  • Minerals and Waste Policies and Sites DPD Policy
    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Policies & Sites DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. The Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. This Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with that Core Strategy, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part of Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.

  • The A19 Trunk Road
    THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION The A19 Trunk Road The A19 tends to live in the shadow of the more well known A1 it runs more or less parallel with. However, it is no less important to the region, serving the heavy industry and associated ports of Teesside, Wearside and Tyneside. Its journey from a single carriageway road linking coastal towns to modern day dual carriageway has been a painstaking process of over 45 years but has brought both economic and visual transformation to the North East. 1 A Broad History Today the A19 trunk road is a modern all-purpose dual carriageway running from the junction with the A1 at Seaton Burn, north of Newcastle, until it leaves the region south of Middlesbrough. It continues through North Yorkshire to Thirsk and, via a short link (A168), rejoins the A1 at Dishforth. The A19 itself continues as a non-trunk road to Doncaster. In 1952, the A19 was very different. It existed only south of the River Tyne and was a coastal route of single carriageway and relatively poor standard. Starting at South Shields it passed through Whitburn, Sunderland and Seaham, heading inland through Easington and then back out to the coast via Horden and onto Hartlepool. It then snaked its way through Billingham, Stockton, Eaglescliffe and Yarm. The improvements in our region towards the route we know today began at the Tyne Tunnel in 1967/8. The tunnel (£13.4m) was built with approach roads from the A1058 Newcastle to Tynemouth Coast Road (£6.5m) in the north and the A184 Gateshead to Sunderland Trunk Road (£3.5m) in the south.

  • St Francis of Assisi Parish Church, Ingleby Barwick
    St Francis of Assisi, Ingleby Barwick Parish Profile BARWICK WAY, INGLEBY BARWICK, STOCKTON-ON-TEES, TS17 0WD https://stfrancisib.org) 0 A message from the Rt Revd Paul Ferguson, Bishop of Whitby Thank you for your interest in the post of Vicar of Ingleby Barwick. Although Ingleby Barwick’s name reveals that there has been a settlement here for a thousand years, as you will see from the profile, today’s community is less than 50 years old, and still growing. There is a sense that it is continuing to establish its own social and civic identity, in which the role of the Church of England has a significant part to play — not least through the presence of our church primary and secondary academies. St Francis’, then, is the worshipping and serving hub for the whole community. That is reflected in the breadth of its style, at the core of which is the main Sunday eucharistic celebration. Alongside that well-established principle, the appointment of a Multiply minister (see the relevant page of the profile) has been a major step in diversifying our pattern of mission. The energy of St Francis’ worshipping life overflows into many other activities. Ingleby Barwick is an exciting place to be. There has been excellent strategic leadership during the time of its last incumbent, and scope for the parish — the largest by population in this archdeaconry — to move on further. If you come as our next vicar, you will find able lay leadership, a strong ethos of spiritual formation among worshippers, and potential to explore developments for the future.

  • Egglescliffe Conservation Area Appraisal
    Chapter CO5: Egglescliffe Conservation Area Appraisal Egglescliffe Conservation Area Page EG1 Plan of Egglescliffe Conservation Area showing listed buildings and areas covered by Article 4 Directions Egglescliffe Conservation Area Page EG2 General Overview of Egglescliffe Conservation Area. Egglescliffe Village is tucked away from many people down a ‘dead end’, and most are unfamiliar with its chocolate-box central green. This has been one of its greatest assets in recent times as it has largely escaped damaging modernisation and redevelopment, leaving behind an intact Georgian village. Egglescliffe is supposed to derive its name from Ecclesia Church-on-the- Cliffe, or, as it has been interpreted by those who claim an earlier origin, Church-by-the-Flood, being Celtic. Whatever the origin of the name, it must not be confused with the more recent development called Eaglescliffe. Historians believe that Egglescliffe was first established some time in the 11th Century as it was mentioned in the Domesday book, which makes it one of the oldest settlements in Teesside. The village layout is typical of many North Yorkshire rural communities where houses and shops were arranged around a central green space, and lesser buildings including farms located on the periphery. Egglescliffe 1895 It is likely that the site was chosen for its defensive position atop a rocky outcrop on a meander of the River Tees, which also happens to be the lowest crossing point at low tide. Over the years the trees on the green have matured and provide an attractive environment which, together with the pleasant buildings and the location tucked away from main roads, creates one of the most pleasant villages in the North East.
