Whilst there are lots of great examples of innovation, best practice and communities investing in their areas, the task ahead of us is a difficult one. Reduced government funding; an increase in poor quality housing stock, particularly in the private rented sector; changes to benefits, increasing homelessness and a growing elderly population to name some of the key issues we need to consider. This is why we need a strong Housing Strategy, one which identifies not just the problems but the solutions and which makes the most of our partnership working to really make a difference. This Housing Strategy has been developed to consider those issues and to set out the council’s approach to delivering positive outcomes for our residents. Importantly, the Housing Strategy has been developed to be able to respond positively to future issues and opportunities as they arise and to ensure we maximise every opportunity to deliver interventions to support our communities. The Housing Strategy sets out clear priorities for County Durham. This includes, improving standards in the private rented sector with Cabinet having agreed for work to be undertaken with the intention of submitting an application to government for a county wide selective licensing designation. In addition, priorities include providing suitable homes for the older people within our communities and delivering affordable housing to meet the needs of our residents. The Housing Strategy needs to be flexible to ensure that it can adapted to new opportunities and also be the catalyst for change. The Strategy contains an action plan which will be delivered jointly with our partners across County Durham.

For this reason, the Housing Strategy Framework is designed to be able to be supplemented or amended as necessary. All future sections will be considered by relevant partnership groups and in discussion with key stakeholders. A delivery focused Strategy The Housing Strategy is supplemented by a strategic action plan, which reflect the Partnership Framework. This will be subject to review annually. Throughout the Strategy, the strategic approach to addressing issues and delivering outcomes is set out within an orange framed text box for ease of review and to provide a clear understanding of the direction of the Housing Strategy. 4 Introduction County Durham Housing Strategy Key Messages The following key messages set out the priorities of the County Durham Housing Strategy: The Housing Strategy is a strategy for housing across County Durham - first and foremost it is a Strategy that puts people first. The council will continue to focus on raising standards in the private rented sector and will seek greater licencing powers in order to tackle poor landlords, as well continuing engagement with landlords and extending the Accredited Landlord Scheme for responsible landlords. The Housing Strategy will deliver homes for our communities, and specifically plan to meet the needs of our older people and to support people to live independently for as long as possible: A minimum of 10% of homes specifically designed to meet the needs of older people as part of all future development sites; and Specialist care facilities to be provided in partnership with care providers to meet the identified needs of our older people.

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.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Mr G J Ellerton CMC MBE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J G Powell FRIGS FSVA MEMBERS Lady Ackner Mr T Brockbank DL Professor G E Cherry Mi- K J L Newell Mr B Scholes OBE THE RT. HON. PATRICK JENKIN MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BACKGROUND 1. In a letter dated 20 March 198! the Chester-le-Street District Council invited us to make proposals for certain changes to the boundary of their district with the district of the City of Durham. The suggestion for changes had arisen during the course of the review by the District Council of the parish pattern in their area and involved the parishes of Plawsworth and Sacriston. Durham City Council had not at that stage completed their own parish review, but it was clear that the changes concerned were not supported by them or by the councils of the three parishes in their district which would be involved - Framwellgate Moor, Kimblesworth and Witton Gilbert. We decided to defer action on the matter until we had received Durham City Council's parish review report. ?., In submitting their report in August 1982 Durham City Council opposed all the district boundary changes suggested by Chester-le-Street District Council; Kimblesworth Parish Council wrote to us separately to emphasise their opposition to the ones affecting then. The City Council sent us a copy of a letter from the Durham County Council, however, which said, in relation to the possibility of changes in th^ Kimblesworth Parish boundary, that the Council considered that the villages of Kimblesworth and Nettlesworth (the latter currently in Plawsworth Parish, Chester-le-Street) should be treated as one settlement and that future development should be in relation to a single local plan.

  • Durham City Liberal Democrats Wish to Submit the Following Proposals for Consideration As Amended Electoral Divisions for the New Unitary Council
    BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND ELECTORAL BOUNDARY REVIEW: DURHAM COUNTY COUNCIL LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PROPOSAL Durham City Liberal Democrats wish to submit the following proposals for consideration as amended electoral divisions for the new Unitary Council. Context The proposals are based on the following criteria: The number of councillors will remain at 126. Wherever possible the divisions will have two members, though one and three member wards may be created to satisfy other criteria (see below). The electorate of each division will normally be within a tolerance of plus or minus 10% of the County average of 6,373 electors i.e. from 5,738 to 7,010. Data is derived from County projections for 2013 plus the corrected student numbers (see below). Division boundaries will respect parish boundaries and where they are not co- terminus will follow parish ward boundaries. Exceptionally, new parish wards may be created. Natural communities to form the basic building blocks of the divisions. Proposals for Durham City The proposals for Durham City satisfy the above criteria more closely than other suggestions. Change is kept to a minimum, numerical anomalies evened out, and an even stronger sense of community is delivered than with the existing boundaries. A brief commentary is provided after each Divisional description. Student Adjustments The projections to 2013 in some central polling districts are affected by changes in the rules for voter registration which removed registration from members of a household that failed to reconfirm after 12 months. Durham University is a powerful presence in the City’s housing market. The majority of student rented houses appear to have been significantly affected by this ruling, resulting in significant reductions in registration numbers between 2004 and 2008 (e.g.
