DEVELOPMENT of a Christian meeting hall has been given final planning clearance on land near Ure Bank Top, Ripon, by Harrogate Borough Council.

The scheme involves a new access and a car parking area.

But planners say before development starts details of measures to avoid "noise breakout" - particularly from windows - must be submitted in writing to the council.

Several other conditions have been imposed by planners. One includes details being sent to the council of measures to overcome any potential ground instability.

The development site is within a mile of the notorious Ripon crater, in the Ure Bank area
