When finalised and adopted it will replace the Darlington Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy (May 2011) and the saved policies of the Borough of Darlington Local Plan (1997, including adopted alterations 2001), and complete an up to date statutory development plan for the Borough. 1.0.2 All applications for development must, by law, be determined in accordance with the statutory development plan, unless there are material considerations that indicate otherwise. Figure 1.1 shows the documents that will make up the statutory development plan for Darlington when this document is adopted. The timetable for the remaining stages of the Local Plan is shown in Figure 1.2 Figure 1.1 Relationship of the Local Plan to other planning policy documents covering Darlington Borough 1.0.3 All the policies, proposals and site allocations are designed to address a range of specific issues, problems or challenges. Successful implementation of the policies and proposals in this document will contribute towards economic growth in Darlington and achieving sustainable development. There have been a number of preparation stages leading up to this Draft Plan and these are also indicated in Figure 1.2 Darlington Borough Council 6 Darlington Borough Draft Local Plan 2016-2036 Consultation Draft June 2018 1 INTRODUCTION Figure 1.2 Stages of Preparation of of the Local Plan 1.0.4 A Policies Map accompanies this document. It shows, on an OS base map, where each site allocation is, and where each policy or proposal applies. The Policies Map can be accessed on line via www.darlington.gov.uk/localplan. Printed extracts can be provided on request at a reasonable cost. 1.0.5 Consultation on this draft document provides another opportunity for the local community and other interested groups to influence the Local Plan before the Council produces a Proposed Submission Local Plan document that the authority considers ready for examination. The Proposed Submission Local Plan document will itself be the subject of representations prior to its submission to the Government for examination. 1.0.6 The Draft Local Plan has been refined and amended following feedback received at each of several consultation stages during its preparation. Darlington Borough Council Darlington Borough Draft Local Plan 2016-2036 Consultation Draft June 2018 7 INTRODUCTION 1 1.0.7 The independent examination of the Local Plan will test the soundness of the Plan. The examination will take the form of an informal hearing led by a Government appointed inspector. On completion of the hearing sessions the Inspector will consider all representations received on the publication stage and the discussions held during the hearing in preparing their report on the soundness of the Plan. 1.0.8 The elements of the test of soundness are set out in the government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), namely: Positively prepared – the plan should be based on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed development and infrastructure requirements, and be consistent with achieving sustainable development. Justified – the most appropriate strategy when considered against reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence. Effective – the plan should be deliverable over its period and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities. Consistent with national policy – the plan should enable the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the NPPF. 1.0.9 Comments can be submitted in a number of ways: On line at https://darlington-consult.objective.co.uk/portal By email to [email protected] By post/response form to Town Hall, Darlington, DL1 5QT. All comments and response forms should be received by: 5.00pm on: 2nd August 2018 1.0.10 A sustainability appraisal has also been prepared to support the Draft Local Plan. This is available on-line at https://darlington-consult.objective.co.uk/portal and on request by telephoning or emailing the planning policy team.

  • Parish Profile August 2019
    Parish Profile August 2019 In plurality with St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe and St. Mary’s, Piercebridge St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe All Saints’ Church, Blackwell St. Mary’s, Piercebridge Seeking to Grow God's Kingdom by growing the Church, growing as disciples and growing in service to the parish and beyond. 1 Dear Applicant, Welcome to our parish profile and thank you for taking the time to read it. Our aim is to give you a taste of our Christian Mission through an understanding of our two parishes and their churches. This parish profile brings together two individual yet adjoining parishes on the western fringe of Darlington. It covers the parishes of Blackwell, All Saints’ and Salutation and Coniscliffe, which comprises St Edwin’s and St Mary’s churches. The vacancy has arisen following the departure of our previous Vicar, David Railton, to a new post in the west of Scotland. We are now seeking to appoint a new Vicar to serve both parishes, the two benefices being held in plurality. Whilst each parish has its own individual characteristics, the congregations have much in common. Both have a commitment to the growth of the Church, their own growth as disciples and to service in their community. This commitment is demonstrated as a significant number of members of the combined congregations carry out some kind of voluntary work within their church, participate through the PCC committees and maintain their commitment to planned giving and stewardship. The parishes support a small number of part-time employees whose work underpins our mission to our local communities.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2011 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale Part of VC65
    Durham Rare Plant Register 2011 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2011, second edition. Improvements in the 2011 edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. One kilometre resolution maps for upland and coastal species. My thanks to Bob Ellis for advice on mapping. The ―County Scarce‖ species are now incorporated into the main text. Hieracium is now included. This edition is ―regionally aligned‖, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. There is now a site index. Cover picture—Dark Red Helleborine at Bishop Middleham Quarry, its premier British site. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust‘s ―Recorder" system. We also have a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, to carry out conservation projects to protect the rare species. The purpose of this document is to introduce the Rare Plant Register and to give an account of the information that it holds, and the species to be included.

  • Minerals and Waste Core Strategy
    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Core Strategy DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i ii 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. This 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. The separate Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with it, 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 within 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.

Thank you for referring the above local plan document for the Environment Agency to review. We have taken to the time to review the Proposed Submission Local Plan Document and the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) alongside other relevant supporting evidence documents, namely: Darlington Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (2019) We are making comments to the plan in accordance with paragraph 35 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to assess whether they have been prepared in accordance with legal and procedural requirements. Having reviewed the submission plan, we consider it to be sound. However, we have recommended the following changes below: Darlington Local Plan (Submission Document) We remain supportive of the vision for Darlington which included the overarching aim to protect and enhance the quality of Darlington’s built, natural and historic environment, and to use it positively to create great places. We are supportive of specific objective 5 and however would still provide a suggested rewording of clause d) to ‘Enhance the natural environment Mitigate flood risks through the provision of Sustainable Drainage Systems, Natural Flood Management and environmental and ecological improvement of the River Skerne and River Tees.’ This objective should be more aligned to water quality and the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. We are supportive of specific objective 6 and note the Council have included our previous comments for clause c).
