DM/26/02569/DRC - Details Reserved by Condition Pending Consideration

Proposal

An amended Drainage Plan (ref: Amended Drainage Design - Rev B updated) will be submitted to re-discharge Condition 10 - it will show the gravel strip that was installed during the construction phase to give additional protection to the neighbouring properties from surface water run off. We had reports from a neighbour that they had noticed that as a result their garden was dryer than usual in wet conditions. As a result we decided to leave it at post construction as a conservative approach. The trench is simply to add additional volume for any ground water to the rear of the flag on edge.

Site constraints 4

Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Bishop Auckland built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 8 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
