ENGLISH Heritage should be urged to consider the long-term management of one of its leading attractions in the North as its popularity is impacting on residents, road safety and a business, a meeting has been told. The North York Moors National Park Authority’s planning committee was told while heritage issues over creating a campsite beside Cistercian monastery Byland Abbey had been ironed out, highways bosses had become increasingly concerned about the amount of visitors parking in the area. Members of the park authority agreed to grant the tenants of the Grade I listed Abbey Inn overlooking the 12th Century monument, which is credited with inspiring church architecture across the North, permission to create a campsite in its garden for three years, in order to assess disturbance levels it creates.
