Minerals and Waste Joint Plan - Publication Stage North Yorkshire County Council, City of York Council and the North York Moors National Park Authority are working together to produce a Minerals and Waste Joint Plan covering all three planning authority areas. When finalised the new Joint Plan will help the three authorities take decisions on planning applications for minerals and waste development up to 31 December 2030. A number of public consultations have already taken place to help develop the new Plan, including an ‘Issues and Options’ consultation in 2014 and a ‘Preferred Options’ consultation in 2015. A final draft of the Joint Plan has now been prepared and is being published for a six week period to allow for representations to be made, before it is submitted for examination in public by an independent planning inspector. At this stage only representations relating to the legal compliance and soundness of the Joint Plan are required. More information about this is contained in the guidance notes attached with this email. The formal publication period commences on Wednesday 9th November 2016 and will close on Wednesday 21st December 2016. All responses must be received by 5pm on that day. Please note we will be unable to accept responses after this deadline. The Joint Plan and supporting documents are available to view on the Joint Plan Website: www.northyorks.gov.uk/mwconsult . Paper copies of the Joint Plan and main supporting documents, including a response form and guidance notes, are available to view during normal opening hours at all public libraries in the area covered by the Joint Plan, including mobile libraries and at all main offices of the three Authorities, as well as at District and Borough Council main offices and the National Park Centres.

The idea behind the funding is to offer the opportunity to a variety of organisations that would not ordinarily have access to funding for sustainable transport schemes or to provide an opportunity to boost funding that may already exist. We are looking to understand the type of sustainable transport projects that your organisations and businesses may potentially want some financial help to bring forward. When we have a good idea of the types of project we will launch the funding pot properly and invite bids from late summer/autumn this year. Please see attached for further information. The deadline for giving us an idea of any projects you may be minded to put forward is 31/08/2016 via email to development@harrogate.gov.uk.

You will still receive a paper copy of your report however the information will also be recorded in an electronic database called PSSLive. The advantage is that you could have your annual inspection as soon as it has been uploaded by the Inspector and you won’t have to wait for the paper report. We use PSSLive to record our routine inspections on a smartphone and you can too as part of the licence that HBC holds. You can download the app onto your smartphone or tablet for free. On the Windows Store search for PSSLive, on android and Apple its PSSLive+. I will need to arrange a log-in code and password to enable you to have access to your data so please contact me if you would like to use this service. All your inspection and maintenance records can then be stored securely in the Cloud and accessed through the desktop version of the software. You can record your findings, assign risk ratings, create tasks to repair the faults and sign them off when the work is completed. So should an accident occur you will be able to print off inspection records to back up your defence. The company who created the software is able to provide on-line training for those who wish to use it. The online training that PSSLive provide is based on TeamViewer. It allows users to view the same screen whilst chatting on a conference call. The appropriate prices are as follows:
This course will teach users the basic functionality of the Mobile App, ensuring they are able to Inspect and Maintain their Sites and Assets.
The Desktop Basic Training will teach users the basics of the PSSLive desktop, allowing them to monitor and maintain Sites and Departments. If you are tech savvy you may not need the mobile (smartphone) training but I would recommend the desktop training if you choose to use it to its fullest extent. You can find out more from the PSSLive website. Harrogate Borough Council Small Grants Scheme Harrogate Borough Council Small Grants Scheme for 2016 is now open for applications.
