For example the surveys to pitch sport clubs were posted directly to the club secretary and were individualised to contain team and pitch information relevant to that club gathered from Sport England (clubs were then invited to amend that information if incorrect). The survey also contained a local map on which clubs could indicate other grounds that they might be prepared to play on as well as providing an opportunity to highlight any open space that they thought had potential for the development of new facilities. The community workshops provided an opportunity for clubs and parishes to raise their own club/parish specific issues but were primarily aimed at securing collective views on key issues for the various sports. As the meetings were arranged on a Community Sports Network basis the general findings will often apply to more than one Action Area Partnership. The results of the questionnaires which were returned from clubs in the Great Aycliffe & Middridge AAP are shown below. The table show the responses whilst the graph maps these responses in relation to specific pitches detailing those which are used most frequently and those which could accommodate extra provision. 13 Durham Playing Pitch Strategy Great Aycliffe & Middridge Area Action Partnership Profile In general the notes which accompanied the feedback maps detailed the following: • Newton Aycliffe Sports Club could accommodate 1 extra junior football pitch with increased investment • INEOS Sports Facilities could accommodate 1 extra mini football pitch although space is tight. It was suggested that further development could take place behind the council maintenance depot • Woodham Community College could accommodate a further 2 full-size and 3 junior football pitches with increased investment • Cumby Arms could provide a further 2 full-size pitches, but requires improved changing facilities • Horndale Park pitches are currently closed, but have potential to offer extra provision in the area. There is shared ownership of this site between Great Aycliffe Town Council and Durham County Council.

This local profile complements a county wide/strategic consultation report that provides an overview of findings from strategic stakeholders including Sport England, the individual sports’ national governing bodies, County Durham Sport, Durham University and relevant Durham County Council officers.

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion

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.

  • Viability Testing of Housing Allocations Within the County Durham Plan
    Viability testing of Housing Allocations within the County Durham Plan Completed on behalf of Durham County Council CP Viability Ltd Independent Property Experts Viability testing of Housing Allocations within the County Durham Plan CP Viability Ltd October 2018 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. CP Viability Ltd (‘CPV’) has been instructed by Durham County Council (‘the Council’) to undertake individual viability assessments of 41 housing allocations as identified within the ‘Preferred Options’ stage of the County Durham Plan. The main purpose of this exercise is to provide supporting evidence that the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (‘NPPF’) and Planning Practice Guidance (‘PPG’), as published in July 2018, have been met. 1.2. The 41 sites identified for the purposes of the study can be categorised as follows: 22 sites under the ownership of the Council. 1 site under the ownership of another Public Sector Body. 14 sites under private ownership. 4 sites in mixed ownership between public and private sector bodies. 1.3. The Council requires a detailed viability assessment, taking into account the specific circumstances of each site. These assessments are to be consistent with the methodology and the broad assumptions of the Council’s recent ‘Local Plan Viability Testing’ study, which tested the viability of the Council’s emerging policies (albeit taking into account the specific circumstances of each site). 1.4. In accordance with the RICS, prior to accepting this instruction we can confirm that we undertook a conflict of interest check. Having undertaken this review we are unaware of any conflict of interest that prevents CP Viability from undertaking this instruction.

  • 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.
