The work is normally carried out by a parish or town council on behalf of its local community. In our area there is no local council at present as we are ‘un- parished’. In order for the plan to be prepared, the County Council has enabled the setting up of the Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum. 1.2 The Forum has adopted the name ‘Our Neighbourhood’ for the area covered by the Plan, which is shown on Map 1 on page 4 (http://npf.durhamcity.org.uk/the-plan/maps/). It has taken nearly three years to prepare and has provided the opportunity for continuous consultation throughout. It is now time to find out what people who live and work in the area, and those who visit, think of the policies and proposals in this draft Plan. 1.3 There are four matters to be borne in mind when assessing the content of this draft Plan: 1. Its policies, when agreed, will have statutory force, i.e. they will be relevant in the consideration of planning applications by the County Council, and they will need to be in compliance with the current adopted development plan, which is the saved policies of the City of Durham Local Plan; 2. Quite early in the lifetime of our Neighbourhood Plan a new local plan - the County Durham Plan - will be adopted. Our policies will then need to be reviewed, and if necessary changed, to bring them into compliance with this new County Durham Plan. We will seek to future-proof our Neighbourhood Plan by having regard to the emerging County Plan; 3. The Plan should be read as a whole - the planning policies all relate to one another even though they appear under different themes, so common aspects only appear in one policy to avoid repetition; 4. Our Neighbourhood Plan presents an opportunity go beyond the planning policies in identifying the actions needed by statutory, community and other bodies to achieve the vision and objectives of the plan. 1.4 We hope that many people will take the opportunity to contribute to making our Neighbourhood Plan one which is effective and truly representative of the wishes of local people for a sustainable future for this beautiful and historic city. © Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2017 1 Durham City Neighbourhood Draft Plan for Public Consultation THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS LEFT DELIBERATELY BLANK © Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2017 2 Durham City Neighbourhood Draft Plan for Public Consultation CHAPTER 2: INTRODUCTION 2.1 HISTORY AND CONTEXT 2.1 Durham City has been a highly significant place in County Durham, the North East region and the country for over 1,000 years as the home of Durham Cathedral, and for over 180 years of the University of Durham. Under the 1974 reorganisation of local government in England Durham City became the county town of a County Durham much reduced in population although increased in area. This new county was administered by a county council and eight (later seven) district councils. This system was abandoned in 2009 when the county and district councils including the City of Durham Council were abolished to be replaced by a single ‘county unitary authority’. 2.2 The Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum started as a group of volunteers, people who lived, worked or had businesses in the City. They were concerned about the future of the City and saw the potential in the Localism Act which introduced new rights and powers which local communities can use to shape and permit additional new development. In areas with a Town or Parish Council, this work is done by those bodies. Elsewhere a Neighbourhood Planning Forum can be set up. Most of Durham City is not parished and therefore there is at present no local council to undertake the work of preparing a neighbourhood plan. The group of volunteers therefore applied to Durham County Council to set up a Neighbourhood Planning Forum and this was approved by the Council on 16 January 2014. The volunteers then became part of the membership of the Forum. In the Forum's priority consultation (Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2015) very strong views were received from the public about planning and planning decisions. The Forum takes this as a clear message to deliver a plan which has the vision and the policies to ensure the protection of the fabric of the City and the wellbeing of the people who live, work and visit it. 2.3 The area covered by the Neighbourhood Plan is not the whole urban area of Durham City. It is for parish and town councils to prepare neighbourhood plans if desired, and there are parish councils for the Belmont and Framwellgate Moor parts of the City. Although neither is preparing a neighbourhood plan at present, it was felt that the issues that might be most important in those areas are different from the issues facing the historic core of the City. Similarly, the un-parished Gilesgate and Newton Hall areas have their own distinct histories and issues meriting particular attention through a local neighbourhood plan if that is the wish of the Gilesgate or Newton Hall residents and businesses. 2.4 Accordingly, the area covered by the Neighbourhood Planning Forum - 'Our Neighbourhood' - comprises the electoral divisions of Nevilles Cross; Elvet & Gilesgate; and the part of Durham South on the city side of the River Wear, as shown on Map 1 below (http://npf.durhamcity.org.uk/the-plan/maps/). Although ‘Our Neighbourhood’ is only part of the built-up area of the city, it does contain the World Heritage Site, the city centre, the University, the hospital, the two conservation areas and the main bus and rail stations. © Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2017 3 Durham City Neighbourhood Draft Plan for Public Consultation It is therefore an important part of the city and needs a progressive and imaginative neighbourhood plan. Map 1: Map of Our Neighbourhood © Durham City Neighbourhood Planning Forum, 2017 4 Durham City Neighbourhood Draft Plan for Public Consultation 2.2 CHALLENGES 2.5 In the 1960s major developments such as the new County Hall, Police Headquarters, Passport and National Savings offices brought very welcome extra employment opportunities to the City, especially in the context of the subsequent loss of nearly all of County Durham's traditional coal, steel, railway, and heavy engineering industries.

  • Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City Carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations
    Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations (No Parishing Arrangements) On 26 October 2011, the County Council approved terms of reference for the conduct of a Community Governance Review in the area of Durham City. The terms of reference were published on 1 November and included the terms of the petition which had been received from residents requesting the establishment of a town council. Although the petition was not compliant with the legislation the Council decided to undertake the review. On 21 st March 2012, the Council approved Draft Recommendations for a second period of consultation with Durham. This draft can be accessed at www.durham.gov.uk/communitygovernance On 25 July 2012, the Council approved a further consultation of the areas of Aykley Vale, Priory Road and Dryburn Park to request whether the residents of these areas would prefer to be either simply parished, or to join Framwellgate Moor Parish Council. The Review The Council is carried out this review under the Local Government Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (‘the Act’). It was known to the Council that there was a wish in the area by some residents to have the review with a view to establishing parish council arrangements. The review was however delayed whilst the Council was waiting for the Local Government Boundary Commission for England recommendations in relation to electoral arrangements for County Durham, following Local Government Reorganisation in 2009. The review was commenced before final recommendations were published by the Boundary Commission in order to enable the Council to put in place any electoral arrangements for any parish council established by the review in time for the County Council elections on 2 May 2013.

    Press Release February 2016 LOUD! The Koestler Exhibition for the North East opens at BALTIC and The Gallery at Gateshead Central Library BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and The Gallery at Gateshead Central Library have come together with the Koestler Trust for a remarkable project which will display over 90 paintings, drawings, poems and other artworks from prisons, secure hospitals, secure children’s homes and probation services from across the North East of England. The exhibition, LOUD! has been curated by a group of young people, aged 12 to 16, from Gateshead Behaviour Support Service, a service for young people excluded, or self-excluded, from mainstream schools. The two presentations are made up of different artworks but run simultaneously from 5 February to 12 March 2016 at Quay Gallery, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and The Gallery, Gateshead Central Library. During the project the group worked alongside artist Paul Merrick and met with curators and technicians to support them in curating LOUD! The works have been selected from over 400 entries from the North East to the 2015 Koestler Awards – a charitable scheme which has been run for over 50 years by the UK’s best known prison arts charity to promote artistic achievement in the criminal justice system and secure sectors. Sally Taylor, Chief Executive, Koestler Trust said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with BALTIC and The Gallery at Gateshead Central Library to showcase the fantastic artwork and writing from prisons and hospitals in the region. The young curators from Gateshead Behaviour Support Service have put together an insightful, challenging and thought provoking display that we hope the public enjoy.” The paintings and drawings in the exhibition cover a wide range of themes including home, escapism, freedom and conflict.
