In particular, it is expected to inform the overall direction of employment policy (to be set out in the Core Strategy) and will assist in the formation of detailed policies (to be set out in the Accommodating Growth Development Plan Document (DPD). In December 2006 King Sturge completed an Employment Land Review for Darlington as part of a wider commission on the Darlington Gateway, along with Consultants BDP and Regeneris. This Employment Land Review draws heavily on the information provided in the initial 2006 / 07 review, but goes further to provide an update with evidence and clarity of the existing employment land supply and the local economic circumstances. The study has been undertaken in accordance with the advice given in the Employment Land Reviews Guidance Note, issued by the ODPM (now CLG) in 20041. The review consists of three key stages of work; Stage 1 – Taking Stock of the Existing Situation; Stage 2 – Creating a Picture of Future Requirements; and Stage 3 – Identifying a New Portfolio of Sites. Stage 1 Findings Stage 1 of the review is a simple assessment of the ‘fitness for purpose’ of the existing employment land portfolio. The principle purpose of the assessment is to identify which sites should be retained in employment use, and which could potentially be released for other uses. A set of 46 No. Employment sites were identified, which principally consist of employment allocations from the existing Borough of Darlington Local Plan 1997 (Alterations 2001) and also extensions to employment land that have been brought about through the granting of planning permission2 together with sites in existing employment use or with a predominantly industrial or commercial character, with the potential for employment use in the future. Individual site appraisals were made within the context of an initial assessment of the likely demand for employment land based on the characteristics of the sites in question with a criteria based on the most important factors affecting the location and the marketability of existing and potential employment sites in the Borough. The individual site appraisals found that the most sustainable sites for employment or a mix of employment and other uses are; Whessoe Road; South East Town Centre Fringe; East Town Centre Fringe; Central Park; and Valley Street. The most marketable sites for employment or mixed uses were found to be; Faverdale East Business Park; Yarm Road South; South East Town Centre Fringe; Morton Park; and, Morton Palms. This gave an initial indication of the fitness for purpose of each of the sites, to be taken into consideration through to Stage 3 of the Employment Land Review. 1 CLG (2004); Employment Land Reviews: Guidance Note; TSO; London 2 These principally relate to Durham Tees Valley Airport extension and Haughton Road (Central Park) site 7 Darlington Employment Land Review December 2009 Stage 2 Findings Stage 2 of the review provides an assessment of the likely future requirements for employment land using a range of forecasting techniques. The assessment demonstrates an anticipated demand for some 101.5ha of employment land over the period 2009-2026. The portfolio of sites that represent the existing employment land supply within the borough covers some 343.8ha. It is therefore evident that in quantitative terms, there would seem to be more than enough employment land currently available to meet the anticipated need over the coming years, but a figure that is still within the Regional Spatial Strategy figure of 360ha. This stage of the review allowed a basis for further consideration of the qualitative aspects of the employment land requirement, to ensure that sites were provided that were of the right type to meet the needs of businesses now and over the coming years. The study goes onto consider the individual site assessments carried out in the context of this, and of other important studies, such as the Gateway Study, to consider the sites that should be taken through to provide a well structured and robust employment land and premises portfolio. Stage 3 Findings Stage 3 of the review confirms, through a detailed site appraisal process, which sites from the identified portfolio of sites are most likely to respond well to the expectations of occupiers and developers, whilst meeting established sustainability criteria. In light of the evident over-supply of employment land to meet the anticipated need, no further sites were considered. Stage 3 considers the sites in Stage 1 and identifies those to be taken forward to a recommended portfolio of sites and also considers those sites where a relaxation in the type of uses permitted, would be appropriate. The sites are shown below in Tables I and ii (below).

The River Tees Rediscovered Landscape Partnership, with funding raised by National Lottery players and awarded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, is an exciting initiative involving a wide range of partners, stretching from Piercebridge to the mouth of the Tees. Our vision is for the Tees Valley to be renowned for its rich landscape, heritage and culture. We aim to connect people and communities to the built and natural heritage within the Tees Valley, bringing our heritage to life, by offering new ways for people to see, hear, touch and enjoy it. This is one of a series of projects, which helps to increase learning about our landscape and its heritage. This guide is specifically aimed to encourage more use of the river and riverside areas. By raising awareness of this wonderful natural asset we hope to encourage people to nurture it and help to evolve its role in the future of Tees Valley.
