    The Raithwaite Estate, near Whitby, wanted to build 190 new holiday homes as well as a leisure centre and restaurant.

    Scarborough Borough Council turned down the planning application citing concerns over the impact on nearby ancient woodland.

    The development was opposed by the nearby North York Moors National Park.

    The Raithwaite Estate has been approached by the BBC for comment.

    Staff at Fulneck School in Pudsey, which is located 5,000 miles away from North Korea, were amazed to find that Sunday's underground H-bomb test was picked by their own "sensitive" recording equipment.

    Earlier this year, the boarding school was awarded Foundation Level of the British Council's International School Award for its earthquake measuring project.

    The school's head of physics, Dr Caroline Neuberg, says: "Over the years, our seismometer has detected events all over world, including Nepal's 2015 devastating earthquake.

    "Sadly, this is the first time we have recorded a tremor caused by the testing of a nuclear weapon."

  17. Watch: Pupils in West Yorkshire ticket wranglepublished at 17:05 British Summer Time 7 September 2017

    Teenagers say they are being singled out and treated like criminals because of misleading advice about buying a ticket on the Ilkley to Leeds rail line.

    People travelling on the route say their journey has become a "nightmare" because of confusion about where they can buy a ticket.

    Passengers say many stations on the line have a limited number of ticket machines - and sometimes it's not possible to pay the conductor.

    Some teenagers - like Hattie - say they feel they're being singled-out:

    Northern Rail says it is looking into the concerns, and is reviewing a number of individual cases.

    Under the new conditions, the window will close at 17:00 on the Thursday before the Premier League season begins but clubs will be able to sell until the end of the normal window.

  20. Partition: Sell-out for Radio Leeds show at West Yorkshire Playhousepublished at 16:43

    BBC Radio Leeds and the West Yorkshire Playhouse are coming together to present a performance marking the 70th anniversary of Partition, the division of India and creation of Pakistan.

    Written by Leeds writer Nick Ahad and directed by Stefan Escreet, Partition will explore the devastating legacy of the religious division which cost around a million lives, through the eyes of a modern day couple.

    Cast and creator of Partition play

    The play, which is drawn from a radio play which was broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds at midnight on 14-15 August to mark the exact time 70 years ago when India was partitioned, will run for three performances over Friday and Saturday.

    Sadly, all the tickets, which were free, are now gone.

    BBC Radio Leeds Editor, Sanjiv Buttoo, says: "Partition is very much an important landmark for our South Asian communities, and the memories of 70 years ago are still fresh for the current generation of British Indian and British Pakistani families.

    "Historically, this world event saw the largest ever movement of mankind, so we commissioned this play to give an insight of how it still affects our lives in a profound way.

    "We are very proud and excited to be working closely with the team at the West Yorkshire Playhouse to bring our listeners history in a modern, contemporary and relevant way."
