Introduction 1.1 This Green Infrastructure Delivery Plan sets out priority projects under the Borough’s Green Infrastructure Strategy. It also delivers against wider objectives set out in the Council Plan 2019-22, the Borough’s Economic Strategy and Growth Plan, and adopted Local Plan. 1.2 Green infrastructure is an inter-connected, multifunctional network of open spaces and other environmental assets. Through the development and sustainable management of the Borough’s green infrastructure the plan aims to deliver a wide range of economic, social, health and environmental benefits. 1.3 The majority of projects identified in the plan will be implemented by Stockton Borough Council with the support and involvement of a range of partners, although it also includes schemes which could be implemented by third parties. A variety of funding and delivery mechanisms will be utilised including Section 106 agreements. 1.4 The last major revision of the Delivery Plan was completed in April 2018, informed in part by the 2017 Open Space Assessment (part of the evidence base review for the Local Plan1). This current version has been subject to minor amendments, taking account of projects completed during 2018- 19 and emerging strategic priorities. 1.5 Implementation of the Delivery Plan is managed and monitored through an officer steering group, under the Council’s Delivery Framework. The group also oversees the on-going review and revision of the plan. 1 Knight, Kavanagh & Page (2017) Stockton-on-Tees Open Space Assessment - 3 - 2. Strategic priorities 2019-22 2.1 All projects and actions contribute towards one of more of the ten strategic objectives set out in the Green Infrastructure Strategy. However, given that the Strategy was published in 2011, and identified a very broad range of aspirations, the following priorities have been identified for the period to 2022. These reflect the Council’s corporate objectives as set out in the Council Plan 2019-22, the Borough’s Economic Strategy and Growth Plan and other key documents. 2.2 The Plan also recognises the challenges the Council faces due to reductions to local authority and other public sector budgets. This has significant resource implications for the future development and management of green infrastructure and is an important consideration when identifying and prioritising specific projects. Green Infrastructure Current priorities under this plan Strategy objectives Promoting regeneration Develop and manage multi-functional green infrastructure in ways which will improve the image of the Borough and/or directly support sustainable economic growth.

This will help to improve community connectivity and maximise the social, health and economic value of the Borough’s green infrastructure. - 4 - 3. About the plan Themes 3.1 Objectives, projects and proposals are set out under the following themes, addressing the broad priorities set out in chapter 2: • Countryside sites / natural environment (chapter 5): country parks, nature reserves and natural assets/habitats e.g. woodlands, meadows, wetlands, ponds, rivers and streams. • Urban parks and amenity green space (chapter 6): town parks, recreation grounds and amenity green spaces. • Play and informal sport (chapter 7): play areas and informal sport facilities such as skate parks and multi-use games areas. • Community food (chapter 8): allotments, community gardens and orchards. • Access (chapter 9): footpaths, bridleways and cycleways, and facilities that support the recreational use of the River Tees. • Cemeteries (chapter 10): including formal cemetery and woodland burial provision. 3.2 The previous version of this plan included an ‘Information and management’ theme. This included projects and activities which help to deliver sustainable management of green infrastructure and encourage community use and participation. However, it is proposed that issues relating to the management of the Borough’s green infrastructure will be addressed through a separate plan to be developed during 2019/20. Strategic and local green infrastructure 3.3 The Delivery Plan incorporates a broad range of projects which will develop both the Borough’s ‘strategic’ and ‘local’ green infrastructure. 3.4 The Stockton-on-Tees Green Infrastructure Strategy identifies an indicative network of primary and secondary green infrastructure corridors, and many of the projects included within the plan seek to enhance and develop sites, access routes and river corridors within this network (Figure 1). Most of these can be viewed as ‘strategic projects’ which will generally deliver economic, environmental, social and health benefits at the Borough or district scale. 3.5 In addition the Delivery Plan identifies several projects which are of local significance. These ‘local projects’ are generally small-scale schemes and are identified on the basis of the areas mapped in Figure 2. These correspond to the ‘analysis areas’ used for the Open Space Assessment (2017): • Billingham • Eaglescliffe • Ingleby Barwick • Rural • Stockton • Thornaby • Wynyard • Yarm - 5 - Figure 1: Strategic green infrastructure network - 6 - Figure 2: Project areas / Open Space Assessment analysis areas Green infrastructure delivered through new development 3.6 New or enhanced green infrastructure is often delivered through new development, so this plan needs to be considered in conjunction with the policies and proposals set out in the adopted Local Plan 2019. The Key Diagram shown in Figure 3 provides a geographic representation of the broad locations of strategic developments and land-uses identified in Local Plan, while the Plan itself and policies maps can be accessed via this link: https://www.stockton.gov.uk/economic-regeneration-and-transport/planning-policy/development-plan/ - 7 - Figure 3: Strategic developments and land-uses identified in Local Plan - 8 - Implementing and updating the plan 3.7 Implementation of the Delivery Plan will be managed and monitored through an officer steering group, under the Council’s Delivery Framework. Under the Economic Growth Plan 2017-20 the Council has stated that by 2020 it will aim to deliver new or enhanced green infrastructure to over 30 sites across the Borough. 3.8 A number of factors are taken into consideration before any proposals reach full implementation stage, e.g. • What technical feasibility and detailed design work is required? • What planning or other consents may be required? • Who needs to be consulted on the proposals? Most schemes will require some element of consultation, e.g. ward councillors, local residents, community organisations, local authority officers and partner organisations. These individuals and groups may also take on an active role in project development, with the support and guidance of the Council and other agencies as appropriate. • Would

  • THE NEW TEES CROSSING: Unlocking the Future Prosperity of Tees Valley
    9 THE NEW TEES CROSSING: Unlocking the Future Prosperity of Tees Valley MARCH 201 Public Consultation Brochure FOREWORD THE STORY SO FAR ees Valley Combined Authority has ambitious plans to grow the local economy. By 2026 we want to create 25,000 new jobs and build 23,000 new homes. For all of this to happen we need a first-class transport system. T Transformational improvements to the road network are critical to help us achieve our vision to provide a high-quality, quick, affordable, reliable, integrated and safe transport network for people and freight to move within, to and from Tees Valley. The existing Tees Viaduct carries the A19 Trunk Road and suffers severe congestion at peak times. This daily congestion is frustrating for motorists and negatively impacts local businesses. To boost access to strategically important sites, and to ease congestion, we need to provide a new strategic road crossing of the River Tees. Providing a New Tees Crossing is therefore one of our main transport priorities for the region. It is seen as essential to facilitate growth and is supported and endorsed by Transport for the North. We have been developing and refining our plans since work started on the New Tees Crossing scheme in 2015. The timeline below shows the progress so far In this brochure we explain our proposed options for a New Tees Crossing. We also provide details of how you can give us your feedback during our public consultation period. COUNCILLOR STEPHEN HARKER COMBINED AUTHORITY PORTFOLIO LEAD FOR TRANSPORT LEADER OF DARLINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL 2015/16 — A specialist group was established to 2017 — Following detailed appraisal of the two investigate the potential for a New Tees options, the Newport Bridge option was Crossing.
