development and other use of land within the whole administrative area of Easington District until 1986. The Council has now prepared a new District Local Plan to provide an up-to-date planning policy framework relevant to the needs of its residents. The new Plan, to be known as the Easington District Local Plan, will cover the period to the year 2006. In July 1993 the Council published a Consultation Draft Plan to obtain the views and input of a wide range of public and private sector organisations, neighbouring local authorities and the general public. The District Council carefully considered all the comments made at this stage together with changes in Government planning guidance and local circumstances, and published the Local Plan Review Deposit Draft Plan in February, 1998.

    Durham Rare Plant Register 2011 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2011, second edition. Improvements in the 2011 edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. One kilometre resolution maps for upland and coastal species. My thanks to Bob Ellis for advice on mapping. The ―County Scarce‖ species are now incorporated into the main text. Hieracium is now included. This edition is ―regionally aligned‖, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. There is now a site index. Cover picture—Dark Red Helleborine at Bishop Middleham Quarry, its premier British site. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust‘s ―Recorder" system. We also have a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, to carry out conservation projects to protect the rare species. The purpose of this document is to introduce the Rare Plant Register and to give an account of the information that it holds, and the species to be included.

    Former Colliery Spoil Heap, Hesleden, Durham

    Planning Services COMMITTEE REPORT APPLICATION DETAILS APPLICATION NO: DM/14/00519/MIN Reclamation of former colliery spoil mound to extract coal FULL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION: spoil, reprofiling of mound on completion of works and landscaping works. NAME OF APPLICANT: Hargreaves Surface Mining Ltd ADDRESS: Former Colliery Spoil Heap, Hesleden, Durham ELECTORAL DIVISION: Blackhalls Chris Shields, Senior Planning Officer CASE OFFICER: 03000 261394, [email protected] DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND PROPOSALS The Site 1. The village of Hesleden is located south of the B1281 Road between the A19 to the west and the A1086 Road to the east. The former Castle Eden Colliery and associated spoil heap lie adjacent to the village, immediately south of the Haswell to Hart Railway Path, now part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network. This was once a mineral railway line serving various collieries in East Durham and finally closed in 1980. The site is on the northern edge of Hesleden Dene, which links with Nesbitt Dene to become Crimdon Dene, on the northern outskirts of Hartlepool. 2. The village of Castle Eden lies approximately 1 kilometre to the west; the A19 is approximately 1 kilometre further west again and the settlement of Blackhall Rocks lies three kilometres to the north east. 3. The application site is accessed via Gray Avenue, which in turn, leads to the B1281 Road. At the corner of Gray Avenue, where it becomes Front Street, an unmetalled track leads to the site. This track, which forms part of Footpath No.24 (Monk Hesleden Parish), also serves a number of smallholdings, allotments and associated buildings in different ownerships in close proximity to the site.

Introduction Welcome to Durham’s Heritage Coastal Footpath, an 11 mile walking route following the England Coast Path National Trail. Discover and explore spectacular grasslands, superb coastal denes and uncover the rich heritage that has shaped this coastline into a unique and fascinating place to be. Why is it so special? Durham’s Coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of Magnesian Limestone Coastal Grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. The Northern Brown Argus butterfly can be found amongst these grasslands in the summer months and flowers such as orchids, Bloody Cranesbill, Thrift, Birds’ Eye Primrose and Common Rock Rose are a characteristic sight on the grassy cliff tops. The sound of Skylarks and Lapwings in the summer are a musical treat not to be missed. The coastal denes created at the end of the last ice age support some of the most natural woodland in North East England and provide a valuable habitat for mammals such as deer, foxes, badgers and bats.

THE POPLARS, CHESTER-LE-STREET BY THE WAY Secretaries of Societies and other contributors to "The Vasculum" are invited to send their notes to the Editor before 15th June, 1967. OBITUARY NOTICE PROFESSOR JOHN WILLIAM HESLOP HARRISON, D.SC., F.R.S., F.R.S.E. On January 23rd 1967, Professor J. W. Heslop Harrison passed away at the age of 86, at his home in Birtley. After graduating at Armstrong College, University of Durham in 1903, he became a science master at Middlesbrough High School. During these school- teaching years, he carried on with his researches in his spare time. It was not long before his abilities in field studies, in both plants and insects, became widely known. It is not surprising, therefore, to find him returning to the University as a lecturer in zoology in 1919. His subsequent rise to fame was phenomenal. In 1926 he was appointed to a personal Readership in Genetics, the only one there has ever been at Newcastle. In 1927 he was appointed to the Chair of Botany, then in the very next year he gained his greatest distinction by becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society. During all this time and indeed until only a few years ago, research papers flowed from his pen at an unbelievable rate. His name must have appeared in every journal of biological subjects at one time or another. In addition, it must be remembered that he was one of the four founder editors of the "Vasculum" in 1915, one of the founder members of the Wallis Club in 1922, one of the founder members of the Northern Naturalists' Union in 1924 and the first Vice-President of the Naturalists' Trust of Northumberland and Durham.

Executive summary Co-firing has made a significant contribution to renewable electricity generation in the UK, and is supported through the Renewables Obligation (RO)—the government’s primary tool for encouraging the large-scale deployment of renewable electricity.1 However, the role of co- firing in the RO has been reviewed on a number of occasions, and revised through changes in the cap placed on the extent to which co-fired Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) can be used by licensed electricity suppliers within the scheme.

    East Durham Area Action Partnership Annual Report 2020-2021

    East Durham Area Action Partnership Better for everyone East Durham Area Action Partnership Annual Report 2020/21 Introduction The past twelve months have challenged us all in many ways. The Covid pandemic has changed how the council and Area Action Partnerships (AAPs) have had to work as many communities and local residents have struggled because of the restrictions that we have all had to follow. If there are positives we can take from this terrible situation it is that ‘community’ is alive and well in County Durham. Thousands of people have stepped forward and have taken action to ensure the most isolated and vulnerable have been looked after. The people of County Durham need to be applauded for their efforts. Many of those organisations that have been helping out have been supported by the AAPs who have provided funding to numerous groups enabling them to do their vital work. Some of this funding has come directly through the AAPs whilst other resources have been allocated from the County Councillors Neighbourhood Budgets. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the AAP teams for their help and support in ensuring that our Neighbourhood Budgets have been making a real difference in local communities. The next year will be no less challenging but I am delighted to say that the AAPs are being given extra resources to help communities recover from the pandemic. There is also new funding to support the County Council’s Towns and Villages Programme and the AAPs will be playing a key role in ensuring this funding helps to improve communities across County Durham.
