Archaeological Buildings Assessment Annis, R & Claydon, M Durham : University of Durham, Archaeological Services, 2007, 44pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs, CD Work undertaken by: University of Durham, Archaeological Services The present Baths building was opened in 1932, when it provided facilities for swimming, private bathing and laundry. It was of local interest and limited architectural merit. It was built cheaply, and so contained few decorative features or embellishments. The lack of substantial maintenance in latter years meant that while it still functioned effectively, the building was in a poor state of repair. It was photographed as part of this project, and a ground-floor plan and elevation drawings had been made by architects for the scheme. It was not recommended that the building, which would be replaced by the new swimming pool at Freeman’s Place, should be retained or converted as part of any redevelopment of the Elvet Waterside site. If it was thought desirable that an element of the building should be preserved, the sandstone columns at the north end of the main pool were the only candidate for such treatment. The vennel walls were of no historic, architectural or archaeological Archaeological Investigations Project 2007 Building Recording Version 4.1 significance. However, the lines of these vennels were important elements of the historic fabric of this part of Durham. This was particularly true of the east vennel, which was in existence by the first half of the 15th century. It was recommended that measures should be taken to ensure that this significance was reflected and retained in any proposed development of this site.

A water mill and associated pond was present in the southeast corner of the site in the 19th century and may have been on the same site as a mill documented intermittently since medieval times. Pithead Baths were constructed in 1959 and were in use until the colliery closed in 1966. It was recommended that the development proposal be submitted for the conversion of the standing structure to a new use.

Robert Stephenson and Co. started to develop the area in 1823 and by 1837 the office had been constructed with a yard to the north and east. A timber structure has been built within this yard by 1919. Within the first floor of this structure there was evidence of the 1934 fire, which caused the first floor of the office to be rebuilt. The Coppersmith's shop and vaulted cellars beneath had been constructed by 1846. The Coppersmith's shop originally had a yard to the north-west with an open aspect onto it. This yard had been covered over by 1896. Within the coppersmith's shop and vaulted Archaeological Investigations Project 2007 Building Recording Version 4.1 cellars, no other major alterations were made, instead only minor alterations such as blocking windows and doors took place.

    Overview and Scrutiny Committee 23 February 2017 ‘Let’s talk transport – Re-Newcastle’ – development programme update Graham Grant, Head of Transport Investment, Place Directorate 1. Summary 1.1 This report is to provide an update to the Overview and Scrutiny (O&S) Committee on the themes of work identified in the ‘Let’s Talk Transport – Re-Newcastle’ report of July 2014 and subsequent Cabinet reports including March and November 2016. 2. Introduction 2.1 In July 2014, a report to the Council Cabinet noted that our Local Plan recognises that an improved transport network is fundamentally important to the future economic growth and liveability of Newcastle. The paper outlined an approach to take forward the Council’s commitment to upgrade our transport system by helping people to move more freely around, across and within the city. 2.2 In line with the transparent and democratic processes of the Council, the work associated with progressing these recommendations are subject to regular review by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee. 3. North East Local Growth Deal schemes 3.1 Following recent announcements by government about Local Growth Deal funding the North East Local Enterprise Partnership (the LEP) are conducting a review of the existing Growth Deal programme. Newcastle City Council, along with all other partners in the North East Combined Authority area are taking part in this review. 3.2 Newcastle City Council originally secured funding for four transport schemes through the first round of the North East Local Growth Deal. The Full Business Case for Scotswood Bridgehead has been submitted and will be assessed against the North East Combined Authority’s assurance framework.

Annexe D Surveys and research Annexe E References and acknowledgements 2 1 Introduction 1.1 We need to consider whether we need standards for green spaces in Newcastle. What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.
