Durham County Council has received a planning application for one dwelling at the Blue House Farm site between Hesleden Road and the Whindyke estate in Blackhall Colliery.
As there have been a number of quite severe problems with previous developments at this site I have asked the planning case officer to refer this application to the planning committee for consideration.
I am aware that one or two residents nearby have already expressed concerns about this development and I would be interested to hear from any others who may have an opinion, one way or the other, regarding this planning proposal:
Residents opinions will help to decide a way forward - to either challenge the application at committee or insist that stringent conditions are applied to any consent to ensure that the development will proceed without disruption to those living nearby.
