vision, objectives and policies to ensure the Parish of Great Aycliffe maintains its uniqueness over the period 2016 to 2036. Our vision is - “To make Great Aycliffe a vibrant community the Neighbourhood Plan will seek to enhance the natural environment, support and encourage high quality housing, local jobs and improved retail and leisure facilities in a healthy, green and attractive town” The Great Aycliffe Neighbourhood Plan has been drawn up by a Steering Group and Thematic Groups made up of Town Councillors and local residents, working under the guidance of Great Aycliffe Town Council which is the designated body for the plan area and provided the funding and support to enable the plan to go ahead. This Neighbourhood Plan has been reviewed by residents and key stakeholders through an extensive consultation process. All comments and suggestions received as part of this consultation will be carefully considered and if viable and/or suitable the Neighbourhood Plan will be amended accordingly. The Neighbourhood Plan sets down a series of planning policies which, once adopted by means of a parish referendum, will ultimately form part of County Durham’s wider statutory development plan when it has been adopted. The Neighbourhood Plan must go to an Independent Examination and will finally be subjected to a local parish referendum requiring a majority “yes” vote of all those voting in the referendum for it to be accepted. In the event of a “yes” vote, Durham County Council will proceed to “make” the Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish of Great Aycliffe. It is intended that the policies will be reviewed every 5 years to monitor the cumulative effects of the policies and, if necessary, make changes to keep them up to date and relevant. This will be undertaken in conjunction with the Planning Authority, Durham County Council. The objectives our planning policies are aiming to achieve are: Environment Objective 1 To protect and retain the traditional green areas, open spaces and environment for the community. Objective 2 To alleviate existing,

  • 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.

  • Decision 2021-00270697 – Procurement Report for the Provision of a National Driver Offender Re-Training Scheme
    Reference No: 2021-00270697 THE POLICE & CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR CLEVELAND DECISION RECORD FORM REQUEST: For PCC approval. Title: Procurement Report for the provision of a National Driver Offender Re-Training Scheme (NDORS) revision - Update Executive Summary: Further to decision record number 2021 – 00270567 please see below updated decision to reflect concerns raised during the Alcatel period. Attendance on an NDORS Scheme is offered to members of the public (the Client) who would benefit from attending a driver education course, following Police intervention. The Client may be offered the opportunity to attend a course, often as a voluntary alternative to their offence being dealt with through the Criminal Justice System. The Scheme provides the Client with relevant re-training to enable them to improve their attitudes, driving skills and road awareness with the outcome of improving road safety. On 1st September 2014 a joint procurement exercise, led by Durham Police Procurement, was undertaken to identify one supplier to provide NDORS courses required for the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Cleveland (OPCC) and the Office of the Durham Police Crime and Victims’ Commissioner (ODPCVC) across the counties of Cleveland, Durham and the Borough of Darlington. This contract was awarded to Hartlepool Borough Council for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years. As a result of internal reviews on service delivery and subsequently the Covid-19 Pandemic, the current contract was extended to 31st March 2021 to enable a full and competitive tender process to be carried out. A decision was made to ensure continuity of service to award the new contract for a period of 5 years with a further 2-year extension available.

  • 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.
