    The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway: Historic Environment Audit Appendix 2. West Auckland to Shildon. October 2016 Archaeo-Environment for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton Council. The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway: Historic Environment Audit: West Auckland to Shildon. Introduction This report is one of a series covering the length of the 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway. It results from a programme of fieldwork and desk based research carried out between October 2015 and March 2016 by Archaeo-Environment and local community groups, in particular the Friends of the 1825 S&DR. This appendix covers the second 5.1km (3.17 miles) stretch between the Gaunless Accommodation Bridge at West Auckland and Shildon (figure 1). It outlines what survives and what has been lost starting at the north and heading south east to Shildon. It outlines the gaps in our knowledge requiring further research and the major management issues needing action. It highlights opportunities for improved access to the line and for improved conservation, management and interpretation so that the S&DR is a visitor destination of national and international importance. © Crown copyright 2016.

  • Heritage Statement
    HERITAGE STATEMENT Project: 14 Rose Lane Haughton le Skerne Client: Mr and Mrs Horton Our Ref: AH/123 Date: April 2021 1. Introduction This Heritage Statement has been produced on behalf of Mr and Mrs Horton in relation to an application for full Planning Permission for a erection of a an extension to existing rear ground floor extension with first floor extension above. The purpose of this statement is to demonstrate that consideration has been given to the impact of the proposed changes to the nearby heritage assets and the impact of the proposed development on the overall character and appearance of the surrounding area. 2. Site Location The property is situated in the village of Haughton Le Skerne on a road named Rose Lane.Haughton is a settlement less than one and half miles north east of Darlington town centre. As its name suggests it is located on the River Skerne, lying just north of it with the low-lying and flood-prone meadows still forming a divide between Darlington and Haughton-le-Skerne. The B6279 (Haughton Road, then Stockton Road) runs through the village, named Haughton Green in the centre of the village as it passes the Village Green. This road joins the A1150 and ultimately the A66 east towards Teesside. To the west Haughton Green becomes Salters Lane South past St Andrew’s Church. Both Haughton Green and the surrounding undeveloped greenspace to the south and east play a key part in characterising the area’s setting 3. History and Context The property comprises the main semi detached dwelling house with a single storey rear extension which forms the bathroom.

Infrastructure planning - legislative, policy and wider context 5 4. Methodology 8 5. Scoping 9 6. Baseline infrastructure assessments 12 7. Infrastructure delivery schedule 45 Appendix A Housing allocations 59 Appendix B Mobile telecommunications sites in Middlesbrough 61 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Produced in line with national planning policy (see paragraphs 3.2 - 3.4 for more details), this Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) provides details of infrastructure needed to support future growth as a result of the Local Plan - Housing, including the type, timing and potential costs of infrastructure. 1.2 The IDP is intended to be a 'living' document, with its content monitored on a regular basis (in all likelihood alongside the Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report [AMR]) and updated as appropriate, in order to reflect changing circumstances, including when any new Local Development Documents (LDDs) are produced as part of the overarching Local Plan. To remain up-to-date, a flow of information from (internal [i.e. Council) and external) service providers to the Planning Policy team will be required on a regular basis. 1.3 The IDP does not include every infrastructure project planned in Middlesbrough or provide a list of planning obligations; it only includes those that will help to deliver the development (i.e. housing) proposed by the Local Plan - Housing or contribute towards the creation of sustainable communities. It does, however, identify areas where gaps in provision exist or are likely to exist over the plan period.
