Planning Services COMMITTEE REPORT APPLICATION DETAILS APPLICATION NO: DM/14/00519/MIN Reclamation of former colliery spoil mound to extract coal FULL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION: spoil, reprofiling of mound on completion of works and landscaping works. NAME OF APPLICANT: Hargreaves Surface Mining Ltd ADDRESS: Former Colliery Spoil Heap, Hesleden, Durham ELECTORAL DIVISION: Blackhalls Chris Shields, Senior Planning Officer CASE OFFICER: 03000 261394, [email protected] DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND PROPOSALS The Site 1. The village of Hesleden is located south of the B1281 Road between the A19 to the west and the A1086 Road to the east. The former Castle Eden Colliery and associated spoil heap lie adjacent to the village, immediately south of the Haswell to Hart Railway Path, now part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network. This was once a mineral railway line serving various collieries in East Durham and finally closed in 1980. The site is on the northern edge of Hesleden Dene, which links with Nesbitt Dene to become Crimdon Dene, on the northern outskirts of Hartlepool. 2. The village of Castle Eden lies approximately 1 kilometre to the west; the A19 is approximately 1 kilometre further west again and the settlement of Blackhall Rocks lies three kilometres to the north east. 3. The application site is accessed via Gray Avenue, which in turn, leads to the B1281 Road. At the corner of Gray Avenue, where it becomes Front Street, an unmetalled track leads to the site. This track, which forms part of Footpath No.24 (Monk Hesleden Parish), also serves a number of smallholdings, allotments and associated buildings in different ownerships in close proximity to the site. -

Introduction Welcome to Durham’s Heritage Coastal Footpath, an 11 mile walking route following the England Coast Path National Trail. Discover and explore spectacular grasslands, superb coastal denes and uncover the rich heritage that has shaped this coastline into a unique and fascinating place to be. Why is it so special? Durham’s Coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of Magnesian Limestone Coastal Grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. The Northern Brown Argus butterfly can be found amongst these grasslands in the summer months and flowers such as orchids, Bloody Cranesbill, Thrift, Birds’ Eye Primrose and Common Rock Rose are a characteristic sight on the grassy cliff tops. The sound of Skylarks and Lapwings in the summer are a musical treat not to be missed. The coastal denes created at the end of the last ice age support some of the most natural woodland in North East England and provide a valuable habitat for mammals such as deer, foxes, badgers and bats. -

The oozes became limestone, the sands, gravels and muds became shale and sandstone, and the forests became coal. Limestone and sandstone are resistant to erosion, whereas the softer shales wear away more easily. This contrast has produced the terraced hillsides which are characteristic of the whole area and the hard limestone outcrops form waterfalls created by the erosion. area designated for it’s Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also a UNESCO Global Geopark.

April 2020 Railfuture from the North East Bulletin
News and Views about Railways in the North East of England Welcome to the April 2020 RailFuture From the North East Bulletin. This edition is, Editor’s because of the current problems in getting it printed and distributed, only Chair available electronically. It is being emailed to members and will be on our website. We’ve added a number of links to items either on the Railfuture Website or to websites run by other local rail groups – all of these will offer more detail than we can provide in this newsletter. These links are embedded in the text so if you see something that looks like this, and this link takes you to the NE Home page on the Railfuture Website, just click and you will be transported to the appropriate page on the internet. A message from the Branch Chair I find myself writing this from a position of ‘Lockdown’ at home. I, together with the rest of the committee, hope that you are all managing to steer clear of the horrid Covid-19 virus. The current situation means, of course, that we have had to cancel our branch AGM on 25 April, we don’t know whether the current restrictions on meeting will still be in place by then, but we have to assume that they, or something very similar, will. One further change to report is that Tony Walker has chosen to stand down as editor of this Bulletin. Tony has been a stalwart of the branch committee for many years and has given freely of his time over many aspects of our activities. -

Hackworth Family Archive
Hackworth Family Archive A cataloguing project made possible by the National Cataloguing Grants Programme for Archives Science Museum Group 1 Description of Entire Archive: HACK (fonds level description) Title Hackworth Family Archive Fonds reference code GB 0756 HACK Dates 1810’s-1980’s Extent & Medium of the unit of the 1036 letters with accompanying letters and associated documents, 151 pieces of printed material and printed images, unit of description 13 volumes, 6 drawings, 4 large items Name of creator s Hackworth Family Administrative/Biographical Hackworth, Timothy (b 1786 – d 1850), Railway Engineer was an early railway pioneer who worked for the Stockton History and Darlington Railway Company and had his own engineering works Soho Works, in Shildon, County Durham. He married and had eight children and was a converted Wesleyan Methodist. He manufactured and designed locomotives and other engines and worked with other significant railway individuals of the time, for example George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for manufacturing the first locomotive for Russia and British North America. It has been debated historically up to the present day whether Hackworth gained enough recognition for his work. Proponents of Hackworth have suggested that he invented of the ‘blast pipe’ which led to the success of locomotives over other forms of rail transport. His sons other relatives went on to be engineers. His eldest son, John Wesley Hackworth did a lot of work to promote his fathers memory after he died. His daughters, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and ancestors to this day have worked to try and gain him a prominent place in railway history. -

They will achieve this by: Detailed analysis of environmental qualities and issues, taking into consideration studies carried out by the Council and its partners, such as the Environment Agency, Natural England and neighbouring authorities Identification of priorities and mitigation/ amelioration measures, either as general objectives or, where appropriate, as specific projects Discussion of planned development in the County in the period covered by the forthcoming County Durham Plan (until 2030); suggesting, for each allocated development site, how green infrastructure might be incorporated within the site, and what improvements should be made to the quantity, quality and management of green infrastructure in the area. Structure of the Implementation Plans 1.2 Because the County is large and diverse, some form of breakdown is required in order to make meaningful locationally-specific recommendations. -

Reptile Atlas of North-East England 2016
Reptile Atlas of North-East England. 2016 Produced by J L Durkin MSc. MIEEM [email protected] www.durhamnature.co.uk Introduction to the atlas, credits, conventions. This is the fourth edition of the Atlas in this format, replacing the earlier editions of 2008. 2010 and 2013. The species covered are the four native reptile species found in this region of England; Grass Snake, Adder, Slowworm and Common or Viviparous Lizard. Sand Lizard has been introduced several times in the past, to the Northumberland and Teesmouth dunes, but appears not to survive. Sea Turtles netted offshore are covered. “Escapes” of more exotic species are regularly recorded, mainly Red-eared Terrapins. Escaped or released snakes include Dice Snakes, Tessellated Snakes, King Snakes, Indian Pythons and out-of-place Adders. The exotics are sometimes reported as native species, usually as Grass Snakes. The area covered is North-East England, the modern counties of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham and Tees Valley, plus the part of North Yorkshire adjacent to Tees Valley. The data is sparser in north Northumberland, Teesdale south of the Tees and in Yorkshire. The records. All available records, about 2700, have been considered and compiled, from “Recorder”, from “The Record Pool”, from the Durham BAP 2005 survey and from many individuals’ records. Keith Cunningham has processed much of the data that is held on Recorder. The North Pennines AONB Partnership’s Wildwatch Project has contributed many records from previously less recorded areas. A large number of people have recorded the North-east’s reptiles, the most prolific recorder being Gordon Simpson.
