PROPOSED KIRBY HILL MSA – DEVELOPER APPEALS AGAIN, NEW PUBLIC INQUIRY
06 June 2009: Heather Ive Associates have submitted an appeal against Harrogate Borough Council’s refusal of planning permission for a Motorway Service Area at Kirby Hill. This, the third appeal Heather Ive Associates has made to the Planning Inspectorate, is likely to be examined at Public Inquiry in October 2009. Kirby Hill RAMS are preparing their case for the Public Inquiry and will vigorously oppose this appeal on behalf of the local community. The RAMS case at the Public Inquiry will be led by Mr. Gareth Owens. Individual objections must be registered with the Planning Inspectorate by 13th July 2009. You can write to the Planning Inspectorate, or object online. Click here for details of this new development and here for details of how you can help defeat this appeal.
About Langthorpe
Your one-stop location for all things that are Langthorpe
Langthorpe was on the Great North Road, and stagecoaches on the way to Edinburgh, Leeds and Newcastle would have passed through the village. Langthorpe is halfway between Edinburgh and London, and in the height of the season two thousand cattle a day were driven across the bridge on their way to markets in the south, stopping to be shod at the local blacksmiths.

The commercial importance of Langthorpe was later enhanced as first the canal arrived in 1770 and then the railway in 1848 with Boroughbridge station being built on the edge of Langthorpe in1875.
