  • 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.

  • Teesdale Local Plan Chapter 5 Population and Housing
    Teesdale Local Plan – Adopted June 2002 CHAPTER 5 POPULATION & HOUSING Teesdale Local Plan – Adopted June 2002 5) POPULATION & HOUSING 5.0 INTRODUCTION 5.0.1 The projected population of the district is inextricably linked to the District’s future housing requirements. The maintenance of a stable population is a realistic goal for the next ten years. Due to the ageing demographic structure of the district, in–migration would be required to achieve this goal. 5.1 POPULATION PROJECTIONS & HOUSING REQUIREMENTS 5.1.1 The housing requirements of the plan are calculated on the basis of Durham County Structure Plan Policy. Policy 7 of the Structure Plan states that Teesdale will require about 1,000 more dwellings between 1991 – 2006. As this Plan extends to 2010 the housing requirement calculation will need to make an estimate for the building requirement between 2006 and 2010. This is achieved by taking the Structure Plan figure, converting that to an annual building rate and thereby providing an estimate for the period 2006-2010. The housing requirement will also need to take into account those dwellings completed between 1991 – 1998. 5.1.2 According to the published 1991 census figures the Population of Teesdale is 24,068 of which 306 are in communal establishments, Population projections based on 1997 estimates show the population is expected to increase slightly to 24,193 by 2010, with the number of persons in communal establishments expected to remain constant, this would lead to 23,887 requiring housing. 5.1.3 As previously mentioned above, latest projections show a slight increase in population added to that the reduction in the average household size would result in the need for additional dwellings.

  • 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.

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.
