    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.

  • Northumberland Visitor Survey 2013
    NORTHUMBERLAND VISITOR SURVEY 2013 1 1. INTRODUCTION In 2005/06 One North East carried out the first region wide visitor survey for North East England to establish baseline profiles of tourists to the region. The survey was repeated in 2008 and again in 2010 to establish any changes in consumer demographics or behaviours. Following the abolition of the RDA’s the Northern Tourism Alliance recognised the importance of ensuring we have the most up to date information possible on our visitors and chose to come together to fund visitor survey interviews in 2013. This report summarises the findings for the interviews undertaken in Northumberland. The key objectives of the survey were to: To inform development decisions for Durham and the North East Understand visitor satisfaction and identify areas for improvement Understand people’s motivation for visiting Gather visitor profiles such as demographics, booking sources, use of the internet etc Gather economic expenditure data to feed into economic impact reports We received a total return of 334 completed surveys which were a mixture of online responses and surveys completed at attractions such as Woodhorn and Bamburgh Castle. 2 2. KEY FINDINGS Visitor Profiles 59% of visitors to Northumberland are staying overnight. 16% of visitors are new visitors while more than 1/3rd have been more than 20 times before. 41% of visitors said their main reason for visit was to visit heritage sites. General sightseeing and visiting artistic or heritage exhibits also came out highly. 9 out of 10 visitors use their own car to travel to Northumberland Previous visits to the region play a significant role in visitors choosing to return.

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion
    ESSOAr | https:/doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10501104.1 | CC_BY_NC_ND_4.0 | First posted online: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 01:27:37 | This content has not been peer reviewed. Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

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.
