Planning committee
Decided by Durham Area Planning Committee (Central and East) on 9 Jun 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the affordable homes’ benefits outweighed limited harms and policy conflicts.
- Residents and the local member raised concerns about parking, traffic, access, crime, the promised park and local infrastructure.
- The committee approved the application with amended conditions, an additional traffic-survey condition and internal-transfer contributions.
