Appendix 2 – Table of All Written Consultation Responses Received Appendix 2 – Table of all written consultation responses received Questionnaire comments regarding the draft Strategic Transport Plan vision Questionnaire comments regarding the draft Strategic Transport Plan vision Rather motherhood and apple pie in style and content A bus station for Darlington, it really is time DBC were made to do something, they have continuously sold off land that would have been suitable, Darlington town centre is a nightmare to visit with so many buses arriving at the same time to unload and collect passengers.... There doesn't appear to be any major / specific plans or projects relating to Hartlepool. This has to happen before 2029. As usual the north east is always left behind - the rail links between Stockton, Middlesbrough, and Newcastle are shocking - more services needed. It’s motherhood and apple pie! I’d like to see private car use reduced, public transport users rewarded (say by a council tax rebate for non-car households), etc. If it is easy and economical, people will use it. Bus services need improvement to places like Teesside Park. The services that start are never advertised enough and don't run at times when staff from the stores are finishing and starting shifts. Getting 2 buses to and from work now costs the same as a taxi and is less convenient. I appreciate the need to accommodate freight, especially for our industry however the word has negative connotations and i would associate these with heavy industry. Should we try to promote a more people centric vision? Public transport that is well connected and useful at the right times of day making it efficient for as many as the population of the Tees Valley The plan is predictably car focused with a series of specific road improvements. By contrast the cycling and walking plan is a woolly aspiration to improve things, no identified gaps and no funding. I'd include connections to major hubs, e.g. London, Manchester and mention the aim for the services to run on time. It’s not all about Middlesbrough. We need to see more development of rail services to make them affordable to all not the few. Provide good affordable parking at the existing railway station such as Thornaby and Billingham and make it easier for people around Norton to access rail by providing a station on the line through Norton Roseworth, as a large housing area currently dependent on cars for transportation I think it’s a good vision encompassing the important features of travel. I’d like to see disabled access to Billingham station. I would use the train a lot more if I didn’t have to go Thornaby or Hartlepool To go place further afield. Improve traffic flow from Teesport A1053 past Greystone roundabout onto A174, vital if SSI is to be redeveloped effectively. Our area has all the key features required to be a freight hub for the north of England and Scotland - deep port, airport, rail links and road links. This could offer a great chance to develop and diversify the economy of our area. Needs to include our river .... This for commuting possibly freight and definitely tourism Seems clear enough The pollution/noise caused by traffic on Whinfield Road is unbearable, the volume of traffic is increasing by the day causing homes to shake. Unfair that residents are now living on a motorway, please push for The Darlington Bypass !!! It is well overdue !!!!!!! THE AIRPORT MUST LOOK TO MORE FLIGHTS DIRECT TO THE USA/CANADA AND DEVELOP THE HOTEL TO ENABLE VISITORS TO FLY IN AND USE IT WITH BETTER RAIL CONNECTIONS AS PART OF A PACKAGE. THE AIRPORT ITSELF SHOULD BECOME AN ECONOMIC ZONE WITH FLIGHTS INTO THE LONDON CITY AIRPORT. The cost of rail travel to cities outside the region needs to be more consistent e.g. it is often cheaper to travel to Edinburgh than to York Access for the those with Mobility Issues needs to be improved drastically if this plan is to meet t this vision. The expensive Northern link road is not needed to free up a short section of A167 & A1150 which are no worse than any other roads in Darlington during rush hours I have lived in North Darlington all my life and live on a development just off A1150 & have no problem morning & night getting off the estate to travel out of town to work most of the traffic is local school runs during term time out of term time the A167 & A1150 are extremely quiet spending hundreds of millions of tax payers hard earned money to replace some HGV traffic with 10,000 more car journeys from Skerningham Garden Community, Burtree Garden village & Burtree lane proposed developments would be a complete waste of tax payers money & a climate change & environment crime & then to try to call it economic growth for the region? To resurrect the Tees Valley metro project and increase the number of stations in the Tees Valley and introduce new rolling stock and increase services to reduce congestion on the road network It must be s practical, joined up plan. It's no good putting in cycleways from nowhere to nowhere, or 20 meters long, just to satisfy a statistic. Buses must be regular and if necessary variable routes. I suspect a new Eastern crossing may be the better long term option, and that this probably should be prioritised as a better use of the funds being made available for the Tees Flyover relief crossing. Although the Tees Flyover is heavily congested and needs relief, a new eastern crossing would divert a great deal of local and regional traffic away from the Tees Flyover crossing. Possibly sufficient to delay the immediate need to relieve the Tees Flyover. A new eastern crossing would also have the additional benefit of opening up the large areas of vacant land in the east of the Tees corridor between Redcar and Hartlepool for development, relieving some of the demand for land in the west of Tees corridor. A new Eastern crossing would also relieve some pressure from east-west traffic on the A66 that currently has to use the Tees Flyover. There would also be some general relief from traffic on the A172, Ormesby Road and Cargo Fleet Lane corridors linking to the A66 and travelling to/from the Tees Flyover. I honestly think that a new Eastern Crossing achieves so much more, and in both the medium and long term, it dilutes the pressure from traffic using the road transport system around the Tees Flyover area, rather than further concentration of traffic in the Tees Flyover area, which will lead to new traffic congestion problems within the surrounding transport infrastructure. I hope it will succeed in establishing good links between the different forms of transport. There is nothing in that phrase about climate change and transport's effects on it. The underlying assumption is that we need better mobility when in fact we need access. Not sure about 'quick' - that depends on your journey length. Reliability is more important Why wait....get it started now! New railway & bus hub at Guisborough. Have trains from Saltburn to this rail hub. Consider opening up the freight only line to Skinningrove to passenger services. I do not agree with plans for the Darlington Northern Link Road. These plans cause unnecessary destruction of a fantastic portion of greenfield land, rich in biodiversity. Expand and development of the River Tees for freight and explore the possibility of ferry to the continent ie Germany and Scandinavia Yes agreed, but it is a very generic statement used over and over again by every other area creating a strategic transport plan. Be more bold and think outside of the box. Action (and funding) will speak louder than words... Very little seems to be actually moving towards the vision You need to bypass Yarm and link roads better to main routes When can we expect teams and a passenger shipping terminal on the river tees? I think regular needs adding in. It’s not any of those things at present Completely agree with this - but this just feels like more talk and no action. We have schemes proposed in the past that never came to anything or were much reduced. The plan is also very centred on places like Middlesbrough/Darlington - note the heavy use of photos from these areas and very few if any from the Redcar/East Cleveland end. The transport vision doesn't lay out enough detail but feels like the Redcar and East Cleveland end is being neglected once again. Fix all the pot holes first. I think there should be an inclusion of the concept of connectivity which is at the heart of transport. It will probably be underfunded as most of these schemes are. It is imperative that initial estimates are highly accurate with penalties for exceeding budgets and timescales. Important that all the elements connect. Example into the airport road improvements over cycle lanes which don't seem to be used much at all The vision needs to be amplified to stress that the aims for both commercial and community movement will be afforded equal balance How could anyone Disagree? Cycle routes are a joke - especially the barriers they stop so many disabled people using them. Stockton High Street what a sham - ever tried crossing the Road entering Via Yarm Lane direction - who thought that up?? Sounds like a good vision The plans needs to be integrated and not only focus on major towns but East Cleveland as well Roads need to be repaired to a higher standard.

  • Spatial Distribution of Development Topic Paper
    This document was classified as: OFFICIAL Darlington Proposed Submission Local Plan (2016 – 36) Spatial Distribution of Development Topic Paper February 2021 DARLINGTON Ii wi BOROUGH COUNCIL 1 This document was classified as: OFFICIAL 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of this topic paper is to describe and justify the spatial distribution of development within the Proposed Submission Local Plan. A brief summary is provided to explain how the development requirements for new housing and employment development have been derived. Background information and detail are provided, outlining how the approach to distributing the identified development needs has been established. Key factors and related issues that have underpinned the locational strategy include the settlement hierarchy, economic factors, transport and infrastructure, physical and environmental constraints, site selection process and development limits methodology, all of which will be discussed in turn. 2. CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN POLICY 2.1 The current planning approach to distributing housing and employment growth across the borough is set out within the existing development plan for Darlington, largely the Core Strategy DPD (adopted April 2011). The policies contained in this document were required to be in conformity with the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for the North East, which at that time also formed part of the development plan. The RSS established the scale of housing and employment growth to be planned for in each local authority area and set guidelines for the way in which growth was to be distributed at the local level. 2.2 The spatial strategy for delivering the levels of growth identified in the RSS was to focus new development and regeneration activity within the main urban area.

  • Hsuk National Network Development
    HSUK NATIONAL NETWORK DEVELOPMENT These diagrams set out the vision of an enhanced national railway network, based around the High Speed UK core network of dedicated high speed lines. NND1 : EXISTING UK RAIL NETWORK This identifies the incomplete connectivity offered by the existing intercity rail network. Main lines radiate from London (East Coast, Midland, West Coast, Great Western) with CrossCountry and TransPennine providing interregional connections. These interregional routes comprise multiple city pairs, greatly increasing their viability, whereas the London-centric system comprises single city pairs. Connectivity is assessed against the benchmark requirement of direct services operating at minimum hourly frequency. Many of these services between regional centres comprise short and often ageing multiple units offering cramped passenger accommodation, not of ‘intercity’ quality. NND2 : HS2 PROPOSALS SUPERIMPOSED ONTO EXISTING UK RAIL NETWORK The HS2 proposals are illustrated in ‘extended Y’ format, extending either side of the Pennines beyond the currently projected terminating points of Leeds and Manchester to all primary regional centres. The resulting system is of limited connectivity, focussed upon London with few viable interregional links; it is also segregated from the existing intercity railway, with high speed stations disconnected from regional ‘hubs’, and intermediate centres left bypassed. This restricted connectivity will compromise economic (and environmental) performance, with most benefits accruing in London where connectivity is concentrated. It will also create a 2-tier system, compromising the basic integrity of the national rail network, and preventing efficient development of rail links within the Northern Powerhouse. NND3/4/5 : HIGH SPEED UK SUPERIMPOSED ONTO EXISTING UK RAIL NETWORK High Speed UK’s blend of new build and upgraded routes, and its radically different ‘spine and spur’ configuration gives comprehensive connectivity between all primary regional centres of the Midlands, the North and Scotland.

  • Borough of Darlington Listed Buildings
    EXTRACTS FROM THE LISTS OF BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST FOR THE BOROUGH OF DARLINGTON Updated 01/11/2016 Economic Initiative Division Darlington Borough Council INTRODUCTION WHAT THIS DOCUMENT REPRESENTS This document consists of an export from a Listed Buildings database maintained by Darlington Borough Council. The data has been captured from various statutory lists that have been compiled over the years by the Secretary of State for different parts of the Borough. Some of the information has been amended for clarity where a building has been demolished/de- listed, or an address has changed. Each entry represent a single ‘listing’ and these are arranged by parish or town. The vast majority of entries are in one-to-a-page format, although some of the more recent listings are more detailed and lengthy descriptions, spilling over to 2 or 3 pages. BACKGROUND The first listings, in what is now the Borough of Darlington, were made in 1952. The urban area was the subject of a comprehensive re-survey in 1977, and the rural area in 1986 (western parishes) and 1988 (eastern parishes). A number of formal changes to the lists have been made since, as individual buildings have been ‘spot-listed’, de-listed, had grades changed, descriptions altered and mistakes corrected. Further information on conservation in the Borough of Darlington can be found on our website. See www.planning.gov.uk/conservation. NAVIGATING THIS DOCUMENT Unfortunately there is no index to this document in its current format. Please use the text search facility provided in your PDF Viewer to find the entry that you require.
