24/1521 – TO RECEIVE A REPORT FROM THE LISTED BUILDINGS WORKING GROUP
Mr Duncan Marks employed by the York Civic Trust addressed the parish council meeting.
Cllr. Harper has worked with other councillors and Mr Marks has worked with Post Graduate Students from the York University under guidance for the Civic Trust to look at adding properties within Upper and Nether Poppleton to the York Local Historic List.
Cllrs. Harper and Bates had produced photos and information which has been circulated with the other councillors in Nether and Upper Poppleton. The Civic Trust used this information as a source and in addition looked at maps, records and other information to increase and identify the criteria by which buildings, views and historical setting could be assessed,
Mr Marks circulated the findings report to all councillors and an electronic version will be forwarded so that all the Upper Poppleton Councillors can be informed of this research and findings.
Clarification was given regarding the status of Graded Listed Buildings and the Conservation Area protection in both villages which is supported by and through the Neighbourhood Plan.
The proposal is now to select those buildings of historic significance which meet or exceed the criteria set out in the research, to inform and work with CYC Conservation Officers so they can be placed on the York Local History List.
Wider consultation and exhibition will be put in place and local owners of such buildings will be consulted as well as the population of Poppleton at large.
We are in the unique situation of having a wonderful selection of historic, interesting and valued properties, buildings, views and sites that should be preserved for future generations. The villages of Poppleton have existed prior to the Doomsday Book and we have an obligation to future generations to hand on this valuable asset for all within the villages.
Mr Marks was thanked for the time and level of academic research supplied by the Civic Trust and it is hoped that much of this work can be progressed.
24/153 – TO NOTE CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED
None specific to planning
24/154 – TO AGREE THE DATE OF THE NEXT MEETING
It was agreed that the next regular planning meeting would be held at 7.00pm in the Poppleton Centre on Monday 15 July 2024.
