In particular, the tireless and skilful work of Jill Gladstone, Michael Horsley, Brian Masterman and Brian Naylor needs to be recorded. Lillian Dixon and the Local History Society contributed valuable historical data. Judy Hurst provided the lovely drawings. The Planning Division at Derwentside DC gave tactful advice and guidance and provided the superb maps. Many residents responded helpfully to frequent consultations. The Village Voice newspaper was invaluable in keeping everyone informed. Lanchester Parish Council gave help and support throughout. The Lanchester Village Design Statement would have not been possible without a generous donation from Sir Tom Cowie and a substantial grant from Shell Better Britain. Design by Ian Clarkson. Printed by inprint Derwentside District Council. Our grateful thanks are due to all of them. Mike Gladstone. Chair of the Lanchester Partnership Ltd.

SETTLEMENTS 8 County Durham Settlement Study September 2017 Planning the future of County Durham 1 Context 1 Context County Durham has a population of 224,000 households (Census 2011) and covers an area of 222,600 hectares. The County stretches from the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the west to the North Sea Heritage Coast in the east and borders Gateshead and Sunderland, Northumberland, Cumbria and Hartlepool, Stockton, Darlington and North Yorkshire. Although commonly regarded as a predominantly rural area, the County varies in character from remote and sparsely populated areas in the west, to the former coalfield communities in the centre and east, where 90% of the population lives east of the A68 road in around half of the County by area. The Settlement Study 2017 seeks to provide an understanding of the number and range of services available within each of the 230 settlements within County Durham. (a) Identifying the number and range of services and facilities available within a settlement is useful context to inform decision making both for planning applications and policy formulation. The range and number of services within a settlement is usually, but not always, proportionate to the size of its population. The services within a settlement will generally determine a settlement's role and sphere of influence. This baseline position provides one aspect for considering sustainability and should be used alongside other relevant, local circumstances.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

    CITY OF DURHAM - LOCAL PLAN ADOPTED PLAN WRITTEN STATEMENT (As amended by the Secretary of State’s Direction under paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 in respect of saved policies at 27 th September 2007) Mr D Thornborrow, Head of Planning Services City of Durham Council, 17 Claypath, Durham, DH1 1RH 19 th May 2004 City of Durham Local Plan - May 2004 2 City of Durham Local Plan - May 2004 FOREWORD The Council’s vision for the People and City of Durham is of Flourishing Communities and Durham as a Capital City. Twenty-six villages and a town with its very different constituent parts, make up the District of Durham. Each one of these parts of our whole has different histories, characteristics, aspirations and needs which must be respected so that they can all flourish. The Local Plan provides the framework within which growth, change and new opportunities can develop. Durham is uniquely special, offering us a good place to live, to shop and to visit, as well as being the driver of economic development, not only for the whole of the District but also throughout the Region. Our World Heritage site and nationally renowned University give us important assets on which to build to achieve economic well being and secure our futures. This Plan must protect and enhance what is good, and improve and evolve Durham where desirable, and ensure that our best assets continue to improve all our lives. The City of Durham Local Plan, which replaces the 1988 Local Plan, sets out a land use policy framework that will guide new development over the period to 2006, its two core aims intend to express this vision.

Covering 70 square miles of the beautiful and historic Derwent Valley and its surroundings, this is one of the north east’s most rewarding areas to explore. But the Derwent Valley hasn’t always been the tranquil place you’ll find today. It was a cradle of the Industrial Revolution, with a booming iron and steel industry that lasted from the 1690s right up until the 1980s. You’ll find the legacy of metalworking throughout the Land of Oak & Iron. Industry left its mark on the landscape, with forges and furnaces. It also shaped local communities, influencing traditions such as rapper dancing and the writings of ommyT Armstrong, the pitman poet. Nowadays the old industries have fallen silent. Nature is reclaiming the valley, creating a rich patchwork of woodlands, riverbanks and grasslands. These habitats support a wide range of species such as otters, kingfishers and red kites, which are making a comeback.

  • Durham City Neighbourhood Plan Working Party Walking and Cycling
    Durham City Neighbourhood Plan Working Party Walking and cycling evidence paper 31 March 2019 1 Outline of this paper This document is presented as part of the evidence base for the Durham City Neighbourhood Plan. It provides extra detail behind the maps of walking and cycling issues which are included in Appendix D of the Plan. 1.1 Purpose of the maps in relation to the transport policies The supporting text to Policy T1 refers to the pedestrian and cycling context maps in Appendix D. Paragraph 4.229 expands on the requirements of Policy T1 in respect of the assessment of the accessibility of developments. Developers are urged to have regard to the issues identified on the maps, and to this evidence paper, when preparing Transport Statements and Transport Assessments. The maps are one source of potential off-site improvements which might be achieved via planning obligations, as outlined in paragraph 4.232 of the Neighbourhood Plan. Planning officers and planning committee members may also find the document useful when considering the transport impacts of developments, particularly with regard to active travel modes. The maps are referred to in Looking Forwards (Durham City Neighbourhood Plan Working Party, 2019), which accompanies the plan, in Initiative 16. This proposes that a programme of physical infrastructure improvements be carried out, with strong stakeholder involvement, building on the information gathered and summarised in the maps. It would be appropriate for this activity to be carried out as part of the development of a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for Durham City, which will be taken forward by Durham County Council under the auspices of the Strategic Cycling and Walking Delivery Plan.
