Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award.

  • County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE LANDSCAPE CLASSIFICATION The Landscape Classification The County Durham Landscape Character Assessment identifies landscape types and character areas at three different levels - the regional, the sub-regional and the local. Regional County Character Areas Sub-regional Broad Landscape Types Broad Character Areas See Table 1 Local Local Landscape Types See Table 2 Local Sub-types County Character Areas. County Character Areas are based on Natural England’s Countryside Character Areas. There are 6 Countryside Character Areas in County Durham, all of which extend beyond its administrative boundaries. County Character Areas are effectively those parts of Countryside Character Areas lying within the County. The boundaries of County Character Areas are more precisely drawn than those of Countryside Character Areas as they are based on a more detailed level of assessment. In reality the boundaries between these broad landscape zones are often gradual and progressive and difficult to identify precisely on the ground. The character of County Character Areas may differ in some ways from that of the larger Countryside Character Areas to which they belong. The descriptions of County Character Areas given here in the Landscape Assessment may therefore be slightly different to the descriptions given in other publications for Countryside Character Areas. Broad Landscape Types and Character Areas Broad Landscape Types are landscapes with similar patterns of geology, soils, vegetation, land use, settlement and field patterns identified at a broad sub-regional level. As with County Character Areas, the boundaries between Broad Landscape Types are not always precise, as the change between one landscape and another can be gradual and progressive.

  • Darlington Borough Council M3
    This document was classified as: OFFICIAL Darlington Borough Council Hearing Statement April 2021 Matter 3 - Vision, aims, objectives and spatial strategy Presumption in favour of sustainable development (policy SD1) SQ3.1. Subject to the Council’s proposed modification, is policy SD1 consistent with national policy and would it be effective in helping decision makers know how to react to development proposals? Yes. Subject to the proposed modification, policy SD1 is consistent with national policy and would be effective in helping decision makers know how to react to development proposals. In the Council’s response to PQ11 it was acknowledged that there were inconsistencies with policy SD1 and paragraph 11 of the NPPF. The related paragraph to the presumption in favour of sustainable development was revised in the 2018 version of the NPPF and these changes were not reflected in policy SD1. Modifications are suggested to the policy to resolve these issues and ensure consistency with the framework. Although policy SD1 replicates parts of paragraph 11 of the NPPF the intention was to assist in making local communities, developers and stakeholders more aware of the presumption and how it is applied. The Council would however be open to further discussion on this policy. Settlement hierarchy (policy SH1) and the distribution of housing and employment development allocations Q3.2. Is the settlement hierarchy set out in policy SH1 based on evidence that is relevant, up to date, adequate and proportionate? Is the hierarchy and associated broad distribution of development reasonable, having regard to alternatives that were considered during the preparation of the Plan and the findings of the sustainability appraisal? With regards to the first part of the question; yes, it is considered that the settlement hierarchy set out in policy SH1 is based on evidence that is relevant, up to date, adequate and proportionate.

  • County Durham | DH9 8PL CROFTS EDGE
    Crofts Edge Loud Hill | Greencroft | County Durham | DH9 8PL CROFTS EDGE Crofts Edge began life as part of a historic range of farm buildings which are believed to date back to the 19th century and were transformed in the 21st century to create an amazing detached country home offering over 4,400 sq feet of living space presented over two floors. When viewing this stunning stone built home you will see the influence of the Mediterranean in the property’s design with tiling and skirting boards running through the ground floor. It is our view that this spacious home will appeal to those seeking a family home in a rural setting or would be a great place for retirement, with bedrooms at both ground and first floor levels. You approach the property along a private lane which is shared with three other properties, with Crofts Edge having its own area of formal garden, extensive parking, integral double garage with a loft room over and a small grass field. From its rural location, situated between Stanley and Consett, the property is well placed for access to Newcastle and Durham as well as main road and rail connections. The North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is also within easy reach as is the Northumberland National Park, Kielder Forest and Observatory and the fabulous Northumberland coastline with its many castles and sandy beaches. Walking through an arched timber gate, a flagged pathway leads to the front entrance of Crofts Edge where you enter a hallway giving access to the cloakroom and integral double garage.

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.
