Subject Guide 10 – Building Control Plans Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone: 03000 267619 Email: [email protected] Website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk Subject Guide 10 – Building Control Plans Issue no. 5 July 2020 Introduction Since the 1850s it has been a requirement to submit building plans to the local authority either for planning or building control purposes. This guide lists the series of building plans and registers or indexes of plans that are held by the record office for each planning authority that has existed in County Durham. The dates of existence of each authority are given in brackets. LB = Local Board of Health District UD = Urban District RSD = Rural Sanitary District RD = Rural District MB = Municipal Borough CB = County Borough MetB = Metropolitan Borough The range of dates for each record series is given, together with our catalogue reference numbers. Where plans may be held elsewhere then this is also indicated. For enquiries about planning applications after 1974 it is better to approach the Durham County Council Planning Service directly, by phone or email, or via the planning portal on the DCC website (www.durham.gov.uk/article/8276/Find-a-planning-application ). To find a plan relating to a particular building then there are five possible procedures to follow, indicated in the list by the following code letters: C When plans have been fully catalogued then our online catalogue database can be used to search for an address and our catalogue reference number will refer to a specific plan. I Where an original index to plans exists then this can be used to look for an address and find the appropriate original plan number. R Where an original register of plans exists then this can be searched to find the appropriate original plan number. U Where there is no index or register and plans are uncatalogued then our Research Service should be used. P Consult the Durham County Council Planning Portal and/or Planning Service Council planning committee minutes will identify when planning consent was granted, though these have restricted access, for data protection purposes. Council built housing was not normally processed through the normal planning consent and building control systems. In some cases we hold plans of house types, estate layouts or individual properties, dating from the 1930s to the 1980s. These are listed separately at the end of this leaflet.

  • Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham
    Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 7 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 11 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 13 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Derwentside District Council area, County Durham. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (called in this report ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • Cartogram [1883 WORDS]
    Vol. 6: Dorling/Cartogram/entry Dorling, D. (forthcoming) Cartogram, Chapter in Monmonier, M., Collier, P., Cook, K., Kimerling, J. and Morrison, J. (Eds) Volume 6 of the History of Cartography: Cartography in the Twentieth Century, Chicago: Chicago University Press. [This is a pre-publication Draft, written in 2006, edited in 2009, edited again in 2012] Cartogram A cartogram can be thought of as a map in which at least one aspect of scale, such as distance or area, is deliberately distorted to be proportional to a variable of interest. In this sense, a conventional equal-area map is a type of area cartogram, and the Mercator projection is a cartogram insofar as it portrays land areas in proportion (albeit non-linearly) to their distances from the equator. According to this definition of cartograms, which treats them as a particular group of map projections, all conventional maps could be considered as cartograms. However, few images usually referred to as cartograms look like conventional maps. Many other definitions have been offered for cartograms. The cartography of cartograms during the twentieth century has been so multifaceted that no solid definition could emerge—and multiple meanings of the word continue to evolve. During the first three quarters of that century, it is likely that most people who drew cartograms believed that they were inventing something new, or at least inventing a new variant. This was because maps that were eventually accepted as cartograms did not arise from cartographic orthodoxy but were instead produced mainly by mavericks. Consequently, they were tolerated only in cartographic textbooks, where they were often dismissed as marginal, map-like objects rather than treated as true maps, and occasionally in the popular press, where they appealed to readers’ sense of irony.
