The County Durham Plan consultation will begin on the 22 June and will last for six weeks until Friday 3 August.
The document that you need to examine to see how it impacts on your parish area is the “Preferred Option” stage of the plan, which sets out potential development across the county until 2035. It covers future housing, jobs and the environment as well as the transport, schools and healthcare to support it. Please click here to access the page which shows a link to the full County Durham Plan and provides further information about the plan.
There are a series of consultation sessions across the County starting on June 25 in Spennymoor Town Hall. Members of the public are encouraged to attend one of the sessions being held by DCC planners.
Once the current consultation is completed, the responses will be used to create the next draft of the plan, known as the Pre-Submission Draft. Further consultation will then be held before that plan, and any further comments, are submitted to an independent examiner who will decide whether the plan can be adopted.
