DON’T MISS OUT ON YOUR CHANCE TO COMMENT ON THIS PLANNING APPLICATION!
Banks Group have submitted a hybrid planning application (DM/26/00456/FPA) proposing full planning permission for the erection of 48 dwellings, vehicular access, landscaping and associated infrastructure; and Outline planning permission with all matters reserved for the erection of 2 dwellings, landscaping and associated infrastructure on land to the West of the Junction of A689 and Stockton Road. This development will have significant impacts upon our Town, so it is important that you consider this and make Durham County Council, our Local Planning Authority, aware of your views. If you choose to object, you should only do that on material planning grounds.
Sedgefield Town Council is objecting to this planning application and the following issues:
- Over development of the Town – we’ve seen 25% growth in size over the last 10 years;
- Infrastructure impacts – more housing will impact upon flooding problems, put more strain on the town’s existing services, including but not limited to, schools, health services, and sewage and water pressure
- Type of housing proposed
- Highway safety/access concerns
- Impact on local character/landscape value
- Flooding/sustainable drainage concerns
- Impact on trees and ecology/biodiversity
