development of Roecliffe. Nation-wide horticulturist South of the River Ure there was a west to east stratum of clay suitable for making bricks, tiles and pottery. The Roecliffe Brick Yard on Bar Lane was established in the early part of the 18th Century and after the construction of Smeaton’s Canal at Boroughbridge in 1770 the river became the transport mechanism to export bricks and tiles to Ripon, York and further afield.

Many of the properties in Roecliffe are constructed of the characteristic brick and pantiles including the present school Touring Caravan site constructed in 1874. The brickyard closed in 1964 when the clay deposit had been almost worked out but the clay pit ponds still exist as a nature reserve and fishing ground and are protected as a site of nature conservation.

ROECLIFFE & WESTWICK PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2032 61 The industrial designated land was purchased owned by Johnson’s of Whixley. by a civil engineering firm who demolished some of the workers houses and the old Roecliffe Business Centre on Waingates Lane buildings and has passed through several was founded in 2004 from the conversion of ownerships .and is currently owned by Bar a group of disused farm buildings, formerly Developments who have planning permission known as Waingates Farm.

The capacity of this road continues to be questioned. The congestion, at times, caused by HGV’s, is a source of major concern and improvements will have to be instigated eventually if road safety standards are to be maintained.

62 ROECLIFFE & WESTWICK PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2032 POLICY F1: LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORT

Development proposals which provide support and give encouragement to local businesses and ensure viability is maintained and strengthened will be supported provided that they: a) Contribute to the character and vitality of the local area. b) Protect residential amenity c) Do not adversely impact upon road safety.

POLICY F2: BROADBAND/CONNECTIVITY

To support more people working from home and to encourage local micro/small business growth, this Plan supports the technology infrastructure that serves to improve broadband speed throughout the Neighbourhood Area.

Development proposals should demonstrate how they will contribute to and be compatible with internet connectivity. This should be by way of a ‘connectivity statement’ to accompany planning applications and include plans showing suitable infrastructure provision to ensure all new developments are ‘fibre-ready’.

POLICY F3: INDUSTRIAL ZONE

The area around the current Bar Lane Industrial Estate, as marked on the policies map, is designated an Industrial Zone. Business development schemes proposed for outside the zoned area should demonstrate that:

• no previously developed land is available inside the zoned area or

• there is no economically reasonable prospect of continued use of existing buildings or facilities in its current use.

Business development schemes proposed for inside the zoned area should ensure that:

• new office developments should be in keeping with its surroundings in terms of scale and design

• adequate car-parking provision for on-site staff, commercial vehicles and visitors to the extent that there will be no over-spill onto the highway, except in exceptional circumstances.
