In December 2010 the County Planning Committee refused planning permission for the erection of 60 dwellings as an enabling scheme to bring about the restoration of Hamsterley Hall as a single dwelling. The scheme was subsequently dismissed on appeal in June 2012, following a public inquiry. 2. Whilst the Inspector found that scheme would secure the restoration and future of the heritage asset which is a key public benefit, and that it would also secure associated heritage assets within the estate, and would deliver some other community benefits, she was not satisfied that the proposed housing would not cause material harm to the setting of Hamsterley Hall and associated listed buildings, or harm to the landscape character of the area in which they stand. 3. Furthermore, the Inspector was not satisfied that the amount of enabling development proposed was the minimum necessary to secure the future of Hamsterley Hall. The Inspector further considered that issues of sustainability may be tempered in enabling cases where a scheme is considered to be otherwise acceptable. In performing the balancing exercise required it was concluded that the benefits of the Hall’s restoration did not outweigh the identified disbenefits. Page 1 4. The applications which are subject of this report therefore comprise of a revised scheme for a reduced number of dwellings with a consequent reduction in the scope of the works to Hamsterley Hall itself and its wider estate. Site 5. The application site essentially comprises of two parts of the wider Hamsterley Hall Estate, which lies to the south of Hamsterley Mill. The first part of the application site being the Hall itself, which is a Grade II* Listed Building, originally dating from the 17th century. The second part of the application site relates to an area of open agricultural land situated to the north of the Hall, and to the south of Hamsterley Mill. 6. The Hall is approached past the Old Lodge, through Grade II Listed gates off the B6310 Hamsterley Mill to Burnopfield road just to the north of the Hamsterley Mill housing estate and west of Parklands. The estate track, also a public byway, extends past pasture fields to the west and woodland to the east for about ¾ mile where it forks just after the Handley Cross Bridge, itself a Grade II Listed structure, named by the former owner Robert Surtees, an 18 th century novelist. The byway continues with paths leading into the surrounding woodland extending down to the Pont Burn, where the Hall drive then forks away, up to the formal gardens at the front of the Hall. This comprises of a balustrade front lawn, with cupola, pinnacle, gate piers, gate and a cistern all individually Listed as Grade II. 7. To the south of the Hall are stone stables and modern workshop buildings and paddock. The stable and workshops were granted planning permission (CMA/1/83) for their conversion into residential dwellings in 2013, and these works are nearing completion, although they are not yet occupied. Extensive ancient woodland borders the 22 acre surrounding parkland, comprising, streams, rough grass, pasture and mature trees. An abandoned walled garden is located to the north east surrounded by woodland, although this does not form part of the proposals. The gardens around the Hall retain elements of the main phases of their development, including the 18th century woodland, parkland setting, formal garden and re-routeing of the Hall drive. 8. As early as the 14th century a manor house is thought to have occupied the site. The following centuries brought change to the built form. Hamsterley Hall itself has been in continuous use as a dwelling since the 17th century. In the 18 th century the Hall was remodelled with the addition of a new south front. Henry Swinburn, a travel writer, extended it in 1765. Into the 20th century Lord Gort added his ‘architectural embellishments’ to the building and ‘follys or historic architectural fragments’ collected within the formal front gardens that came from, for instance, the Houses of Parliament which changed the house into a museum piece. At this time the estate became known locally as ‘the Gort Estate’. The accumulation of its history and architecture present a significant building and unique house in parkland setting which today is of significant intrinsic interest. 9. During the 1950s and 60s the Hamsterley Mill housing estate was developed on part of the country estate. Although (partly) occupied until 2006 as a family residence, by the 1960s the house was in a state of disrepair, particularly the service wings and bothy. The former owners purchased the property from the Lord Gort Estate in the late 1970s and occupied the principal rooms. A limited number of repair works were undertaken during this ownership, whilst stables, outbuildings and workshops were constructed for use in association with a joinery business. 10. The Hall itself is in a significant state of disrepair, with a large part of the Hall having been the subject of a controlled demolition in 2013 following a significant collapse. As such, having previously reflected the substantial alterations and extensions Page 2 undertaken in the 18 th and 19th centuries, the westernmost range has now been lost. Also forming part of the site is a partially collapsed Bothy building which was attached to the section of the Hall that was recently demolished. The Hall is a rare example of Georgian Gothic architecture, and has been on English Heritage’s Heritage at Risk Register since 2010. 11. Partly due to the deterioration of the building and the significant restoration costs the then owners put the property on the market in 2005. The present owners purchased a large proportion of the remaining estate in 2007. 12. Since the time of the previous application and subsequent appeal, the condition of the Hall has continued to deteriorate. Whilst steps have been taken to stabilise the structure using an internal scaffold system, the rearmost part of the building suffered a major collapse, and was the subject of controlled demolition to ensure that any further collapse did not undermine the attached bothy or central section of the Hall.

    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.
