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

  • Tees Valley Giants
    5TEES VALLEY GIANTS TEES VALLEY GIANTS A series of five world-class art installations matched only in scale by the ambition of Tees Valley Regeneration in its instigation of the project. Temenos is the first iteration of the five sculptures that will combine as the world’s largest series of public art - the Tees Valley Giants. The epically scaled installations created by Turner Prize winning sculptor Anish Kapoor and pioneering structural designer Cecil Balmond, will soon grace the Tees Valley, with the first of these, Temenos, located at Middlehaven, Middlesbrough. Over the next decade four more structures will be located within each of the other four Tees Valley boroughs: Stockton, Hartlepool, Darlington and Redcar and Cleveland. Although each work is individually designed and specific to its location, the structures will be thematically related, visually linking the Tees Valley and highlighting the ambition for social, cultural and economic regeneration of the Tees Valley as a whole. Massive in impact, scale and world status, Tees Valley Giants is symbolic of the aspiration and ongoing commitment of Tees Valley Regeneration to enhance the way in which the Tees Valley is viewed and experienced. TEMENOS Temenos Greek, meaning ‘land cut off and assigned as sanctuary or holy area.’ Temenos is a bold contemporary artwork which also recalls the heritage of Middlesbrough and the Tees Valley. Its construction will call on the traditional twin skills of the region: precision engineering and heavy industry. Standing at a height of nearly 50 metres and spanning almost 120 metres in length, Temenos will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Middlesbrough’s landmark Transporter Bridge.

  • Flatts Wood & Percy Beck
    Flatts Wood & Percy Beck Two Beautiful Woodland Walks in Barnard Castle Route 1: 30 - 45mins (1.1 km / 0.7 miles) Route 2: 60 - 75mins (1.7 km / 1 mile) BOTH ARE CIRCULAR WALKS Flatts Wood Woodland Walk Introduction Welcome to Flatts Wood and Percy Beck, often referred to as Barnard Castle’s “green lung”. It’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the town centre and enjoy some peace and quiet. In medieval times, the Flatts was a large open area of land adjacent to the Castle and was used as a military training area. The woods that bordered this area became known as Flatts Woods. The Flatts are now Flatts Road, Raby Avenue, Vane Road and Cecil Road. In the 9th Century, both the Flatts and the woods were given to the Church (the Prince Bishops of Durham). In the 11th Century, the land was seized by the Earls of Northumberland but after a failed rebellion, King William II granted the land to a loyal Durham County Record Office D/CI 5/109 supporter, Guy de Baliol (much to the anger of the Prince Bishops). He constructed a timber fortress and associated earth works, but it was his nephew (Bernard) and then his son, who constructed a stone fortress and the town walls, granted a market, set out field systems, pastures and demesne land and created a hunting park (incorporating the woods). In the 17th Century, the Vane family of Raby Castle bought all of the land and it remains in their ownership today.

  • Tees Valley City Region Business Case and City Region Development Programme
    TEES VALLEY CITY REGION BUSINESS CASE AND CITY REGION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1st September 2006 Rep1589 PREFACE In May 2006, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government asked the Tees Valley authorities to prepare a city region business case based on the City Region Development Programme (CRDP) produced in 2005 to: a) Provide a coherent economic analysis of the City Region; b) From the analysis identify how the City Region could improve its economic performance; c) Identify any governance arrangements necessary to deliver this improved economic performance; d) Identify how Government can help the area improve its economic performance. At the same time the Northern Way asked the Tees Valley City Region to produce a second iteration of the City Region Development Programme. Since the purpose of the CRDP is somewhat similar, this document serves both purposes. The main document is quite lengthy because it contains much of the evidence base to justify our proposals. For this reason we have prepared this Executive Summary. Further details can be found in the: a) The Tees Valley City Region Business Case and Development Programme; b) An Economic Analysis of the Tees Valley City Region; c) An Investment Strategy for the Tees Valley; d) The Case for Housing Market Restructuring; e) A series of business cases/funding bids from the Department for Transport for infrastructure improvements, primarily the local bus and rail networks.

Glossary 38 01 Executive Foreword This is an exciting time for the future development of Stockton-on-Tees. The Borough faces the greatest degree of physical change for a century. The regeneration of former industrial areas linked to high quality development of town centres and an improvement in housing choice and quality across the Borough, means that there will be a step change in facilities and opportunities for local people. The Regeneration Strategy captures the progress through effective partnerships that has been made over the last 10 years, and looks forward over the next decade when much of the planning will be delivered. It captures the spirit of Government policy and tells the local story of regeneration in Stockton-on-Tees which is set out in the major regional, sub-regional and local strategies and is making the Borough a fantastic place with an exceptional and sustainable future. R. Cook Councillor R. Cook Cabinet Member for Regeneration 02 Introduction Stockton Borough Council’s Regeneration Strategy recognises the pivotal role of place shaping in regeneration. The urban and rural fabric of the Borough are its key assets in delivering a step change in opportunities for local people. By focussing development primarily in the urban areas the Council and its partners have set in place sustainable plans that will drive the physical renaissance of the Borough.

This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Jeremy Garside, Chief Executive of Tees Valley Wildlife Trust This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Alongside its heavy industry Teesside has some fantastic countryside. There are numerous parks, green spaces and nature reserves which provide excellent opportunities for countryside activities, from walking to wildlife spotting. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future.
