Five County Durham Planning Decisions You May Have Missed This Week

  • This past week, Darlington Borough Council decided on a host of planning applications, including listed building consent for Polam Hall School, permission to remodel the bungalow at 1 Essex Way, and outline consent at Briar House, 2 Blackwell.
  • Polam Hall School's listed building consent covers demolition, partial demolition, refurbishment, and a new two-storey extension to the main building, with the August 20 proposal approved to modernise while retaining heritage features.
  • Permission to remodel 1 Essex Way allows converting the bungalow into a two-storey house with a rear dormer and two Velux windows after a September 12 application approval.
  • The Briar House outline consent clears the way to demolish outbuildings at Briar House, 2 Blackwell, for two new dwellings and a new access drive, with all matters reserved.
  • Amid a busy week for local planning authorities, decisions included reserved‑matters approval for 83 dwellings at Weaver Shipyard, Saxons Lane, Northwich, and installation of 972 roof‑mounted solar panels.
