(Nigel Kirby ) CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Ten years ago we amended our Memorandum and Articles of Association and it is perhaps worth reminding members what these comprise. The first Object is to preserve for the benefit of the public the natural, artistic and cultural amenities of the City of York and its neighbourhood. Subsequent Objects provide for the protection of places, erections or buildings of beauty or historic interest in or near the City; protection of views in or out of the city and its neighbourhood; preservation of footpaths, commons and rights of way; and the collection of data about such places. The Trust can publish or contribute to publications on matters within its Objects, and promote research into the history of York and its neighbourhood and the cultural life of the city. Another Object is the promotion of education and the advancement of learning and useful knowledge in the City, including support for schools, colleges and other institutes of learning. The Trust can promote or assist in promotion of activities which benefit the artistic and cultural life of the City or which advance the practice of a high level of good citizenship. It can support exhibitions, lectures, conferences or courses on matters within its Objects. The Trust may support - or oppose - proposals likely to affect any of its Objects. It may cooperate with local, national or other authorities, charities and voluntary bodies and support charities, associations, and institutions with Objects similar to those of the Trust and with persons desirous of assisting it. It may establish charitable trusts and associations having Objects similar to its own. The Trust may also advise and assist persons intending to develop land and structures which have a bearing on the natural, artistic or cultural amenities of their neighbourhoods. It can make grants, donations or loans in furtherance of its Objects, and raise funds for the purpose of the Objects. All of this demonstrates a broad remit that allows considerable flexibility. 7 FOSSGATE (2014) one of the streets being considered for pedestrianisation. (Nigel Kirby ) During 2013-14 there has seen activity by the Trust on most of the Objects identified above. Its Board of Trustees has met on nine occasions and has been supported and advised by specialist committees dealing with Planning, Education, Events, Membership, Finance and Personnel, Governance and by the board of Fairfax House, the Civic Trust’s Georgian House Museum. A new committee established this year deals with the Trust’s recently-established City Enhancement Fund. City of York Draft Forward Plan A main preoccupation of the Trust this year has been the City of York’s Draft Forward Plan which, when adopted, is likely to shape the development of the city and its region for the next quarter century. Along with 14,000 other responders, the Trust submitted a detailed critique of the Plan, prepared with the advice of consultants, which emphasised a lack of clarity over the long-term view of York’s economy and consequent housing and other predicted requirements. It emphasised the need to apply the Sequential Test to planning decisions, the zoning of housing away from the historic city centre and in a way that preserves the green belts and especially the 8 KING’S SQUARE (2014) a redesign and refurbishment of the square has increased the footprint by about 20 per cent. (Nigel Kirby ) green wedges and strays to maintain the rural character of York’s setting. We stressed the importance of the preservation of views, the regulation of building heights and the threat that wind farms pose to the ambience of York, questioning the basis of the wind farm proposals. The Trust has maintained close contact with the City of York Council during the assessment period and has made further suggestions, for example, the adoption of the Baxter Report and the Streetscape Manual as part of the Local Plan. Planning Issues The Trust has worked closely with City of York Council officers on a number of planning issues. The City’s experimental closure of Lendal Bridge to private cars was recognised as a valid experiment likely to give useful hard data for future planning on traffic control, and therefore supported, despite the unfortunate problems that arose from its implementation. Consultations were started on proposals for changes in Exhibition Square, Deangate, Fossgate, the Museum Street Park and Ride bus stop and improvements to bus and traffic movement, in particular around York Station, as part

  • Richard of York Gives Battle Again
    Richard of York Gives Battle Again Andrew Hogan About 40 miles from here, in 1485, Richard III unwittingly brought the Middle Ages to an end by losing the Battle of Bosworth Field to the victorious Henry Tudor. The defeated king’s remains were taken to Leicester and lost. Found in 2013, the Divisional Court on 26th November 2013 will hear the substantive challenge brought in relation to their re-interment and location of the dead king’s final resting place. The challenge brought by the Plantagenet Alliance Limited has already generated some interesting ancillary litigation in the field of protective costs orders: on 15th August 2013 Mr Justice Haddon-Cave granted permission to bring judicial review and also made a protective costs order on the papers. On 26th September 2013 the court heard a number of applications, including one to vary or discharge the protective costs order. In a full and careful judgment given on 18th October 2013 the court handed down its reasoned judgment reported at [2013] EWHC 3164 (Admin). The Law Relating to Protective Costs Orders The learned judge began by restating the substantive law that prescribes when and in what circumstances the court will exercise its discretion to make a predictive costs order: 17. The general principles governing Protective Costs Ordered were restated by the Court of Appeal in R (Corner House) v Secretary of State for Trade and Industry [2005] 1 WLR 2600 (CA) at [74] as follows (see also The White Book at paragraph 48.15.7): (1) A protective costs order may be made at any stage of

  • Judicial Review in England and Wales: a Constructive Interpretation of the Role of the Administrative Court
    TITLE: JUDICIAL REVIEW IN ENGLAND AND WALES: A CONSTRUCTIVE INTERPRETATION OF THE ROLE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Sarah Marie Nason University College London PHD 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY ‘ I, Sarah Marie Nason confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed… ………………………….. Date…15 October 2014…………………………….. 2 ABSTRACT In this thesis I construct an interpretation of judicial review in England and Wales from the ground up based on an analysis of social practice in the Administrative Court. I argue that whilst judicial review provides a forum for debates about constitutional values and rights, and the inter-institutional balance of power between different branches of state, it is still primarily concerned with doing justice for individuals in relatively non-complex cases. Both in highly contested and technical claims with broader implications, and in cases turning largely on their own facts, justice is done by way of ordinary common law reasoning and specifically by assessing whether the initial decision-maker has taken relevant considerations (including moral considerations) into account, and excluded irrelevant considerations. My first central argument is that some existing interpretations of judicial review display a lack of appreciation of the social facts of litigation and legal practice, whilst others are based on significant misconceptions about these facts. My second central argument is against the scholarly tendency to over- emphasise the production and refinement of conceptual doctrinal tests at the expense of addressing the contested nature of the moral values at stake in the practice of judicial review as a whole and in individual cases.

  • Information Pack 5: Richard III and the Judicial Review, 13Th and 14Th March 2014
    Information Pack 5: Richard III and the Judicial Review, 13th and 14th March 2014 During 2013 and 2014 the decision to rebury the remains of Richard III in Leicester Cathedral also faced a legal challenge when the Plantagenet Alliance, a group of Richard’s collateral descendants, pursued a judicial review of the conditions of the exhumation licence awarded to the University of Leicester Archaeological Services, who had excavated the Greyfriars site and who had agreed that Leicester Cathedral would be the appropriate location to reinter the former monarch. The Plantagenet Alliance’s Case On 4th February 2013, six months after the remains had been extracted from the Greyfriars dig site, they were finally confirmed as belonging to Richard III through a DNA match with two female-line descendants of his sister, Anne of York (d. 1476). The discovery sparked national and international interest, and added fuel to the debates about where the former monarch should be buried. The Ministry of Justice, however, was keen to point out that as the University of Leicester Archaeological Services was the legal holder of the exhumation licence, and that therefore as the legal custodian of the remains, the final decision as to where Richard would be reburied lay with them and it seemed that this would take place in Leicester Cathedral, as provisionally agreed. On 26th March 2013, the Plantagenet Alliance therefore announced that it was seeking to challenge the decision to rebury Richard’s remains in Leicester through a judicial review of the exhumation licence issued by the Ministry of Justice to the University of Leicester Archaeological Services.
