PART II10.0 Management Proposals/StrategyGeneral. The management strategy for the Langcliffe Conservation Areais contained in a separate section, as it may need to be updated morefrequently than the remainder of the document. The proposals below arebased on the findings of Part I, having evolved from an understanding ofthis historic place and an assessment of its significance and values, aswell as its weaknesses and threats. The final strategy will be subject toregular monitoring and review.1Fawcett (2009) LangcliffeParish Plan, July 2009:Survey Report & Action Plan,p.2.Parish Plan. The Parish of Langcliffe has already taken the first steptowards its management by recently undertaking a Parish Plan exercisewhich involved the whole community. The idea was to make informationavailable in an accessible format that can guide priorities in the Parishand that can be referenced when considering planning applications 1 . Thefindings of the survey were compiled by the Parish Plan Group, who hadorganised public meetings and carried out the questionnaires. The reportwas then published as Langcliffe Parish Plan in July 2009 and deliveredto every household in the parish. It concludes with a community actionplan, which sets out to tackle the following issues in the village:Actions already done or in hand: C iii – E ii – E iv –Erect a Village History BoardProvide central recycling facilitiesHighlight the number of empty houses in theparish through second home ownership and raiseconcerns about the need to set limits to this trendActions to be taken forward: A iv – A v –Continue to improve the appearance of theparish, e.g. through the garden group or othergroups that could be set up (e.g. to paint andrestore benches)Provide facilities to encourage wildlife in thevillage (e.g. bat/bird boxes) A vii – Repair pot holes in car park and in unmade lanesaround the village C iv – Hold more organised social events for all theresidents in the parish E i – E vi –Community/educational use of the former schoolbuildingProvide up-to-date bus timetable and bus stopsigns in the villageActions that need further investigation: A iii – B i – D i – D ii –Develop more off-street parking facilities in thevillage centreInstall replacement play area on the village green(grant funding is being applied for)Reduce the 40mph speed limit on the main roadto 30 mphReduce the 30 mph speed limit in the village to20 mphA network of community-based groups has been set up to deal withspecific tasks and activities, such as nature, maintenance, play area,gardening, Christmas tree, social events and road safety. Other itemscan be progressed without the need for a formal group, like the schooland ‘housing’ issues.52
The parish recognizes that the plan will need to be maintained and thusrecommends revisiting and refreshing it periodically, so that it reflects thecurrent concerns of the village. However, no timescales are provided.Proposed actions. Regarding the main issues of the conservation areaas summarised earlier (see 8.0), the Authority is putting forward thefollowing management proposals for discussion: Change of the conservation area boundary (see 6.0) Impose an Article 4 direction on the future use of uPVCreplacement products (see 4.4.h) Establish a local list for unlisted buildings that contributepositively to the character and appearance of theconservation area (see 4.4.d) Carry out full audit of signage to decide whereimprovements can be done (e.g. reduce sign size,remove redundant signs, fix signs more appropriately) Make a full mapping and photographic record of gulliesand edge-of-carriageway cobbles and stonework Replace gate at north entrance of the village with one oflocal Dales style Paint street lighting posts blackThe Authority welcomes all further contributions and ideas for themanagement of the conservation area, so please get in touch with us!Action Plan.
