Outline planning applications do not normally enable this as there is usually insufficient detail to assess the impact of the proposal upon the character or appearance of the area. Policy 22 The council will seek to preserve or enhance the character, appearance or setting of the district's conservation areas by: (i) Not allowing development which would detract from the character, appearance or setting of the conservation area; (ii) Only permitting development within, adjoining or affecting conservation areas where it is appropriate in terms of its siting, layout, site coverage, height, roof style, detailed design and materials (iii) Protecting important views into and out of the conservation area (iv) Protecting trees, hedgerows, open spaces and other landscape features which contribute to the character or appearance of the conservation area and its setting; (v) Maintaining a general presumption in favour of retaining buildings which make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the conservation area and only allowing complete or substantial demolition where a strong case in favour of the demolition as opposed to preservation can be made having taken into account alternative uses, the possibility of charitable or community ownership and any community benefits arising from the proposal, and (vi) Only granting consent to demolish buildings in conservation areas where there are acceptable detailed plans for any redevelopment. Any such consents shall be subject to conditions to provide that demolition shall not take place until a contract for the carrying out of the works of redevelopment and planning permission for those works has been granted (vii) Only considering outline planning applications in conservation areas if supported by sufficient details to enable the impact of the proposal upon the character, appearance or setting of the area to be assessed. Control of advertisements in Conservation areas 3.87 Poorly sited and designed advertisements and signs in conservation areas can detrimentally affect the character of a group of buildings or an area of open space. Advertisements should, therefore, be sympathetic in scale and character to existing buildings and the surrounding area. The introduction of internally illuminated signs would generally be inappropriate to the historic and architectural environment of a conservation area although external illuminations will be encouraged where this is sympathetic to these aspects. Policy 23 - This policy has lapsed The location and design of advertisements in a conservation area should be appropriate both to the character of the buildings on which they are situated and the surrounding area.' Development affecting Listed buildings and their settings 3.88 A listed building is a building or structure which the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport considers to be of special architectural or historic interest. These buildings or structures are graded as Grade I, ll* or II according to their relative importance and are statutorily protected. This means that in order to alter the character of, extend or demolish a listed building, listed building consent is required from the Council. 3.89 Development affecting listed buildings can comprise proposals to extend, alter or otherwise affect the internal and/or external character or appearance of the building as well as development adjacent to, or in the vicinity of them, which may affect their wider setting. In other cases there may be proposals to demolish a listed building either partially or completely. Where demolition or alterations to a listed building are proposed applicants may be requested to arrange programmes of recording so as to provide a record for future reference and research. 3.90 There is a small but important number of listed buildings in the District. They provide an important link with the past and make a significant contribution to the character of the area. Once lost, listed buildings cannot be replaced. They represent a finite and irreplaceable asset. For this reason and in line with government guidance in PPG15, there will be a general presumption in favour of retention and demolition will only be appropriate where either there is clear and convincing evidence that all reasonable efforts have been made to sustain existing uses or find viable new uses, and these efforts have failed or that preservation in some form of charitable or community use is not possible or suitable. Additionally, demolition may be appropriate where there are community benefits which outweigh the loss resulting from demolition. Return to contents Top of chapter Page 34 3.90A The character of listed buildings can be easily damaged and it is therefore important that the structures are maintained in a reasonable state of repair and their essential character is not adversely affected by alterations or new development. This is most likely to be achieved where original features, both internal and external, such as doors, windows and chimney stacks are retained and where the design and scale of the proposal and the materials to be used are complimentary to the existing building. Applications for listed building consent should therefore include fully detailed drawings at appropriate scales and clearly showing all proposed works. Finally, the setting of a listed building is often an essential part of its character and this aspect will be given particular consideration in any assessment of development proposals Policy 24 Any developments which adversely affect the character, appearance, special architectural features or setting of a listed building will not be approved. Proposals for the alteration or extension of a listed building should incorporate the retention of architectural or historic features which are important to the character of the building.

  • East Durham Area Action Partnership Annual Report 2020-2021
    East Durham Area Action Partnership Better for everyone East Durham Area Action Partnership Annual Report 2020/21 Introduction The past twelve months have challenged us all in many ways. The Covid pandemic has changed how the council and Area Action Partnerships (AAPs) have had to work as many communities and local residents have struggled because of the restrictions that we have all had to follow. If there are positives we can take from this terrible situation it is that ‘community’ is alive and well in County Durham. Thousands of people have stepped forward and have taken action to ensure the most isolated and vulnerable have been looked after. The people of County Durham need to be applauded for their efforts. Many of those organisations that have been helping out have been supported by the AAPs who have provided funding to numerous groups enabling them to do their vital work. Some of this funding has come directly through the AAPs whilst other resources have been allocated from the County Councillors Neighbourhood Budgets. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the AAP teams for their help and support in ensuring that our Neighbourhood Budgets have been making a real difference in local communities. The next year will be no less challenging but I am delighted to say that the AAPs are being given extra resources to help communities recover from the pandemic. There is also new funding to support the County Council’s Towns and Villages Programme and the AAPs will be playing a key role in ensuring this funding helps to improve communities across County Durham.

    29th October - 16th November 2014 photo: Alastair Muir Billy Elliot The Musical Live! The East Durham Creates Festival was launched on 28 September 2014 with two very special screenings of Billy Elliot The Musical Live in Easington Social Welfare Centre. Coinciding with a national and international live broadcast of the West End Theatre production these were the only screenings that took place in a venue that is not a theatre or cinema. They were made possible through the generous support of Universal Pictures and Working Title Films, and tickets were subsidised through personal sponsorship from the creative team behind the film Billy Elliot. Billy’s journey takes him into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever. East Durham Creates aims to similarly instil and celebrate creative activity across the area. 2 A very warm welcome… to the first East Durham Creates Festival, a collection of over 40 performances, exhibitions and events to experience and enjoy this Autumn. The Festival brings unique outdoor performances and film screenings, community parades, theatre and a wide range of workshops, artist talks and much more to towns and villages across the area. There’s something to experience for all tastes and ages; from playing games in unexpected places, to guided walks with artists and experts exploring local heritage, myths and legends. You can borrow a piece of art to display in your own home or join us to commemorate significant moments in the area’s history. We’re thrilled to be welcoming highly regarded artists and performers from the UK and beyond to the area, and premiering two special new commissions by artist Dryden Goodwin and composer Ed Carter plus performances from innovative theatre company Uninvited Guests and astonishing Brooklyn-based musicians So Percussion.

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2016
    County Durham Rare Plant Register 2016 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MCIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] www.durhamnature.co.uk 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 2016, fourth edition of the “RPR”, dedicated to Keith Cunningham, who helped so much with the early databases and in many other ways. Improvements in this edition include- The new English Red List is incorporated into this edition. An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. Cover picture—Bird’s Eye Primrose at Widdybank Fell. Introduction Most 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 have also had a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, which until 2013 carried out conservation projects to protect the rare species. It is hoped that the “RPR” will act as a stimulus for local botanists to make special efforts to improve the database by recording these species. The register will be used to increase our understanding of the status and distribution of the rare species, and to aid and promote their conservation. Species Covered Three groups of vascular plant species are included.

  • Ethnicity in the North East an Overview
    EthnicityNORTH EAST Ethnicity in the North East an overview NORTH EAST ASSEMBLY THE VOICE FOR THE REGION Ethnicity in the Acknowledgements North East I would like to acknowledge the help and guidance received from everyone I have contacted while compiling this guidance. I am particularly indebted to the staff of the Home Office Drugs Prevention Advisory Service, particularly Robert Martin Government Office for the North East and Deborah Burns and Karen Kirkbride, for their continuous support, advice and encouragement. Veena Soni Diversity Advisor Drugs Prevention Advisory Service 1 Ethnicity in the Foreword by Angela Eagle North East The Home Office has committed itself to promoting race equality, particularly in the provision of public services such as education, health, law and order, housing and local government; and achieve representative workforces in its services areas. We are also working hard to promote cohesive communities and deal with the issues that cause segregation in communities. One of the Home OfficeÕs seven main aims is to support strong and active communities in which people of all races and backgrounds are valued and participate on equal terms by developing social policy to build a fair, prosperous and cohesive society in which everyone has a stake. To work with other departments and local government agencies and community groups to regenerate neighbourhoods, to support families; to develop the potential of every individual; to build the confidence and capacity of the whole community to be part of the solution; and to promote good race and community relations, combating prejudice and xenophobia. To promote equal opportunities both within the Home Office and more widely and to ensure that active citizenship contributes to the enhancement of democracy and the development of civil society.
