  • DM 17 03729 FPA Copthill Cowshill, Item 5D
    Planning Services COMMITTEE REPORT APPLICATION DETAILS APPLICATION NO: DM/17/03729/FPA FULL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION: Conversion of redundant building to holiday accommodation, including extension to north. NAME OF APPLICANT: Mr John Texeira ADDRESS: Land To The North Of Graveyard Copthill, Cowshill, DL13 1AB ELECTORAL DIVISION: Weardale CASE OFFICER: Adam Williamson, Planning Officer, 03000 260826 [email protected] DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND PROPOSAL 1. The application site comprises a small stone building on the south side of the A689, approximately 600 metres north west of Cowshill. The site lies within the Cowshill Conservation Area, and The North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 2. This application seeks to convert the building into single bedroom holiday accommodation. This would include an extension to the northern elevation, constructed from vertical timber cladding and a curved metal roof. The access and parking arrangements would be improved and a new dry stone wall would define a curtilage around the building. 3. The application has been called to the Planning Committee by Stanhope Parish Council who object to the design and materials of the proposed extension. PLANNING HISTORY 4. There is no recent planning history for this building. PLANNING POLICY NATIONAL POLICY 5. The Government has consolidated all planning policy statements, guidance notes and many circulars into a single policy statement, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The overriding message is that new development that is sustainable should go ahead without delay. It defines the role of planning in achieving sustainable development under three topic headings - economic, social and environmental, each mutually dependant.

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2011 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale Part of VC65
    Durham Rare Plant Register 2011 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2011, second edition. Improvements in the 2011 edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. One kilometre resolution maps for upland and coastal species. My thanks to Bob Ellis for advice on mapping. The ―County Scarce‖ species are now incorporated into the main text. Hieracium is now included. This edition is ―regionally aligned‖, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. There is now a site index. Cover picture—Dark Red Helleborine at Bishop Middleham Quarry, its premier British site. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust‘s ―Recorder" system. We also have a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, to carry out conservation projects to protect the rare species. The purpose of this document is to introduce the Rare Plant Register and to give an account of the information that it holds, and the species to be included.
