    Mr David Hand Our ref: NA/2009/104453/CS-03/SB1- Head of Planning Policy, Economic Strategy L01 and Environment Your ref: Darlington Borough Council Planning Policy Date: 17 September 2020 Darlington County Durham DL1 5QT Dear Mr Hand, CONSULTATION ON DARLINGTON BOROUGH PROPOSED SUBMISSION LOCAL PLAN (REGULATION 19). Thank you for referring the above local plan document for the Environment Agency to review. We have taken to the time to review the Proposed Submission Local Plan Document and the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) alongside other relevant supporting evidence documents, namely: Darlington Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (2019) We are making comments to the plan in accordance with paragraph 35 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to assess whether they have been prepared in accordance with legal and procedural requirements. Having reviewed the submission plan, we consider it to be sound. However, we have recommended the following changes below: Darlington Local Plan (Submission Document) We remain supportive of the vision for Darlington which included the overarching aim to protect and enhance the quality of Darlington’s built, natural and historic environment, and to use it positively to create great places. We are supportive of specific objective 5 and however would still provide a suggested rewording of clause d) to ‘Enhance the natural environment Mitigate flood risks through the provision of Sustainable Drainage Systems, Natural Flood Management and environmental and ecological improvement of the River Skerne and River Tees.’ This objective should be more aligned to water quality and the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. We are supportive of specific objective 6 and note the Council have included our previous comments for clause c).

  • Borough of Darlington Listed Buildings
    EXTRACTS FROM THE LISTS OF BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST FOR THE BOROUGH OF DARLINGTON Updated 01/11/2016 Economic Initiative Division Darlington Borough Council INTRODUCTION WHAT THIS DOCUMENT REPRESENTS This document consists of an export from a Listed Buildings database maintained by Darlington Borough Council. The data has been captured from various statutory lists that have been compiled over the years by the Secretary of State for different parts of the Borough. Some of the information has been amended for clarity where a building has been demolished/de- listed, or an address has changed. Each entry represent a single ‘listing’ and these are arranged by parish or town. The vast majority of entries are in one-to-a-page format, although some of the more recent listings are more detailed and lengthy descriptions, spilling over to 2 or 3 pages. BACKGROUND The first listings, in what is now the Borough of Darlington, were made in 1952. The urban area was the subject of a comprehensive re-survey in 1977, and the rural area in 1986 (western parishes) and 1988 (eastern parishes). A number of formal changes to the lists have been made since, as individual buildings have been ‘spot-listed’, de-listed, had grades changed, descriptions altered and mistakes corrected. Further information on conservation in the Borough of Darlington can be found on our website. See www.planning.gov.uk/conservation. NAVIGATING THIS DOCUMENT Unfortunately there is no index to this document in its current format. Please use the text search facility provided in your PDF Viewer to find the entry that you require.

It also assesses the significance of the line and any remaining structures associated with it. It then goes on to assess the potential for future enhanced access, conservation and interpretation of the branch line in advance of the Stockton & Darlington Railway’s 200th anniversary in 2025. The Stockton & Darlington Railway’s Croft branch line was opened on the 27th October 1829. It was 3 ½ miles long and ran from north of Hill House east of Skerne Bridge in Darlington to the north side of Hurworth Place where it terminated at the S&DR’s newly built Croft Depot. It was built as a single-track railway designed to haul coals to the depot largely for a domestic market. It also hauled limestone for agricultural use and building materials as required, and passengers made use of the line too.

  • Historical Journey Along the River Tees and Its Tributaries
    Historical Journey along the River Tees and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Tees beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with facets of interest to me during the 30 years or so that I spent living and working near the River Tees. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document I give here page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text. Place Page No. Source of the River Tees 3 Middleton-in-Teesdale 5 Barnard Castle 9 River Greta confluence 15 Piercebridge 18 Darlington 20 Yarm 28 River Leven confluence 35 Stockton-on-Tees 36 Middlesbrough 37 Saltburn-by-the-Sea 46 Hartlepool 48 There is a sketch map of the river and the main tributaries in Table T1 on Page 50.
