Planning Applications (Director of Regeneration and Neighbourhoods) Number: H/2016/0487 Applicant: MR D STONEHOUSE CLIFTON AVENUE HARTLEPOOL Agent: MR D STONEHOUSE 25 CLIFTON AVENUE HARTLEPOOL Date received: 01/12/2016 Development: Erection of replacement garage to side, single storey side/rear extension, single storey rear extension, installation of replacement windows (part retrospective) and erection of boundary wall and replacement roof (retrospective) (Demolition of existing garage) Location: 25 CLIFTON AVENUE HARTLEPOOL The applicant, Mr Stonehouse, urged the Committee to approve the retrospective application. He acknowledged that the bricks used on the new boundary wall were of a slightly different shade of red but an exact replica had been difficult to source. He felt that the changes had enhanced the appearance of the property with little effect on its status as a conservation area. A member requested that a site visit be undertaken but this was rejected by members. Members were happy to approve the application as they felt that the replacement windows were virtually identical to those previously in situ and the boundary wall was in keeping with other houses in the area. However dissatisfaction was expressed regarding the retrospective status of the application. Members approved the application unanimously. Decision: Planning Permission Approved CONDITIONS AND REASONS OR REASONS FOR REFUSAL 1. The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following plans and details; location plan at a scale of 1;250 (title number DU32109) and 'garden wall measurements' plan, both date received by the Local Planning Authority on 3rd November 2016 and plan 'proposed garage + side extension' drawing at 1;100 scale, date received by the Local Planning Authority on 1st December 2016.

  • Cumbria Classified Roads
    Cumbria Classified (A,B & C) Roads - Published January 2021 • The list has been prepared using the available information from records compiled by the County Council and is correct to the best of our knowledge. It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.

Reductions in central government funding over the past four years have meant we have had to find more than £4.4m of savings from our budget since 2010. Achieving these savings has meant making significant changes to how we deliver our service. However, so far, we have been Cllr Michele Hodgson, able to do this without increasing risk in local communities. Chair, County Durham and Looking ahead, the next four years are likely to be even more Darlington Fire and Rescue challenging as we will need to find a further £3.044m of savings to meet Authority the expected reductions in government funding. The options we have available to balance the budget for the fire and rescue service will be increasingly difficult to implement meaning we need to think differently about how we deliver services across County Durham and the Borough of Darlington.

  • Rural Masterplanning HOUGHTON March 2014 Page 1
    Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning HOUGHTON HOUGHTON Figure 1: Location of Houghton March 2014 Page 1 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning HOUGHTON Qualitative descriptions of: Strategic position Houghton is a commuter village approximately 2.5 miles north east of Carlisle. The M6 motorway sweeps round close to the northern edge of the settlement. Houghton is accessed from the north via a bridge over the motorway linking it to the A689, Junction 44 of the M6 being 0.9 mile from this point. The C1012 road through the village runs roughly north-south linking the A689 (to Brampton) and the B6264 runs to the A7 at Stanwix Bank. In terms of providing a suitable location for people to live and access Carlisle (by road or public transport) or places north via the motorway, Houghton is in a very convenient position. There is no railway line. The alignment of Hadrian’s Wall passes immediately south of the settlement and there are two mile castles and Drawdykes castle. Historically therefore the positioning of the mile castles would have had strategic significance. It is the largest settlement in the civil parish of Stanwix Rural. General description of settlement Houghton is a commuter village. It has a sub post office/grocers shop, a hairdresser, a village hall, a primary school, a day nursery and St. John's Church. It also has a 2nd hand furniture shop. The village green forms the focus of the settlement, providing a strong sense of place and an equally strong rural character although the area in the vicinity of the shop does suffer significant parking congestion at school start and finish times.
