1 Title Page TITLE PAGE 1 Leader’s Foreword “As the Leader of Hartlepool Council I am proud to endorse this Publication Local Plan for the Borough. The Local Plan is incredibly important as it will set the planning framework for the next 15 years. It contains policies that will help Hartlepool achieve its Vision for future growth and prosperity with a wide range and choice of homes and jobs within a high quality environment. Hartlepool has so much to offer, with its fantastic marina, a great coastline and a beautiful rural environment on our doorstep. In recent years there have been major achievements through regeneration, improvements to local communities and investment in housing and new businesses. The rebuilding of the Hartlepool College of Further Education and major investment in Cleveland College of Art and Design, improvements to retail facilities and the transport interchange - all in the heart of the town centre - are positive signs of how the town is moving forward. There has also been significant investment in other areas such as Queens Meadow Business Park where we have the most successful Enterprise Zone in the Tees Valley and a new Fire Brigade administrative and training centre being built. Looking ahead, the town is well placed to benefit from future growth in offshore wind and renewable energy and other ‘green’ industries and this Local Plan will ensure that the planning framework supports this ambition through land allocations and infrastructure provision. I believe that the growth proposals within the Local Plan will benefit Hartlepool and its residents through attracting significant inward investment and the associated jobs and opportunities that will result from growing our economy. I will certainly be looking to secure the highest possible quality of design and environment for all development within the Borough. There are still many challenges that need to be tackled, in particular the issues of empty homes, affordable homes, unemployment, improving leisure facilities, vacant shops and environmental protection and enhancement. Hopefully this Local Plan will contribute towards achieving these aims alongside other strategies which are in place. Hartlepool has a strong tradition of working together in partnership with the local community and with the private and public sector and this has stood us in good stead in drawing together these planning policies. I believe that this Local Plan provides a strong and effective planning policy framework that will help the town achieve its ambitions whilst providing protection to its most attractive and sensitive assets including the historic environment and proud heritage.” Councillor Christopher Akers-Belcher Leader of Hartlepool Borough Council 1 LIST OF CONTENTS Chapter Section Page 1 Introduction 1 2 The

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Government has illustrated the importance of local authorities having an up- to-date Local Plan in place to help guide development. They have stated that local authorities must have “produced” a Local Plan by early 2017 or risk being put into special measures and having a Local Plan produced for the town by the Government. As such the local authority has set out a delivery framework for the Local Plan within the Local Development Scheme which was updated in November 2016 to reflect a slight delay in the production of this Publication Local Plan.

  • Minerals and Waste Core Strategy
    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Core Strategy DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i ii Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. This Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The separate Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with it, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.

  • Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents
    Draft Only i APPENDIX 2(i) Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents Core Strategy Publication Document August 2009 Draft Only ii Draft Only iii Foreword The preparation of Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) for Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees Boroughs presents an important opportunity to understand and deal with the cross boundary issues which arise from these two subjects in the Tees Valley. Two DPDs are being prepared. This Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The Policies and Sites document will, in conformity with this Core Strategy, identify specific sites for future minerals and waste development and provide a limited range of policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs will form part of the Local Development Framework for each Borough, which together with the Regional Spatial Strategy for North East England will form the Development Plan for the area. The DPDs cover all of the land within the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar & Cleveland Borough that also falls within the North York Moors National Park. The Publication Document represents the third stage of the preparation process. The first stage, in May 2007, was the production of an Issues and Options Report, where the issues affecting minerals and waste development in the Tees Valley were identified and consultees and the general public were asked to identify which of the options presented were the most appropriate for dealing with the issues.

  • TVNP CF BOA I Statement
    Tees Valley Biodiversity Opportunity 2017 Area Policy Statement CF BOA I Biodiversity Opportunity Area: Central Farmland – North West Hartlepool CF BOA I 1. Background The Tees Valley can be divided into five broad areas of landscape type. The BOA’s comprise the key areas for potential biodiversity enhancement within these larger areas where targeted maintenance, restoration, creation, mitigation and offsetting measures should be adopted to enhance biodiversity and in turn help to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services. Collectively the BOA’s form a strategic network, representing a significant environmental asset for the Tees Valley TVNP Priority 1: Protect and enhance the geodiversity and biodiversity of the Tees Valley ensuring the conservation, restoration and creation of key landscapes and habitats, including mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change. TVNP Priority 2: Work at a landscape scale to restore and deliver robust ecological networks that demonstrate a wide range of environmental, social and economic outcomes. NPPF: para. 109: The planning system should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by: protecting and enhancing valued landscapes…; recognising the wider benefits of ecosystem services; minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity where possible, …establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures; NPPF: para. 117: plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; identify and map components of the local ecological networks (including) areas identified by local partnerships for habitat restoration or creation; preservation, restoration and re-creation of priority habitats, ecological networks and the protection and recovery of priority species populations 2.

What makes Elwick such a wonderful place to live in? We have a Church, two pubs, a Post Office/shop and a Primary School. Important though they are the things that make Elwick unique are its people and the beautiful countryside around us. So many villagers have helped to research the history of our community, either as members of our work groups or by providing interesting snippets of information to us, and we are indebted to you all. However none of this would have been possible without the support of the Parish Council, Durham County Council’s Limestone Landscape Project, who provided the matched funding (Big Lottery) and, of course, the team of specialists so ably lead by Robin Daniels of Tees Archaeology, supported by Tony Devos (Limestone Landscapes Project). Matched. Funding for the Wildlife element of the project was kindly provided by Tees Valley Community Foundation, which enabled us to produce two leaflets identifying the wildlife to be seen around the village and along the public footpaths.
